Steam Machine Pricing Noise

There's a lot of noise out there about what price the Steam Machine will be, and that they have mentioned it will be closer to PC pricing. One such article is from Vice: https://www.vice.com/en/article/valve-finally-confirms-leaked-steam-machine-price-rumors/

During the November 22 Friends Per Second podcast episode, Valve developer Pierre-Loup Griffais addressed speculation about the console’s pricing. “No, it’s more in line with what you might expect from the current PC market.

I do have some concerns that Valve are going to swing and miss here. But I'm still hopeful. Just release the actual pricing. Because until I actually KNOW what's on offer and for exactly how much, it's not like you're getting a sale.

<rant> This is something I really don't understand about marketing these days. “Ooooh, something fun and exciting is coming” emails and messages for months. The more shit you send me like that, the less excited I'm getting. You're just getting on my nerves. You send me a single email to tell me what it is, and I'll tell you whether I'm excited. Look how much time we just saved. </rant>
