\u24d8 Epic Games, Valve<\/p>\n

Epic Games chef Tim Sweeney anser att Valve kunde ha undvikit pris\u00f6kningen p\u00e5 Steam Deck. Han \u00e4r en regelbunden kritiker av Gabe Newell och h\u00e4vdar att medgrundaren borde betala de h\u00f6gre komponentkostnaderna. Sweeney har f\u00f6rd\u00f6mt den dominerande marknadsplatsen f\u00f6r att utnyttja k\u00f6pare och utvecklare. <\/p>\n

Epic Games VD Tim Sweeney<\/a> har en omtvistad historia med Valve. Det \u00e4r inte f\u00f6rv\u00e5nande d\u00e5 att han skulle chime in p\u00e5 den senaste tiden Steam Deck pris\u00f6kning<\/a>. P\u00e5 sociala medier kritiserade han sarkastiskt flytten och h\u00e4vdade att Gabe Newell<\/a> b\u00f6r absorbera stigande komponentkostnader<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Sweeney delade ett Pirat_Nation-inl\u00e4gg<\/a> som spekulerade om en $ 1500 Pris f\u00f6r \u00e5ngmaskin<\/a>. Mini-datorn kan ocks\u00e5 levereras f\u00f6r en h\u00f6gre MSRP \u00e4n v\u00e4ntat p\u00e5 sitt oannonserade sl\u00e4ppdatum. F\u00f6r n\u00e4rvarande vet k\u00f6pare bara att Steam Deck OLED 1TB<\/a> \u00e4r $949, medan 512GB-versionen \u00e4r $789. Det \u00e4r betydande h\u00f6jningar p\u00e5 $ 300 och $ 240 p\u00e5 spelhanddatorerna. <\/p>\n

Var Valves pris\u00f6kningar f\u00f6r allvarliga?<\/p>\n

Epic Games-chefen erk\u00e4nner komponentbristen som Valve anv\u00e4nde f\u00f6r att motivera f\u00f6r\u00e4ndringarna. Han r\u00e4knar dock med att ”Steam-kundutgifter i slut\u00e4ndan finansierar” delarna. Med sin popul\u00e4ra marknadsplats<\/a>tror vissa analytiker att f\u00f6retaget tj\u00e4nar minst 10 miljarder dollar i int\u00e4kter varje \u00e5r.<\/p>\n

I inl\u00e4gget, som \u00e4r en pik till majoritets\u00e4garen Gabe Newell, st\u00e5r det snarkigt att ”leveranskedjan f\u00f6r megayachter” ocks\u00e5 har st\u00f6rts. Newell njuter av att slappa p\u00e5 de enorma b\u00e5tarna, som ses som symboler f\u00f6r hans enorma rikedom. N\u00e4r han kryssar g\u00f6r han s\u00e4llan kontroversiella offentliga uttalanden. <\/p>\n

Reaktionen p\u00e5 Steam Decks prish\u00f6jning har varit \u00f6verv\u00e4ldigande negativ. \u00c4ven om spelhanddatorer fr\u00e5n Lenovo<\/a> och MSI nu \u00e4r dyrare, \u00e4r Asus ROG Xbox Ally<\/a> ut som ett fynd. Det har ocks\u00e5 v\u00e4ckt oro \u00f6ver Steam Machine, som m\u00e5nga insiders f\u00f6rv\u00e4ntar sig att s\u00e4lja f\u00f6r l\u00e5ngt \u00f6ver $ 1000<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Sweeneys kritik sl\u00e5r tillbaka<\/p>\n

Trots uppr\u00f6rdheten hittade Sweeney inte mycket st\u00f6d p\u00e5 sociala medier. Spelare anklagar honom f\u00f6r sina egna d\u00e5liga aff\u00e4rsmetoder, inklusive flera omg\u00e5ngar av upps\u00e4gningar p\u00e5 Epic Games<\/a>. Andra fans tror att VD \u00e4r avundsjuk p\u00e5 \u00f6verl\u00e4gsna Steam-startprogrammet<\/a> och dess anslutna blomstrande samh\u00e4llen. <\/p>\n

I sj\u00e4lva verket kan kritiken ha lite att g\u00f6ra med kostnaden f\u00f6r Steam Deck och Steam Machine. Sweeney har attackerat Newells f\u00f6retag f\u00f6r att ha ett monopol p\u00e5 marknadsplatser f\u00f6r digitala spel<\/a>.<\/p>\n
