Strange, it’s not at all a tough price point for me… Guess I’m not part of the crowd…
My deck has performed brilliantly since the day I bought it, I expect my steam machine to do the same, and if it doesn’t I know exactly who will fix it (I’ve never had to fix my deck)
I think this is a generally good take and think I agree. However, logically, if you take away the money variable, anything that keeps working and you ignore the performance/cost value, is easy to say this with.
I have to wonder why, exactly. My hunch is that this really only appeals to people who want a console-like experience but refuse to buy a console and are willing to pay a huge premium for worse performance to do so.
I don’t even think this is a bad idea, if you have an extensive Steam library then it might be the smart long term financial decision and it’s nice to have a set-it-and-forget-it option for gaming on your TV that can leverage that. I don’t think anyone who buys this will be unhappy with it.
I just think this is a very small market, and most other people have a gaming PC already, would prefer better performance or would save the premium price and just buy a console.
If this can get down to $1000CAD and they introduce a $2000-$2500CAD model when component pricing is sane again that has actual 4K60 performance then this has potential to upend the industry. As it stands I can’t recommend it to anyone.
