Габен показал Steam Machine — и началась тряска

(Telegram, Twitch, Boosty) HERE: https://dalink.to/blackkumys The Steam Machine turned out to be expensive, and the internet has already denounced it, comparing it to the PlayStation 5, Xbox, and a custom PC, declaring Valve a failure even before its launch. But is it really that simple? In this talk, I explore why the $1,049 Steam Machine has sparked such a furor, why it's unfair to compare it to regular consoles, and why I still want one despite the price. The main question isn't whether it's expensive or cheap. The main question is why you need a Steam Machine. If you want maximum performance for every dollar, a custom PC might be more logical. If you just need a console, you can consider a PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch. But the Steam Machine offers a different scenario: a small PC for the living room, SteamOS, access to the Steam library, integration with Steam Deck, the freedom of PC gaming, and the convenience of a console format. In this video, we discuss the price of Steam Machines, the reasons for the hardware price hike, issues with RAM and storage, comparisons with PS5 and Xbox Game Pass, the cost of games in different ecosystems, the pros and cons of SteamOS, the form factor, custom SteamOS PCs, and why Valve isn't forcing you to buy the official box, but instead offers the opportunity to build your own Steam Machine. Yes, Steam Machines are expensive. Yes, the price is steep. Yes, you can build a more powerful one. But sometimes you pay not just for FPS, but for the finished device, convenience, form factor, Steam library on your TV, and the lack of desire to build another PC yourself. So my position is simple: it's expensive, it's painful, but I'll take it. Don't forget to subscribe to "Black Kumys" and visit Telegram for details on the Steam Controller giveaway.
