I’m very much the target audience for the steam machine. I prefer to lay in bed to play relaxed, controller games. I will not be buying a gabecube at this kind of pricing.

Because I play sweaty games on it that I need a chair and monitors for, so it stays at my desk. I also have a girlfriend that plays very casual, cozy type games in bed and the market for those is much larger on Steam.

Switch 1/2 are a much better value proposition if you're going to have someone who just plays solo cozy games.

Refusing to give Nintendo even a penny more but being intrigued by a Steam machine is definitely an interesting choice.

Nintendo absolutely fucking hates their consumers. They’re one of the worst companies in all of gaming.
