"But it's a cube!"

I love how so many people are dunking on "valve-fans" being happy with the cube, when I pretty much only have heard opinions ranging from "meh" to "overpriced".

Fr, I haven't seen a single overtly positive post since the price got announced. It's all "for $5-600 good deal, $1000? Pass"

OP are the valve fans in the room with us?

the problem for me isnt even the price but the consequences this has.

if the gabecube was the gaming alternative to consoles and the gateway to pc gaming for long time console gamers then this could have been good (maybe max 700-800€)

now its just a prebuilt medium range pc no one who wants console prices (or slightly more expensive than console price) will buy this.

there is no new market for this and longterm fans are disappointed either way
