I do not really have a body for this. I was not aware that this is a thing and still feel like this is bs, but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum’s decision that I am missing.

    I’m wondering if Valve might just include a DP to HDMI cable for the Steam Machine - since it includes DP.

    Not sure it’s economically viable for device makers to drop HDMI altogether since TVs will never do that

      If they sell 2 variants of the Steam Machine, they could remove HDMI from one , and just put it in the more expensive variant, to reflect the extra headaches and cost that comes from HDMI.

      That’d encourage people to get screens with DisplayPort. Many computer screens have DP.
