I have heard their strategy, it's not some new thing to me. I fully understand it's their choice. However for me it's a matter of principle.

It is half the price of an “AAA” game with 6 hours of campaign.

No, it's about 1.5-2x times more expensive than the same AAA game after 4 years and a summer sale.

Cheaper alternative: flash existing router with DD-WRT or OpenWRT and access advanced features for free.

The full quote is

We’re not going to do a bump every year. There’s no reason to do that. And, honestly, from our perspective, that’s kind of not really fair to your customers to come out with something so soon that’s only incrementally better. So we really do want to wait for a generational leap in compute without sacrificing battery life before we ship the real second generation of Steam Deck. But it is something that we’re excited about and we’re working on.

The key to understanding this quote is realizing that they aren't talking about "years" from the OLED release, but the original hardware release, as the performance is identical. The original hardware is 3 years old already (the deck was delayed by software issues, but the hardware was already piling up in warehouses 3 years ago). Thus this statement is simply stating what we already know (and saw with our own eyes) - it is not a guarantee that we won't see a Deck 2 announcement tomorrow.

the controllers look exactly like the $250 controllers, not some imaginary thin in between products.

[–] sudoku 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Quest 2 controllers cost $70 and Quest Pro controllers (which have their own tracking, just like this) cost $250. Considering $250 is the "early bird" price for Vision controllers and the retail price will be $370, it's not "cheap" in any way.

lol, more like decreasing it to 500-600€.

 

There are many ways and tools to choose your next device, but some are better than others. How do you do it?

I'll begin - I tend to use Kimovil, however it lacks pricing for many devices and thus makes the process harder. Has many filters though, from headphone jack to different 5G and 4G bands.
