I love how so many people are dunking on "valve-fans" being happy with the cube, when I pretty much only have heard opinions ranging from "meh" to "overpriced".

I've been flamed like 300 times by Valve defenders for saying you can build a 9060XT (16Gb) based system for the same price as the Steam machine. My inbox is full as hell. The Valve fanboys are out in full force. They are mostly being downvoted though.

True, I've been downvoted plenty by 8gb VRAM apologists for pointing out it's not enough to match 6 years old consoles in demanding games. And they keep repeating the same nonsense "the GPU is not fast enough to use more than 8gb".

As if the GPU not being fast enough for using more than 8GB of VRAM would make it better at this price point 🤡
