Valve does nothing and still wins

Today was a big day for gamers as Valve just introduced three products: the Steam Controller, the Steam Machine, and the Steam Frame. When you add this alongside the Steam Deck, I think it’s safe to say that Valve is about to win the next console generation.

    I don’t doubt that.

    I think familiarity is also important, maybe more so than ease of use.

    A lot of people know Windows and how to use it (at least for the basics.)

    Steam OS is still extremely niche.

    That’s why I think the Steam Machine has to have price on its side to push people to consider buying a gaming-focused PC rather than a more general purpose gaming laptop. Particularly when everyone is struggling with rising costs.
