Full announcement soon. All this new hardware, Valve must have a game to go with it... Is it finally time?! :mrk:


 
I'd probably get the VR headset just to play HL:Alyx. :sly:

Steam Machine has no use for me (or you :cwink:), but it does look like a nice SFF PC with Linux/SteamOS.
 



A low-end'ish PC. I'm curious about the price...
 
So what's going to hurt this is the inability to play multiplayer online games due to anti-cheat and developers refusing to support Linux or Proton.
 
Tempted to try the OG:

Tom Henderson is also teasing a big game coming next March.


And some credible HL/Valve dataminers are teasing an announcement soon™.

I usually like Snazzy Labs, but this is a stupid take.
 
So I was intially excited by this news but after it's been a couple of weeks, I'm not really sure to think of it. To me it initally given the specs it seemed like this was something geared towards people with average PCs and/or console players. But based on interviews and released information, it seems like the price may potentially be higher like $700+. I realize that parts are expensive thus part of the appeal is it comes with everything you need but eh...At that point I feel you might as well build your own PC since you'll have more freedom for customization.

I guess I just don't know who this is made for lol. I was hoping it was something aimed at me, primarily console gamer who has never had a great PC thus never bothered with PC games but it doesn't seem like that's the case.

So many in Tech YouTube are hoping this thing is priced like the PS5 Pro, but I agree that it will be more expensive.
