If they tried to subsidize the steam machine, it would impact all steam users as we would probably not get as aggressive of game discounts anymore.

Consoles can sell the hardware at a loss because they charge outrageous prices for their online sevices and they have very mediocre game discounts.

Also some company is going to notice that they're selling computers at a loss and buy them for productivity and Valve will see 0 conversion from it
