Need a steam deck price drop

[76561199281265327]

reason being is after watching some videos of steam deck it has become clear that steam deck is actually being used to steam link and remote play high end games in alot of the videos

this is misrepresenting the actual ability of steam decks hardware

steam deck will run low demanding games great

it can not however run demanding high end titles directly it can only steam link remote play them when a more powerful computer is actually running the game.

for this reason i believe that users deserve a fair price for this piece of hardware

reasonable price

200 dollars for the low end model
300 for the mid range
400 for the expanded range

this is my opinion because if you really want the steam deck to succeed you need to get it to the players you need to not get stuck with hardware that is quickly becoming out dated and you need a player base that can use it.

currently steam deck is not for everyone it is a low grade hand held desktop computer, it is not a gaming pc it does not have the hardware capable of handling high end games.

you might not like it but i don't think customers will like buying something that none of the games they want to play will work on. it will lead to mistrust and misrepresentation to the customer that will ultimately create failure.

best of luck with this to steam marketing i will look foward to your price drop and to possibly owning your hardware.

ROFLAMO, yeah a handheld PC that would weigh as much as a laptop and burn your hands....

You make sacrifices for portability, you can't just take a desktop and shrink it to a handheld without trade offs. Power consumption needs cooling and a power supply, cooling needs space to vent which increases the size, increases the size of the battery, etc.

If you want a monster PC that is portable buy a gaming laptop.

100% Sure that after user reviews of steam deck this is exactly what we have.

if you all fixed / improved the hardware you have as much as you try to defend it, steam deck would be worth the money, i seen a huge list of people who couldn't even use steam deck after a required update needing a internet connection, a tether from a cell phone fixed 1 users steam deck issue. that forum post was on dec 2022

so yeah lets roll on the floor laughing about how people got stuck buying steam decks that don't work right, get Returned for repairs authorized by steam because they know they are selling junk to unsuspecting users.

Just for once id love to see steam partake in some good business practices , start by never stopping development of hardware you want to sell people, always keep improving on it, and don't make excuses about going broke, steam decks a limited user base keep that in mind, steam is a limited user base which is why you need custom order steam decks

Feel free to do your own research. every reputable seller, tens of thousands of reviews from 3rd party sites, etc show there are no issues. Sadly you just seem to not know anything about technology and expect them to shrink a PC into a handheld which isn't possible.

If you want to believe that every review and every site is nothing but valve lying feel free. Meanwhile the million+ people that have bought steam decks will keep enjoying them while you keep waiting for a laptop that will fit in your hands.

Look at your rage, due to a few minor issues with a very few amount of people.

Niece uses my steam deck all day, it never gets hot or overheats.

You're just raging since broke and a joke.

Maybe worry about upgrading your current hardware, take all the supposed money you have and replace that slow and ancient RX 570. Gods knows what your CPU and memory are, let alone storage media if still using that yet complaining about how "Expensive" a Steam Deck is when it's dirt cheap.

[76561199281265327]

seems like the opposite , I keep telling fact which you can cross reference on reviews and steam deck forum posts, you guys keep spitting angry at me over a forum thread that could put steam deck 100 dollars cheaper into everyone's hands.

the real question is if its half as bad as user reviews in steam deck forum says, those people buying a steam deck for 300 will be as disappointed as the ones who paid full price.

oh which BTW the low end steam deck 64 gig can't really install 1 top of the line game. so the fact thats broken from the day you get the thing, (not enough storage space) is a big disappointment for any gamer.

you know the more and more i research steam deck the less and less it seems like a smart thing to invest in, so many improvements need made.


*update*
Rx 570 is a VR ready Graphics card with 8 gigs of dedicated VR, it runs pretty good for almost all the games i have tried on it, the best part is i paid around 220 dollars for mine in 2018, my processor is a I7-5000 it was part of its own barebone refrubished system that i picked up a copy of windows 10 with at basicly the cost of windows 10, getting the whole refrubished pc for free.

my cpu cooler is mounted to the mother board with zip ties because i wasn't about to spend 50 or 100 dollars on a special heat sink mount just to hold my cpu heat sink in place, reality is the thermal paste keeps it in place and the zip ties are neon and actually glow from the LED lights i installed, the mother board was replaced because the refurbished system was a low wattage HP with a weird powersupple connection, i upgraded my power supply to a 800 watt.

i also didn't have wifi so i picked up a 2 dollar wifi card from a thift store its wireless N, also my routher is a wireless N / 5g gaming router that i got on clearance for 50 dollars , orginally priced at 200.

the orginal HD shipped was complete garbage and was replaced with cheap SSD drives for around 60 dollars , also bought on sale. the Memory is from older pc's that some came from the refurbish others i had just laying around.

here is my system specs.

i7 3.4ghz processor 4 core (zip tied heat sink, Yes it works) (was cheap , cause im thrifty)
16 gigs ram DDR 3 (deffinatly need to upgrade this but need 8 or 16 gig chips do it )
8 gigs Vram Rx 570 VR compatiable (better then those expensive ones with only 4 or 6 gigs)
Acer AH 101 VR head set hardly ever use it cause VR games are over priced
Recycled Case cause those are just laying around
Xbox 360 Kenetic Camera that has the 3d Modeling
50 inch Plasma TV from the 2005 generation , that still works because they aren't garbage manufactured like todays flat screens.

all in all these low end specs blow the Steam deck away with its shared 16 gig ram /Vram combo
its 7 inch screen, and heck a zip tie would hold the heatsink on better then the tiny dab of therma paste they use.

i feel confidant my system can handle any game i throw at it my system cost under 1000, what about yours?

maybe you can build a steam deck that works as good as this?

All of that, and the Steam Deck due to its resolution, and hardware, runs games better.

So before you were bragging how you have excess money, yet that is your gaming PC. Embarrassing really.

haha you sound jealous , sorry!

Yeah my friend has one and i tried it out and was really surprised just how comfy it is and its already a pretty hefty size. They did a REALLY good job designing it with its balance as it doesn't feel like its the actual size

This pic is hilarious with it next to the type of graphics card the OP wants in it. Would increase the size of the deck 5x+ times over.

There is this thing called memory cards, you plug them in to store games... So once again you don't really seem to be familiar with the device at all or what its for...

[オナニー]

I agree with OP. Companies are real selfish.

I want the world to be where I set the price .

Valve should drop the SteamDeck MAX to 50 US freedom bucks.

I would also like Lexus to build a new LFA supercar but Im only wanting to pay like 100 bucks on that so if they dont get on that then they lost me as a customer.

Oh and sennheiser too. Fkin HD 650 insanely overpriced. Id rather have that thing for free.

If all my demands arent met, Im firing some arrows into their HQ

Yep, totally jealous of a trash PC that can't run any games well that's released in the past 5 years or more.

[𝚁̶̷𝟹̶̷𝙰̶̷𝙻̶̷]

That or there needs to be a revision that knocks down the price of the current. Battery life and the performance are not where I'd like them to be at the price of the OLED model. The system as is needs to cost less or that model needs to see a better processor and battery for me to commit to purchasing one. I'm not a whale by any means, so I'll wait.

His PC is very similar to mine, I stopped upgrading with the GTX 970, because there has not been any incentive to do so. It plays recent titles just fine, at 1440x900.

His performance is likely on par with the Steam Deck.

You weren't the one flaunting on how you've thousands spare to spend if "The steam deck wasn't junk" though. It's fine of people have low tier systems, not so fine when they make up BS and lies.

Well, by this point, OP may have enough points to get a steamdeck
