Classic Valve move, tease neat hardware then tuck tail when real-world supply chains hit. Yes, RAM and SSD prices are bonkers right now, but I still think they should have either locked suppliers before announcing or waited to show anything that needs a launch window. Saying “first half of the year” with no prices feels like selling hype, not products.
That said, the controller looks awesome and foveated streaming is actually a clever idea that could help these boxes punch above their weight. If they share CAD and let the community mod faceplates, I will forgive them slightly. But I’m not holding my breath for H1 deliveries, not unless prices calm or they get lucky with parts.
