    This is the whole point of Steam OS. It’s not embarrassing for Valve. The only reason this doesn’t already happen with Play Station and Xbox is because its illegal.

    Every SteamOS install is a finger in the eye of Sony and Microslop and I’m here for it.

      The only reason this doesn’t already happen with Play Station and Xbox is because its illegal.

      And because the operating system is proprietary. They can’t build a Playstation or Xbox without having the operating system, and their services builtin to play those games. So its not just illegal, it is technically “impossible” to have a functional alternative to their consoles.
