Steam Machine's Originally Planned Price Was Way More Affordable
I do not envy Valve. The acclaimed game developer and Steam proprietor has just announced the price of the Steam Machine, and early reactions are not in the least bit positive. The upcoming gaming PC, notable for its small form factor and focus on TV gaming, costs $1,049 for its base model, with greater storage options and Steam Controller bundles reaching up to $1,428. As we all expected, though, this eye-watering price isn't what Valve had originally planned.
