about the steam machine/gabecube

[e]

is anyone hyped about it?
do you think the desktop mode/linux implemented in it is good?
and since it has the same specs as the steam deck, do you think it will be the same price as the steam deck?

[xrossmediabar]

not hyped. i wont be buying it since all my pc gaming is just emulation.
but steam machine is a daft punk refernce yay

I already have a Steam Deck and a PC, so I won't buy it, however I think it could be a good PC for some people. I think what Valve is trying to do is make PC gaming more accessible to more people, like console players, and I think SteamOS is pretty good at that.

however it might fit as a console for those who dont like handheld stuff
and i dont know anyone who hates them
anyways, it's a Personal Console™.

I'm hyped about it, but not interested in buying one. I spend tons of money on my PC, so I don't need something comparatively underpowered. What hypes me up is that it indicates Valve is going to go much harder into making gaming on Linux even easier than it is now. Proton is awesome now but with the Steam Machine, they will surely put more resources into it than they have already since the Steam Deck came on board.

yeah, me neither.
why would you want a steam deck or steam machine (aka "GabeCube") when you have a good pc with steam running great on it?

some people don’t have an excellent gaming PC, or can’t afford one even if they wanted to, so the steam machine could be a godsend for them. but i don’t need one, personally
