Valve’s Steam Machine finally has a price: a whopping $1,049 for the 512GB configuration or $1,349 for the 2TB version. And those are without bundled controllers, which drive up the cost more.
The prices are so high in part because Valve isn’t subsidizing the hardware, and the company has already indicated that the component crisis forced it to reconsider its initial pricing plans. In an interview with the YouTube channel Gamers Nexus, Valve engineers discussed the reality of sourcing RAM in 2026, with take-it-or-leave-it prices as memory and other components remain in short supply, from only a few vendors like Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix.

Valve, of course, isn’t the only company in a bind over memory shortages, as the crunch is forcing many hardware makers to make significant pricing changes. Even Apple CEO Tim Cook is warning of incoming price hikes for iPhones, Macs, and other devices. And the RAM crunch isn’t projected to get better anytime soon.
Damn the verge now just quotes GN? They may as well just link their video without writing anything, lol. They added nothing to this article.
Not that I can read much of it because of the paywall.
The video is quite long. If they wrote about the video specifically, and GN has no text article, there’s value in that in my eyes. For a different format and significant condensation or highlighting.
If you click “read mode” (im on librewolf but any firefox fork will do) you can access the whole article just fine.
Ohh that’s neat!
Probably doesn’t help in this case, but check out Bypass Paywalls Clean :)
I prefer Bypass Paywalls Dirty 😈

Doesn’t work on every site, but 13ft ladder is a self hostable replacement
