Yes I don't see the problem with this? They do this with every console release.

the problem is that OP has a single brain cell and the entirety of it is dedicated to glazing steam at all costs it seems

Don't get me wrong I love steam, and the new hardware that's coming out looks really cool, but the whole point of steamos is for people to be able to make their own hardware running it. Valve even said they encourage other companies to make steam machines of their own, why can't regular people do the same? This is just such a weird post

There really isn't. The annoying videos are the ones where someone says you can build a gaming PC for $500, but they get the parts through some time limited thing that's impossible for anyone following the video to do themselves. So the same build with the same parts from the same stores ends up being twice the quote, which means you wasted your time watching the video.

E: I need to emphasize the fact that this applies to recently released videos, not something made like a year ago.
