Obviously, Valve is to blame for torturing the fans but it seems that the fingers are being pointed elsewhere. GamingBolt revealed what Managing Director of Equity Research at Wedbush Securities’ Michael Patcher has to say about it and it seems that the lad blames the Steam Machines.
If there is a gaming title to launch with a brand new console, it is Half Life 3. Patcher believes that the Steam Machines development has been the reason for Half Life 3’s delay. After all, doing so will only boost the sales of the Machines by a greater margin.
Patcher took note of the existing Steam Machines and noticed that they are too costly to own. Valve will realize these slow sales and might exploit Half Life 3’s popularity to give the Steam Machines a boost.
On the other hand, it contradicts to Valve message where the Steam Machines won’t have exclusive games. Then again, the game developer has been very evasive on certain subjects and this may well be one of them.
