… but not to profit a scalper!
- Comment on Frame deliveries - don't hold your breath 1 week ago:
Being on the waitlist myself I slowly accepting the fact that it’s a “wait and see if we even produce a Frame for you” list. At this rate other manufacturers might offer competitive alternatives before I could even order one.
The saddest thing is that I would’ve been willing to spend up to 1.800,- if only I could.
- Comment on Frame deliveries - don't hold your breath 1 week ago:
I saw that and did my little calculation, which I think fits quite well.
- Comment on Frame deliveries - don't hold your breath 1 week ago:
That announcement was what made me do the calculations.

- Comment on Steam Frame updates: People in the reservation queue should be able to see if they're getting their frame this year or next. 1 week ago:
“Waitlist” feels redundant with these timelines. I wonder what their plan was, really: “Let’s create this game-changing headset, but only manufacture and sell a couple thousand of it. Yeah, that’ll change the whole market for VR!”

At this rate there’s a realistic chance to get a used one at a reasonable price before getting a new one from the waitlist. As much as I like Valve I have to say they really dropped the ball on this one. Why even bother creating a market-changing device when you only produce it in minuscule numbers. Now they have neither an egg nor a hen.

Cool, cool, so one for every piece of delivered hardware then. /s

Wait, there’s another queue?

Waitlist (ಥ﹏ಥ)
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 5 weeks ago:
Or, you know, producing enough to meet demand from the start. People have gotten so used to sought after items being in short supply, the thought that companies can actually gauge demand quite well and could produce enough stock doesn’t even cross their mind anymore.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 5 weeks ago:
The lottery is fine, it’s the fact it’s even necessary I abhor.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 5 weeks ago:
No, I’d love there to be enough supply for the vast majority of prospective buyers.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 5 weeks ago:
Oh no, the lottery is the most fair way to deal with expected demand far exceeding supply, no question about that.
I just long for a time when there was enough supply right from the start. I can’t remember having to queue or wait weeks for sought-after electronics in my youth. I don’t even blame Valve here, it seems to be more common everywhere now.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 5 weeks ago:
Price is alright given the market conditions, but the lottery really ticks me off.

I miss the time when you could just buy things.

When you actually receive one — in a acouple of months — it’ll work.
- Comment on LTT side channel Short Circuit has accidentally published their first 30 minutes with Steam Frame early. 5 weeks ago:
I’d hope so. Excluding Steam Machine from streaming would be a hilariously bad look.

By the time you actually hold one in your hands it’ll likely be fixed.

This is pretty cool, but the power draw is massive. If it could be optimized I could see myself using this.

Very cool! You known what would also be cool? Releasing the damn thing!

Oh man, can’t wait for them coming crawling back once this bubble pops.
- Comment on Steam Machine Reservation eBay Listings Double Retail Price as Scalpers Take Hold of Valve's New Console 3 months ago:
Nothing makes sense anymore. People will buy anything if it’s just hyped up and rare enough, without any regard to it’s utility or intrinsic value. Everything has become bored apes.
And I don’t mean to dunk on the steam machine itself, it is a good device for a particular niche. But at twice the price? That’s perfectly ridiculous.
- Comment on I'm tired of GTA 3 months ago:
I had high hopes for GTA IV, especially with the character’s background. But the actual game and characters just completely fell flat for me.

- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 months ago:
I really wanted one, but at this price point I can build a considerably more capable mATX PC. If I had a living room screen I might consider it, but as a pure gaming PC it doesn’t work for me.

Not just gaming companies. I watch every prodct from a listed compny with suspicion by now.
- Comment on Anyone manage to order a controller? 5 months ago:
Here’s my confession: I will rarely use it and never sell it. It’s my second true collector’s item, much like the original. I’m perfectly happy with mouse and keyboard, I just want to own one for the sake of it.
