I wonder if DDR prices are a factor. They might lose too much with the lower proved model compared to the OLED models.
These have DDR4 RAM, right? But Gaben did say that the original $399 price was difficult to hit, so any small increase in component prices might make it impossible.
Look on OfferUp and you'll see folks coming out of the woodwork trying to sell 64gb DDR4 for $300-700.
I'm glad I rebuilt my PC before they started requiring a rainbow clown wig on top of every module.
jfc I gave away two sticks of this a year or two ago because I didn't need them anymore. if only I knew.
RIP. I got Rog z390, 9700k, and 64GB DDR4 for $180 last week. Upgrading my unraid server!
“If I keep the price the same, how will I afford my fifth’s yacht’s docking bay for my smaller yachts?!”
If Gabe Newell was going to fund something with his personal finances why in living fuck would he subsidize a games console instead of donating to charity.
To make more money
Yeah that's the only other thing that would make sense as a method to keep marketshare
