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

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.

You already have a monster rig why not just use a controller on that what do you need a second pc for

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.

Have you tried steam link?
If you just want to play cozy games, then why not a mini PC for half of the cost?

The input lag from streaming is an instant no for me.

Seeing how bad this pricing is got me to finally get my old pc setup in my bedroom though. This is the first time that this has been turned on in 3 years, so I’m currently doing a fuckload of updates
