Because many games cannot be bought and downloaded directly because developers and publishers lack the server space and bandwidth to host their game for mass download and outsource that service alongside payment processing to third party storefronts such as steam, epic, and GOG, of which steam is broadly the most functional and has the largest library

Hardware unboxed covered this. Worth the watch honestly. It's nothing to do with tight margins, they want to make money on the steam machine and are selling something not worth the price because they want to make money. AI ram and HDD prices have very little to do with it.

a console has locked down operating system
with xbox you have to buy everything from microsoft and everything was approved by microsoft
you have no choice

with steam you're choosing to install it because they offer the most games and have the most consumer friendly store
if you don't want it you can throw pennies to timmy or gog or pirate
and your hardware is not locked to steam
you have a choice

>>741858084
>it's not an open ecosystem because those entities with a closed ecosystem are denying you access to it because they fear competition

>>
>>741858383
retard
open ecosystem means you have access to it while being able to go somewhere else
installing another games launcher takes 2 minutes

the same thing on console is innately impossible, you either have to buy another piece of hardware for $500+ or wait for a jailbreak that permanently fucks up your console

I'm not buying a Steam Machine, because I don't need it, but I do hope it sells and that it gets third party companies to market their own variants, that offer good performance for acceptable prices.

You aren't buying the steam machine, you don't care for it at best. Why go out of your way to shit on people who enjoy themselves or get excited about a thing? There's something demented about that mentality. Though I don't think most of you are that way, it all seems like inorganic consensus cracking flooding

But are these selling points worth $1k when it gets outperformed by a base PS5 that costs like $600? When the superior performance has been the main draw of PC gaming for years?
It's too expensive to attract console gamers, so they aren't going to expand their market.
It's too weak, if you're into PC gaming you likely already have something more powerful. Also, I expect PC gamers to not care about something being plug and play.
If you want another PC to set up in your living room for couch gaming, why didn't you just build one earlier? Why does it need to be Valve's? You had small form factor cases for a very long time, or you could always just build a regular PC, turn off the RGB bullshit and just leave it in a shelf or something.
There's essentially no scenario where defending or wanting a Steam Machine isn't just pure brand loyalty. You want it because Valve is making it, everything else is an excuse.
