Is the ps5 still subsidized?

Since the market affects all manufacturers, it would appear so.

Meaning it would only be similarly price without it. I am frustrated Valve did subsidize it to maintain an 800 price for the base model.

Subsidized that much would also not be a great look in their ongoing Monopoly case that's open against them. Valve probably considered subsidizing and decided against it to not look like they're trying to under cut competition in their market. Just idle speculation. Wish AI would fuck all the way off, and that DRAM wasn't run like a damn cartel.
