    the argument isn’t that steam would sell at a loss if it wasn’t for ai, it’s that price is close to market parity, when we know the original price was projected to be $750

      $750 according to who? Valve? The most honest and knightly and chivalrous of all tech companies? They wouldn’t lie or mislead, would they?

        are you implying that valve would massively gouge people for a computer by $500 over market parity, if the price of all computer components didn’t skyrocket during the development of the machine?

        that price is slightly higher then what the cost would have been to build the computer like a year ago. and that was the price the leak had proposed. what possible purpose could lying about something so mundane have?
