Valve says it isn't subsidizing the Steam Machine's $1050 price because of its 'religious' refusal…
Valve has explained its decision not to subsidize the Steam Machine's high $1049 price, citing a commitment to its belief in open ecosystems and free markets. The company argues that subsidizing hardware would contradict this philosophy, unlike traditional console manufacturers who often sell hardware at a loss to drive profits through software and services.
