Valve is paying the tariffs for now, like most businesses do, but as an overall tactic it's unsustainable for the long run. And half of them aren't actually in effect yet anyway because trump keeps pushing the dates back.

My guess would be that they are literally just doing a clearance sale on excess stock to free up some warehouse space somewhere.

Warehouse rent costs money, maybe they dont wanna pay it for nothing, or maybe that're working on some new shit they need that space for.

New one was in testing a while back so maybe they want to clear everything to build demand up
