putting an exclusive game on the steam machine would be an extremely dumb move anyways. valves not in the business trying to sell 5+ figure levels of these devices, just to get enough interest going that 3rd parties start to take it seriously.
It’s estimated that they’re selling 12,000-15,000 Steam Machines a weeks and my non-professional back-of-the-napkin math says that’s five figure levels.
