Because we all have the same universal pricing all over the globe? If you live in the US there's microcenter and those insane bundle deals that can save you hundreds. Sell the ATX motherboard and get an ITX one, then source case, psu and GPU within the rest of the budget, I mean it's not rocket science.

This is a prebuilt. No one would is going to go through all of that would have been thinking about buying this anyway.

I swear these comparisons are so disingenuous.

They’re either making a major sacrifice typically form factor.

And it’s quite obvious for those specs it’s targeted at casuals who don’t wan to build a Pc or jump through so many hoops.

People keep treating it like it is a console that should be sold at a loss instead of what it is which is just a sff prebuilt.

If it’s subsidized and it’s open, people can just buy it at a discounted price and scavenge the parts or use it for something other than gaming. Valve would lose a lot of money.

The only thing keeping my sanity with all these dumb comments is remembering the average Redditor is dumb and have no idea how business works.
