I have. They never had all of these issues in the article (those are not minor). If they did I’d return them because they obviously were malfunctioning.
Of course, I haven’t had any of the issues described in the article. Sleep mode works fine with the games I’ve been playing. In fact the steam machine wakes up in a working state more often than my apple TV.
This is fun, it looks like Xbox series x had basically the resume game issues at launch:
Because those other consoles are not general purpose computers that have value without the original locked down OS. A steam machine is just a compact desktop computer that happens to have a fancy version of steam on it. The fact that the OS is largely open source and hackable and the fact that valve contributes uncountable amounts of dev hours worth of code back to the FOSS community also helps.
Nah they dont get a pass (as you can clearly see from this article…) but people will be less critical than for the companies that have been established in the console hardware sector for multiple decades. People that are too consoomer brained to deal with a couple temporary bugs should just buy consoles and stay boring.
This exact level of lying from PC-biased people (taking a few malfunctioning consoles and extrapolating to all) is exactly why a lot of people find it so easy to avoid PC gaming.
Nothing about consoles are boring compared to this Steam Machine shit show you’re all scrambling to defend.
To me any device that cant load a custom operating system isnt even worth talking about, so yeah the steam machine just wins no matter what as long as it works as a computer. Open hardware rocks :D
Yeah, to the majority of gamers that is work. People mostly just want frictionless gaming. The Steam Machine promised to remove the annoyances of everything-PC you mentioned and then failed to do so.
Replace Steam Machine with Xbox or PlayStation 5 and the internet would melt down.
How do some companies get away with inferior product releases while some can’t?
Have you ever purchased a console at launch? There are always minor issues like the ones described here.
I have. They never had all of these issues in the article (those are not minor). If they did I’d return them because they obviously were malfunctioning.
Same question: Have you?
You ever heard of the red ring of death? And that was a hardware issue, not a software issue that can be patched.
Yeah, console had to be reissued. Way to prove my point about the backlash.
Now, same energy towards your overpriced Steam Deck that can barely hit 1080p and has basic functions fail.
No?

Man, people obviously lying is the most hilarious sub-genre of internet comedy.
Did you really say it wakes up better than your appleTV?
Thanks for the laugh. Saving this exchange.
Sure, it’s certainly plex’s fault but still true.
Because those other consoles are not general purpose computers that have value without the original locked down OS.

The fact that the OS is largely open source and hackable and the fact that valve contributes uncountable amounts of dev hours worth of code back to the FOSS community also helps.
So if it’s PC architecture it gets a pass for being mediocre and for malfunctioning/failing at basic functions.
Got it.

That controller is pretty damned good, though.

I’ll continue waiting.
Cope harder bro
Lmao. Ok.
