YouTube star LinusTechTips has revealed that Valve wasn’t overly impressed with his suggestion of a $500 price tag for the dubbed Steam Console.

“I can’t tell you what the price will be, because I literally don’t know,” he said on the November 15 episode of the WAN show.

“When I said I’m disappointed it isn’t going to follow a console pricing model, where its subsided by the fact that manufacturer is going to be taking 30% of every game sold on it over the lifespan of this thing, because I feel that would be a more meaningful product, they asked what I meant by console price and I said $500. Nobody said anything, but the energy in the room wasn’t great.”

Try again with healthcare or some other place.
Stingy af.

You think healthcare businesses (I forget healthcare is a business in America, sorry) would be caught using Steam Machines as work stations? They would risk ridicule. Wouldn’t be taken seriously.

Stop assuming everyone is US please.

Healthcare around the world is stingy.
They try to get around buying high capacity backup drives because they paid 200€ for 5 1TB HDDs 6 years ago.

I didn’t, and usually don’t, so that’s all good and fine. 👍

I will highly doubt any place would do this. Nobody making these decisions knows enough about computer performance, I bet you. Government decision makers don’t, for sure. 😆
