  Thank you, AI companies. Not only have you monopolized the stock market, you have stifled technological innovation.

  Whenever parts go up, it impacts pricing. Whenever parts go down, it impacts profit

  I wish they’d at least release the controller. I know they probably want to do it all at once but that shouldn’t be delayed with the rest of it if that’s all I want.

    I hope that’s what they’ll to. The controller is all I need right now; if prices weren’t so fucked I’d get a Steam Frame but nah

      I’m also really jonesing for the controller. Tho I have a few dualsense and xbox controllers so I don’t NEED it exactly. especially since I’m basically only playing Space Station 14 lately which very much requires keyboard and mouse

  Fuck I was so eager for the frame, but as a standalone device it’ll surely be impacted as well…

    Yeah my first thought was that Frame should be ok since my intended use-case was “connected to Steam PC via the wireless transceiver” but then I AI remembered it can run standalone so would also need storage, RAM, and a strong enough processor to handle all that.

    Now I’m kinda thinking it would be cool if the Frame was more like an updated Index with wireless, local tracking etc etc and an optional daughter-board - for standalone gameplay functionality - that could be connected later or even allow upgrades.

  Gabe should sell a few yachts so he can buy up some ram.

    He could probably get at least 128GB of DDR5 for one of them.
