Why didn't valve buy the hardware they needed before prices went to shit? They announced the steam machine long before that.And when RAM prices went to shit, why didn't they then think to buy the hardware they needed before SSD prices went to shit?
>>741768725are these troons or dykes?
>>741768725Even if they did, it wouldn't make the product any less outdated and ill-conceived.
Valvetime
>>741768725Because they bought from manufacturers, not retailers. The manufacturing was all already bought up and reserved for years to come, a long time before any signs of a price hike to existing retailer stock was detectable.
>>741768725Why didn't (you) buy 100TB of RAM to resell?Nobody knew that RAM prices would go to hell, retard
>>741768797right one is definitely a woman. What troon would dress like a sleazy dude with hair like a punk.This also means left is probably one too
>>741769576Because I wasn't planning on manufacturing and selling a machine with RAM in it, I would if I was
>>741769576actually there isn't a shortage, otherwise it wouldn't be that available in consumer storesthere's just a fake shortage and a price hike to fuck everyone over
>>741768725gabes wife and gf
>>741769540wdym? if they bought before price hike then the steam machine's price wouldn't be so high
>>741768797>>741769928left is very clearly a dude
>>741768725Because they wanted their shit fucked up.
>>741770103The "consumer stores" get the ram the same way valve did. Even if they still have stock they have to pump the price to keep the business running. Whether the shortage is real or not is irrelevant.

>>741769945Yeah, but, why would you buy hardware years before you'd need it? Hardware improves, prices drop. They assumed when it came time they'd have the best deal for the hardware like it had been. Nobody saw this coming.
They don't tend to stockpile a lot and would have had to raise the price significantly after, besides prices have been shit across the board since crypto
They're the only ones that would buy this shit
>>741768725this image makes 0 sense. Left is a troon and right is a dyke. All dykes hate men, which is why they only date other women, so why would a lesbian want a guy that dresses as a woman? Even worse when he still has a cock.
>>741768725>Why didn't valve buy the hardware they needed before prices went to shit?For what, the first batch? Then what? They raise the price on subsequent machines?If they wanted a stable price, they needed to secure a deal with a dedicated production company, or even start one of their own, which would obviously be a huge investment.
>>741777654There was a screenshot doing the rounds lately of some dyke plebbit board where the OP is having a nervous breakdown because she doesn't want to fuck trannies, but still wants to "affirm" them by considering them women, and could not make it compute in her own mind.These people are broken on the most fundamental of levels.
>>741777654Marketing firms are just as delusional as trannies. I’ve seen commercials all for different products all featuring a skinny black girl on a gaming PC. These ads are 100% liberal wish fulfillment 0% truth.
>>741774915Mid-tier is an RTX 5060 or 9060XT, both are massively faster than the steam machine's GPU.
>>741778121Modern marketing is liberal social engineering.There are entire companies like Apple who will literally never again put a normal, heterosexual looking white man in their marketing materials.
Are we ready to admit they are the good guys of gaming
>>741768725They don't have a time machine to predict the future with.
>>7417781455060 and 9060 are both low tier cards. gtx1060/rx480 was the last what i would call mid-tier xx60.
>>741780861wait till they have to sell new hardware
are you surprised? the entire company is compromised, they might as well be resetera users
