Rekall IncorporatedSteam Machine and Steam Frame delays are the latest product of the RAM crisis
Valve says it still hopes to ship both devices “in the first half of the year.”
tekatoCool excuse. If they were actually serious about releasing early 2026, they would’ve had these memory deals secured months ago. What’s the excuse for the new Steam Controller? I guess they can’t blame RAM for that one so they just didn’t mention it. lol
renegadesporkYou underestimate how long custom hardware takes to produce. Supply chain issues hit the consumer well after they became a problem for manufacturers.
It’s likely Valve has been struggling securing RAM supply since well before the announcement, which is why the announcement didn’t come with a launch date or a price. Valve was noticeably responded, “we’ll see” when asked about those factors, because they were clearly still struggling securing capacity at a reasonable price.
The average person would rather be a negative nancy than try to understand what buisnesses actually have to deal with things.
