The Steam Machine Is Dead (And Valve Knows It)

The Steam Deck just jumped 44% overnight. Same chip, same screen, same machine from 2023, now $240 more. Everyone's mad about the Deck. Almost nobody is connecting it to the thing that actually died last week: the Steam Machine. The whole pitch was that it's cheaper than building a PC. Valve already told us it won't be. In this video I break down the math on the hike, why it hits harder coming from Valve than anyone else, and why the cheap-PC-alternative we were all quietly excited about is probably already cooked before it ships. Not in the market for a build right now? Totally fair. But if you ever want a machine that just works, with one number to call when it doesn't, that's what we do at METAPCs ➡️ https://bit.ly/3Mb4yVg Chapters: Intro - 00:00 The hike nobody saw coming - 01:52 Why it hits different when it's Valve - 05:20 The Steam Machine was already dead - 08:34 Every door just closed - 14:03 The case that it's not that bad - 17:02 Final thoughts - 18:44 Follow me on other platforms:   / zackshutt     / zackshutt   #pcgaming #steamdeck #valve
