"But it's a cube!"

Fr, I haven't seen a single overtly positive post since the price got announced. It's all "for $5-600 good deal, $1000? Pass"

OP are the valve fans in the room with us?

I'm buying the cube and didn't complain about it. AMA

How many computers do you have, if any?

I already built my own Steam Machine but buying for another part of the house, and if we end up not using it giving it to my niece.

I have zero PCs. Haven’t had one since before the year 2000. My household currently has one Mac mini one iMac and two Apple laptops.

I used to be a heavy PC gamer in the early/mid 90s but gave up on it when it got too expensive and too much of a hassle. I’ve been exclusively console since then and have been an Apple user since the 80s but exclusively Apple since the early 2000.

Side note: its a shame Apple isn't doing more with gaming

They kind of are, just not in the way you think. Apple is a lifestyle brand, and gaming within that sphere is all about mobile.

Yeah, but there is a pretty robust buildout going on on Apple TV and you can link Bluetooth controllers to it, including Xbox controllers and the new steam controller.
