>unreleased>already have more exclusives than switch, xbox series, and ps5 combined
>>731002093and it's a fucking unrestricted access computer best of all, something no locked down gaming console will ever achieve
We don't count PS5 shovelware as games and we don't count PC ones either. (ur still right tho)
> Walk into Walmart > Buy a $250.00 Steam card> Wait for a Steam sale (They happen monthly) > But a library of 50-75 games> Sell all your Steam trading cards> Buy more games
>>731002224Steam trading cards are worth about 1 to 3 cents each on average
>>731002224>Sell all your Steam trading cardspoorfag scraping for literal cents, real gamers builds the card deck so they get a fancy badge for the games they like
>>731002093If it costs more than 700$ then I'm just gonna wait until the ram market crashes and I'll be able to buy a computer without selling my kidney
>>731002359>Selling your own kidney instead of someone else's Theres your mistake
Steam Machine will be a tremendous successlike Deadlock
>>731002359>I'm just gonna wait until the ram market crashesHave fun waiting until 2030
>>731002580gladly, at least I'll have DDR6 RAM by then
>>731002626The JEDEC specs for DDR6 and LPDDR6 are super cool; better bank addressing, stupid high MT/s rates, improved signal integrity, lower power, etcToo bad we'll never see it
Uhhmmm actually PC exclusives don't count because...well they just don't ok? Exclusives only matter when its consoles (especially if its Nintendo)
>>731002224If your in the US get a citi custom cash card and find a drugstore that sells steam cardsGives you 5% cashback up to your first $500 a month at drugstores
>>731003842Nigga who even knows this shit unless they're desperately poor
>>731004717It's one of my 'tism interests
>>731002093You don't actually own any of those games though
>>731004842>download one (1) thing >breaks Steam DRM>all of your installed files are now usable offline forever Wow.
>>731003720Because Nintendo exclusives aren't crypto miners and pornographic visual novels
>>731004842You can play offline actually.
>>731002093>Digital shit>Censored platform>Region block>Family share region block>Anti loli>Weak hardware
>>731005359You can just pirate whatever you want lol
>>731002580>He thinks this will actually endThey want cloud hosted subscription based models to fully own what you access and do.
>>731002093
>>731005359You can install anything you wantYou can pirate anythingWith a $15 USB disc drive you can install any physical media
>>731002093PS6 will mog the hell out of this thing, even more so than the PS5 already does.
>>731003842why would a drugstore sell steam cards?the american society really boggles my european mind
>>731004943>aren't crypto minersExcept that one cooking mama game
How much stock will Valve have of these?
>>731005563Undoubtedly. Theres really no question about that. The PS6 will have some bleeding edge hardware, and under 200w peak load nothing will touch it in terms of performance. PC players don't care about that because apparently most games played are 5 years old or older vs brand new shit. Console players who literally never complete their games buy AAA titles and then watch youtube videos instead. Niggers couldn't even get halfway through Elden Ring. Look at the achievement/trophy percentages.
>>731004842you don't own any of any of your games
>>731002093What exclusives? You mean old shit not released this generation?
>>731005792mods, settings options that let you play exactly how you wantowning your hardware and not having to pull out a phone to browse the internet because your toy corp is deathly terrified of potential jailbreak routes because that can potentially let you own your hardware
Too weak for the rumoured price
>>731005593You can buy chocolate, lotion, dish soap, and frozen pizzas in drugs stores too, genius.
>>731004717>Nigga who even knows this shit unless they're desperately poorDesperately poor? Or smart at managing and retaining money?
>>731006526consoles are cool toys. nobody is expecting them to be a home office multimedia device. you can enjoy both
So how powerful is the thing anyway? Like a 2060?
>>731004842Many games you purchase through steam don't actually have DRM.https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam
My wife said I could buy the steam machine, frame, AND steam controller! She really is the best :)Can't wait to pick all of them up as soon as they go on sale just like I did with the limited edition Steam Deck!How much do you guys think each piece of the new hardware is going to cost??
>>731007150no, consoles are becoming a poisoned chalice now, your console is better off as a fully functional computeronce console digital sets in you become a complete slave to the corporations, everything you do is controlled and monitored by them and all you can do is play in the kiddie pool, you're in steam big picture mode with less functionality and you can't ever leave
>>731007269We don't know yetWord on the street is that it's a custom 6600 mobile so closer to a 3060
>>731007614i am like this and say this. i love my girlfriend
How much will it cost? If this is more than $500, it's pretty much DOA.
>>731007276You and I know very well I wouldn't be able to buy and use these games without installing steam account tied DRMware.
>>731002093>complete schizo headcanon>Steam Deck hasn't even outsold the Wii U>Steam Machine 1 was abandoned>Steam Machine 2 coming out with estimated $999+ price tags due to RAM shortages.Another PCVegan senior age moment. Can't say I'm surprised given the poor post quality of /g/ troons on /v/ and the tribalism associated with most PC fanboys like /v/alve vegans, PCVegans, piracy PCvegans, and Linux/SteamOS Vegans.
>>731011343buy? nobut use? you're free to just crack your own games, all it takes is replacing a single file
>>731012030see >>731007643consolecucks have no futureyou will become digital and you will lose all value you had left
>>731009347>>731007614You guys ask your women for permission to buy stuff with your own money? Especially >>731009347--you aren't dven married
>>731002093Leave Nintendo alone. This is the PlayStation and especially the Xbox killer. So, much of an Xbox killer that Microsoft killed the console version of Xbox just to rip Valve off on this and copy their exact strategy with Steam Hardware but with the Xbox Hardware minus the Steam Frame.
>>731012127>it's DRM free>but only if you download it from some tracker and use a malware-ridden crackYeah, nice DRM free games, faggot.
>>731003609And it will all go to AI lmaooooo
>>731002093I want it as a World of Warcraft machine. That would be rad. Other than that PS5/Xbox hands down.
>>731002093I would get one if it had better specs
>>731012030PC players who attack Nintendo are retarded. Nintendo could barely give a single shit about PC. Sony and Microsoft are the ones that challenge PC gaming all the time which is why Valve is pushing Sony's and Microsoft's shit in.
>>731015370I guess you want to spend close to $2000 on a fucking console.
>>731011227You better be prepared because the PS6 and especially the next Xbox will cost more.
>>731005563For $800 and heavily locked down, you would waste all of that just for power?
>>731015734Yeah, but they won't be 3 yo laptop parts. They'll run GTAVI. Face it, it's DOA, there is no use case. Valve fucked up, and now with the advent of cloud gaming, which will take over in the next couple of years thanks to hardware scarcity. How do you play your steam games on the cloud?
>>731002093I don't consider indie sloppa exclusives
>>731015473did you miss the part where nintendo is shitting blood about emulation?they're posting record profits despite the switch 1 being thoroughly buck broken and emulated through every holeif it's impacting their profits it's doing so positively
>Who does this appeal toMe if my Steam Deck ever dies in the next few years and it's in the neighborhood of $700.
>>731015473>Nintendo could barely give a single shit about PCReminder that they were paying for antishilling for the Steam Deck when it literally wasn't even in stock
>>731005593I hope you faggots get invaded by Russia. I really do.
>You mean the Xbox series of consoles?>Yes it is part of the Xbox series of consoles but these particular consoles are part of the Xbox Series of the Xbox series of consoles.
>>731015920>Yeah, but they won't be 3 yo laptop partsGraphics haven't meant shit for years, man. You're stuck in the past.>They'll run GTAVIThat's the new BG&E2. It's never releasing.
>>731016114>did you miss the part where nintendo is shitting blood about emulation?Who cares, Sony does it too, Microsoft's next shitty Windows box, is the literal 2012 vision of what Microsoft wanted with Windows, a locked down PC with emulations THEY APPROVE. Blow it out of your ass with your Nintendo complaints.>>731016270Nintendo doesn't pay for anti-shilling campaigns, their mentally ill fanbase does that all on their own.
>>731016495>Nintendo doesn't pay for anti-shilling campaignsLolLmao
>>731015543I thought it's a mini-pc?
>>731016691It's both
>>731016605Show me proof that they do
>>731016691Really the only thing separating current consoles from being mini-pcs is being able to be remotely bricked by the manufacturer.And I guess the switch is a phone, kind of.
Do you think they'll eventually start selling their products at retail? I feel like that's something huge every other console manufacturer has over them. At least in my yuropean country I've only ever seen second hand steam decks, and people buy ps5s and switches and stuff at retail stillDo they at least sell at retail in America, or do they just not care? I guess the average person buying a PS5 for their kids would maybe have no idea what to do with a steam machine, but the idea behind it is ease of use, right?Maybe they don't have that much fuck-you money to strike deals, mass produce units and ship them to retailers, I dunno. I feel like they're just not interested, but it's definitely an avenue they could take, I think.
>>731017023>Do you think they'll eventually start selling their products at retail?I mean eventually is probably a bad bet to make, the specifically only go out of their way to distribute stuff in retail over in Japan because of scalping problems that have been an issue for like, 7 years now.
>>731017023No, Valve's sell directly to consumers, a model Microsoft is switching to for the next Xbox.
>>731006883No if you do anything remotely like that you're poor as fuck. In America only blacks probably committing crime buy pharmacy gift cards. It was such a common issue that you have to register them online with your real name before you use them now where they used to be anonymous.
>>731005593>>731006769>he doesn't use intravenous pizza to prevent mart sharting>>731016302cope and seethe, incel.
>>731005472coming to PC too mate
>>731005593For the same reason you can buy a tea at a drug store for a ~3x markup.Just selling medical and pharmaceutical goods and equipment is a fairly limited market.
>>731002167Consolefags can't even conceive of how fucking bad they have it. You could easily run games like Coiberpounk 2077 at 60fps in 4k without upscaling with access to mods on even Xbox X's hardware. They're such a fucking joke in comparison to PC its unreal, some hyperreality demon world shit.>>731002359If $1000 is a big jump from $600 for you, you should probably not be buying games or things that play games at all and learning a trade skill instead.
>>731017957Nintendo is the only company that knows what a console is and is supposed to be, a toy. Why does Sony and Microsoft refuse to understand this? Sony and Microsoft need to stop, they'll never compete in the big leagues. They want PC power so badly, make a fucking real PC.
>>731018137You're missing the point a bit. They could stretch that hardware way further than most people know is possible if they stopped being anal retentive gigafaggots about it. If they just did that there wouldn't even be a market for the steam machine in the first place.
>>731018137They're all on the exact same suicidal path ruining their long term brand image: Paid software as a service features, subscriptions that won't carry over to a new system
>>731018294>>731018305A console is not meant to be stretched further, a console is meant to be a toy for children which is why the PlayStation and especially Xbox were always retarded for even existing. The Steam Machine exist because Sony tried to bring PC power to the living room and bedroom and Microsoft tried to bring PC API, processors, and graphic cards along with hard drives to consoles. Steam Machine is the ultimate form of what Sony and Microsoft wanted and instead of making ones themselves, they're holding back gaming and stagnating the industry. Consoles have only two direction, become a kids toy or become a PC. Sony and Microsoft were never going to change the industry because gaming can never move beyond being for kids and nerds. They failed their mission, Nintendo and Valve were right and won.
>>731017957>You could easily run games like Coiberpounk 2077 at 60fps in 4k without upscaling with access to mods on even Xbox X's hardware.wtf are you talking about?
I wonder what causes someone's mind to collapse to pure PC /v/ fanboy tribalism as their personality trait. Especially when they're nearing death age at 50 years old. 731018635
>>731018802he's rightxbox and ps are for that brief period where kinds think they outgrew nintendo games before they realize its all just a sham and they wasted their time and money continuing to play glorified little kids gamesif you're an adult and want to play videogames you need a pc otherwise you are kinda stunted mentally especially if you cant admit call of duty is about as complex and difficult as mario if not less
How is the PC aspect of this gonna work? Is it going to be it's own functional OS Linux or will I have to duel boot?
>>731019116are you new? theres gaming mode and desktop modeyes it uses steamOS which does all the basic things a computer can do (better than windows)obviously if you want to do productive things like record and make music with a specific software you're already familiar with itl be impossible without the OS its meant for
>>731019116SteamOS is just Arch Linux that boots into Steam Big Picture mode by default. You can exit that and have a full normal desktop environment, its KDE.
>>731019116How does the Steam Deck work, anon? If you can answer that question, then that should answer your Steam Machine question.
>>731019239>>731019260>>731019617Ok cool, the only thing I use my PC for is the internet, games and pirating anime so it should be fine.
>>731003842Don't listen to this anon, get an amex blue cash preferred for 6% cashback at grocery stores. It's like $3k/quarter or something like that.
>>731020162literally better than windows for that shit because it isnt a bloated piece of crapeven weak hardware can be faster with steamOS than good hardware with winblows
>>731020335What grocery store sells steam cards?
>>731015473Jamie pull up nintendo's stock performance since the switch 2 released
>>731020567Publix.
>>731020687I think Hyvee does too
>>731020593>muh stock because Nintendo isn't pushing into the AI bubbleKeep coping, bitch
