>b-b-b-but its because of MUH AI!A controller doesnt have AI parts like memory in it.Why does steam hate its userbase so much?The steam machine just made them go mask off as being greedy.
Steam is a luxury brand like apple
Relative to Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo's premium offerings, it's priced incredibly wellRelative to chinese third parties, it's hard to justify unless you have a defined use case for touchpads or capacitive stick caps and grips
>>741828245I'm good
>>741828245those yachts are not gonna fund themselves
>>741828245But that's only 50% the price of an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller.>whataboutism
>>741828245Did you not see the Valve Index or the Steam Deck? Is this your first time opening Steam? Just like those other times, people who want it will buy it, and people who don't won't. And by no metric were those other products 'successful' either.
>>741828517Same with the PS5 pro controller. And that one runs out of battery by the time you hit the main menu
>>741828397Relative to xbox series X, the steam machine is priced over $900 more with tax while being 1.5x less powerfulI'd say its a pretty big achievement to be that greedy with the price and or specs for it to be worse than microsoft and fucking bill gates consoles.Steam machine is hurting valves image big time, it makes people not have faith in valve or steamOS.Forget any excuse they use to say why it cant be priced lowered, its hurting valves brand image and optics massively. The question is in a couple months when this shit show is over, are they going to play the blame game or admit they fucked up and got too greedy. Because we all know a price tag of $1200 with a controller ISN'T because of AI
>>741828762reddit spacing retard >Forget any excuse they use So ignore any arguments that may prove you wrong? Sounds exactly like something a reddit faggot would say.
>>741828692I upgraded my DualSense Edges with larger batteries.
>>741829657there's no excuse they can use to explain away a $1200 price tag.Its $300 hardware with whatever they bought in bulk. Its weaker than an xbox series SYou sound mad considering no one will buy this scam lmao.
>>741828245that's what premium controllers costbut I got vader 5 pro with charging dock for same price
A lot normies dont know that pretty much every console ever has been sold at a loss with the plan of making the difference back on game and peripheral sales.
>>741828245I'm actually interested in it. I'll gladly pay a hundred bucks for a controller that isn't a giant piece of shit. But, I'm going to wait and see about a year first, see what teething troubles the thing has.
>>741828513What's with retards bringing this shit up that the hardware isn't being sold at a loss? Nobody sells hardware at all loss anymore. Microsoft and Sony did that gen by gen and with the PS4 they started selling the hardware at a profit.
>>741828245Valve hardware has always been a luxury. Very high quality, very reliable, very repairable
>>741830067See >>741832619Nintendo NEVER has sold at a loss because they actually run a business and don't have the infinite money glitch.
>>741828485>*corrupts it's own firmware*
>>741828245That's not even expensive for a controller, what are you on about?
>>741833093This is true, and that's why Nintendo consoles are a decade behind everything else in terms of tech
>>74182824599 for a premium controller is pretty normal. Xbox charges like 100-200, nintendo charges like 80 I think for the pro controller? though that doesn't really have any extra features, it's just a regular controller. haven't looked it up but I'm sure the PS5 pro or whatever is also around 100 or so. my fight stick was like, 200 lol
>>741828245Poor Gaben needs your money. He only has a few billion dollars.
I want a new controller. Any recommendations on one with a dpad to the current Xbox controller? Or if anyone knows if you get a rechargable lithium battery for it, if Windows actually properly reports the current battery life?
>>741828245What? $100 for the controller?Pretty standard price for a premium gaming controller. Whatever you do, don't look up the price of Switch 2 Pro controllers, joycons, the PS5 Pro controller, or the Xbox elite controller.
>>741833960>what are you on about?They are holding sales for people who reserved a steam controller because they only want to sell it with their overpriced underpowered $1200 shitbox scam cube. If you just wanted a controller, you wont get one until next year, maybe. The irony is that it has no RAM or any parts affected by AI so there should be no shortage. Which means they either under-ordered on purpose or are doing something to make sure people who only want a steam controller don't get one quickly.
>>741828245still better than everyone else, also its optional valve has a history for dropping prices tooI got my original steam controller for $5 when they stopped production of itother companies are shittier and give you a cheap experience for triple the products worth
>>741835884>you wont get one until next year, maybeI'm fine with that anyways.A year, maybe two sounds about right for it to start coming out if it's a piece of shit.
