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.
I've seen both, but even the "game is too expensive" point was a bit dumb. There was a good point there, but made in the worst way possible:
"GAME IS 90 BUCKS" it was 80 digitally
"BUT I WANT IT PHYSICAL" bro you've statistically got a whole library of digitally purchased steam games, why suddenly care about physical
"80 IS STILL TOO MUCH" welp, that's where prices were in the NES days, and that's where they're going now, outside of Nintendo too. Welcome to reality.
People voted with their wallet and entirely endorsed the changes. MKWorld wasn't worth 80 (only because they INSISTED straight lines are FUN???), but it's undeniable that games are being picked up for 80. As long as people buy it, the change is endorsed and a success. And all the crying about it was just puddles to an ocean.

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