Steam Machine prices are out, and they're just as bad as expected

Sucks to be Gabe then. Not interested.

Indeed, it really sucks. I'd HATE to be this guy:

Good for him, and Gabe can fuck off. Another rich sell out. How boring.

He hasn't taken Steam public, thankfully. I'm happy that it's not beholden to shareholders.

I've never seen a console more dead on arrival.

Have people already forgotten the release of the PS3?

The fact it was planned to be $750-800 makes this all the sadder. It could've been interesting, but instead it might as well be doa for most people. And for what? So tech companies can implement the most dogshit/useless AI nonsense imaginable? Lovely!

Well that is one way of making sure my backlog doesn't keep growing. Make everything so expensive i have to play what i already bought

So onto much important matters sellout bitch, Gabe: what's the next best emulation device?

R36 MAX2 or RG406H?

They can all get fucked and go to hell. Especially when it's poisoning our planet.

The Steam Machine isn't a legit console anyway, you're missing nothing by skipping out on it
If you don't already have Windows or smth, the Steam Deck is better to bother with.

Even if you want a PC handheld the lower end ROG Ally is a better price to power value.

I just hope we get a new valve game out of this at least

I think the steam machine was always going to be overpriced with or without the part shortage. I honestly thought it was gonna be more expensive

Welp, time to have a real PC that you could choose the component and upgrade anytime.

512 Go and no gamepads for something that is over 1000 bucks is also too much.
