They’re calling it the Steam Machine Killer.
This incident is really proving that Valve can do literally anything and people will eat it up. Gabe could kill someone in a livestream and people would defend him, I am not even joking. Trump couldn't get away with this, but Gabe could.
>>741678887saar
Could valve not get wholesale instead of consumer?
Steamies will defend anything valve does.
If this goober ever actually bought a HP or any generic OEM prebuilt he'd never recommend them online. They're thermal nightmares.
>Created the Modern Lootbox>Created the Battle Pass>Holds beloved IPs hostage for seemingly no reason>Employees so fed up with the situation they literally leak entire story scripts (see Laidlaw incident)And valve dr@nes will still clap like seals everytime they hear he bought a new super yacht
Lower prices do not create a healthy ecosystem!
How do you kill something that is already dead?
>>741678738>11/28/25
>>741678887you are a retarded turd egs pajeet
>>741678738this was a black friday deal that doesn't exist anymore
>>741678738I bought an HP Omen prebuilt with a 5090 cause it was much cheaper than buying the parts, and it works perfectly fine.
>>741679018>>741678738>2025you are a retarded turd pajeet
>>741679175You can with a set of 15 dollar fans from thermalright and their 20 dollar cpu cooler.
>2025People are forgetting just how much compotent prices massively surged up in a couple of months
>>741678738yeah about that
>>741678738>11/28/25Now look up how much it costs today. Still better than buying a shit machine, though.
>>741679507>november 2025in fact it started like a week after this was posted
>>741679530>still cheaper than a gaybcubesteamies btfo
>>741679530damn daniel
>>741678887>Gabe could kill someone in a livestream and people would defend him, I am not even joking. Tthis would be incredibly entertaining, you aren't wrongdoes asha sharma or devon or herman hulst have the balls to play Manhunt IRL?we both know the answer is no
>>741679565look at the components, it's not the same machine>6GB 5050>8500F>8 fucking gigs of RAMmy laptop is faster than that
>>741678738>2025it costs double that now
>>741678738?
>>741679530>still a better deal that the shart machine
>>741678738Back in January of this year you could have bought a PS5 pro killer level PC for $827. And it absolutely demolishes the steam machine. Image being a waitfag.CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X OEM $106Cooler: Aliexpress tower air cooler $9MB: Asrock B550M-HDV $70RAM: Chinese 2x16gb 2933mhz DDR4 $64 (from newegg btw)GPU: Gigabyte RTX 5060ti 8gb $330SSD: Gamestop PCIE 4.0 NVME SSD 2tb $170PSU: Asrock Pro 650W $45Case: Zalman Raven $33
>>741679469OP's cereal box won't have a single slot for expansion. It'd better to rip out the CPU&GPU and put them in a real case.
>>741678887The funniest thing ever is all he had to do was have price parity or slightly undercut the Xbox and that would probably be the killing blow for them. He could have done the funniest thing ever to Microsoft at their most vulnerable point and his greed was too much.
>HP
>>741678887kill all pajeets
>>741679507>MASSIVE SURGE!!!!meanwhile in reality Valve told IGN they had it originally priced at $750 which was still expensive as fuck, they only increased the price by like $300. Delusional people unironically think the production price "doubled".
>>741678738HOLY FUCKING SHIT ITS XITTER MANWOW XITTER
>>741679582>>741679764Did you not read the specs?It's half as powerful and twice as expensive.
>>741679707Then just spend another 10 seconds googling pre-builts. There's another one for $1229 with a 5060 Ti in case you were planning on buying the 2 TB cube.Unless you absolutely need the smallest form factor possible there's no reason whatsoever to get a Steam Machine. Even then I'd say just get a SeXbox and a laptop.
>>741679790He doesn't need to though, it's a fully functional PC.All Valve has to do is develop software that turns this thing into an editing machine/streaming box and they can kill Microsoft because the hardware itself goes up in value over time because it gains more functionalityThe Xbox Series S only does netflix streaming and video games, same with the X but that can also do Blu rays ooh wowThe Steam Machine will get a refresh in a few years and improve while the Helix comes out and is only useful for GTA6
>>741678970>>741679429>>741679830Why are chuds so adamantly defending this terrible company?
>>741679838back when we talked about 750 you pajeets were all>SAAAAAARR ITS $5,000
>>741680053>they can kill Microsoftthat will never happen
>>741680053>All Valve has to do is develop software that turns this thing into an editing machine/streaming boxThey won't. Geriatric company.
>>741680129>SAAAAAAAAAAR STOP NOTICINGnigger you losers have shilled against steam for years and years.nobody believes you because all you do is lie and you have been lying for years.retarded indians on dell laptops must struggle with this
>>741680129Steam owns their game library. They can't turn back now
>>741680201I'm white and don't use Steam, you dumb slave.
>>741678738there are CPUs from 2020 that are better than what this offers
>>741678738not portablenot mini
>>741678738And the price is higher than the gaycube because it has a windows license + a giant price cut from the store. Gaben has no middle man to take a cut or windows so it should be much, much cheaper than this.
>>741680378>not portablelol you act like your fat ass moves much at all, PC users aren't known to move at all
>>741678738>Steam Machine Killer already exists it's called PlayStation 5
>>741680768I live two lives and would like to game on something that's not a laptop
>>741680823Nobody wants a gaystation
>>741679838My original guess was $800So $750 wouldn't have been bad
>calls you Indian
>>741680138When it was first announced, the numbers were $400-600
>>741680257uh-huh.
>>741680891Selling better than any valve product lol
>>741678887The reaction to the price reveal has been universally negative as far as I can see
Lol
>>741679838>Bro, Valve ONLY increased the price a mere, scant, infinitesimal $378 for the shitty version with a controller. That's ONLY a 50% increase, not doubling the price. Honestly, Gabe should charge us more!You're so jewish you make Vile Shlomo blush.
>>741680129this isnt for chuds, sis
>>741678738HP makes their own motherboards and all the parts are rebranded Chinese parts, the ram has the slowest shittiest timings, i wouldn't trust anything HP, they are designed to be part of an office package which has a replacement service. I really only see dumb goyim buy these and complain its shit or broken.
>>741679530>>741679537>>741679714>>741679756it's been superseded and that model isn't on offer
>>741682502>>741685983why are people even bringing this up, its fucking massive compared to the steam machine
>>741686163who gives a shit, there's so few real world scenarios that would preclude someone from having the space for that pc but not a steam machine and even in those scenarios you should get your living situation in order before worrying about buying stuff like this
>>741686163>oh no i don't have 30cm space on my desk/tv stand/floorsaid nobody ever.
>>741686504>steam deck: exists
>>741678738>2025kek
>>741686163If your prebuilt doesn't come in a Lian li or Fractal case, it's e-waste anyway..
>>741686163>cubecel mogged by actual PCkek when will they learn
>>741679275>Lower prices do not create a healthy ecosystem!Subsidizing is anti-competitive behavior. It makes it impossible for smaller businesses and start-ups to compete. Subsidized everything is why the US companies aren't able to compete internationally without government handout or intervention, and it's why outsourcing labor/production and importing goods became the norm.
>>741686391that applies to the nintendo switch, but here we are.
>>741679275Das rite, Gayben needs another yacht so the margins on the steambox must be very healthy.
>>741686582another weird angle. do people forget tim sweeney makes more money? selling....well, just selling skins to children? its crazy how people dont see how timmy boy has just taken the predatory practices of valve and just fucking juiced them with elephant grade steroids. skins and lootboxes could become illegal TOMORROW and....valves not going out of business, its epic games. valve sells actual games.
>>741686391>here's so few real world scenarios that would preclude someone from having the space for that pc but not a steam machineThe point of the steam machine is so that normies can place it right next to the TV and not having scream GAYMER when people come over.People on /v/ obviously don't care if they have a rainbow monstrosity in their living room, or else have other means of connecting their PC in another room to the living room TV.
>>741686569the main drivers of switch sales is exclusive content, being a hybrid handheld and being the cheapest option among the major playersthe dock's smaller footprint has basically nothing to with it's success
>>741678887Valve, Apple and Nintendo fans are the same breed
>>741686718>exclusive contentwhich...your right. its almost like people will pay for an inferior overpriced product if its more convenient for them
>>741686674just put the pc behind the TV and set the RBGs off
>>741686853yeah unfortunately steam machine's not gonna be more convenient, you're not gonna be able to pop down to any ol' store and grab one on the cheap to shut timmy up
Ive been running an HP Omen for 1.5 years love it got it on the black friday sales 2024. Uninstall the bloat but consider keeping Omen Command Center its kinda handy.
>>741678738>16 liters>5.8 Kgthe Gabecube is 3.8 liters and 2.6Kg.Gaben is trying to sell a console sized thing. He's not trying to sell a PC as such.
>>741686163lay it on its side dipshit. The only dimension that matters is height to fit on the shelf under your TV
>>741682357Yes, but tendies need to keep pushing that narrative because they're tired of being the only genuine cultist fanbase in vidya
It doesn't have HDMI CEC, that alone is worth another $500!
>>741678887If Gabe does it on one of his yachts in international waters, who does he answer to?
>>741686674>normies can place it right next to the TV and not having scream GAYMER when people come over.Anon. Fucking think for a second. If I go to someone's house and I see a steam machine I am not only not going believe they are a normie, but I know they are either mentally ill or retarded and probably obsessed with valve. Every slightly tech adjacent influencer has talked about how shitty of a deal this is. Normie is having a PS5.
>>741686163No bigger than a ps5
>>741687149flag state of the vessel so likely the US considering that's probably where his yacht is registered
>>741686674Normies don't want a PC hooked up to their TV. They simply don't.Gaymers who do this want a PC that's reasonably powerful and not slower than the PC they had 6 years ago.The target audience for Steambox is exactly 3 people who really want to play their Steam library of 2D roguelikes on their TV and also think that paying 1000 bucks for that is reasonable.
>>741686656Yea Tim Sweeny actually gives back a lot more. Unreal Engine, Millions of dollars worth of high quality assets, buys tech an incorporates it for free in UE, Metahuman, which you can use for free in engines other than UE, gives developers money to make games and more.All Gayben does is get fatter and buys more yachts while an army of NPC gamers ride his dick and lick his boots.Tim is classically autistic and far from perfect but it seems he cares/cared more about games than Gayben ever did.
>>741687149Well if the yacht is stateless (doesn't have a flag), then most likely to the US
>>741686674Just put the PC behind the TV. Fucking hell, just get a laptop with HDMI. I feel like steamies have been living in an alternate reality where mini PCs that are just laptops without the screen in a tiny box haven't been around for a decade. I got one that was 200 bucks, it plays everything at 720p, and is fine for casuals. Any real gamer will have an actual rig and an actual monitor, so the steam machine is for nobody.
>>741687686>Unreal Engine>sfm and source engine doesnt existlmao okay, but cool, unreal engine is good for games, huh? id like to try one, perhaps....unreal. sounds like the game to test it out with, right? where do i buy unreal?
>>741687686>Tim uses fortnite money to buy forests to protect them, improve UE5 and give away free assets in relation to game creation so we get more video games, they also fund developers to make their games like Ueda >Gabe just pockets the money, buys mansions and yachts and never use the money for anythingIt's easy to see how evil Valve is in comparison.
>HPfuck nonever going back to that piece of shit company ever againnumber one top dawg in the hardware-as-a-service industrywhy the fuck should I have to pay for another ink refill if I only ran out of ONE color and has built in printer ink DRM
>>741687835Source engine is just the quake 2 engine with decades of tech debt layered on to it for years. Almost no third party games use the source engine because it sucks. How many movies/video have you seen made with the source film maker? I have seen ZERO because it's shit. I have seen a lot of music videos, shows and movies that have used the unreal engine for VFX.Also what does Gayben's dick taste like because it seems you love ramming it deep into your throat.> where do i buy unreal?You don't it's free, something greedy Gayben would never understand because he has a massive fatass to sustain.
>>741678887even reddit hates the price bro
>>741687883gabe uses the money to fund deep sea research. tim sweeney is just taking advantage of trump allowing loggers to gut the forests. kinda smart, hes gonna make probably trillions turning america in a parking lot.
>>741678887Gabe smiling while beheading some radom bum no one would miss would actually be quailty media and Im upset its not a thing now.
>>741687990>unreal movies are good>games made on unreal are good
>>741685983i was able to find it pretty easyhttps://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/omen-16l-gaming-desktop-tg03-0055m-pc
>>741688040>gabe uses the money to fund deep sea research.You mean lie to the government to get tax breaks on his yacht so he can keep even more of his money instead of contributing to society because he's a fat greedy fuck? That research?
>>741688076Just like all media, it's the creator and not the tool the decides if the outcome will be good or not. I can see it would be hard to understand this when Gayben is balls deep in your throat.
>>741688120yeah. better than sweeny who sold 49% to china lmao. LITERALLY to china, shits nuts lmao
>>741688178oh i just watch the stuff and see its bad, your sucking dicks to make decisions now? well...whatever.

>>741678887Gabe is a jew and white goyim love everything that jews tell them to do and to buy. Addiction to kike stick will never end.
>>741688120James Cameron was also super into the Titantic and was brought in to discuss the the imploding sub awhile back. Rich people do shit like this. Or go to space.
all thanks to boomers and indians using AI!
>my 1500 pc from 6 years ago is better than a steamboxjej

>>741678970>>741679380>>741679830found the indians
>>741679175Do you realize the steam machine thermal throttles after 5 minutes of max load? Like a fucking macbook
>>741678887Thank you for your invaluable input on the matter, MitsukiSAAR.
>>741687034In which case he should've made the cube bigger, akin to ps5 and xbox size. And consequently increase its power budget so it doesn't suck as much.
>>741679175Now look at the thermals on the steam machine kek. That CPU is some hot garbage because of power limits and needing to keep cool
I honestly don't understand why people think they should be able to build a PC for less than $1000, I've never even considered that people actually want to spend less than that.
>>741688040>>741688230not even water territory protection, just a vague claim of "research"?
>>741678887Gabedrones are on of the most chuddy and incely fandoms, similar to FromDrones
>>741679209Based yachtgod, all is forgiven.
>>741679416I got a used 4090 HP Omen from a coworker and it’s great
>>741678738In my country that exact PC build costs more than the steam machine
>>741678738>7 months ago
sad story is that all of these alternatives to the cube and the cube itself are worthless cause 16gb of ram isnt enough for a lot of games, more if you have stuff open in the background
>>741678738But where's the steam branding?
>>7416935578gb VRAM is a much larger issue
>>741678887they learned well from nintendo
>>741679275I guess it makes sense since they can't earn any money from online subscriptions unlike other consoles, but it still reminded me of how jewish they were with Artifact by making a pay2play game where you also have to buy the card packs with real life money and no way to earn them in-game unlike other online card games.
>>741678887Usually Aquajeet doesn’t make such lunaticular claims. Either this is an imposter or he’s drunk on paneer wine.
>>741686674There are those magical things called laptops.
>>741693410in every country it does that was a very special sale that's already sold out
>>741678738>11/28/25Fuck all you shitposters I got excited for a second. Even on HP's own site it's $600 and it's out of stock. Everywhere else it's at bare minimum double that price. Suck on gaben's dick. Choke on it.
>>741686163what retards places a pc tower standing up? enjoy your GPU sagging your motherboard into scrap retard
>>741678887Unironically steamies are becoming wii era nintendies, they also shit on gog(an objectively superior service) when you bring that upIt's weird because they have started to equate PC with the storefront known as SteamIt's consolewarrior behavior
>>741678738>HP
>>741679530That's a worse machine for practically the same price and 6x as big.
Why. The. Fuck. People. Keep. Replying. To. Aquautist.
>>741679275This is the most pathetic thing I ever read. Sony/Nintendo/MS take 30% per game and run digital stores AND subsidize their systems while this leech takes 30% and rationalizes investing it in growing the ecosystem is bad. This is just money extraction on another level.
>>741694385it's samefagging
>>741679275I mean. If they subsidised it, they would have to make it only allow stram games and remove desktop mode for it to make financial sense for them. So yes that's correct
>>741694385It's samefagging. It's pure consolewarrior mental illness.
>>741679275>subsidize the steam machine>everyone and their mother trips over themselves to buy one>uses it as a regular computer and never touches steamSubsidizing it would be shooting themselves in the foot.
>>741694389>nintendo>subsidizing their system>ever>any of the big three subsidizing their system right now and not just racking up the price and spreading out price increases all over everythinglol
>>741694547The japanese S2 is subsidized in 40%
>>741678738I never understood the appeal of mini pc's, like what is the point? >what if you want to travelthat's what laptops are for
>not even 12gb VRAM in 2026Dafuq
>>741680053Can you use steam OS without an account?
>>741694408If its samefaggong why mod wont ban for samefag, he did it to me though. Hyporcrites
>>741690123Lmao proof? Everyone has been praising the thermals on the steam machine
>>741694708This is a 1080 machine it can't do anything else anyways so I consider this less of an issue than SINGLE CHANNEL ram and fucking 512 storage
>>741680027>5050literal garbage
>>741687089>the only genuine cultist fanbase in vidyaIf you really think tendies are the only ones like this, you're probably blind.
>>741694567Not anymore it isn't.
>>741682502That's so fucking shit, the Steam Machine out performs 3060 (non-Ti) according to benchmarks. 3050 and 8GB of system RAM -literally half of the Steam Machine, which people already say doesn't have enough, for 1000 dollars? Sign me up.
>>741687149The Lord.
>>741680027GamersNexus already estimated a $79 premium over DIY for the 1tb version and a 200$ premium for the 2TBTheres a lot of interesting bespoke work that went into making the proprietary cooler and case as well as the huge amount of software work getting proton to reach higher levels of compatibility (which is available to any machine that can run steam os or Linux for free).The thing has no value other than being a fun tech toy for those that love interesting tech in small packages but it's at least clear that there's hardly the same massive markup from other competitors like HP. It's evident to most that Steam didn't subsidize because they'd probably have it used against them in court where they're being sued for being a monopoly
>>741680053>All Valve has to do is develop software that turns this thing into an editing machine/streaming box and they can kill Microsoft because the hardware itself goes up in value over time because it gains more functionalityNot when they're selling them at a thousand bucks a pop with a limited stock.
>>741694831And yet it's better than the Steam Machine.
>>741678887>SAARime postercringe
>>741688083>1500That's literally more than the complete steam machine with controller, can't you read numbers?
>>741695846it's the exact model in OP's screenie, not my fault HP are charging $1500 for it now
>>741679275Subsidizing requires locked down system and that would be pretty bad for the ecosystem. Do you really want a PC that you can't do anything but play steam games just so you can save some money on the hardware?
>>741696012Nigga, the whole argument is that it was cheaper than the valve machine and you say "here i've found a more expansive pc that has more performance", yeah no shit Sherlock.No, you did not found that 600 bucks pc because that first pc doesn't exist anymore, everything is more expensive and the steam machine as much as it hurts costs as much as it should be, everyone is saying that's not the case while presenting more expensive or slighty less expensive but worse at the same time pcs.
>>741678887Gabe should kill timmy on stream
>>741678887What are you talking about? Everybody is shitting on it.
>>7416895091500 six years ago is the equivalent of 3200 now thanks to money printer goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>741696210>OP posts old ass screenshot of black friday deal of some HP prebuilt before ram/storage crisis>everyone posts the "current equivalent" with a 3050 because the original is apparently not being sold anymore>i post the listing of OP's machine proving it is indeed for sale and now for a considerably higher price>"dude wtf why is that one you posted more expensive than the steam machine now?"???
