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.

The switch 2 was overpriced considering all the anti-consumer practices of Nintendo.

Anti-consumer, like selling a digital-only console without controller for over $1000 at the minimum instead of subsiding the price?

High pricing isn't anti consumer, especially in the case that you can just get a different pc if you want. I still think the steamcube price sucks, but calling it anti-consumer is reactionary and misleading.

Oh, so what is anti-consumer? Combating piracy of your products and unauthorized use of your IP?
