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.

I don't want to look at other options of handhelds, i don't want to see what competition wants to offer cause that will make me less passionate about steam deck, Im only doing any of this cause i care not cause i want to see anything fail. if i didn't care i wouldn't bother looking or posting,

This is all you needed to say to prove to everyone that it is a waste of time responding or trying to educate you.

Thank you for confirming my comments even further.

Ah yes, people don't agree with me, they must be paid shills for Valve...

Keep trying, I want to see how many foolish tropes you can fall back on to dismiss valid criticisms of your ideas and claims.

Did you get your Valve cheque in the mail this week? I must’ve miss mine. :lunar2019crylaughingpig:

Hats off for Valve for equally paying off everyone on the Steam Deck Reddit and Discord. They really care about the community.

You guys are getting paid?

steam can pay me by lowing the price of steam deck and making vr games free, other then that i don't want steams money however the intellectual developments that steam can help the gaming entertainment world are far more valid then currency.

39 cents and one KitKat stick - its a pretty reasonable rate when compared to other tech companies.

You need to talk to HR.

you could get the outer shell for about $200. nothing in side, and no screen.

If you want a streaming device get the Logitech G Cloud device which is

$350 MSRP

Good luck getting that below $200

For anyone wanting context of OP, here they are in the thread I am referencing in my comment.

Wonder why the discussion wasn't kept in there. Though, I kind of wonder by OPs thread creation history if this is trolling around or not.

People wanting a lower base deck price have been repeatedly told Valve has stated it is "painful" to sell at the base price. Anything lower is most likely going to be a high net loss, which means there'd be zero point in selling it.

The continued claim by OP is also why I wonder if this is just trolling and not having a legitimate discussion on the subject, given the frequency of conspiracies.

Developers set the price of their games/software.

Anyway, it's a handheld device and should be treated as such with the expected performance of such. Trying unsupported things is strictly on those that attempt it.

Says the person who has never even seen a Steam Deck in their life.
I own one. It runs games natively just fine, including AAA games.

What you saw previously was just the Steam Deck menu. If you go into the menu to browse your library while a game is still running, the "play" button changes to a "resume" button. You can also just hit the power button mid game to suspend it and put your Deck to sleep. If you hit the power button again, you'll pick right up where you left off.

I wish I could just come to your house, put a Steam Deck in your hands and let you have a go. It's extremely obvious that you want one, can't or don't want to pay $400 for one, so you're desperately looking for reasons to justify to yourself that you don't actually want one. The very definition of sour grapes.

I am not much of a hand-held gamer, but from a technical perspective; I'v been looking at the blueprints of the Steam Deck, in the current market it is actually a good deal if I take a look at the parts only, with a little more knowledge it is possible to do much more with it.

Sure, there are plenty of things that can be improved, the thing is, you will see the "premium" parts back in the price, at a much, much higher price.

Looking at the raw specs only tells half the story. The software was made specifically for the hardware which makes a world of difference in the performance.

If you can’t afford a steam deck you would never afford it’s competition either. Most of those other handhelds don’t even perform better than the deck either.

I see it as $299.

Even then, a $50 price drop just 3 months after release? Doesn't seem to be catching on so well. People just don't like streaming their games, they prefer to play natively on their own hardware, like the Steam Deck can do.

OnLive - Dead
Stadia - Dead
Nvidia Game Stream - Dead

What's next?

Do you want to know why it’s 250.00? Because it’s garbage and still new on the market, yet some place is selling it at 50.00 cheaper
