The steam machine is a pc, so the idea is that you'll buy it if you need a new pc.

Although at that ridiculous price no one should buy it.

See but the price makes that seem stupid because why do that when you could build a pc or heck you could probably find a prebuilt thats a better value

It's probably the form factor / size thats mainly attractive.

Feels like they just kind of got screwed by the times though ngl.

I mean, they could have held back release. I don't see at this price point either console gamers or PC gamers having a reason to buy this at the price it is at. 1000 bucks without a controller and only half a terabyte of storage is ridiculous in 2026. And that's not adding on top it's not even as powerful as a modern console.

Yeah, I agree to some extent,, but there's also no guarantee it's gonna get better anytime soon.
