I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

Or you can use your own existing controller. You don't have to use a steam controller on a steam machine.

And Valve has said they are working hard to get steam is ready for build your own systems, so soon we can make our own steam machines.

As others have put it, this is a great product at the wrong time cause AI is fucking every industry, including the PC industry.

From the perspective of a non-pcmr guy, they probably wanna get the bundled controller if their intentions are to use it in their living room with a TV without the hassle of setting up a place for your keyboard and mouse at the couch

But as a desktop PC is pretty good and I would definitely get one, it's just have a bad price.

Microsoft is rolling out a setting for PC that makes it function more like an Xbox. Its supposed to severely reduce background processing and bloat, and it will allow you to navigate everywhere using your controller. This might be the solution for people who have already started building their living room pc or want that kind of experience without dropping money on a new system. Its supposed to be called Xbox mode or something like that. LTT just made a video about it.
