Which are your predictions of the Steam Machine and desktop gaming, using SteamOS, as for know

:gold: Discussion

I was really thrilled of the Steam Machine and the desktop experience of SteamOS. But even I had lost my enthusiasm.

  • First we had the delays of the Steam Machine, this didn't affect me I could build my own Steam Machine and I understood due to RAMageddon and tariffs.

  • Second we had the price, this also didn't affect me, as I said, I can build my own Steam Machine and I think they made their best effort to make it as cheap as possible.

  • Third, they put the minimal performance for games to be verified at 1080p 30fps for a DESKTOP PLATFORM! That really affect me, for a desktop platform the minimal performance should be 1440p, 1080p at 30 fps... is the Steam Machine as powerful as the Switch 2? As I said, that made me lost a lot of enthusiasm.

So I'm already fully committed to the Steam Machine, but I'm no longer too enthusiastic.. but let me know, which are your predictions?
