The Steam Machine is a big deal!

https://youtube.com/shorts/q45G7fl4FAg?si=_I3dFoJsT6R8v6U9 https://youtube.com/shorts/mQC5zkicC3g?si=Y1KUTev541j0MxyK Steam is single-handedly gonna lay the law down for what the people deserve and put it to these greedy gaming corporations!!! Let’s hope its pricing is better than all the competition(it probably will be).

    If it's a plug and play type deal I might get one... big reason why I don't have a computer I don't want to spend double or triple the initial cost upgrading the thing every 3 months... Especially if I don't have to have a subscription for itto work

    • It definitely can be, but it always pays to wait and see.

    • I'm interested in the steam frame but I can't see steam machines being a massive success unless it nails the price point.

      • Ehh, I already have a pc and I already have a console. I don’t quite see what their target audience is tbh. Anything it plays will run better on pc anyways

      • Hype is the mind killer. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see Steam shakeup the console space, I'd be even happier to see SteamOS shake up the PC space, but don't count your chickens before they're hatched. We still haven't seen benchmarks; if the new Steam box plays console games better than the consoles do, we'll be in for a wild ride.

          I'm skeptical until i see the price honestly. Consoles are only cheaper than a PC because manufacturers sell them at a loss expecting people to buy games from their store, and there's a quote from Valve in the LTT video stating that they expected to price it as a PC, not a console.

          • I don't see how a streaming box is going to revolutionize my gaming. I've also not been looking into this too heavily.

            Given how competitive the steam deck is I’m sure the steam machine is gonna be good price-wise, but the crux will be what it’s actually competing with. Because I’d be surprised if it’s going after the high-spec PC market, but then would it really be going after the likes of PS6 or whatever the next Xbox is? So maybe the idea is a lower-budget gaming laptop or mini-PC, which would make more sense. As a gaming laptop owner I would happily swap it for a steam machine if it was similar spec-wise. At least when the deck was released it was pretty much the only thing in its category unless you count the Switch. But it really does depend on the price.
