People keep blaming AI for the steam machine pricing but nobody is forcing the semiconductor and memory manufacturers to raise their prices. Most of the ram capacity is held up in non binding agreements. Furthermore most likely the ram manufacturers are artificially raising their prices to cash in on the AI boom.
(Yes AI does play a massive part here but they’re only half the problem).
Plus, VALVe knows that people will defend anything they do and purchase anything they sell no matter the cost, while saying that VALVe is just a small indie company that needs their personal money.
Genuinely, half the shit VALVe gets away with would be talked endlessly if any other company did it. VALVe stans are the Disney adults of gaming culture.
Why is steam being killed by AI?
Yeah that doesn’t make sense at all

capitalizing the company’s name like that kind of makes you look silly
