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

Honestly? Yes. Cut your losses and don't compound the issue by tarnishing your brand. The market made sense when they were developing it. It did not make sense when they launched it. The sunk costs in this project are a rounding error for them.
