Really? It's a con that you can't get less than 512gb? If less storage was offered they'd just swap to "not enough storage in the base model." I can't take this seriously.

Maybe. But let's judge based on what was actually written instead of a different theoretical article.

An additional smaller storage model that is cheaper is objectively a good thing. Not having that available means fewer choices for consumers.

The cheapest 256 SATA SSD i can find is 15€. The cheapest 512 GB is 24€. That's a 9€ difference for double the capacity at retail prices. I can only imagine how marginal the cost savings for a big manufacturer like valve would be.

Thanks, that's a legitimate point. It wouldn't be worthwhile to make them smaller for practically no difference in cost.

I don't know what this "different theoretical article" is.
