But that is still preferable over no vouchers. The point is, that the machine gets more expensive because of the vouchers, so that Valve does not pay from their own pocket. This way the system gets more expensive for those who don't want to use it for gaming and have less incentive of buying it. And for the gamer, they would buy games anyway, so its not a big deal.
The only problem with that is, that the system gets more expensive and that is bad.
