Valve says rising RAM and storage costs made its original Steam Machine pricing goal impossible, while also limiting launch availability
Damn, okay. The Steam Machine is expensive . Over $1000 for just the base model, and even more if you want more storage or a Steam controller. And if that price has your eyes popping out of your head, cartoon-style, you can blame the current RAM crisis brought about by the AI rush, without which it probably would have been about $250 cheaper.
The Steam Machine is Valve's new piece of hardware entering the scene as a mini PC built for living room gaming. I love a lot about it, had some issues with it, but overall came away from my time with it feeling very positive.
