That was in the middle of memory prices going vertical, and I still got down voted to hell by people claiming that they were expecting $600-$800 tops…

I was getting really tired of the people that kept insisting that Valve would take a loss on the Steam Machine despite their repeated statements that they weren’t going to do so.

At least now they’ll shut up about it, though a lot of them are probably the ones getting mad about the actual release price. But that’s their fault for convincing themselves.
