Steam Machine

[Basman]

It's finally got a price and release date (about a stack).

I'd really want one but it's a little expensive to justify when I already have a decent PC. For once a PC that isn't a giant RGB monster. Really bad timing with AI though, hence the price.

Power users (Redditors) will scoff at the performance but it's statistically an upgrade for what the average gamer actually has.

You cant own any game on the system. Just get a pc.

I could probably sue steam right there on the website it says my games. I dont even own the game.

If blockbuster gave me a physical game, but if they went out of business they take my game back, is that my game?

Its way too expensive.

Buy a game system to get the opportunity to pay for games you dont even own.

I bet you wont even play 1600 dollars worth of games on it.

At least with a computer you can do other things, Im not sure what the steam machine does.

A computer is infinitely times better. Its just a computer with severe limitations.

It's a PC dude. 

It's expensive but considering the current market the price is relatively reasonable. New consoles aren't going to be much cheaper. We live in a post-AI world.
