Rumor: Steam Machine $499 with a AMD Radeon R9 270. RIP PS4 And XboxOne If True

[hex]

There doesnt need to be a Madden or Gears for a particular platform to exist. But when you are trying to convince people who are fans of those particular games to jump to a different platform there has to be a Gears or Madden equivalent. PC gaming exists because there is a market for PC games.

You say the people who are interested in this have been for years and we are asking who those people are.

I don't have a crystal ball. You keep asking me to quantify a group of people that doesn't even have access to the product yet.

I assume the same people interested in this, are the consoles gamers that sit on this board and ask about gaming PCs. Or PC gamers looking for a cheap upgrade. Or people on the fence about PC gaming in general.

And like I said, you're operating under the false assumption that Valve needs to convince console gamers to buy this. Valve in all likelihood doesn't give a fukk either way about console gamers. Like I said earlier, this is like asking if an independent rapper cares about the millions of fans Eminem or Taylor Swift has. Would the independent rapper like a few of those fans? Obviously. Are they going to go out of their way to reach them? No. Will it ultimately affect their success and career either way? No.

Fred.

Steam Fall Sale starts soon

(I think tomorrow was the rumor)

 

[Renegade_Django]

All I know us that as someone who is comfortable with a controller out plays some fps on PC, I can't wait to get my hands on the steam controller might not equal k&m but the shyt going close the gap for sure

 

[itsyoung!!]

only on the arcadium is PC gaming (the most popular gaming platform) is less wanted/popular than consoles

Theres probably more people playing League of Legends and DOTA 2 world wide combined right now than all consoles population playing past gen and new gen right now combined

But no one cares about PC gaming

Theres more people WATCHING people playing League of Legends RIGHT NOW than people playing Call of duty ghosts

But PC gaming is dying

Just 2 years ago World of Warcraft had 12 MILLION PEOPLE PAYING $15 A MONTH TO PLAY IT

Wrap ya mind around that...






























but no one cares about PC gaming

 

[itsyoung!!]

Bruh, dont nobody who goes outside the house give a shyt about DOTA, LOL, or whatever other strategy games Koreans are dying in cafes over.

shout out to all the call of duty players who reach max rank in a week , every call of duty , every year

With these underpowered consoles, I think Sony and MS has left the door wide open for the PC to strut in.

I watch streams damn near more than I play... xbox1 and ps4 are really not well received in the competitive console gaming community. Cant speak on casual console fans who play 2 hours a week cause i dont know that crowd


I was surprised that the only real cash tournament for Battlefield 4 was for PC ($175,000) even though it sold more on console.. to me that says a lot. If some tournament ends up throwing a large cash tournament for call of duty ghosts for PC, itll be a wrap for consoles

You arguing against a stance nobody is taking. This isn't about how popular PC gaming is, it's who is in the market for a steam box. Those millions of people playing LOL and DOTA aren't that market.

Bingo, it's a gateway machine into pc gaming. Did they say how you would be able to play EA games with the Steambox due to Origin?

Fam don't bother tryna reason with these lame ass console stans...They are by far the most nonsensical and idiotic groupies on these forums...They still think PC gaming only works with a keyboard mouse and you have sit two feet in front of a 19 inch monitor...

Gabe da gawd about to shyt on the console industry something serious...

and on that note...its steam sale time brehs...

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

PC is the only platform with real cash tournaments

and has the most popular games in the world

I never understood the console argument that no one going crazy or cares about pc gaming when reality is the opposite

Ok, because nikkas camp out for PC gaming and what not.
