My point is that you can’t take the price out of the equation. If your standard for “potential customer” is everyone for whom a Steam Machine would be an upgrade, that’s not a useful metric in my opinion. As many of those either can’t afford to pay that much or wouldn’t want to pay it for an upgrade they don’t necessarily need. Dota plays just fine on older systems. My initial statement was in the context of the pricing, not “I wonder if anyone would get it if it were $100”.
If you ignore the price, sure.
I believe it. I’m sure there are millions of people using Steam to play Dota or CS2 on stuff like old laptops. But how many of those are willing and able to spend 1000+ for an upgrade?
Ultimately, stock may be so low that it doesn’t really matter though.
The original Steam Controller and Steam Link went on sale for about 5€ each just before they were phased out. OG Steam Deck also had some smaller discounts.
Yeah, but Steam Deck had an extremely attractive and competitive price when it launched.
All true. If you already have a large library of PC games, it wouldn’t make much sense to get a console. But then you probably already have a PC as well, and can ride it out until the AI bubble pops. That’s certainly what I’m doing, as now is probably the worst time in history to buy new PC hardware.
Of course, some may say it’s only the worst time in history for now…
My guess would be like 600 or so for the base model.
It’s hard to say, but at least before the component shortages, I would have expected the Frame to be the more expensive device. After all, it has 2 included controllers, displays, batteries, tracking cameras etc. But maybe the lower memory and storage (if you go for the 256GB) along with its mobile SoC might help reduce the effects of the component crisis somewhat. I don’t expect it to be below 1k€ though, personally.
I wonder how many people there are that fall in that category but who wouldn’t just buy a much cheaper console instead though.
It’s obviously not Valve’s fault but man, that’s expensive. Wasn’t planning on getting one anyway, but it certainly makes me worried about what the Frame may cost.
Anyone here planning on getting one? I do wonder how much of a market there is for it at this price.
No idea if this game is a joke or a social experiment
It’s a grift - get one idiot to buy it and you’ll have made a profit. Not an original idea either, “I Am Rich” was pretty much the same thing back in 2008.
Witch hat atellier (strong recommendation for everyone who likes […] yuri or yaoi
Why’s that? I’ve also watched (and liked) the entire first season, but I’m pretty sure it contains no yuri or yaoi whatsoever. Which is probably for the best, considering most of the main characters are kids.
You need some sort of streaming if you want to play Split-Screen over the Internet. I guess you could use Steam’s Remote Play Together feature with an emulator (I believe there are ways to enable that for non-steam games).
It has quite a refreshing setting for a fantasy RPG: A prison colony beneath a magical barrier that has been taken over by the prisoners. It has a seamless open world which instead of being large focuses on being dense, immersive and interesting to explore. You can join different factions and there’s quite a bit of variety in how to approach the game. NPCs all have realistic daily routines. It also has satisfying progression: You start out as an absolute loser who can barely hold a sword and gets killed in 2 hits by a rat and slowly work your way up to be a powerful warrior or mage.
Facial recognition goes beyond face tracking, by running an algorithm that identifies an individual by their facial features. It can use face tracking as one of its base technologies, yes, but not with the same goal and it generally needs different and more detailed data points than the simple face tracking you’d use for an AR feature like this one.
I’m sorry, but I’m really not sure what you’re trying to say with Andross, nor have you explained the connection to the Virtual Boy. Are you trying to spin some great conspiracy where Nintendo is monitoring us via facial recognition and has somehow been doing that since the 90s?
That’s not facial recognition, it’s face tracking. And it is a chat feature. What exactly is supposed to be the problem here? Also I’m not sure why you linked the Virtual Boy, which didn’t have a camera, face tracking or even a chat.
Well-deserved! It’s an excellent remake. They modernized and enhanced a lot but didn’t overdo it and kept the important parts that make it “Gothic”. Hope we’ll see Gothic 2 and eventually 3 remakes by Alkimia as well.
I was about to recommend this too. Probably the closest thing to Elder Scrolls that isn’t actually Elder Scrolls or a mod. Excellent game, and quite an impressive achievement considering it’s an indie developer with nowhere near the budget of a Bethesda game.
I’m not looking for a fight. If you don’t want to be judged by other users, I’d suggest not posting here as that’s the entire point of the community.
Can’t confirm. Especially if you live directly below a roof.
