Valve's Steam Machine team tell us how the memory and components crisis scuppered their plans for the mini PC's pricing.

That’s gonna be a no from me. If it’s not at the very least as cheap as a console, I’m out.

I love how you get a downvote for that, as if your decision not to pay an inflated price offends someone.

I won’t be buying it either unless it’s reasonably priced. I can’t take it anywhere with me, they already have a system for that and I have a PC.

Probably downvoted because it's much cheaper if you account for subscriptions and higher sales prices.

I see the value for some, I saw mention of people who want a pc at their telly, some who don’t have a pc and yeah, it’s probably good value for those.

I’m annoyed we didn’t get what we would have without this AI boom

They should offer a B.Y.O. DDR5 SODIMM/ NVME 4 2230/2280 barebones system. 🥹 😭

I trust the prices will go down if they can. On all of their hardware.
