    Valve is shipping the steam machine with a single stick of 16gb of RAM, what they were able to procure. This hampers performance. Parts of the video make it sound like gn thinks valve is doing this maliciously, despite gn also saying this is what valve was able to get all they could ship more machines.

      There’s an interview with two Valve employees (maybe by Tested? I forget) where they were very clear that this is what RAM they were able to purchase. Otherwise they would simply have to produce far fewer Steam Machines overall. Not very good choices to have when releasing a product…

      EDIT: Nope I guess it was n fact Steve from GN doing that interview, clips are in this video, and Valve corrected the statement to say that all machines are shipping with a single 16 GB RAM stick. Damn.

      At no point in the video does Steve suggest it was malicious
