Valve has sent its Steam Machine initiative the way of the dodo bird. While Hot Hardware points to the inexpensive Steam Link being the final nail in the coffin, we have always felt that Valve's bungling with selling its own hardware like the Steam Controller was its own self-imposed major obstacle that neutered the Steam Machine movement out of the gate for OEMs that were working with Valve. But that is another story and one I am not at liberty to openly discuss. Maybe one day.... Of course, for the Steam Machine to be dead, it would have first had to be alive, right?
Now when you click or hover on Hardware, it only shows links for the Steam Controller, Steam Link, and HTC Vive. You can actually still find Steam Machines by doing a search in Steam or by loading up the old landing spot manually. However, the actual hardware is gone, now replaced by a search list with links to external websites where they can be purchased outside of Steam.
