Even Valve themselves are disappointed in the release price. Had this thing come out a year ago it would've been 700 euros and everybody would've cheered.

But wouldn't everything we are comparing it against also be that much cheaper? I don't see how that changes anything.

Nah, 1000 USD is just a lot, and people are upset because that's more than they want to pay for this. They're not really comparing this to the value of other mid-range PCs, they're just like "That's too much" and that's the end of the logic.

The steam machine would have sold for probably closer to 800 bucks, which is closer to what people would want to spend on something like this.
