Following on from the success of the Steam Deck, Valve is creating its very own ecosystem of products. The Steam Frame, Steam Machine, and Steam Controller are all set to launch in the new year. We’ve tried each of them and here’s what you need to know about each one.
“From the Frame to the Controller to the Machine, we’re a fairly small industrial design team here, and we really made sure it felt like a family of devices, even to the slightest detail,” Clement Gallois, a designer at Valve, tells me during a recent visit to Valve HQ. “How it feels, the buttons, how they react… everything belongs and works together kind of seamlessly.”

So uh, ahem.

Valve can indeed count to three.
Ah yes lol, for all the average consumers with 8K TVs, who really need full 8K detail to notice the subtle variation in vector widths in like, Silksong.
… 8K is an actual scam, holy shit, you can do the angular resolution math, and 8K basically only even theoretically makes sense in a VR headset, and thats before you even think about price.
