They should have sold this at a loss to get more people on the Steam platform. Now no one is going to buy this shit.
keep seething poorfaggot
>>741655167>sell at a lossThat's what Microsoft and Sony did, and how well did that work out for them?
They can't sell it at a loss as it's a PC, not a console. You can install what you want on it.Really the product should never have left the planning stages.
>>741655167They can't exactly do that when the games are perfectly capable of being played without it. Nintendo could get away with that because they made it up in software sales
>>741655273like shit because no exclusives . which is the only reason to buy a system
It's priced perfectly fine and it's going to sell millions.
>>741655681>it's going to sell millions.I'd be surprised if it outsells even the Deck
>>741655167Let's be honest, we're all still buying this
>>741655167Valve needs to make money on it. They're a business, not a charity.
>>741655167they dont need to entice people to the steam platform if you got a pc you're gonna download steamthey did price themselves out of competing with the console markethonestly this raises more the question of if current gen consoles average $700 and there's expected to be a new console generation how much will that cost?are we gonna see it reach $800+? will there even be a hardware improvement?it's fucked from every angle,
>>741655681idk, ive got my pc four years ago and its more powerful plus has more ram
>>741655681for just slightly more you can get a mini PC that smokes the Machine spec-wise. Machine is not a good value, period.
>>741655167Gaben would never lose a shekel
>>741655167>Have spare cpu and gpuConsidering picking up an ITX board and case and just making my own. I've calculated it to around $600. It's a Ryzen 3600x and a 6700xt
>>741655273>>That's what Microsoft and Sony did, and how well did that work out for them?pretty good for Xbox during gen 7 considering they were basically uncontested until the last few years lol
>>741655681i don't see how valve are selling this to anyone but valve drones. Normalfags see that price, and then find out it's weaker than the ps5? lmao
>>741655167One valve employee salary could subsidize over 2000 steam machines
>>741655167>very niche computer that you need a steam account to purchase>sell at a loss to target normies who aren't on steamyou're not the sharpest crayon in the box, are you?
I think complaining about the price is weird.
>>741655167steam have many steamies, literal fanboys buying anything valve pulls out. they don't plan to dominate the market with it, they just know they can make easy money with it even if it doesn't sell much.
>>741655167i'd gladly pay 1300 if it had double the vram, but at 8 GB you're gonna have to play shit on low settings just to run games at 1080p by 2028. thing is an expensive paperweight
