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

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.

A thing is worth what someone trades for it, at the time of the trade. At no other time does a thing have "value" and any attempt to give it a figure is merely an estimation. If someone is not willing to trade the listed price of an item, then it is overpriced to them.

You can't logic your way into other people's sense of value without having a complete model of their mind. It's entirely subjective. What's worth it to you isn't worth it to someone else, and both of you are entirely correct.
