    Consoles have just been proprietary PCs since the Xbox 360. It’s a wonder they’ve lasted this long.

    Still crossing my fingers and waiting for Steam Machines 😔

      If you have Steam on your pc, you have a steam machine. Plug it into your tv if you want a bigger screen experience

        You obviously don’t understand what those words mean.

        I have a Steam Machine. But many many more would have them if Valve sold them directly.

          What is the difference? You can buy a smaller PC, install Bazzite OS on it and plug it into your tv. Voila, you now have a steam console. Quite literally. lol

            1. A Steam Machine runs SteamOS
            2. SteamOS does not, at any time, require a mouse or keyboard
            3. Gamescope

                No, what you suggested was:

                If you have Steam on your pc, you have a steam machine.
