It's a console for people who like PCs
And a PC for people who like consoles
Exactly. I have a PC and a Steam Deck but I'll buy it if the price isn't completely off-putting. It's just perfect for the living room.
You'd think those people would already have a PC...
Not one hooked up to their TV
May I introduce you to Sunshine and Moonlight.
No, I’m not asking you to open your curtains. Long as you have a good connection between your PC and TV, and some small TV device, you can play a lot that way.
Yeah but its a pita sometimes with controls and stuff.
Ever heard of an HDMI cable?
Obligatory fuck HDMI, but yeah
Why don't they hook it to their TV then?
It's in the other room
Why don't they just merge the rooms then?
Why doesn’t the larger room just eat the smaller room?
That's a load bearing wall.
My computer is at least 12 years old by now and according to the Steam hardware survey the majority of people on Steam has a PC that is worse than the Steam Machine. I might get one as my new desktop if the price is now too high.
You can pretty easily just build an itx system and install linux on it. It might be a bit bigger, yes, but it'd also be easier to fix and upgrade. I believe the only thing you can change in the steam machine is the storage.
More developers will specifically test on your setup if you have a Steam Machine.
Unlike your itx system, the steammachine is going to be reference hardware, much like how games got a Steamdeck profile, there will be games with a Steammachine profile.
That's literally not a selling point imo. Also, I've literally never used a "steamdeck" preset on my steam deck.
You don't think games optimized for a Steam Machine isn't going to be a selling point?
And just because you haven't manually used a Steamdeck preset, I'm willing to bet that the game did it for you.
The settings are optimized, not the game itself. There's quite a big difference between those two. Why are you assuming that there would be special versions of games for the steam machine if there aren't any for the steam deck?
And no, if I tell you that I've never used a steam deck preset, it's because I haven't. I always tweak the settings myself or at the very least check them.
