What’s the purpose of valves steam-cube?
If you can handle installing Linux, you can also put together mini-ITX PCs.

This lets people who can't handle installing Linux or putting together mini-:ITX PCs use Linux.

I'd say they designed pretty ugly case, the fractal ridge one looks much nicer in living room, if you are going to use it as some sort of console.

shit taste and also buy an ad

You can use custom plates, the default one just pops right off.

every game theyve tried to release has been a colossal failure

their cash cow isnt the games as much as it is children gambling
nothing theyve done has profited since portal other than lootcrates

I'm basically sitting on the fence, I've got parts I can use to build my own HTPC, but at the same time it seems like a nice form factor, is quiet, and a few other perks from being more integrated.
So might be fun to play around with.

Really depends if the price is decent.

Does Gaben really think normies don't buy PCs because they're to hard?
>>
>>108520394
At the risk of falling for bait and stating the obvious, it has everything pre-installed. Most people, including most PC gamers, have never installed any OS and have no interest in doing so.

Why do you think the console market even exists?
>>
it was already outdated when it was announced
>>
>>108521099
It doesn't.
Switch (its successors) will be the only console left on the market after 10 years.

>>108520394
So the retards won't install PopOS and get dunked on for betatesting Cosmic DE

as a dota player, ti making valve millions is a drop in the bucket compared to the money they make on steam

How good is that thing's cooling? Tons of theoretically good small PCs overheat and throttle to the point of uselessness. And that's one thing the Gabecube will likely get right, check its bigass heat sink.

Not gonna buy it, but that wood one is comfy

What have they released actually? I though they only released a few succesful games and mostly just do the marketplace thing, which is also succesufl although questionable when it comes to lootboxes bs. But it's a cover for obvious money laundering scheme, that's why they won't be shutting it down any time soon.
Anyways, so what have they released that was a failure, besides maybe some older hardware products? Like old steam controller and such.

tell us about this obvious money laundering scheme anon. tell us all about it.

Looks like STOCK AMD cooler size wise, not even close to dh15, doubt it's very good, but consider you will be playing Hades on this console should probably work.
>>
>>108520394
Dumbass
If you can put together a pc then this thing is not for you
Can you think of an audience that doesn't give a shit about tech or specs and just wants a low effort living room box?
I'm not playing on ever getting it either but you're too fucking stupid and solipsistic to see its use cases
