>9 days wage is too much for peopleShould've gotten educated I guess
>>741639680>Who is this even forJust the valve paypigs at this point.Valve are delusional if that's a real price
>>741639839the PS5 looks like a steal
>>741639680>Who is this even forbraindead pcfags such as >>741640108
>>741640108Nice try, faggot, I may make a measley six figures a year and I can afford this, but I'll not be buying it because I'm not a fucktard niggerbrained monkey that wastes resources. I know the actual value of fiat and this ain't it, chief. I have my rig and it cost a hell of a lot less than this half-ass PC console. People who have PCs already don't need it and people that do not have a PC are better off buying a fucking pre boxed PC over this turd. Fuck you, baiting kike.
>>741639680The existence of a 512GB version confuses me

>>741640763Idiot>>741640790Buy a turd then, just be sure to pay a few grand to make sure all the non-turd owners jealous of your turd. Retard.
>>741640881valve don't know how to make games anymore, they lost the technology and skill set
>>741640335How much is online per year?
>>741639680Just put SteamOS on a PS5 at this point.
>>741640108>only makes $1400 in almost two weeks >thinks this is something to brag aboutThirdie or underage?
>>741640108See>Yeah this is retarded. I have a pc, switch 2, and ps5. Why would I buy this? I could upgrade my 4070 super instead. Shame because I would buy it for a reasonable price.The reason I am not poor is 1) I make good money 2) most importantly, I don't waste it and get ripped off
>>741641032Irrelevant. Please tell me how much your gamepass and WoW subscription costs.
>>741639680might as well just make a pc
>>741639680my GPU alone almost costs $1400
>>741639680>>741639839awful value for money
>>741639680It's hilarious how, when this was announced, people were saying that "if it's priced at 700 it'll be DoA". Reality was twice that.
>>741639680>Who is this even fortech youtubers crying about windowsgnu+linuc transexualsRedditors getting upvotes from posting a photo of it running a nintendo rom start screen.
>>741639680/v/ can you confirm if this is real? It appears fake
>>741639680Can this even run UE5 slop like Indiana Jones?
>>741640692It's great, you can install two games at once
>>741641486even without the RAM crisis this hunk of garbage would've still been around $750.It is objectively terrible value. You could build a PC with far better specs for the same money today.It'll still sell out because of fanboys, pure and simple.

>>741640108The price can easily double when importing to third world shitholes.
>>741639680thanks a fucking ai fags for ruining everything
>>741641657Welp this hardware is DOA.
>>741640108People here were complaining the Switch 2 was too expensive lol
>>7416411309 days wage considering the pay is minimum. Most people are making more than 15 an hour.
>>741639839Can this even run that mandatory rtx slop like Indiana Jones?
>>741642035maybe at upscaled 720 with meme frames
>>741641653You could, I could, but most people can't even find a file explorer anymore.
You might as well buy a prebuilt for that price.
I can’t believe /ourguy/ fucked us over so fucking hardValve were positioned to destroy and kill Snoy and Xbox once and for all, and sit comfortably alongside Nintendo as the King and Queen of gaming, the only two left standingbut nooooo, Flumpft just had to go all fucking in on AI and a stupid fucking two week special operation to open the strait…this shit would have costed $399 max if this retarded shit didn’t happen, I am absolutely devastated, this was our moment…
>>741642245Just don't buy it. Why do you want console players invading the pc space anyway?
>>741639680People with jobs I guess?
what the fuck is the point of this shit anywayjust run a cable to your fucking TV from your $5000 battle nig
>>741642245>this shit would have costed $399 maxpeak delusion
>Bu bu but Nintendo is the greedy one!
>>741639839Are those laptop components? I swear a Pc that costs around that price outclasses the Steam cube.
I know the price is cataclysmic but people are leaving out the form factor. This is a computer you can throw in a carry-on or heft with one hand. That does have niche value. What's the most equivalent value laptop you could get?I know you can just build a rig for a better price/performance ratio but even if you go with a Micro ITX you're going to struggle to match this thing's size. I just don't think the size is near enough of a selling point though.
>>741642576>gf's face when he brings out the HDMI cable

>puts Half Life 3 on as bundled exclusive >thing sells out in seconds>continues to sell out every re-stock>Steam Machine sells more units than every console combined Gabe you fucking idiot, you had one job

>>741639680>>741639839And to think there will be retards who will gladly give Valve money for this outdated piece of shit hardware just because it is made by Valve
>>741643095People with disposable income can afford a real gaming pc and already have one.

>Noo everything went up yoy can't get anything for cheaper than the steam machine please buy it Gabe needs another megayacht!!!Similar CPUBetter GPUMore RAMMore StorageBetter wifiFor $50 cheaper. This doesn't rven account for black friday sales and the like, of which Steam doesn't do.
>>741639839it's a low end mobile GPU from 3.5 years ago.
>>741639680You can buy a Switch 2 that comes with either Pokopia, Mario Kart, or Donkey Kong AND a PS5 and still have $400 to buy games and shit. Actually retarded.
>>741643950>assembling a box of legos is cheaper than engineering your own productWoah

Steamfags are genuine cultists

>>74164442767% of people owned their homes throughout history. Where is your home?
>>741644607>who is supposed to buy this?Valve cultists. Watch it sell out in seconds btw, just like the price hiked steam decks.
>>741644673>why does a selling point matter?Believe it or not, normal people don't want a loud ass windows midtower in their living room.
>>741643417You most likely can't even play wuwa on this crap, what the fuck was Gabe thinking?
>>741644752But can you?
>>741644340And that is market price. You can swap the parts on the long run like the CPU or the GPU unlike the Gabecube.
>>741645000How is a loud ass cube any different?
>>741645030He was thinking years ago before AI. His thoughts no longer align with reality, but he can't cancel it.
>>741639680>>741639839bongland prices means you could build the same specced machine for around £650 in a matx case.you are essentially paying $280 for the smaller form factor.
>>741645092Valve is bad at negotiating.
>>741644607Based as fuck patrician gamers.Sorry you're just an ignorant weakling, or maybe a poorfag? Enjoy your taco bell while I'm on my Gabecube playing any game I want.
>>741644958Selling out means nothing. There's no stock so it gets "sold out." It's bullshit.
Apparently these are the closest real world equivalents
why are they still launching this right now. why not wait.
>>741645000My pc that I bought 2 years ago is like 10 times better than the steam machine (64GB ddr5 ram, 4070 super, b850m, plus gold psu, and it makes 0 noise, that was about 1400€ then, you must be deranged to purchase this shit for that amount.
>>741645229>Based as fuck patrician gamers.but i already have a PC that's a lot stronger than this
>>741645297Wait and let the parts they already got get even worse and more depreciated in value? Nah man, this is basically just cutting their losses because AI fucked up everything. They say as much in the press release, that they set all this up in 2023 not realizing AIfags were going to destroy the price of everything.
>>741645323How much would it cost you to build the same PC today?
>>741645297I have to imagine its a logistics thing where the machines have already been made and having them sit in a warehouse somewhere for a long time is even worse, its a bad situation all around, I feel even worse for the Steam Frame since VR needs all the help it can get
Yeah this is DOA im sure redditors will buy it but at the very least the Steam Deck had a niche this has none
Did the big corporation really fucked everyone so bad? the original price apparently was 600-700. how the hell did they added 400. have the prices REALLY gotten that much bigger?>>741645297Supposedly the prices will only get worse with time
>>741639680>Who is this even forPeople who want a gaymen PC but are too stupid to build one themselves, I guess?Feels like all their plans for this went up in smoke due to the RAMpocalypse, so they're just sending it out to die.
>>741639680Its like you don't want Gabe to get another Yacht. He's suffering from the economic downturn, he had to resort to buying... a mansion ;_;
>>741645296That comparison is shit. The Gabecube is using one of the worst DDR5 RAM, a M.2 2230, and a laptop version of a CPU.
>>741645297It's a combination of "fuck it, we already have a bunch of the components" + the possibility of AI-related components not coming down in price for another 4-5 years, so if they waited out those 4-5 years then all the other components might be outdated.
>>741639680>>741639839absolutely buttfucked by dram and storage price spikes. its around 600 USD just for ram and 2tb of storage. thats not counting anything else in the system at all. AI is destroying the console and PC market.
>>7416453230 noise is not possible unless it's literally a fanless build. Also 2 years ago is a big factor into why its better.
Retarded price It's fucking weaker than a 2070 super
>>741645584plus the US dollar is getting more worthless by the day. everyone needs to adjust pricing expectations accordingly. USD slowly turning into japanese yen
>>741645373Yeah same here. The 'Cube is strictly going in my livingroom for when guests come over.
>>741645431>oy vey! think of our jewish tricksI don't care, if you purchase this crap you are retarded and a fucking goylem.
>>741645476Buddy, it's never BEEN more over for PC prices.
>>7416401083 months actually :)
>>741645674A huge ammount of people on steam are still on 1660's
>>741645476>have the prices REALLY gotten that much bigger?yes.where have you been ?RAM and NVME's are 2 / 3x the price they used to be before AI companies colluded to buy everything.
>>741645584it's not just consoles, ANYTHING that use components is getting fucked, all for a bunch of useless crap pushed by super wealthy people which I don't think will bring any good to the world beside a very few niche things, I hate how things are going. I wish technology had being restricted in the late 2010s.
>>741645726Ok sure but that's irrelevant, prices have more than doubled on half of PC items in the last two years. Your computer is no longer a 1400 pound PC. It's probably closer to 2k today.
>>741639680>STEAM MACHINE $1400 WITH CONTROLLER>Who is this even forme. I enjoy gaming on my couch and a small PC like this is perfect for that>just get a PS5/Switch 2I already have over 800 games on Steam.

You can buy a 9070xt with a ddr4 build and it's miles better than this and cheaper, the difference for gaming in ddr4/ddr5 ram is nelligible, steamfags are literal cattle
>>741645798And what are they playing ?
I'm thinking of getting one for my kid. I like steamOS and the steam parental controls. It's powerful enough to play everything worth playing.
>>741641260>gamepass>after they raised the price from $1lmao>WoW subscription>in 2026lmao
>>741645296They are using market prices. Valve is supposed to get those component at cheaper costs.
>>741645902It's actually 1k but memory prices are so bad the 2TB SSD tacks on another 250 buckaroos.
>>741644547>valve is PC gamingstupid nigger.
OH NO NO NO NO NO
So no release HL3?Well, can't say I am disappointed but still.
>>741639680The 2TB is the same price as my 9070XT, ryzen 7 9700X with 32 gb RAM and 2TB ITX I built last year. I think my PC is multiple times more powerful and only 4 or 5 litres bigger, what a colossal fuckup in timing.
>>741646036cyberpunk is the greatest gift to nvidia ever
On one side it's too much compared to things from a few years ago, on the other I understand because prices have gotten so big they probably did not have any choices. They must really have being caught off guard.For modern games it probably will be restricted to medium graphics unless there's special version of games for it. for old games it's probably pretty good though.
>>741646036At what resolution is that? 1080p?
>>741639680This is not for the PC enthusiast, who already has a high powered PC at home.This is for people who want a third option against PS and Xbox that also doubles as a PC. When you go to costco and see prebuilts for 1400, then the 1000 dollars looks very appealing. Still inflated but blame AI for that.
>>741645907>miles betterYes!>and cheaperNo! Holy fuck dude if you can even find a 9070xt they're going for 700-800 dollars currently. You're going to be spending a minimum of 1500 dollars if you're doing a 9070 build and don't want to bottleneck it immediately. DDR4 doesn't even save you very much over biting the bullet and going with DDR5 now. And you should NOT be buying the el cheapo 9070's btw.
>>741646021That was probably what they were planning on, but currently no one is selling at market price and valve stated in their newsletter they legit could not source some parts because companies were not selling them at ANY price because they'd already had 2-3 years of stocks bought out at 3x valuation by AI companies. You are blaming Valve because Elon Musk and Peter Thiel fucked the world electronics market.
>>741645297For RAM to double in price again?
>Valve has to buy RAM off hands the moment its in stock because all contracts are bookedAren't there any big buyers that actually matter that suffer from this as well as consumers?Like essential productions, tech manufacturers, government institutions, labs, universities, cloud infrastructures, etc? How come none of them speak up about the shortage and try to take it higher than an average joe could to save their own asses?
>>741646036AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ai boom utterly RAPED these niggas at the worst time possible LMAO
>>741646021During thr gamersnexus video, they mention there are no contract prices. They say "you can get them at this price, take it or leave it" and they hear nothing back if they say no.
>>741639839the storage and ram make up %70 of of the price. lollmao even
>>741646348Government is basically being run by techbro cartels atm and Trump is actively trying to make it illegal for any States to pass laws restricting AI datacenters so people are complaining but the feds and government is ran by 80 year olds who do insider trading for hundreds of millions of dollars so they don't actually care.
>>741646348Because the governments are pushing for this by giving free reign to the companies buying everything for reasons I cannot understand.The few who complained pretty much got ignored.
>>741646175I got a powercolor one this winter for 499€ (tax deducted) and there are still some on stock for like 50€ more than it was then, if you already have a pc with ddr4 ram you can literally use that ram and upgrade only the gpu and cpu, you can and even buying everything from scratch you can have a 9070xt pc for around 1400€ for sure.
>>741646174its not for anyone, if you were willing to spend well over 1k on a gaming machine you would already own a gaming pc
>>741646348Every one of those is either bought out by techbro bribes or doesn't actually have any power to influenceYou will own nothing and like it
Its an alternative means of accessing your Steam library and that's it. >>741640335PS5 is shit but its not bad if you're a casual consumer. Pretty much everything normie adjacent winds up on their market and they do very frequent sales that drop prices low.>>741642245Why are trannies still pushing this narrative, tendies tried it with the Deck as well. You don't need either to use Steam. Is it just some kind of weird psyop?
anything you can play on the steam machine you can play on the steam deck so whats the point of it?
>>741639839>cant run gta6whats the point
>>741646348>Why gubmint just not implement price capsLmao. The average /v/tard is so fucking stupid.
>>741646426Dude, that is fucking unplayable.Steamfags are getting scammed lmao.Can't even get 30fps at 1080p
>>741640692What more do you need? It's not like this shit can run actual new releases that are 100g+ kek
>>741639680At that price, you may as well spend 2k and build a real PC. Not to mention it will be scalped and the real price will be 2x for half a year.
>>741646486>Resons I cannot understandPolice states. Thats it. They want powerful ai to monitor people down to milliseconds. Luckily a lot of states are against it, which is why ai is about to pop huge.
>>741646497That's a very good price, but still comes out to 570 USD which is more than half the price of a Steamdeck even still and you're tacking on a 400 dollar CPU and 200 dollar Mobo before you even touch RAM and memory to actually make use of your card, then the memory and RAM combined is going to cost you at least 600 there if you want to meat or beat the 1300 2TB steamdeck. 1400 Euros is 1600 USD. You must be getting much better prices than the US to be able to make it out with 1400 Euros/1600 USD. My PC I bought before the price hike was 1800 USD before taxes and only because I got a combo deal from Microcenter. Trying to buy now would raise this well over 2k USD/1.7k Euro
I wonder how the next generation of consoles will be. the current is probably safe enough due to many units already being built. but the next ones is going to get fucked like that too.We might enter an era where buying ANY hardware will be more expensive than ever. All due to a few companies (who probably will then try to sell false solutions to a problem THEY made).People says Nostalgia is a lie but here, nostalgia is the truth. WE HAD IT. WE HAD THE BEST WE COULD. AND WE LOST IT...
>>741646036>>741646426>>741646678The guy is just making shit up because he hates Steam. Steam Machine can play any game with good frame rates. Nothing more than a discord tranny trying to discredit literally anything Steam does because they wouldn't publish their CP anime sex game.
>>7416467411k to 2k is a huge leap for a normie that buys this for performance they don't care about.
>tfw bought 9800x3d for $500, rtx 5080 for $1199, 32gb 6000 ram for $99thank god my impatience at the time beat my stinginess. it is no longer better to wait
My guess is Valve was hit with a cost sunk fallacy situation once prices for everything started exploding. I was never interested in it because I don't fuck with prebuilts and I have a good PC, but it does make me a bit worried about what the Frame will cost. I'll be able to afford it regardless, but having to deal with the lotto draw to actually get one is awful.
My entire rtx 5070 and 7500f pc with 32gb ddr5 was cheaper than this by a mile. Granted i bought the cpu and ram in 2024.
>>741646817>A RX 9070 XT.That's straight up violating the tardcube.You can literally get better performance than it with some APUs, you don't even need high spec ram either.
>>741646867>gamersnexus "hates steam" now, apparentlygiga-cope
>>741646787Considering how the world is moving. it's probably only a matter of time for most first world countries. some might be less worse than others but everyone will get in this crap eventually unless there's some big changes.What a terrible future... It will make all the dystopia movie look silly if the worst case scenario happen.

>>741646963Hyper-cope, you can tell Steve was too uncomfortable to call out the 1 or 2 sticks of ram thing with the valve devs on that call.
Kind of convinced myself I was going to buy this regardless just to have something connected to my TV but I literally bought a new Les Paul yesterday so I'll skip.
>>741639680>Flop after flop after flopValve is just a store front now with CS 2 and Controller being decent
And the best part? with how things are going, prices probably will increase again soon enough... I HATE BIG CORPORATIONS
>>741647209Yeah that part was wild to me, fucking single channel DDR5 "doesn't affect gaming performance" is complete horseshit. You can tell that Steve knew this and bit his tongue from a rebuttal
>>741646821Unironically China will save us. Their government is hyper obsessed with keeping prices relatively stable and affordable and Chinese GPUs and RAM and memory will come out in the next 3-5 years on par with Western stuff.And then the West will probably try to ban them to protect their monopolies like they did with Chinese EVs lol>>741647083Those are current updated prices as seen on pcpartpicker, not what I paid. The liquid cooler actually went down in price and the case went up. PSU stayed about the same. I just never updated da-list but with taxes n shit it came out to about 1800 anyways. And that's an absurdly good deal for a 9800x3d so I'm not even certain what you're complaining about. I got it for $100 cheaper than what it was going for at the time buying a Microcenter bundle that also discounted the MOBO about 50 bucks too.
>>741647328you probably can't even buy it. supply is so low valve is using some raffle system for the chance to buy one
>>741647182Got some spare memory in your nose to spare?
>>741647379Aren't Chinese cars allowed in Europe? I think only the US are banning them. so Chinese cards probably will be available at least in some part of the west

>1400 bucks>no controller>no gta6LMAO
Most of my life is composed of utterly stupid moves and choices but buying a good machine at just the right time was one of my best ones. Jesus.And things are only getting worse. And if the corporations who buy everything fails, it will do a shitshow of a scale that have never being seeing. The future is dim.

>>741646817This in spain, an entire pc with a 9070xt, 32gb ddr4, 5700 cpu, it's miles better than the steam scam, I've put this together in 2 minutes by the way not even looking for the best prices.

Most people screaming ITT about building a better machine are not the target market. This King here >>741645950 is closer to who Valve are after.
>>741647992How would you install an emulator on a ps5?
>>741639680How much would this have cost if not for RAM prices fucking everyone?
>>741647902no because browns are the ones spending money on retarded shit, if you are white you are intellectually brown
>>7416401081 day would be much for waste
Have you thanked ai yet for ballooning hardware costs?
>>741647379nvm, I thought you were comparing it to the steamdeck to claim building a PC was too expensive
>>741639839>Laptop CPU>Laptop SSD>Cl46 ramThat is awful for that price.
>>741648032they do, valve made a single channel RAM console.
>>741648081No, they are already dead
>>741642972Yes, they're using leftovers laptop parts
>going from 512gb to 2tb is a $300 increasei genuinely hate how expensive ssd storage is now. we were doing so well too, i bought my 2tb ssd for like $200 a few years ago and i remember thinking i'd see a 4tb for that price in a few years

>>741640108>Overpaying is great because I canPoor mans mind set
>>741648239my 2tb nvme was 100 dollars last year.
I have a top pc, ps5, switch 2, and I would buy this for 600 max.
>>741648201Nice cope stemie
>had a RAM death scare recently that was just some poor seating stick coming loose.
>>741647902Cool dude you can buy 600 of these things and have absolutely nothing to show for it except a garage full of Xboxes. It's an investment and you should do it
man i was hyped now im big sadge. valve flunked this ngl
>>741648259>1049 box can play every single game before 2023Yeah?
I wonder if this shortage of powerful components could lead to future games to go back to less technologically costing games. basically a "forced downgrade"You can't really have a lot of sales if the base hardware cost 5 times more than it should.
>>741639680Modern gayming is now a hobby for rich people. Like golfing, or sport fishing with your own boat.Regular people will go back to emulation and retro games.Poorfags will stay with mobile gacha shit.
>>741639680Steamies lost and got raped... again!
>everyone is so focused on the price>no one is asking if gta 6 will run anti-cheat on the kernel that prevents the steam machine from playing it>"b-but you can also run windows on it"which defeats the point of buying this thing. you're not getting it because it's a PC, you're buying it because it mimics a console
meanwhile the planet is getting hotter every year
So is this piece of shit less powerful than XSeX or what?
>>741645000PS5 and it's Kaiba coat already disprove that
>>741648239as other anons have said.I bought my 2TB SSD for $100 a few years ago and thought i was still overpaying just to sell if for $200 a few weeks ago.it's pretty insane. my pc has actually increased in value since 2021.
if this continues, people will soon start to go to scrapyard to salvage thrown away computers as an only way to get cheap parts, like homeless people do with food...It's weird how hardware are getting more and more harder to get (even to corporations like Valve) while all governments want everything to be digital, which REQUIRE hardwares
>>741648141700-800. For the specs it cannot compete with PS5. Top spec SD costs the same amount but since the price increased on those units you are now stuck with this
>>741648391nothing they could do, ai did this
>>741648437I'll just play on my switch 2
>>741639839is the gpu amd? if yes super DOA
>>741648464>playing GTA 6 on that abomination
>>741645124No you can't. 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 512GB NVME drive are almost £300 by themselves. No way can you get the rest for £350.
>>741648239HDDs got fucked too.I had both of my 14TBs die recently and had to resort to buying a 6TB one for data recovery from one of them... For a higher drive price than either one of them was 3 years ago.
>>741648632njeetia can't be trusted with their linux drivers
>>741639680is Valve breaking even on steam machines?
>>741648632is navi is amd
>>741648380I’ve started turning my PC off when I go to work just to extend its lifespan. I’m fucked if anything significant breaks anytime soon.
>>741648742If their RAM statement is anything to go buy they might actually be going for a loss due to not having any contracts.
>>741645000>loud ass windows midtowerMaybe get a less shit pc. My pc hardly makes a sound
>>741648380check your memory. the corsair kit I bought in 2019 is lifetime warranty.
I remember telling everybody that this crap will cost a fortune, most likely 1k USD or more.The whole thread was laughing at me and claimed it would NEVER EVER cost more than 600 USD, because (I quote) "it needs to compete with consoles".That was eight months ago.
>>741648589i'd rather they hold back the pricing until way later. This price release is pretty much DOA. Im valve diehard and im not seeing myself spending that much for base PS5 hardware
>>741639680Called it. Why couldn't they just make a cheaper controller for this though? Treat the steam controller as the premium model?
>>741639839>RAM isn’t even on dual channelfuck this trash
>>741648898Congratulations, Valve is retarded. We’re terribly proud of you.
>>741648898eight months ago it didnt cost 1k, the RAM and SSD prices ramped in that time.
>costs more than a gaming pc????
>>741649001this isn't much Valve fault here, if prices are literally too high they HAVE to have prices this high.
>>741649005where is deltatroon
>>741648585>It's weird how hardware are getting more and more harder to get (even to corporations like Valve) while all governments want everything to be digital, which REQUIRE hardwaresits not that weird.its just that the handful of companies who are literally the only ones that can make the technology on the entire planet all realised its way more profitable to just rent shit out instead of selling it.
>>741649092they could have subsidized it by buying two less yachts
>>741639680again, why steam console over pic related?
>>741649161Gaben barely has control of Valve anymore, it's not the company who buy that
>>741649139I'd the Nvidia cloud gaming even good?
>>741649161they're cutting bait and moving on. even at subsidized prices this shitbox isn't all that compelling, based on specs.much rather valve subsidize a compelling product
>>741648653knowck £100 off the GPU since you can buy it for £200 secondhand, cheaper cases also exist.yes you can, unlike you i don't just spout random made up bullshit.
>>741639680FUCKING DOA. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You can build a 9070xt pc or at least a 5070 pc for that price.
>>741649236no but if you have no choice it's not like you can do anything other than not play video games.until even office pc's require a subscription.
>>741645769Thirdie opinions dont matter. Even if youre making 15 an hour it would take 12 days.
Oh no no no, even snoy is owning the steam machine....
>>741639680>>741639839This thing sucks ass. Will people stop glazing Valve and sucking Gabe's balls now?
>>741647719$6 bucks an hourLmao
>>741649323cube is DDR5
>>741649717Yes, a fucking single channel stick of ddr5, that way worse than a dual channel setup if ddr4 by the way.
>>741649323That's using a Zen 3 processor and DDR4. I admit I was wrong, you can do it even using DDR5 and a Zen 4 processor, albeit with the cheapest shittiest case and PSU.
>>741649717it's also non-upgradeable, has a weaker GPU than the RX7600 and my point was that you could make a comparable machine for significantly less money and that what you are paying for is a small form factor and pre-installed OS over anything else.
>>741647096Thats' right, because Valvebros stand for truth and purity of spirit. We hold ourselves to higher standards than console drones. We immediately and overwhelmingly defend Valve against every attack, big or small. That's why people like you have been unsuccessful.If Valve ever goes astray, we will eb the first ones to call it out. If Valve does not course correct, we will leave. That's not a cult.
>>741648932When later? All PC hardware is fucked. I've been trying to spec some servers for upgrades at work and literally every other month is another 10-20% price bump over previous quotes.
>>741649854>>741649801the "cheaper custom build" has always been a meme, since you're buying junk yard parts to meet a price goal.It's always been better to pay more for a slightly better custom that will actually last.
over a grand to run mid settings at 30 fps. without a fucking controller. absolute madness. simpsons homer-mobile type shit
>>741644340I would swap the SSD for a 4.0 but yeah the Steam Cube is a piece of overpriced trash, more so with current comoponent prices.
I don't think people realize how bad AI has made the PC market. Owning a higher end or newer PC/console is becoming a luxury item. But then I laugh at HD space too, games are 100GB minimum now. So you get a maximum of like 8-10 AAA games. I don't even want to think about GTA 6, it's gonna be 300GB or higher.
Shitux sisters ....
>>741640583>this mad>spells "measly" wrongjust put the fries in the bag and talk to the watch brokie
>>741649625And this is with FSR Ultra quality smear and framegen up the ass btw.
>>741650078>higher-end PCs used to cost $2000>now they're fucking $5000>who can afford that?!?You people are so stupid.
>>741644340Here is mine. In some games, mine is DOUBLE the performance of the Steam machine. In 4 years the Steam Machine is trash, the performance is already borderline trash. I could add another stick of 16GB, upgrade the processor, and GPU and it would last 10.
What that anon's, can't afford the steam machine I simply wouldn't be poor I couldn't imagine such woes.
>>741639839>16GB RAM>1400€Yeah...it's over.
>>741639680I seriously thought this was going to be 350 bongs when they announced it. a 1080p 30fps gaming machine in 2026 costing over 1k is fucking mental.
>>741650654that mentality is how I know you're poor>t. know actual millionaires and they are the cheapest people alive.
>>741650545>radeon card aaaaaaahhaha
>>741650931What's up with this weird cope, they just don't share with your peasant class
>>741650545This thing has like 4 times the performance of the gabe cube.>>741651056The steam scam has a radeon card too retard
>>741647939You are an actual lobotomite. I do not want or need a steam box. You can buy it though, you seem stupid enough for it.
>>741640583Irrefutable
>>741651639Ok but that doesn't answer the question
>>741651775No question mark, no response. You missed your shot, now suck my dick. You lost.
>>741643039yeah, paying an extra $500 for these:>compact form factor >plug n' play>Steam library at 1440p medium or 1080p high
I dont understand why they let hype build this entire time when they knew it would be too expensive. Just tell people months ago that it was going to be close to 1k and they would have stopped caring then.
Is it more powerful than the deck?
>>741650002when the ai bubble burst, just like the dotcom era. I know it will. AI is not the saving grace and companies are losing billions chasing the trend.
>>741641915>peopleretarded snoyggers.
>>741651892a $500 retard tax, at this point who can deny valve isn't the apple of gaming
i cant fathom anyone even getting mad or caring about this thing.if you're pc gaming you probably have a better pc already, unless you're from a brown country that is
>>741652183I don't have gaming at all in the living room currently. So that's why. And no I'm not going to get a faggot ass nigger console
>>741639680valve probably just wants to get some of the money they invested into this shit back and then they're gonna cut any further production since it's pointless to sell these things at this price
>>741640108>HAHAH you're too poor to buy this underpowered machine my fucking sides, we really are at this point with steam shills
>>741639680>Who is this even fortrannies apparently
I will buy Xbox Helix insteador its stronger SKU from Asus
>>741652268Spending 1050+ dollars on something you can just stream to is crazy.
>>741639839>8gb >in 2026

>8 gb vram
>>741645735O hey, I bought that one.Prolly an overkill for my refurb laptop, but fuck it. Peace of mind and all that jazz.t. still does paperwork on old laptop lmao
>>741641936most people also pay taxes, anon you are getting like half of that
>>741651892More like a 300 dollar tax, some of those prices are kind of locked in and you CAN'T do better. You are only really beating the Steam Machine on prices for the GPU and CPU.
>>741652613That would take up the use of my PC anon. The steam machine is a separate product. 1500 is fine
>>741653054its way too weak unless you ONLY play old PC games
>>741653150That is just not true my man. There are benchmarks if you want to see them. It will be just fine with even new games that I will be using it for.
>>741653150"old" as in anything that isn't AAA slop garbage. You can play RE4 remastered at 1080p/60fps which is FINE. Good even. And it'll run anything before 2016 easy. You only really have issues with CPU heavy games in a practical sense because I don't think anyone buying a Steam Machine is going to be buying it to play Battlefield 11 or the latest UE5 unoptimized sloppa
>>741653362nah
>>741653363>1080p>goodnot on a 4K TV nah>before 2016old>60fpsmeh
>>741645735GOD DAMN the price of memory is retarded, I got this SK hynix just last year for $90 and now even the 500gb is over 200. Will this ever end or is this the price or components forever

>>741643097>spent their "games once in a blue moon" budget on deadlock lol, lmao even
>>741653790There comes a point when it's all these companies colluding together to keep prices high. Prices are not going to go down unless China steps in. That's why Valve is releasing the Steam Machine. Prices are not going to get better.
>>741639680I'll take 6
@741640108Bait.>>741639680Just like the Deck, it's a way to ease normalfags into PC games, for better or worse. Maybe also for dudes who want a lazy "console-like" game experience on their couches, I guess.The RAMpocalypse makes it look worse than it is, but it's not THAT bad of a deal so long as the quality control is good and there's no surprises like thermal issues or whatever.I think most people forget that computer shit is expensive these days, even SD cards can easily run $200 alone (T^T)I was looking around for mini PCs to possibly buy for a family member, and the ones that used to cost $100 are now up in like $300-400 and that's AFTER they gut out half the RAM.Even basic-ass Chromebooks are often teasing $400 for some reason (though that happened long before AI, because ???)Really the only way to compete in price is either to build one yourself or buy a prebuilt from a chink-tier company.Emphasis on the build "yourself" part, since I've seen normalfags spend half the cost of the PC just to have a system pre-assembled without even blinking.Obviously though, I'm not buying one and never will unless my current PC suddenly shits the bed and I decide I'm too lazy to build a new one.>>741648898It probably would've cost $600 (for the base model) 8 months ago, nigga.BRB, buying an $80 Gamecube, and Pokemon Ultra Moon for $40.
>>741653928just wait until current non-AI contracts expire if no one does anything to regulate the supply.Thats where the actual economical collapse will happen once shit like medical equipment or CNC machines becomes impossible to make.
HL3 when
I get that building a computer isn't the same thing but come on. This shit is sooo over priced.
>>741653928It's already collapsed if you don't have "AI" in your name. We're living in worse times than the Great Depression and are only shielded from it being acknowledged because of Government -> corporation -> government money laundering.Arguably, this is how most civilization has been since the dawn of time, so we may just be returning to the norm of everyone who isn't in the royal court of about 100 living like the starving slaves they are.
>>741640108Not accounting for driving back and forth to/from work. Oil is a rip off at this current stage of capitalism.
>>741653763Who the fuck has a 4k TV? You're talking about less than 4% of the US population and Steam is global.I don't think people realize that the Steam Machine is literally better than the hardware a majority of Steam users have. It was designed to be an affordable upgrade to the average Steam user. Then Sam Altman happened.
>>741654565>Who the fuck has a 4k TV?everyone? cheap ones (not OLEDs) have cost peanuts for yearseven B/C-series LG OLEDs arent that much

>>741639680This is who its for you idiots. The 67% of gamers who still play mostly old ass games.
>>741640692It was likely going to be 1TB 32GB for the base model before the price hike on memory and storage.
>>741657681but old pcs play old games. why spend over 1000 to play the old games they can already play, if im spending that much i may as well get something that can play old games and new games.

They can't sell it below its price point, because it's not a console. It's a Steam OS PC. If it dips below its own value the Chinese will just buy them all and turn them into work servers for AI without buying a single Steam game.I'm not saying I know who the damn thing is for, but they're kind of fucked with the RAM prices and what their product actually is. I would say sell it at a loss to real humans with Steam accounts older than a year (like a level 9+ Steam account) at a loss. People who actually play their fucking games.Or sell it to brand new accounts and throw in like $200 steam store credit so they can get some games if they don't have them already. I really don't know what the answer is to this mess.
>>741652183there was a fairly large and specific demographic of gamers that have seen hardware failures and computer parts wear down over the last year or so who decided to hold off for this thing cuz it was promised to be affordable and they only play games made before 2016 anyway, if your computer is in good condition and built since 2020 you most likely have no idea how fucked the market is, and the market being so fucked is why a lot of people were holding out hope and ergo are now so upsetits like a weird form of justified sour grapes
>hardware lotteryJust buy a prebuilt.
>>741658834>They can't sell it below its price point, because it's not a console. It's a Steam OS PC. If it dips below its own value the Chinese will just buy them all and turn them into work servers for AI without buying a single Steam game.this is probably a much larger factor than a lot of people realize, based on the fact every graph is putting it next to xbox and gaystation instead of contemporary pre built PCs
>Switch 2 is cheaper than a steam deck>PS5 is cheaper than a steam machineLiterally who is going to buy this when you can just build your own PC? At the end of the day price is the most important thing for hardware sales.
>>741659052yeah no point buying this for that price if you already have a pc. You can get a top end gpu instead.
>>741657681>buy brand new console to play old games?????????????
>>741658014you are a retard
we are the "drop the price!" niggers now?fucking hypocrites.
>>741658501Based.
>>741659443i accept your concession.
Is this the reception HL3 would have if it were released today?
>>741640108>9 days wageYou make less than 30 bucks an hour? lmao
>>741642096To be fair, Windows 11 doesn't make it easy on normies. Have you seen that shitshow of an OS?
>>741653362>. There are benchmarks if you want to see them. these? >>741646036
>>741643417how comes lucy gets to have 32 sticks of ram but not valve
>>741659485they are running damage control acting like paying 15000 bucks for a decide for indieshit is fine
>>741660098meant 1500, fuck
>>741644231And I guess we are expected to shoulder some of that engineering cost? No thanks.
pay up, valvepiggies
Switch 2 at $500 looks like a steal over $1400 (controller not included) for a Steambox
How?
>>741660334Consider that buying neither overpriced lump of garbage is an option.
>>741660260If valve really wanted to sell some units they could give away steam credit with the purchase of the steam box but they know it's dead on arrival. Getting rid of the current stock is probably the only goal here.
>>741660491Half a grand for a powerful handheld that can play games better than the Rog Ally/Steam Deck which are more expensive sounds decently priced to me.
>>741643545But it matters immensely on Ryzen iGPU.It's even single channel, seriously what the fuck.
>>741639680>500GB drive>not even big enough to install ARKabsolute fucking joke in 2026I have hard drives from 2005 that are bigger than this
>>741639680>>741639839That's a joke, isn't it?
>>741645529>People who want a gaymen PC but are too stupid to build one themselves, I guess?Even with that being the case you can buy a better system.
>>741639839What the fuck? Do they realize the Xbox and PS5 run better for this for exactly 1000 dollars less? Only a 50 IQ black african nigger would come up with this.
>>741640108Reminder only brown retards brag about buying expensive frivolities.
>>741645529Even a garbage pre-built from 2021 has better specs retard
>>741639680Thank god big G isn't taking a hit. He better be able to buy his 200th yacht with this one.
I bet Valve will stop caring about Linux since no one will buy their hardware now.
Niggas crying about the price when they were just championing AI. It's not so fun when it comes for your hobbies now, is it?
>>741656943wow my penis is hard I'll buy it now

>>741661576My hobby has been fucked since Gamergate, so
>>741642120Is an extra 5 or 600 dollars really a deal breaker at this point? If you're going pre built save some more and go balls deep.
>>741646426grim
It's literally fairly priced you retarded niggers
is gabe jewish? just asking for no reason
5d chess: they're leveraging their market. steam is the biggest on the market, everyone wants to be on steam, and devs will want their game on the steam machine. they will now be incentivized to develop games that have graphics that conform to the specs.??
>>741649631They already are and nothing will change that
>>741662587good steamgoy
>>741662624>they're leveraging their market.market share*
>>741639839
>steamies are gonna pay 1400 dollarydoos (plus tip) for a shitbox with worse specs than my laptop
>>741639680once again more options is = bad steam machine is doing everyone a favor and telling them to just save for a rig.

>>741653928I went into a Office Depot last week and tech in general has doubled since 2023. It's fucking ridiculous.
>>741639839And it will still sell out 5 minutes after launch
>build a pc near the end of 2021 around a 4070so when do i upgrade?
>>741663492NeverYou will "upgrade" to a terminal that connects to the AI cloud
>>741639839>Single stick ramShould have at least stuck 2x8GBs. What the hell
>>741647902>>741640108>>741647902Ok, but you guys still won't buy the Steam Machine because deep down you know it's not worth the price
>>741658559>4080 since 2022I sold my 1660s, which I bought in 2020, to buy an rx 9060 xt 16gbfuck nvidia

>>741648804>I’ve started turning my PC off when I go to workI only left it on when I wanted to take advantage of an exploit to farm xp afk, in a game like fortnite, or when I wanted to leave something downloading overnight or seedingFor a while now, I’ve stopped liking the idea of making my pc work for things like that, especially with fiberoptic internet, they practically give it away for free to the point where they leave the leftover rolls of cable lying in the street because it’s not worth it for them to keep that excessWhat I do still do is seed while my pc is on, and what I’ve never stopped doing is turning off my pc at nightI don’t know what kind of people like to wear out the lifespan of their main PCs, which aren’t servers or secondary machines, by leaving them on overnight, not to mention the electricity costs.
>>741666373I forgot to mention that the fortnite thing was something I used to do when I was working, rather than doing it at night while I was sleeping
>>741663492Maybe in another two years, or when the new generation of consoles is just getting startedPS5 and Xbox Series have been around for 6 years, so that will likely happen soon
Didn't realize the EUR/USD exchange rate was so volatile that it changed between them writing the prices
>>741662520>$300 more dollars for extra faceplates

>>741647719Damn バカ、your black ass gon' be working at マック or some type shit?
Why does valve cope by saying its prebuilt prices but you can get a prebuilt right now for cheaper and 3-4x more powerful, load it up with the official steamOS image and use it exactly like their console?Are they REALLY trying to make me believe that form factor is worth $800+ dollars?https://www.newegg.com/andromeda-desktop-pc-amd-radeon-rx-9060-xt-amd-ryzen-5-9600x-16gb-ddr5-1tb-nvme-ssd-ubg-rx9060xt8gb-9600x-1tb-16gb-650w-blk-black/p/1VK-02BT-00031Even top of the line 9800X3D+9070XT PC's regularly go on sale for $1800.
