Valve updated their article about when the Steam Machine/Controller/Frame will ship.

Previous message:

We hope to ship in 2026, but as we shared recently, memory and storage shortages have created challenges for us. We’ll share updates publicly when we finalize our plans!

New message:

We shared recently that there have been challenges with memory and storage shortages, but we will be shipping all three products this year. More updates will be shared as we finalize our plans.

One vague rumor suggested the memory pricing hill might be leveling off; sadly Valve might be paying upfront for it still, but at least it won’t get worse.

One vague rumor suggested

No source? Who is that person? So nobody needs to listen to it. It's a rumor, vague, from a single source and just a suggestion (sounds like an opinion rather than deep analysis). My point is, nobody knows and nobody can make predictions what will happen. Everyone has their opinion.

Sorry the vague source was spread by me when I sarcastically mentioned it and like a game of telephone that morphed into being from an source to mention off hand in comments.

...I mean, yes, which is why I lead with those 4 words. I'm hoping nobody is making critical stock bets based on Lemmy comments. It's more of a "nice possibility" to make us hopeful we can buy PCs sometime.

It was from me and I'm very reliable. Most reliable person I know. Trust me

[–] Lfrith@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago

I can vouch for them since I too am the most reliable so that's double reliability.
