12:50 - “This is important to point out right now. Steam Machine streaming, not supported yet. They are working on that, but for now you’re going to be using a Windows PC.”

Disappointing

    They might sell it near cost, since the only practical way to use it is through Steam. I understand why they didn’t do that with the Steam Machine, because that’s very easy to use without Steam.

        I mean, near cost still wouldn’t be a good price, but there’s not a lot of advantage to sell it at a high price for them. Much less reason for anyone to buy into their VR ecosystem rather than Meta’s.

        They did with the Steam Deck too. I don’t think Valve is worried about super-technical people. It’s if it’s easy enough for the everyday user to use it without Steam. The Machine is super easy to use without Steam, and it’s useful as a computer. A cluster of Frames wouldn’t be very useful.

        At least that’s my take on it.
