ms_lane, 2 miesiące temu do games w Valve confirms Steam Machine will be priced ‘like a PC with the same level of performance’

Retail units couldn’t access most of the RSX in OtherOS for Sony reasons, Geohot fixing that was why they killed OtherOS.

Apparently the DOD units never had any lockouts on the GPU.

A PS5 Pro is locked to the PlayStation store, I can’t install my Steam, GOG, Epic, etc games on it.

The games are all more expensive too and you have to rebuy them to get resolution upgrades with newer hardware.

I don’t think it’d be that high, retail prices on similar hardware to the specs is ~USD$700, including a (crappy) case and a (decent) PSU.

I think Valve could get it to $649 without subsidy.

Just due to not having pay as much for the parts, they’d be getting the cpu+gpu directly from AMD as ‘semi-custom’ parts, so there is no Distributor, wholesaler or retailer profits to bundle in, the GPU is on the main board too, so no extra AIB profits to worry about on the GPU.

DRAM will be a ‘fun’ one due to price fluctuations though.

Really depends on how much profit they want to make.

That’s a bit different IIRC, they purchased them directly from Sony and they didn’t have any of the OtherOS hardware lockouts like retail consoles did.

I’m not sure how a company can actually proactively prevent this kind of thing.

By employing people themselves and paying a proper wage.

It’s not hard.

I don’t believe Alberto or Bungie.

He’s a thief.

No, the Steam Machine has a CPU and a pcie GPU.

Even if you could argue Raphael was an ‘apu’ since it has the 2CU GPU, those are lasered off on Steam Machine’s CPU.

PCGamer’s advertisers care.

How will Corsair sell $500 cases and $300 water cooling systems, with $600 of attached fans to people just buying a SteamDeck.

PCGamer’s advertisers need the clueless to think that buying all that is essential.

I think there’s room for scoping down without going that far.

Skyrim was still by a team of ~300 people. There is no reason we can’t still just do that.

HR is great.

MD is half a game, with disjointed quests due to it. It’s sorta funny how the developers made all the Sonic and Knuckles references…

I do wish they’d done more with the buildings.

The structures being carbon-copy was lore, they’re built in factories and dropped from ships.

But that doesn’t mean they all need the same boxes in a row layout internally, some personality would have been great and pretty easy to implement.

I didn’t think it was so bad I had to stop playing, but I did stop playing one night once it got late and just never started it again, nor had the desire.

It seemed fine enough, but it just didn’t click with me I guess.
