My favorite thing about the steam machine is that it’s revealed how absolutely brain dead 99% of consumers in the PC and gaming market are. No wonder Triple A hasn’t been good in almost 20 years.
@RogonUsaryis Bcuz ppl still live in 2010 thinking that hardware prices never changes, when literally a RAM stick that used to cost 30$ is now 500$, the only thing to blame here is economy and how AI datacenters gobble hardware
I’d like to put this into perspective. The ram currently sitting in my pc is 32gb DDR4. I bought this ram, 3 years ago, for the modest price of $84.99
It is now 2026. That same pair of DDR4 ram now runs $347.99 USD. If you can’t math, that’s over a 400% price increase.
WOO!! Only $51 above my guess at the starting price. It DOES NOT deserve hate, ya'll have been conditioned by decades of loss leader consoles that have artificially low pricing.
I want Valve to win -- gonna buy one. Maybe we'll get an eGPU option in future?
