–Apologies for shitty thumbnail–

Looks like some kind of review embargo has been released, ETA Prime’s apparently been sitting on a review model Steam Machine for a month.

EDIT 2:

This is all on the same day that we get news that… AMD figured out how to make FSR4 work on RDNA 3 / 7000 series GPUs, and, Steam is currently or just about to push a beta Proton update to Experimental, which will give this thing (as well as any PC w/ AMD 7000 series GPU) FSR4 support for basically any game that currently supports FSR3.

    Wasn’t willing to be a lost leader

    It’s literally a PC. IT departments all over the world would have absolutely no problem taking this hardware, and using it for their open office hell. Steam would get absolutely zero dollars. Steam needs the hardware to stand on its own

      I’m not faulting them (look at what happened with the PS3), but it was still a point towards its price being higher than the folks that thought it’d be priced closer to a PS5 or Xbox Series.
