    I think you guys don’t read the context of the message. I was responding to:

    Well, here goes the hope for a sub-1000€ Steam machine.

    In which I tried to explain there is hope for a machine under 1000 Euros, because the machine just don’t add up in price, but there are parts that make it cheaper to produce. So your paraphrasing therefore incomplete and misleading.

      I very much included that context.

      Lemmchen: “Wow steam machines are gonna be expensive”, on a thread specifically about a massive price hike on Steam Decks (due to memory pricing)

      Your comment just now once again reaffirms that you were trying to make the case that the machine’s lack of screen, battery, and optional controller will indeed offset the expected price increases of the memory.

      Everyone here is just trying to tell you that they disagree with your expectation/prediction.

      But that’s all any of us is doing, after all, is predicting.

      We think that the memory increases will be more impactful than not having a screen, battery (super negligible because it needs a power supply anyway), and optional controller, leading to a steam machine that will be over €1,000.

      If you do also believe that, absolutely none of your comments make any sense.
