@sherrera1098@ChiefsNStonks@Wario64 Yeah. I don’t even think this was because of the current market having a stroke. This was just greed, same thing they’ve done to the steam deck with the price increase by almost %50, just by expecting people to buy it because of its flexibility.
@sherrera1098@ChiefsNStonks@Wario64 Technically it is designed to lure console users to the “couch” play scheme. But it is not a console. Consoles are ecosystems of their own, limited by their own software. On the other hand the SM lets you install any operating system you want on it with steam OS. Just like any PC
@VideoCardz This just tells me that even if the current parts market is going through a crisis, companies are still overcharging way more than they should. Valve could’ve easily charged a way lower amount but just like every other corpo they overdo it, just like with the steam deck new price
@sherrera1098@ChiefsNStonks@Wario64 I think even a price around the 600-800 mark with a controller would have people buy it. This is just ridiculous, I discard the 400-500 theory because this is a pc not a console and comes with free online and flexibility pc has. Sweet spot would’ve been $700-750
@Wario64 I really would’ve bought it to pair with my steam deck but this price is beyond outrageous. I was expecting it to be at least negatively around the $800 mark.
