Andrew Bond asked a simple question about Valve's new hardware, and his comment section treated it like a survey. "Why does nobody have a steam machine?" went up on October 2 and has kept moving ever since, close to a quarter of a million views later, still the busiest thing on the channel.

The answers below it mostly come back to one word: price. Viewers trade guesses about what the machine costs and argue over whether that is Valve's doing or simply what PC parts cost now. A few point back to the Steam Deck as the device that really changed things. And then there are the owners, quietly checking in to say theirs sits under the living-room TV and works fine, which is a fair reply to the title.

It was one of fifteen shorts in a busy week for a channel that bills itself as a one stop shop for gaming and tech. The rest ranged from a Samsung tablet that may or may not be a laptop to a question about billionaires and old phones, which is now the second fastest mover. The most personal one was "Building a pink gaming pc for my wife," tagged with Hyte, the case maker known for its showy glass builds, and it has passed 165,000 views.

The channel as a whole ran slower than its usual pace, and subscribers ticked up modestly. Among the tech review channels near its size, only Zack Shutt gathered more views over the week.

  • I think its because the price got rid of all the online hype and the only ones who bought are the ones who are genuine fans and gamers

  • It's too expensive, but it really isn't Valve's fault. Everything PC related skyrocketed in price.

  • The controllers sold seperately because it can connect to any controller, so usually people have a controller already and dont wana be forced to pay extra when they already have a controller to use.
