      There’s a type of person who associates being number one with being the only thing that has value. When something with less power by their metrics does well by different metrics it’s an assault on their worldview. It’s the same reason truck drivers get angry at hybrid drivers.

          We have all heard of the steam machine. But valve has released so much more successful hardware since then.

            The article is about the new steam machine. I’m talking about the “steam machine” or non-handheld specifically.

        The steam machine is not at all the last thing they released. The steam deck, the valve index, and the HTC Vive were all considerably successful hardware releases since the failure of the original steam machine.

          In regard to the article being a desktop console. My apologies for thinking that was obvious.

        the last time they released something

        Maybe you just didn’t know that the last time they released something was the Deck?

        You should check it out, it’s pretty cool!

          Article is about a desktop console. I was referring to the desktop consoles. My apologies for thinking that was obvious.

              I updated the original comment, it’s not a pivot, it’s being more verbose for those like yourself who are less inclined to understanding, and more eager to grab the dopamine from being mean.
