They should try and get GTA, Fornite, COD and Battlefield to work on Steam OS as those are pretty big games to not have working out the box because of anti-cheat software being supported on Steam OS.
The steam machine is back y’all -new controller, VR headset, game console

“Consumer friendly?”
That’s why they held off to let the rubes get gassed up so when they announce it’s coming in hot at 899 they can coast off the goodwill.

I know PC fans want this to do good (shyt, I want it to do good, and for devs to begin supporting linux more, fukk a anti cheat). Unfortunately It‘s going to fail. Simple as that. It will do better than the steam machine from ten years ago for sure. But in the grand scheme of things. Microsoft, as much as people hate them, and Windows. I believe they’re going to slime Valve out (and ironically one of the reasons will be because of Windows, the os everyone claim they hate). I bet once the price is revealed for this (not saying a price is a concern). People’s hype is going to plummet. I wish people would keep it 100 about the specs right now though. I’m sure they will once they see the price.
Even if you can install windows, other storefronts etc on this. It won’t make a splash. People want it to succeed but won’t go out and buy it. Mad content creators acting like this shyt is going to be the console killswitch or something (they’re fronting for views, and to stay in peoples good graces). Not trying to sound negative. I just know it‘s going to be an uphill battle. This shyt will deadass have to start at $299 to $399 to do something. And that’s crack prices, and wouldn’t make any sense for them. But at the same time. Anything $599 up won’t be a competitive enough price imo.
Final predictions: $449 for the base & $549 for the 2tb which would be passable (as long as it comes with the controller
)
