Ah the rampocalypse Strikes again. Que lástima.
Overrated. Better off buying just buying a budget PC you can upgrade down the line, and Dual Boot SteamOS.
They should have named it the “Steam Engine”.
Nope. Just get a PC.
How much of this pricing is caused by Tariffs, Iran and AI sucking up all the GPUs?
Lol 1050 is actually less than I expected
I'd buy this before a PS5 Pro or PS6. Rapidly losing faith PlayStation.
That price is crazy. Fuck data centers and this AI bullshit.
my five year old xbox was half the price and can probably still run laps around this thing. but i appreciate the design and love when valve does hardware so i hope they iterate on the steam machine more or something to give a reason to buy. i’d still rather get the Framework desktop over this
Le Sigh…
lol no thanks
Why not buy a PC at that point?
Take care of your hardware people clean it love it like a family member you might not be able to afford a replacement lol 😆 😄 😅
The future of gaming looks bleak. Hardware means little with AI Slopification of the actual games. I do hope Steam figures out that some restrictions are acceptable. It's crazy how much malicious code gets uploaded to Steam as a game. Never happens to actual console gamers.
Does it cost so much due to its sleek design and color scheme?
$1000 for a console is insane.
Wow!
