They’re also trying to make Steam OS available to install on any PC, so any argument of “AlL tHeY tHiNk AbOuT iS pRoFiTs” goes out the door there. I think the only struggle right now is getting it to work with NVidia graphics cards or something.
Because they are a for profit company with a billionaire ceo. Making profits it’s their job.
BTW, try putting together a same or better spec build yourself and get back to us with the cost.
The price you pay for something in a store is not the same price valve pays for a stock of parts. They buy the same stuff for a lot cheaper and resell it at an higher price to make profits.
It’s hard to believe that it’s just a RAM issue.
Valve is going full Apple with the SSD upgrade. They’re making a healthy profit from each system they sell.
It’s both RAM and storage price. A 2TB NVMe cost upward of 300$ CAD.
Did you for get that when they upgrade the storage to 2TB they do not also include the 512GB storage included in the low end model?
Could be said for literally every single product ever made, come back to reality, holy fucking shit dude.
Valve is making a bad deal worse. By being needlessly greedy.
I am in the reality where all the other gaming consoles massively outperform it while costing hundreds less and also providing a controller.
Why shouldn’t they? Margins are going to be tight btw, so they’re really not. What they’re really selling is a vehicle for Steam.

You can easily make a better pc for cheaper. Plenty of reviews showed this.
For like $50-$100 cheaper. And they all ignored the small form factor which could easily cost that.
You can build and buy a pre-built PC that easily outperforms the Steam console.
that does not make sense. you are not building a pre-built, because then its not a pre-built. is the sky cloudy over there?
I meant that pre-built or DIY are both better deals. I realize now that I should have been more clear.
This Steam console is bad when discussing performance and value. It has a nice design.
