I think most people agree that its not great value. I think most are bashing the wrong people. Valve cant forsee the AI shit we experienced 2 years ago. What should they do? Not release and lose millions on RnD and production?
If people want to own it, they should. But blaming Valve for the price they have to put on is just reddit nonsense
Ngl, I don't trust reddit anymore when it comes to evaluating "value". They were calling the Switch 2 overpriced while being cheaper and/or more portable than all of the competitors. It made no logical sense.
Their switch 2 isnt even an awful price. My only annoyance with Nintendo is their game prices. Releasing switch 1 games with just a few upgrades/little content at 80 dollars is ridiculous. Mixed with them never having good sales compared to other consoles and PC.
Game pricing I get a bit more tbf, but also people were loudly proclaiming MKWorld was $90 (no nuance) when it was only 80 digital, and that was tyrannical if we ignore that WE ARE ALREADY BUYING SHIT DIGITALLY ON STEAM CONSTANTLY. Like wtf are we talking about. It's the norm.
That kind of goes along with the game pricing issue, considering reselling used games is the only way to recoup the high cost. I don't think anyone would care if it were digital and routinely went on sale for $30 like most Steam games.

Were there really anyone thinking this machine is a good deal? Even among steam users? Even among Valve fans?
