I love basically everything Valve does and Steam is like my favorite thing ever, but I don't really understand what all this steambox/steam machine stuff is about. Can someone explain?

BIGRAM killed it. 3060 performance means you will get good perf on esports and pretty much thats it. $1000 isn't even THAT bad, but would be a decent buy at $600-$700 MAX

GN review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66QzlDewigE

the steam controller is overpriced as well. would be worth it at around $50-60

I don't think this can even play most competitive esports titles because it's Linux. you would need to install Windows on it at least and then you would be dumping SteamOS which is kinda the whole appeal of this thing.

esports run on fucking ANYTHING. a 3060 can handle anything at 1080 EAZY-E.

hell, even my laptop 3060 stays at QHD 240hz 85% of the time. low settings obv.

in valve's case this is a feature, not a bug. "just play cs/dota/deadlock, bro"

actually, I've been seeing games like overwatch and apex legends on steam recently. still don't think you can launch them on SteamOS/Linux though.

proton makes the linux worry moot anyways. biggest issue is pricing. adoption will be slow unless this thing goes on sale, which im guessing will happen as we approach november

he's talking about games like valorant which you can't play on linux because they force you to use a windows-only anticheat. iirc they will ban you even if you try to play through a VM

steamOS is just Fisher Price linux (it's Arch and KDE if you've heard of those, if not you'd need a few months of HRT to get up to speed)

it's 'better' than windows because windows has AIDS and other unknown diseases from the jeet monkeys working at microsoft

biggest problem with the steam machine is that it is basically targeting PC desktop users instead of console users

people like me who exclusively game on PC will obv not be switching to a fucking $1000 3060 SFF pc. console users won't switch either bc even after xbox/ps5 increased prices, theyre still cheaper
