Does it matter if I have experience in product development? Do you?

A product has to justify its cost. This one does not.

You can DIY or buy a pre-built that massively outperforms Valve’s console.

I feel like Valve would have been better off designing a new motherboard and discrete GPU design to facilitate cooling and smaller cases.

Make a new standard and allow any third party to use it.

They just wanted to make a new GameCube instead.

I meant that pre-built or DIY are both better deals. I realize now that I should have been more clear.

This Steam console is bad when discussing performance and value. It has a nice design.

You’re asking me to create the design? I’m not an engineer.

I can tell you that PCs are generally a mess and are definitely limited by standards set decades ago.

That’s what Valve should be doing instead of making a $1000 PS4.

You can build and buy a pre-built PC that easily outperforms the Steam console.

I don’t care what he or his PR says.

Everyone on the Epstein list is very likely part of a massive criminal group that trafficked children and abused them and killed them. All of their communications and finances for the last 40 years should be closely investigated and made public.

People with massive wealth are a danger to society.

Valve is making a bad deal worse. By being needlessly greedy.

I am in the reality where all the other gaming consoles massively outperform it while costing hundreds less and also providing a controller.

I’m talking about something that is closer to a true PC ecosystem than the locked-in underpowered overpriced DOA system.

If the price is going to be exorbitant the system might as well be customizable and not limited to AMD’s trash bin.

Did you for get that when they upgrade the storage to 2TB they do not also include the 512GB storage included in the low end model?

It's hard to believe that it's just a RAM issue.

Valve is going full Apple with the SSD upgrade. They're making a healthy profit from each system they sell.

The $60 price point was helped by the market expanding but that is going to be difficult with the hardware costs.

Devs need to bring down production costs. They should be making games at PS2 quality instead of maxing out PS5 Pros.

Vance is only VP because the Trumps wanted access to Peter Thiel’s money.

Nobody likes Vance.

Vance is Thiel’s subordinate.

I’m fully expecting the wealthy will attack even more aggressively during the midterm election.

We must prepare for their misinformation and do our best to keep them on their back foot.

Corporations raise prices whenever they want but threaten to raise prices unless they get their way.

lol fuck em.

It’s a strategy designed and paid for by the wealthy.

It’s hilarious how Musk is the wealthiest with multiple businesses that are actively failing and cannot make a solid case for their valuation without going into fantasy scenarios.

The DNC works really hard to keep CA under their control. Thankfully, they’re losing control of NY.

Also, CA is nowhere as progressive as right wing propagandists parrot.

The plan was to get retail investors (idiots) to pay loans and the original investors with cold hard cash.

Now the retail (idiots) investors own stock in a business that makes no money and is burning piles of money monthly.

The hobby is becoming more mainstream and nobody is willing to manufacture so much that there’s a massive risk of losses if it doesn’t sell.

Also, AI. Also, late stage capitalism.
