Good news for the steam machine?

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Steam Machine will also be hit with everything that is going on globally unless Valve decides to heavily subsidize the hardware. They probably don't have the volume discounts that MS/Sony/Nintendo do, who sell hardware with low margins to begin with.

Even if the Steam Machine is reasonably priced, scalpers would grab them all and keep prices inflated anyway.

I agree, I meant to say it’s going to be an easier pill to swallow for people if consoles are more expensive.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ah I see.

I hope it is priced within this ballpark, yeah.

I'm under the assumption that the steam machine will need RAM as well.
