- Comment on AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release 3 weeks ago:
Selling products below cost is legally anticompetitive behavior. Anticompetitive behavior is only illegal for monopolists, which Valve aren’t. But they have been accused and sued, part of why those suits haven’t lead to them being declared a monopoly is because they don’t engage in enough anticompetitive practices. So adding anticompetitive practices would be extremely risky for Valve.

That’d be anticompetitive and would be used against them in lawsuits. By Epic, who use anticompetitive exclusivity agreements & subsidise giveaways, but aren’t in a dominant market position so it’s totally not hypocritical.
- Comment on Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama. 2 months ago:
there are actually plenty of reasons to NOT want any kind of bi-directional data transfer between your device and the TV
I’ve got bad news for you about HDMI then…
