270 euro 10 years ago but yeah.

It's unclear to me what your point is.

Is it that this is roughly equivalent to €345 today, and we should point out the current worth?

Or is it that the purchasers go 10 years of value for €270 and so this is a big nothing burger?

A bit of the 2nd.

Beyond that: the streaming quality on them is poor compared to anything modern.

But mostly pointing out that it's not modern €270 - an equivalently high end camera today is like €90 and a 1:1 replacement in terms of quality is like 20€.

"€20 Fully Functional Nest Dropcam Support ceased after 10 years" doesn't have the same punch.
