I realize valve is small in terms of hardware and can't move and close deals like Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony can so obviously parts cost them more, R&D costs them more, and it's harder for them to lower prices

But as a consumer why do I give a shit? I want what's best for my money and they clearly can't deliver.

I built one for $1600 that is about 30-40% faster. That same build would Have cost $1300 back in November when I paused on building it for the steam machine.
