Linux already made a small pc in the current market that btfo'd the gabecube 2x or 3x in some games so yeah it's a piece of shit that valve faithful will buy because it has a valve logo on it.

Yeah, it was all outright lies or "technically true" statements that need so much clarification and caveats that they might as well be lies.

>4K60
that was indeed a lie, even with upscaling it can't do it in most modern AAA
>Faster than 70% of gaming PCs!
>Plays all modern games
the problem with these statement is that wether people like to admit it or not, the vast majority of PC players are still on 1080p, and at that resolution the Steam Machine is indeed better than 70% of gaming PCs, cause at 1080p it can indeed play most if not all modern games at max settings, at least at 60fps, but also way more in most games.
>>
>>741862827
I'll quote myself from another thread, but it was never faster than 70% of the gaming PCs it was actually competing against:
>The data for the Steam hardware survey is collected globally, but the Steam Machine is only sold in the more affluent regions of the world.
>So from the very start the real question was "Is it better than what people already have, in the market we're going to sell it in?".
>>
>>741863039
i get your logic, but there's a fatal flaw
the regions in which the steam machine is not available are so minuscule in steam users count that even if you removed them entirely from the survey, 1080p would still be the resolution most players are at, so the statement would still be true,
imho, the real problem lies in the "4K60fps" claim, cause it warps the perception of what the rest of the statements say
or to say it differently, what they're saying is:
>it can do 4K 60fps in few selected titles
>it is faster than 70% of gaming PCs cause 70% of gaming PCs run at 1080p and with GPUs weaker than RX6000 series and RTX 30XX series
>it can play all modern games at 1080p 60fps and higher fps
but since they instead pushed on 4K upscaled 60fps, the perception of their statements was warped into
>it can do 4K upscaled 60fps in most games(lie, it can't)
>since it can do the above, it's faster than most PCs used for the same 4K upscaling result(false, most PCs able to do 4K upscaled 60fps perform better than the steam machine)
>since it can do the above, it plays most games(true, but not the way they presented it, so "false")

in short, they didn't lie about it being faster than 70% of PCs and being able to run all modern games, cause it can at 1080p and 70% of PCs run at 1080p, but their focus and push on upscaled 4K turned the other statements into lies cause people will use that upscaled 4K goal as base.

they didnt technically lie, but it doesnt really matter cause cause it still looks like they lied

Not true actually, while I don't think Valve officially discloses the number of users per country we can use server traffic as a proxy, and if anything it's more useful since it filters out inactive accounts.
Going by those numbers China is the biggest in terms of a single country, Brazil and Russia are also massive, ironically India isn't that big as one would expect:

1080p is also overrepresented for the same reason, and since the Machine was intended as a console it will be connected to a TV and even the cheap TVs have been 4k for years now.
Like I said, they made "technically true" statements that need so much clarification and caveats that they might as well be lies.

MLID lost his shit because he kept pushing it will be $500 even when the memory crisis was going on full steam ahead. Begrudgingly he moved it up a few hundred dollars (controller included) when it was too obvious he can not hide behind "I did bom cost for work, trust me bro" anymore. And now he was fucked again.
His another retarded meme is assuming the PS6 will be $600 and he will be fucked with that as well. He completely lost the plot. He thinks because he can buy some parts for a single rig on newegg or at microcenter then everything should be priced accordingly to that.
>>741860352
Heh, this.

>Like I said, they made "technically true" statements that need so much clarification and caveats that they might as well be lies.
which is what i said?
>they didnt technically lie, but it doesnt really matter cause cause it still looks like they lied
>>
>>741864260
You can't even get parts to make a rig like that for 500 from Microcenter so he must be very delusional.
>>
>>741864558
Yes I was pointing out I said the same thing already, written communication is hard when you have autism sorry.
But I still disagree with your point on the number of users outside of the region they sell the Steam Machine.
Any way you look at it either Valve said this to overstate how powerful the Machine is and hype it up, or they actually deluded themselves into thinking it was good enough, without accurately gauging how it will stack up in the market they're actually selling it in.
Neither paints them in a good light, they're either deceitful or incompetent.
>>
>>741859096
It just competes badly
>>
Valve needs to put all their eggs in the steamos basket. They need to make it so good at running games that any given game on steam machine in 2030 will run 2x or 3x better than in 2026.

Unfortunately, regarding talent, I think valve is nowadays with only few talented people in its ranks. Infinite money from steam did breed complacency and laziness. It feels like the valve hardware is some uni research project that’s not expected to have meaningful results and that’s only conducted so that the professors don’t lose their tenure.

>>741864769
Last time he was showing he could put together something like the Machine around $700 and Valve should get better deals because they order in bulk. Naturally he did not want to understand Valve already made it obvious with the radio silence they do not have anything like that in their company. They don't have a proper hardware division with experts or they would have gotten the ram in time.
As for the PS6 it obviously won't be a $1000 but won't be $600 either. His delusion coming from some "internal documents" where they state it needs to be cheap. I'm getting fucking tired of his sensational takes where he keeps hyping up every new hardware. Next Zen will be dirt cheap and several times as performant OHHH.
He keeps pushing the retardation about the Helix providing 5080-90 tier performance for $1200 holy shit.
