I wonder if DDR prices are a factor. They might lose too much with the lower proved model compared to the OLED models.

These have DDR4 RAM, right? But Gaben did say that the original $399 price was difficult to hit, so any small increase in component prices might make it impossible.

Look on OfferUp and you'll see folks coming out of the woodwork trying to sell 64gb DDR4 for $300-700.

If Gabe Newell was going to fund something with his personal finances why in living fuck would he subsidize a games console instead of donating to charity.
