Wait, Steam made a console?

One of their multiple attempts to give Linux a boost because somehow, the morons at Valve thought Linux could become a rival to Windows. Well, on Steam Linux still has a user-share way below 1%. So no wonder the whole thing, Linux as future, SteamOs and the console bombed.
ThePersonaWeeb
TRIED to make one
bob
Exactly what I said out loud
Agent Wolf

It doesn’t play disks, disks are a very underrated “feature”…
Jessica
@TFLAN yeah he prolly dont ever go to stores
Vauban Man
Steam games don’t require disks so adding a disk drive would be pointless
Vauban Man
@*Floofy shibe* if a console is bricked (depending on if the account was online or not) the account wouldn’t be harmed unless you got banned also yes the disk is salvageable. As for the steam machine since steam isn’t a disk based gaming service and your account is also online if it bricked you could still play all your games on pc or another steam machine.

I got one when it was brand new and it was only $350 bucks. It played all games on max graphics for years and still handles most games pretty well. I am still using it as my casual living room gaming PC to this day.
Game Bros
The version this guy has is trash but the gtx 960 version was a monster.

It has a Alienware logo on it. I bet it’s 3.000$

Is the steam machine pay to play online?
metta
Its doesn’t, it uses you’re steam Account so basically it does not have the whole “Pay to Play Online” Feature

Dell, more like Hell.
Clarence alteria
BlackPhoenix Family they start to make a less powerful and less customizable laptop currently.
I miss upgrading availability like their m18x, changing laptops gpu and cpu like a fucking desktop is really satisfying.
Badger 2357
no because there over priced
FarukTTA
why Dell Is one of the best gamming laptop company no Stupid Led Coloured Keyboard doesnt have a case that is more then 5 KG doesnt have 5 or 6 Fans or random Stripes its just a black Machine that runs perfectly

Don’t you mean when VALVE made a console?
Mohammed Al-Odailah
While steam machine did objectively fail. I can see it rippling effect to this day. with more game releases considering Linux, and the current Vulcan trend.

Steam OS is now better.
