The employee builds a Steam Machine with either a €100 or €250 drive. All costs are the same except for that drive. However, the difference in price the end consumer pays is not a €150 difference but a €320 one.
This implies Valve takes their costs and just adds a percentage margin over it for profit. And I’m saying they shouldn’t do that. Pay what must be paid and let us pay the same.
Can’t be the exact cost of a drive, you have to market research to buy the best for the system. Then marketing etc. Cost are never just hardware for a corpo, but yeah in a dream world corpo should not be evil.
If it is the same producer of disk I may be wrong, though one the part you pay for research of the best sdd.
Employee need to be paid to build it, ship it. You are asking them to sell at loss. But okey.
You misunderstood. No profit does not equal loss.

Margin helps account for support, returns, and short term cost increases. You think anything beyond zero is unfair?
But more than 200%, though?
All of that is called cost, not profit.
