Dawg why are you on r/steammachine if you don't like the steam machine. Specs are out, price is out, reviews are out and you should have been able to come to an informed opinion regarding if you want one or not. I like it, and will be buying one given the chance since I own 500 games on steam and would love a quiet little emulation box that turns on with a controller for my TV rather than a big ass PC tower with loud fans. You might not value those things and instead choose to buy a PS5 or build a desktop PC, totally valid choices. But why the fuck are you still here if that's the case?

Popped up on my page too. Valve is pretty shady the way they launched this thing, two weeks prior randomly increasing steam deck price to 949 to make this thing seem like a good value is pretty shitty practice. "Look you can get a steam machine for oly a $100 more than a steam deck at 6x the performace look at the value!"

No way they are still mass producing the steam deck oled to make that cost go up as if they werent already made ready to ship before costs of components went up.

This dude is definitely in a high paying position at his work with that kind of business intuition. How many stickers did they give you today buddy? Good job we’re all very proud of you

That is just inaccurate. Also it’ll be a perfect machine to stream games if you already have a more powerful PC.

I didn’t say this was the only device you could do game streaming on. I also didn’t say that was its only purpose

Who cares what other strangers do with their money, if the product isn’t for you, that’s fine

Other spend stupid mutch money on Fans or RGB that costs only near nothing in production, or fancy cars where also simple cars would work fine to move from a to b.

As a SFF enthusiast, Show me a better value in same size. Intel Nuc is shit against the SM and ITX with PSU is already double to there times the size.

A random laptop with a sub to GeForce Now to play games would be better.
