白嫖王：Steam Machine不會走主機定價策略 定價預估不會低於500美元

最近一期節目中Linus透露了一些和Staem Machine團隊對談中涉及定價的細節：

Staem Machine基本上就是一台配置了 Ryzen 7600 CPU 和 Radeon 7600M GPU的電腦。性能並不出眾。
Linus也不知道具體定價多少。他認為SteamMachine應該採用主機定價策略，即硬件的部分成本靠SteamStore的遊戲銷售佣金的收入分擔，但他預計的500美元“主機級”定價和SteamMachine團隊的想法存在明顯差異。
他最後表示用高於PS5的價格去銷售一台“2020年配置”（基礎版PS5配置相似）的PC的銷售策略會令人失望

部分原文
“So basically, it's a 7600 CPU and a 7600 GPU. This is not a super powerful machine. Valve is upfront saying that they are going to be relying on FSR in order to achieve 4K. And even then man, like 8 gigs of VRAM, anyone else would be taking a ton of flak for shipping a game console today with 8 gigs of VRAM.
“I can’t tell you what the price will be because I literally don't know but, when I said, ‘I'm disappointed that it isn't going to follow a console pricing model where it's subsidized by the fact that the 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 kind of asked what I meant by, well, ‘what do you mean by console price?’ And I said, ‘Well, $500.’
“Nobody said anything, but the energy of the room wasn't great.”
