Switch 2 and 7 exclusive games = $744Steam Machine = $1428This is the year where PC gaming died.
>>741658639Consoles unironically won. I’ve heard nonstop about “Linux PC gaming is taking over” and this is the absolute best they could muster.
I already have a gaming PC and I genuinely do not understand who the Steam Machine is for. Its specs are awful for the money they're asking.
>>741658639>This is the year where PC gaming died.For me that happened around 2018 when Sony and Microsoft launched pro revisions that matched PC performance, and then again in 2020 when Sony and Microsoft launched $500 consoles that exceeded PC performace for $1000 cheaper.

>>741658786it's for people that want a cheap PC so they can play steam games. the steam machine gives you a console like experience, since everything is pre-installed.
>>741660540Better options exist for that already
>>741658639How does "a bad prebuild deal" equal to "PC gaming dieded"?God, I swear, you console niggers are fucking retarded.
>>741660540>it's for people that want a cheap PCwell... it's not
>>741658639steam has free online, stupid cheap sales, piracy, emulation and game sharing. plus any game Nintendo gets looks like ass compared to other consoles
>>741658639I can emulate Switch games on the GabeN cube
>>741661458None of those are Switch games.
>>741658639>PC gaming died as someone who plays on console. PC can just pirate shit for free people are just too lazy to save for a rig that's it. I have a side computer I play random games on sometimes at the end of the day PC is always the way to go in my opinion.
>>741661645if its on the switch 1 it can be emulated
>>741658639I was considering selling my main rig and buying one of these, but fuck that. I love the Valve ecosystem; my Deck is now my main PC in and out of home, but I can't justify selling a PC with a 4070, 7800x3d and 48GB ram for whatever the fuck this is. I don't even care about specs, I would be happy with PS4-tier hardware. But $1500 is too much.
>>741662348just sell the 4070, buy a 9070xt in its place, install cachyos and you have something vastly better and it would really only cost you about $300
>>741658639I thank Valve for killing PC Gaming for good.
>>741663976but it's bigger than ever and valve is making inroads for expanding into consolecuck markets?all that keeps people on consoles is their own retardation at this point and that's going away too
>>741660540surely someone figured out a way to boot pc into steam big picture mode with controller by now?
>>741661458You can't emulate Switch 2 games
>>741664201disable password on login and tick the start steam in big picture mode optionthat's ityou just don't have CEC
i like steam, i really do. i haven't had a console since i was 15 and steam is my main launcher outside of maybe the rockstar games launcher. but whoever okayed this price is out of their fucking mind.>m-muh hardware shortage m-muh supply line constraints prease unda standnot my fucking problem, newell. lower the price of your hardware or fuck off.
Vishnu is a demon BTW.
>>741664257name 10 switch 2 games
>>741664913ask grok
>>741664913Mario's Wahoo Adventure HDLegend of Zelda Majora's Ocarina HDJackie Chan
>>741658764its not a console tho so..?>>741661053cheap is like 800-1k
>>741660540>overpriced pc with shit specs is for people who want a cheap pcDo steamies really
>>741658639>385 for a Switch 2No.
>>741662134They aren't on the Switch.
>>741658639PS5 + fifa: $550
>>741658639and you can buy this twice and still would be cheaper wtf
>>741658639>7 games and effective e-waste >versus>the entire PC library plus emulationtendies really are retarded
>>741661458>I can emulate Switch games on my overpriced Gaben Yacht simulatorYeah congrats I guess. Everybody and their moms already played the Switch atp. It's almost decade old after all.
>see this overpriced shit doesn't look so bad now when there is other overpriced shit.Gee, I dunno man, both looks pretty shitty to me. Sure you aren't in the market for both? Seems like your thing.
>>741666616the only PC games worth playing are 20+ years old and can be played on any weak PC
>>741658639THIS is what you retards pay for Nintendo arcade bullshit?
>>741667065I can play Switch 1 games that have yet to come out
>>741658639But what if I don't want any of those games?
switch 2 is 499€ here (570 USD)
>>741658639I already have a PC, why would I need any of this when I can already play, for free, every game ever made up until Gen 8?Some people were just born to be cattle consoomers.
>>741658639I could spend $700 on a Nintendo Switch, a console I don’t really own with a controller that’ll start drifting in a couple of months.Or I could spend $1400 on a console that I actually own and have full control over, runs 99% of all existing games, and has great repairabilityOne is a low-end option for kids, the other is a premium option for gamers. That's really the difference between Valve's technology and everyone else's.
>>741658934What are you talking about man? Totally clueless, I am sorry to say it
imagine not having a PC and then getting PC + gaming console in one. it's a huge value for normalfags without a PC already
>>741669065>PC + gaming console in oneNormalfags aren't as stupid as you think they are. But you are much dumber than you think you are.
