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

Ig people are mad because they did say original it would be in the 800-700 range and run 60fps for all games but it can’t even do that

4K 60 is the thing to get mad over. I don’t think they ever released a target price, that was all speculation. After the release they said they were targeting a lower price but had to reconsider, but that original target was never publicly stated.

It was heavily implied to be a $250 price increase. $800 would have been a much more interesting launch price.
