    Unlike your itx system, the steammachine is going to be reference hardware, much like how games got a Steamdeck profile, there will be games with a Steammachine profile.

      That’s literally not a selling point imo. Also, I’ve literally never used a “steamdeck” preset on my steam deck.

        You don’t think games optimized for a Steam Machine isn’t going to be a selling point?
        And just because you haven’t manually used a Steamdeck preset, I’m willing to bet that the game did it for you.

          The settings are optimized, not the game itself. There’s quite a big difference between those two. Why are you assuming that there would be special versions of games for the steam machine if there aren’t any for the steam deck?

          And no, if I tell you that I’ve never used a steam deck preset, it’s because I haven’t. I always tweak the settings myself or at the very least check them.
