I appreciate that Valve is trying and putting out good stuff

It’s just unfortunate everything is on fire while they try.

kinda of a raw deal given the effort valve has already put into fex emu (and likely, into the turnip mesa driver as well).

not that qualcomm seem to care much about desktop Linux, though that may change with oobe (and the expectations therein) for llm shit.

I'm not happy, but sadly not surprised either.

ffs

So now I'm priced out many times over.

Hopefully they'll finally release this thing before things get even worse. Still determined to get one, but I know I won't like the price.

I wonder if they could do a hardware revision at some point that has all the standalone capabilities stripped out. They've really focused on the streaming capabilities rather than the standalone aspect in their marketing anyway. So I think a version without any storage and just enough power to stream from a PC could be a way more feasible product in the current market.

This was the only hardware from Valve that I was actually interested in. Whatever the price is, I'm sure it wasn't going to be good, but now it's going to be horrendous.

gaben gotta be this fucking close to just spinning up his own entire hardware fab company to bypass all this AI bullshit

Hurry up and release Steam Frames already ffs.

When will this AI bubble pop?

Actually, I'm not even sure the AI bubble popping will change hardware prices, unless the market is suddenly flooded with hardware that has to be sold when companies go bankrupt and datacenters have to be emptied.
