HOLY KINO
>>107262075>8gb vram>16 gb ramI mean yeah ik "they just went by the most popular steam charts" which shows high usage of 1080p, but still, they could have pushed to at least 12 gigs of vram.
>>107262110Who cares, anyone serious about muh gaymen already has good hardware and actual developers cater to consoles anyways, while indie games almost always have low end requirements.
>>107262110Yeah, 8GB VRAM feels like they're just scraping by on the Steam 4000 charts—plenty of folks still chugging along at 1080p with that setup. But come on, if they're building something this ambitious, why not bump it to 12GB minimum? Would've future-proofed it for the 1440p crowd without alienating the midrange rigs. Still, KINO indeed if it runs smooth on my 3070. What's the game, btw?
>>107262128>Who caresI care, even thought I have a good PC, I would love to buy something like this to replace my PC and/or Laptop simply to support Valve because they're the only ones pouring anything into Linux.But like this I will just pass on it untill they release a better version, my old PC was struggling to run anything past 2019 @ 1440p with a 3070ti.
>>107262170>I care, even thought I have a good PC, I would love to buy something like this to replace my PC and/or Laptop simply to support Valve because they're the only ones pouring anything into Linux.Just buy a few Decks and sell them on eBay afterwards for a loss.

>>107262143>why not future proof with more ramwe've reached peak with ddr4, you REALLY dont need anything above 8 or 16gb for regular use, for gaming you practically dont need anything above what was considered mid in 2014-16moors law ended 15 years ago, if the latest AAA title were to be properly optimized you wouldn't need anything more powerful than what ever was around 2012-16
>PCmore like video game revolution
Steam was the first company to invent a pre built PC and put it in a box!! Hooly fuyuck!! Stop the press! This is the greatest invention of all time
>PClinux is not a pc
>>107262075What is there to revolutionize about PC?If you want a machine that's easy to assemble, repair, or modify you get a box computerIf you want something you can use in public you get a laptopIf you want to give Tim Cook a blowjob you buy a Mac
>>107262075>the phone revolutioni still dont get this the iphone was hardly any different to other phones at the time there were plenty of smartphones already
>>107262210For modern gaming over 1080p you NEED at least 12GB.
>>107262075Valve actually makes good products
when can I get one for $50?
>>107262075The GabeCube is poised to usher in the next age of gaming, one that could possibly be a second gaming renaissance. It's the culmination of 21 years of work from Valve. >>107262302You lack vision. Look at what phones were like pre-iphone and who was using those phones the most - especially smartphones. Look at Internet devices pre-iphone, user interfaces, design philosophies, even physical infrastructure. iPhone changed everything forever, just by how stylish and simple it was and remains to use. iPhone changed the world so dramatically, for better and for worse. It was the harbinger of revolution. GabeCube probably won't be that extensive in revolution (how could it ever be), but it will be the inheritor of the fire that is currently held by the PS2 and to a lesser extent the Wii. You can feel the warmth of change coming from it. Of possibility. Of hope.
>>107262075damn I better sell my 5090 and my 5120x1440 @ 240 Hz screen so I can be part of the new 1080p gamer revolution.
>>107262381>Look at Internet devices pre-iphone, user interfaces, design philosophies, even physical infrastructure. >>iPhone changed everything forever, just by how stylish and simple it was and remains to use. iPhone changed the world so dramatically, for better and for worse. It was the harbinger of revolution.but there were plenty of good touchscreen phones before the iphone the only thing they really did different was have a very good web browser and glass screen i think it probably just took off because of their success with the ipod
>>107262392would parents actually let you keep the money?
>>107262110I think choice was mostly made by what amd could provide and at what price. More vram would be welcome, but with current prices this would drive up the total price and they want/need it to be competitive.Might still release a higher end model later, xbox and ps did the same.. same hardware but more memory and a few more cores, or higher clocks
>>107262406that it took off is the revolution...
i got a feeling this shit is gonna flop
>>107262427I sure hope they won't break into my house and steal my money
>>107262428They just looked at their hardware survey and called it a day, which is probably good but it will depend on the price of the thing.1060 and 1050ti still lingering in top 20 of GPUs, they could snag so many people to buy this thing as an upgrade.
>>107262457it will be a success but not earth shattering like it wont outsell nintendo or sony.
>>107262110>they could have pushed to at least 12 gigs of vram.literally impossible due to the bus configuration of the 7600s they're using, the only other option would've been 16 gb which would've been too expensive, beyond retardation, plus it would require clamshelling which wouldn't work with this form factor (half of the vram chips would get cooked)the only option for 12 gb would've been to either make amd design an entire new gpu die from scratch just for this product (not happening of course, not enough production volume so it would be extremely expensive and again, retarded), or to go with an rx 7700 xt instead, which would've been again, way more expensive and also quite overkill for such a device.sure, amd could've made the 7600 a 10 gb card on a 160 bit bus at least, that would've made sense but they didn't so that's the only option.plus as the owner of an rx 7600 that plays at 1080p, 8 gb is perfectly fine and the most sensible choice valve could've made, anyone claiming otherwise is retarded, this whole vram drama is way overblown and only makes sense on the 9060xt/5060ti, the 7600 isn't powerful enough to take advantage of more than 8 gb of vram in nearly any game, those that do run out of vram, only require minor compromises to fit inside the buffer and already run like shit due to the raw performance, now add to this the fact that the 7600s in the steam machine is 15-20% slower than a regular 7600... yeah, kys.
>>107262128Instead of pushing for the 70% mark, they should have pushed for the 90% mark. That may seem like splitting hairs, but they should have aimed for a product that only extremists wouldn't find attractive. The first iPhone was way, way more expensive than an average, but not as capable as the very best smartphones of the day. They struck the correct balance, while Valve hasn't.
It uses AMD? So it won't even have DLSS.
>>107262528FSR 4.0 is as good as DLSS, however, they went with RDNA 3 so rip that lel
>>107262528SM is essentially a Deck with a massive thermal stack.
The shills are out in full force with this lmao There's nothing revolutionary about steam machine 2, and the first one failed.
>>107262546>they went with RDNA 3 so rip that lelfsr 4 int8 version exists and works wonderfully already, plus it's been confirmed multiple times that amd is working on native fsr 4 for rdna 3, maybe an fp16 version, the hardware is capable of good quality upscaling.so no, it's not rip, retard.
>>107262524Looks more like they are doing it like they did with the Deck (or Nintendo did with Switch), underperforming but cheap and available hardware.
>>107262528>it doesn't use ngreedia and that's somehow a bad thing
>>107262569>it's been confirmed multiple times that amd is working on native fsr 4 for rdna 3Aye maybe in 10 years it arrives natively, lemme just inject Reshade into all of my games to use FSR 4.0 on my outdated on arrival GPU
>>107262482>1060 and 1050ti still lingering in top 20 of GPUs, they could snag so many people to buy this thing as an upgrade.the most retarded take i’ve ever heard. those people with shitty systems upgrade to rigs that will last them at least 5 years. the steam box is already outdated with its 2018 specs. there’s a reason why they’re showcased cyberpunk on it, because the devs optimised the fuck out of it for the steamdeck. gta6 is right around the corner, good luck running that on a 2018 spec shitbox.
>>107262779I mean, good luck running GTA 6 on 1060/1050ti? 1050ti cannot even scrape Cyberpunk on low at barely 30 FPS while 1060 cannot reach past 50, I don't get the point of your post.1050ti equivalent in 2026 will barely run GTA 6 as well on low, idk why even cherrypick 1 game like those with 1050ti's even play latest releases, shit cannot run games past 2018 on high @ 1080p which makes it last barely 3 years not 5.Besides, GTA 6 uses the same engine as RDR2, 1060 can run it on high and get ~40 FPS, runs better than Cyberpunk, I'm sure GTA 6 will run fine on the Steam Machine.Again no clue why even post anything, the Steam Machine is a clear upgrade that will run it better than either of those, the GPU in it is ~50/55% better than a 1060.>inb4 just buy an used gpuYeah I'm sure the CPU they paired with something like a 1050 will pair well with something like a 3080/4080.Steam Machine just clears I'm sorry.
this thing is obsolete before it even comes out
>>107262075How many Apple iSocks will it be to buy a GabeCube?
>>107262110>implying I need more for the type of game I'd play with a controller on a TV from the couch.
>>107262926> Again no clue why even post anything, the Steam Machine is a clear upgrade that will run it better than either of those, the GPU in it is ~50/55% better than a 1060.>i cant fucking wait to upgrade to a gpu 50% better than a gpu released literally a decade ago. you got that special kind of retard that science hasn’t even named yet.
nigga, I consider myself a budget gamer and I've had 8gb video memory since 2020, this is beyond laughable, this is fucking sadat least, there's a silver lining - this shitbox will give more incentive to devs to keep system requirements down, though I'm not certain they are competent enough to do that
>>107262075My RX 580 had 8 GB of VRAM.
>>107262293>What is there to revolutionize about PC?breaking the microsoft monopoly.
>>107262110Their reasoning is retarded because1) Most of those are thirdies, who steam doesn't ship to2) None of them are buying NEW pcs with 8gb vram to play on 1080p
>>107263222You're just retarded, I'm so sorry anon, I wish to live in a deluded world like yours one day, I bet you're happy.
>>107262110I game at 1280x960 on my laptop. I like my high framerate experience.
The real thing about this system is that it is taking the Mac approach to Linux boxes and is using gaming to market and pay for it, at a time when Microsoft is shitting all over both its home and enterprise users.

>>107264333whoops i thought i was making a thread in /g/
>>107262143dead internet theory
>>107262143>>107262210chatgpt is browsing /g/ now, its over
>>107264035the 4 gb version performs exactly the same on all recent triple a releases.the fact that amd used to make retarded gpus wth 4x the vram amount they needed doesn't mean we necessarily need more now, it's a logical fallacy that makes no sense.did we ever see people complain that nvidia's high endgpus had the same amount of vram as amd's low end offerings? no, for the same reason.
>>107262075Oh no no no no, is gabe going to get pancreatic cancer too?
>>107264471on recent triple a releases you can also see the difference between the respective 8gb and 16gb versions of newer cards like rx 9060 xt and rtx 5060 ti. while performance is very similar they are already bottlenecked on some games by the amount of vram
>>107262440Precisely. >>107262406Just because you have all the ingredients on the counter doesn't mean you got a meal. You gotta cook a meal, and most people aren't good cooks. Steve Jobs was. Gabe Newell is as well.
>>107262466They don't gotta break in - they already have "your" address on their IDs! :)
>>107264511...and?the rx 7600s the steam machine is running is like 40% less powerful than the 9060xt and 5060tithe fact that 8 gb isn't enough for those two cards doesn't change the fact that it's an appropriate amount for an rx 7600 and an overkill amount for an rx 580.seriously, what the fuck is your point?if 9060xt/5060ti had a 12 gb and a 24 gb version instead, it would be roughly equivalent to the 4/8gb 580's back then, would you say a 9060xt 24 gb makes sense? and would you complain if 24 became the standard for low end cards 5 years from now?retard
>>107262075I think I agree with picrel. I nooticed: If things arent dumbed down, normies won't use it. Fucking hell not even my family uses PCs outside of work now.
>>107262293>If you want a machine that's easy to assemble, repair, or modify you get a box computerMajority doesn't repair or build their PCs. Shit take.
>anons with gigamaxxed gaming pcs complaining about the specs of a product they were never going to buy anywayWhy? It's not meant for you.
>>107262075a new religion is born
>>107264677Yes brother!
>>107262110we've had 8gb vram and 16 gb ram for budget PCs since rx480 and that was almost a decade ago it is time to admit that tech is going nowhere but memes
>>107264670yep
>>107264766>>107264670BUT I WOULD BUY ONE IF IT WAS JUST A BIT BETTER YOU RETARDED NIGGER YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE JUST ONE DEVICE IN YOUR HOUSE
>>107262406>but there were plenty of good touchscreen phones before the iphoneStopped reading right there.
>>107264707>we've had an insanely overkill amount of memory on a specific low end gpu from a decade ago that couldn't even fill 4 gigs on modern titles so we now also need an overkill amount of memory on today's low end gpus otherwise tech is going nowhereanother one with this retarded take.
>overkilldumbass
>and no RGB faggotryMy only complain is the lack of multi-SATA connectors to expand it but it isn't really that important.Gayming PCs had been in a downward spiral during the last decade.
>>107264670Because it claims to be as "revolutionary" as the iPhone when it's not
>>107265008who claims that?
>>107265015OP did >>107262075
>>107262075I'm so glad that PCs will finally be a thing now! I saw so many reaction videos on youtube, I thought only nerds will get that thing, but damn... everyone is interested!
>>107265024OP ez diff
>>107265008the iPhone wasn't revolutionary either, phones like that already existedthe revolutionary thing was Apple being so good at selling shit to idiots, just like Valve, the Apple of gayming.
>>107262075Perfect timing, I just have a Mac and crossover has some problems. I will definitely get a Steam Machine. I want to stay on Unix, I will never touch DOS again.
>>107262110Have you seen the prices of RAM? The thing will already be expensive as it is.
>>107262075It's a proprietary piece of shit designed to normalize the use of a DRM platform more than it does already.
>>107262250>linux is not a pcBut Linux is what makes my Computer personal... Personal Computer. On Windows it's "This Computer"
Since the GabeCube has 8GB VRAM, does this mean devs will target the GabeCube's specs and my 3060 12GB will stay relevant?
>>107268013I don't understandthe gpu you have is roughly on par when it comes to raw performance compared to the gamecube, plus it has a lot more vram (that it cannot meaningfully take advantage of in any case)...so why are you pointing at the vram amount of the two gpus as a factor at all?like sure, it might help, but the fact it has less vram than your card is completely unrelated.plus the 3060 12 gb is already the most popular card in steam's hardware survey and isn't getting overtaken by the 4060 anytime soon so it's already the thing the devs *should* target regardless.
would steamos only be installable on steam machines though?
>>107265044>it wasn't revolutionary>every company proceeded to copy it and the ones that didn't no longer sell phonesthe jump from every smartphone before iphone to iphone itself was like upgrading from windows 3.1 to xp. just because you're too young to remember doesn't mean it wasn't the case.

>>107262075Game console shaped like a cube? Where are nintendo lawyers?
>>107268347Tarkov wants 32GB of ram. The cpu and gpu easily run it.
>>107262075Steam users are the most loyal niggercattle goys on planet earth. They LOOOOOOOOVE gaben. They are proud to suck his taint because they are part of the PC Master Race™ and because Valve is "one of the good ones". >apple and google charge 30% platform tax for their mobile storesNOOOOO THAT ISNT FAIR>valve charges 30% platform tax, and applies the DRM "you will own nothing" model to gaming BASED BASED BASED I LOVE GABEN. PC MASTER RACE.
>>107264808there were
>>107262143>ambitioushahahahahahain what way exactly is this thing ambitious?
>>107262110all the easier to sell a "pro" gabecube with slightly better specs in the near future
>>107264766>Fortnitenow idk if this is a multi level irony meme or something but Fortnite will literally not run on the steam machine because it has "easy anti-vheat" which is kernel level.If it gains traction developers will probably look to include it somehow but until then many popular normies games will not run
>>107269993Will the pro version be a rectangular cuboid or a bigger cube though?
>>107268624>because they are part of the PC Master Race™ and because Valve is "one of the good ones".The funny thing is these are all nuGamer faggots who got lured into PC gaming by HL2 and/or WoW.Everyone who was an actual PC gamer before Steam and witnessed Steam's launch hated it with a passion.
>>107268624>le drmit can be removed in 30 secondsmeanwhile you don't own consoles, they charge the same 30% tax as steam and in the end you don't actually own the games either because you can't actually interact with the filesif you genuinely don't remember the enshittification of physical before steam or think physical on pc wouldn't become drm hell to compensate for the hardware freedom if it survived to 2025 you're genuinely delusional
>>107271782>they charge the same 30% taxwhich they use to subsidize the hardwareSteam uses it to subsidize Gabe's freighter loads of ozempic
>>107271807because their hardware is all locked up draconian shitboxes that people spend years jailbreaking
>>107262128TRVKE
>>107271827they're locked down because they rely on the game sales to make the money back they lose on hardware
>>107266625stop noticing, goy
>>107271857then why the cope about the console subsidisation being some fucking philanthropy when it's not?
>>107268624>>107271782you don't have these problems with gog or piracy
>>107262381God it's a fucking budget desktop made in China. There's no way this isn't a shill campaign,>>107271782It's already DRM hell moron, and just because Valve developers are too stupid and lazy to rival something like denuvo doesn't mean there's no DRM. With physical media you can at least install the games offline. >>107271807Yeah exactly. With console 30% you get entry to a cheat-free piracy-free ecosystem along with developer tools and developer forums/hotline. Alongside advertising in their catalog. With Steam's 30% you get a play button in the monopolized black launcher.Valve literally pays people to go on 4chan and steer the conversation. It's been a thing for over a decade.
>>107271891CD's are literally the crudest form of DRM.>REEEEEEEE why isn't disc 1 in your drive? are you trying to share your game?
>>107271883gog is begging for donations and piracy wouldn't exist if the games weren't sold on the platform to begin with>>107271891>drm hell>the drm in question is removed in 30 seconds>denuvo is killing itself with its own greedagain, compare how little functionality and customisability you get on consoles and then come back
>>107271872I'm not saying it's philanthropy.Only retarded Steam fanboys think there's any philanthropy in the video game industry.
>>107271937then why uniquely shit on steam for things consoles are way more culpable of?for all their faults the software drm is fucking baby shit compared to consoles
>>107271872Console games have NO HACKERS. Meanwhile John Mcdonald at Valve gets paid 7-figures to fail year after year at securing VAC. He lives in a 6m$ house. Aimware for CSGO has been around for over a decade with maybe 3-4 ban waves. I can probably find a dozen cheats that aren't detected on Github for free.Meanwhile console developers make maybe 100k a year, yet do an absolute perfect job. There are 0 cheats for ps5 or xbox online.Valve can't even secure their own hardware. They bribed Apex to allow Steam Decks and it got flooded with cheaters until they disabled it again.Do you see the problem here? Valve sucks up all the money, yet provides little value. It's a monopoly, and it's a big part of why games suck today - because even when they defy all odds and make it big, they get leeched off almost 50% immediately by Valve.
>>107271996>valve is bad because they wont install ring -2 level backdoors on your machine
>>107271996>Console games have NO HACKERSimagine believing this
>>107271954Because Valve is shitting where I eat.
>>107271996nigger you all fucking cheat with aim assist and cry when hackers expose the hypocrisyhave you considered not playing subhuman matchmaking slop?you play low trust meatgrinder slop, you get faceless machiavelian psychopats
don't fall for the memes! I bought a steam machine last year and my skin is barely any more moist!
>>107262075That's a good thing, I hope it's performance becomes the baseline towards which developers should optimize their games. We need to come back to sane games requirements.
It'll be a niche thing when it's people realize it's under powered and not fit to run all the hyped shit on high settings. Especially when the prices are released and the sticker shock hits.Out of production by the middle of 2027. Calling it now.
>>107266625>>107268624>>107271891*cough*
>>107272025and if it wasn't valve on pc then it'd be someone way worsethinking you'd get easy, libre and decentralised physical on pc in 2025 if not for valve is cope
>>107272009VAC literally runs as admin, and downloads various code modules from Valve HQ while you're playing. Not only that, but the Steam Service(again running as admin) has a live patcher that's separate from the automatic updates that can run whatever they want to download to your PC at any time as long as you have Steam open.Valve can backdoor your computer whenever they want, admin lets them install drivers.So yeah Nice argument, Valve shill. Even if you ignore all this, they still ATTEMPT to get rid of cheaters via their anticheat and "vacnet' but fail horribly.>>107272033All PC games have cheats, not just FPS. Look at GTA Online. Look at Dota. Look at Deadlock.
>>107272081the only games where you'll have to deal with cheaters are matchmaker slop retardanywhere else you're kicking them in 10 seconds for the once a month scenario of them showing up
>>107272073Yeah who would take time out of their day to even make this collection of Images. This is the first time I've posted on 4chan in like 2-3 months.You are a paid shill, or even worse, a free cucked shill.And I just want you guys to know that by 2030, everyone will recognize Valve for what they are, and all the goodwill will be gone. Despite all efforts on your part. It's already happening.
>>107272033Centralized servers for multiplayer games should die. Cheaters were a solved problem. You have a room, you see a cheater, kick them and blacklist them. Such an easy solution.
of course he'd double down kek
>>107272077So I should be mad at some hypothetical fictional greedy Jew instead of the greedy Jew that has actually ruined PC gaming?
>>107271996>Console games have NO HACKERS.L M A O
>>107272126no retard, you're trying to tear down the best in industry foundations for games without having the iota of imagination required to notice how much shittier things would be without valveagain, if you don't like valve's drm they let you strip it out in 30 secondsno one else would've fucking done that, not any other corporation that would fill that void, not physical had it survived to 2025

>>107272155>how much shittier things would be without valveThis is fanboy delusion. Steam popularized online DRM and microtransactions/lootboxes and no one complained because of your undying love for valve. Meanwhile they won't give you real games because they realized they can make more money without effort with online slop and skins.If you weren't such fanboys at the time, valve or whoever else would have had to do better.>drm they let you strip it out in 30 secondsThey don't let you. The fact that it's relatively easy to bypass (Still too hard and unknown for most people) is probably that working on it wouldnt make them any money.And ironically when other companies stopped publishing on steam and made their own alternatives, that's when valve was forced to let you refund.
>>107272392>And ironically when other companies stopped publishing on steam and made their own alternatives, that's when valve was forced to let you refund.No they were actually legally forced to provide refunds by European and Australian courts.
>>107272392do you have any idea how much more annoying physical drm was to deal with than valve's drm not to mention what it would be in 2025? think moron, thinkconsoles are giving you a sample of it, disc always in, no software modification and you can't use your internet on the console if you ever tinker with the hardware>valve or whoever else would have had to do better.if you weren't such a consoloid slave they would let you access functions that every pc has had for decades>They don't let you. The fact that it's relatively easy to bypass (Still too hard and unknown for most people) is probably that working on it wouldnt make them any money.and yet nintendo is seething about piracy and consoles take years to crack while valve is just letting their cracks be as simple as replacing a single filedoes that make them any money?>that's when valve was forced to let you refund.and they still have the best refund terms by farcurious huh?
>>107262075It's good they have shit hardware. This way devs will have to use 2% more brain power when optimizing it so it runs on the last gen flagship over 30 fps.
>>107271567>If it gains traction developers will probably look to include it somehowThis thing finally making anticheats a non-issue for Linux gaming would be huge
>>107272163You're just wrong... Go back into TF2 and goon some more bud. This computer talk too hard for you.>>107272392These valve-incels have 20,000 hours in Team fortress, Dota, and/or Counterstrike. They are completely brain-warped to worship Valve at all times and "invest" all their money into Skins.They are unsavable and it won't be until everything goes offline that they'll realize - and probably rope. They don't want to break the delusion.Valve invented the battlepass, Dota+, CSGO360 subscription, Lootboxes (tf2), NFT's (steam market), and more...They literally hire people who went to college for 8 years to learn how to addict children to gambling. There's tons of subtle things they do like play loud noises when you get a rare, or earrape you with horror sounds when your Dota+ runs out. They are completely an evil company.
>>107262170He only supports Linux because it would be expensive to use or sell a console with microsoft
>>107272220I always forget how to do it. Do you>>>/board/then post number? Does it only work with threads or posts also?lemme jus>>>/a/283898835>>>/a/283897577
>>107266625>proprietary>literally just arch
>>107271891>God it's a fucking budget desktop made in China. There's no way this isn't a shill campaign,it's a package normalfags can buy that gives them a linux computer to run windows software. it's a genuine threat to consumer use of windows. that's what makes it exciting. i don't even play vidya and i'm excited.
>>1072620751. Gabe is retired and has nothing to do with the company anymore2. There already was a steambox and it failed, so will this
>>107273381>There already was a steambox and it failed, so will thisThere actually wasn't, there was a nebulous spec and a shitty OS without Windows game compatibility. You can say this will fail, but it's a COMPLETELY different situation from 2015.
>>107273396It already fails on the account that all you can do with it is log onto steam and play video games, something that is completely useless for 99% of PC userbase that want to do other things besides play video games, but can already play video games on their PC, it's a completely useless product and a terrible decision from valve's marketing team.
>>107262075my minisforum is more powerfulfucking morons
>>107273430What makes people spout out diarrhoea about things they don't even try to research This is literally a fully functional pc, it just ships with SteamOS defaulting to big picture mode
>>107273711and normies are never ever going to change their OS to anything elsethey see steamos, wondering where their Word icon is and walk away frustrated
>>107262075if it costs more than a PS5 then this thing is DOA>D - O - AAlso it is required to ship with a controllerIf it costs less than a PS5 + has a controllerThen fucking wake me up
>>107262110Most games don't require more, and those that do don't even run well on high end PCs. (See: Borderlands)
>>107262110It's meant to be a casual steam gaming machine, not for your tranime AI slop
>>107271909>and piracy wouldn't exist if the games weren't sold on the platform to begin withyou do know about de-steamed pirate copies of games, right?
You can build a gaming PC right now with a ryzen 5500+ 9060XT for $550 with brand new parts minus ram/SSD you can easily get used off eBay.You can build a used ryzen 5500+5700XT for $360 if you do a used build.If the steam machine is not $550 for the 512gb or less its a flop
>>107273871Gabe is aiming to attract the console crowd and the average consumer (the 90%), not the PC building nerdsThe fact it is a fucking tiny mini-ITX form factor should have made it obvious
>>107262075PC’s already exist…
>>107274009i've seen chinkphones with better specs than this piece of shit
