Last year for $200 I got 64GB of DDR5 RAM when I built a new PC. That same set of RAM is still available at Micro Center but is now $920. Prices are going to be insane.

This doesn’t really surprise me, the costs are blowing out and creating volatility for any hardware that releases in that time.

I cannot see this being affordable for most people at this rate…

Didn’t amd literally yesterday say it was on track to release early this year

I feel like we’re witnessing an interesting case of bad timing that I’m surprised Valve execs didn’t see coming. It almost makes me wonder if the steam machine has been greenlit for years and only recently pushed to release to get the project off the books.
I wonder if Valve’s hardware team is going to take a break after this…

There is no way the Steam Machine can be affordable and profitable with RAM prices where they are.
RAM prices are through the roof. In September, I built my wife a gaming rig. 32GB of RAM was $65. I looked up the same RAM last week and it was $420.

Wasn’t there literally an article a couple of hours ago saying they were on track?

No reason for the steam controller to be delayed just because the other two might be

The delay is only price gauging

I was honestly hoping to get a steam machine mostly to be able to play my pc games in my living room instead of my office, but with the price insanity going on I don’t know that I’ll be able to justify the cost just to sit in a different room.
