It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine
It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine
With all the layoffs and industry volatility, I think now is a great time to consider bringing back the Steam Machine, with a few changes.
You're viewing a single thread.
Makes sense, except for "one model". I think it would be better to have two options.
One low cost, thinking mini pc with integrated gpu (like steamdeck) for casual gamers, 2d gaming, old game(r)s, etc. Would also be perfect as "home office" PC or media consumption device.
Second one would be bigger and stronger with dedicated GPU capable of "real" gaming and running all the modern games. Yes, powerful hardware is expensive, but serious gaming is no cheap thing...
I would argue the low cost option is already serviced by the Steam deck.
Yep, I would buy steamdeck for that purpose except I'd feel it could be even cheaper as a simple and more convenient small brick without fancy display and controls.
They could do that, just release a mini pc with the Deck's hardware but without the screen and controller. It should be cheaper.
I would buy it instantly for my daughter.
They could make it the steam hardware without controller, screen and battery.
I want one that is PCVR ready. sigh
is VR support good on proton nowadays?
