the most crazy-making part of this whole thing is that so many trans people of all ages can speak powerfully & eloquently about the harms of being denied a timely & effective medical transition, but our words, our actions, even our *corpses* are treated as manipulative

i think art is good, and i think recognizing when artists are doing something new and weird is also good.

here's me losing my shit about fake video games for nearly 2 hours

Not even Half Life 3 being exclusive to it would save it from irrelevancy in like a year at those prices.
Then this is for who exactly?
Rich Valve fans?

More expensive than a PC or console, you can't upgrade it, you can't play a lot of the more popular games, doesn't seem that it will come with a controller.... Isn't portable either.... so who is this for?
Steam Machine price will not be subsidized and 'more in line with what you might expect from current PC market', says Valve

The thing about highly competitive products is that the less differentiated from competition they are, the more sensitive they are to price. Unless you invent a new super banana, you'll have a hard time convincing me to pay $2 more for an identitical banana. Steam Machine isn't a Steam Deck.

Maybe the play is valve expects to bundle these with steam decks and steam frames to capute enthusiasts who WOULD buy a $1500 steam deck. Instead of an Xbox rog ally you go get a steam deck and steam machine. It's a price discriminatory steam deck peripheral.

This is for the tiny niche of people who own a steam deck and no PC and wish they could more easily play on their TV. Do those people want to spend $1000, but only on a Box and not an actual computer? I don't think so.

"Pay a premium fee to solve the problem of needing to use a keyboard and mouse on your home theater PC" is why Steam Link failed and like that product I expect them to clear out inventory at 75-90% discount in 3 years.

Without subsidies I don't see this costing under $1000 and it's not a compelling product for anyone at those specs and that price. Not when an equivalent gaming PC is $1000 and a more powerful console is <$500. The steam deck had a unique form factor. This doesn't.

Okay, nevermind. This is a small volume, niche enthusiast product and not a serious piece of gaming hardware, understood. The steam deck was a total fluke and Valve has no intention to win over the >100m console owners who aren't spending money on steam.

Also, there are a bunch of games, some notable, that you can't run there because of being Steam OS, which also does limit everything even more, specially on that specific demographic
