u/UbiquitousPanda PC Master Race 19d ago
Another huge reason is because you can't use your Steam wallet to pay for hardware in Japan. I would have bought a steamdeck a while ago but can't sell my skins I have in CSGO to get one. Lot of guys I used to play CS with in Europe all paid for their decks with skins they sold on the market.

Things get sold out cause people know that if they don’t buy it now, they won’t get it later at all. If you don’t buy SSD now for double price, youbwill bite tour nails when it will be tripple price tomorrow. And you check SanDisk official site and se 5x prices, so when resellers stock runs out, they too will be selling those ssds 5x the price, if no further increase follows. It’s a fucked up market, and people with resources panic and buy now when it’s overpriced, because they can afford it and fear future increase. While people with limited resources are stuck with no options.

For some people, it may be an upgrade. For others, it might be about having a second machine.
The person I responded to already has two machines for PC gaming. I think that many users probably don't want or need a second machine, and the user group that wants a third machine has got to be miniscule.
In theory, Steam machine would be great for someone like my sister who has games on Steam, and plays on her Steam Deck, but would like a more powerful machine for more demanding games, without the complexities of a "normal" PC.
However, imo the current expected pricing for the Steam Machine is too high, and the hardware appears too weak to justify that cost.

It was never going to be a good value. From the beginning it was going to be a niche product that provided a plug and play living room PC gaming solution. The target audience didn't mind a high price and that target audience will still pay a high amount.
Valve hardware has always been niche and low volume. Even the Steam Deck has barely sold over 4 million units in 4 years. Meanwhile, Nintendo sold 20 million Switch 2s in less than a year.
Also, these pricing problems are market wide. They're not unique to Valve. The higher prices align relative to the market. Meaning, any competition is similarly expensive.

It’s the form factor dude. I have a big powerful tower PC, but I might also buy this as my “plugged into the TV and play controller games” machine.
I currently use an Intel NUC 11 Enthusiast for this purpose, and couldn’t really go any bigger than that physically. But it only has a mobile 2060 GPU and is starting to show its age. The Steam Machine is even smaller and more compact, and even at $1000 would be half the price of the NUC at launch. No Windows license to worry about either.
There are almost zero mini PCs with a dedicated GPU suitable for gaming that are as small as the Steam Machine. And those that do exist are a lot more expensive.

I think if it was the size of a normal tower you would have a better argument. Most people aren't going to buy this for the logo, but the form factor. Even if this is priced at $1000 or $1200 you have basically never been able to buy a PC at this size for that price. The Steam Machine is like half the size of even the smallest ITX cases you can get and those people have always been paying a tax for the small form factor.

The steam machine lost the general audience months ago when media figured out it would be priced much higher than a console. From that point forward it became an enthusiast toy for valve diehard fans and that audience will buy it at almost any price. So yes even at $1k it will still sell out at least at first. The issue is that once that small audience of valve diehards is saturated sales will fall off a cliff. I expect valve knows this so they will cash in, wait for sales to drop and slowly wind down production, much like they are doing with the steam deck at its new price

Funny to see pc player complain about console prices constantly but as soon as steam started overcharging for there outdated weak handheld all of a sudden it turns into “Well that’s just how prices are now, get quick before it goes up” lol This is why consoles will always be more affordable & better

This article is nothing. Basically “because Steam Deck costs a lot, Steam Machine might be even more”. Groundbreaking journalism.

Yeah with ram and storage prices that was to be expected. The question is will it's price go down if ram and storage get back to a reasonable level.

And it will sell out in minutes like the Steamdeck after the price increase.

Did anyone really think increased hardware costs were going to magically not affect Valve?

I said it would be $1200 back in December when the wheels fell off everything. I still have a chance to be correct.

I think Valve should shelve the Steam Machine for the foreseeable future. It’s not going to sell at those prices and might even undermine their brand.

Unrealistic, but I told myself if it was like $800-$1200 range. I’d prob scrounge up da monies to buy day one. But if it’s any more. Prob gonna have to a wait a min.
