Valve has revealed the launch price of the long-awaited Steam Machine; the cheapest version is $1049, and it doesn't come with a controller.
Me to my fiancee when I'm playing Prison of Husks and I reach the Prison of Husks: "That's the Prison of Husks."
The outcome is disappointing but not terribly surprising.
A calendar for games? Imagine!
The company says subsidizing hardware costs is ultimately worse for the consumer.

Battlefield 6 and The Sims publishers EA are making another round of layoffs as they seek "to better meet fans’ changing needs", according to a report. The exact number of people affected is unknown, but apparently, there have been cutbacks across recruitment, IT, customer support, and the "trust and safety" division broadly responsible for encouraging EA players and streamers to be nice to each other.

The new Steam Machine, which Valve have just opened to randomised reservations, starts at £879 / $1049 / €1039 for the base 512GB model, and costs £1149 / $1349 / €1359 for the 2TB version – climbing to £1208 / $1428 / €1428 if you bundle in a Steam Controller.

Body horror, shiny lasers, and callous political machinations in a tough strategy game? What a treat!
Have to say, it was more fun when the Steam Deck launched. That was a cool thing, afforded the space and the grace to just be a cool thing. The new Steam Machine, by contrast, arrives at a time when the creative industry it relies upon is being stripped to the bone, and the physical components it’s built upon are trapped in a historically terrible econo-ravaging. Also, everyone hates each other. As powerful as Valve are, there’s only so much a little SteamOS box can shrug off. The
After months of delaying, price worries, and scarce component-wrangling, the new Steam Machine is ready for launch. Valve have confirmed that the reservation system for orders – an initially randomised variant of how they’re current selling the Steam Controller – is open now for signups, and have lifted the embargo on Steam Machine reviews. That’s ours, right there. Also, we finally know just how much you’ll be asked to pay for the diminutive SteamOS system. Ready?

Valve admits its higher than hoped: "Our original goal for the price⌠is no longer viable."
A wonderful design can't beat the ugly realities of pricing, performance, and consumer value.
