Thoughts on Steam Machine?

noisyturtle:


I like it personally. I think it is a good direction for the future of gaming hardware, a harmonizing of console and PC features with the option of how to utilize it up to the end user.

snozberries:
Really excited to see how it does. I think it will open the door to PC gaming to a lot of people that are used to a traditional console experience.

villagepillage:
Somewhat interested. Curious if this is to be for non PC gamers or try to be a machine strictly for PC gamers to use.

noisyturtle:
Spoke to a couple dudes who work at Valve, and yeah, they are just waiting for memory prices to come down.
Gives 'em more time to perfect it, which isn't a bad thing. Production costs would just be too crazy for the current global economic situation, but I doubt they can put it off all the way till Dump is OOO

I think it could revolutionize transportation and industrial production...
But I fear it will threaten the horse-carriage industry and skilled manual labor :(

Serious mode ON
A small black box that can play PC games, but has the convenience of a console, and a price somewhere in between? Great!
