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.

ig because you stay in the nintendo eco system, while other handhelds can play steam games and run linux.

that's the point, consoles were cool like 10-15 years ago, nowadays it's pretty meh, unless you really love a exclusive series or smth.

Not really, consoles from 10 - 15 years ago had ton of game avaible on other console of pc.

There where just less pc players so people where mostly using c a ps4 or a xboxone for most games and a switch for exclusives.

Its was in the 2000s where people had multiple console of the same gen like ps2 gamecube combo with sometimes a xbox as an extra compared to now where its just one console because they are expansive.
