I have been thinking quite a bit about the Steam Machine pricepoint.

To be honest, it's not that bad. At this point I'm not going to be surprised if it's sold out quickly. People like to pay extra for convenience, damn the specs and all. Devs are going to target it as they did with the Steam Deck and are doing with Switch 2.

Steam OS is going to be a Linux Distro that will accumulate a lot of users over time and will be a gateway for new Linux users. The Steam Deck did that for me.

Linux users in general will be the winners here tbh.

I have seen a lot of doom and gloom on here. But I have seen the same for the Switch 2 and the Steam Deck post price range and those things sre selling well. I'd say the reaction is mostly a bubble thing.
