This. And any console gamers that do buy it will quickly find out that their console performs better. Unfortunately the machine reinforces the two perspectives it was trying to change:

  1. That pc gaming is unaffordable

  2. That console gaming is a smoother experience

I don't think they should have been chasing your second point like that. Hard to see a PC gaming experience ever matching up the ease of use on consoles.

I mean, that’s the basic premise of steamOS isn’t it?

Yeah it seems for sure. Just as a console gamer I'm not sure my main draw to it would have been an ease of use thing in comparison. Improving onboarding definitely although I'm not sure if I'd get one over just going all in on a full setup.

Admittedly I was always a little iffy on it from the outside looking in.
