>>732314962The pricing fiasco killing all hype meant this was bound to happen. Any excuse to hit the drawing board again was going to be acceptable.
>>732314962who gives a fuck about the steam machine, my poor steam frame is delayed
>>732314962steam machine will release with half life 3
There was no other option for them, AI forced Valve's hand>Release it>Get accused of greedy pricing >Cancel it>Waste that time and materials for nothing >Admit the market is just too fucked to release anything in and that they'll wait and see what happens after a while>Still bad but not as bad as the other 2
For others tuning in. Basically they've delayed it from Q1 2026 to the first half of 2026. This is due to price increases amid RAM shortages
>>732315012Its the smart move desu. Just wait a year or two and hope that the prices come down. Its what I'd do if I were Gabe
>>732315263This AI bullshit will blow over after the tech jews get done scamming boomer retards out of their retirement investments. Its the .com bubble all over again
All this fat fuck has to do is sell us affordable PC gaming hardware at a loss. He could single handedly make a power play to displace console gaming forever. But he won't because he is gay and jewish.
>>732315829Would never work. Gaming on steam just doesn't feel right.
>>732315737In a year or two consumer RAM won't exist anymore.Hope you like cloud gaming!
I’ve tried to use AI and it’s never been useful for me. summarizing a google search is not some boon to humanity. randomly creating some super contrast picture is fun for five minutes. got an english degree so I know how to use a semicolon and what grammar is. is that AI is for? is that what we gave up affordable computers for? helping idiots pretend their smart? the ones who can’t draw? the ones who can’t google shit? the ones who think writing is a chore? fascinating. the meek, or the idiot, shall inherit the computer earth
>>732316052>got an english degree so I know how to use a semicolon and what grammar is.>helping idiots pretend their smart?>got an english degree>their10/10 made me reply
>>732315802it is a bubble but it could still be there for 2 more years, which is insane amount of time.the other worse scenario is (and most likely) is that the powers that be want gen AI to succeed no matter what and will continue to pump it over the finish line to perma-solidify their control and it will be too big to fail and will bail out any company that implodes in a bubble
>>732314962pc parts sky rocketing in price did NOT change the fact that they didn't reveal the price day 1.steam machine was never going to be priced like a console.
>>732316251literally every smart person knows chan is where smart people pretend to be retarded. and if you don’t, you’re not smart, you’re retarded
