Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open
Simon_Shitewood@lemmy.ml 2 weeks agoThey’re not buying at the prices your local hardware store bought them at though, they’re buying at the future price of hardware when it actually gets built for them. It’s not price gouging.
I talked about SSD prices in an entirely separate sentence, it doesn’t make any contextual sense for you to lump it into the previous statement.
The literal next sentence he says is “but blender put it near the 5600x”. You’re comparing it’s worst performing tasks to general performance.
You are being melodramatic.

That’s really not how pricing works, but ok.
It’s supposedly a pc, not just a console. There’s nothing unfair about the comparison
You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
If you like to fanboy all over Valve so much then go ahead and buy it. Have fun. We’ve literally alredy seen how this plays out. Did you already forget about the og steam machine?

I fear your understanding of context is matched by your understanding of economics if you think your first two claims are true. It’s a PC at a PC price, and your unfamiliarity with the market doesn’t change that.
Melodramatic means exactly what I think it means - I’m saying you’re being overemotional to make a drama out of a non-issue, as backed up by your projective accusations - I don’t want one, I’m not it’s target audience. You, on the other hand, are here raging that it… Costs a normal price for a computer of its specs. It’s obvious this isn’t a real issue, you’re just reactively hating on Valve.

Your first paragraph is like you talking to a mirror xD and the second one is flat out wrong. Most reviewers agree with me. This thing is way too outdated and expensive to make sense. It’s doa. I don’t care if you believe me or not, it will die anyway.
