    Why shouldn’t they? Margins are going to be tight btw, so they’re really not. What they’re really selling is a vehicle for Steam.

    BTW, try putting together a same or better spec build yourself and get back to us with the cost.

        For like $50-$100 cheaper. And they all ignored the small form factor which could easily cost that.

        You can build and buy a pre-built PC that easily outperforms the Steam console.

      Because they are a for profit company with a billionaire ceo. Making profits it’s their job.

      The price you pay for something in a store is not the same price valve pays for a stock of parts. They buy the same stuff for a lot cheaper and resell it at an higher price to make profits.
