WTF GABEN?!

The Steam Machine finally has a price, and... the internet hasn't reacted calmly. The base 512 GB model costs $1,049, or 4,389 PLN, while the 2 TB version with the Steam Controller tops out at over 6,000 PLN. In this article, we examine what Valve is actually selling: a console, a living room PC, hardware for SteamOS fans, or a niche box for enthusiasts. We discuss specifications, early reviews, Gamers Nexus tests, performance, SteamOS issues, and the most important question: does the Steam Machine make sense at this price? Valve doesn't want to charge extra for hardware because they don't want to build a closed ecosystem like traditional console manufacturers. This sounds great conceptually. The problem is that freedom comes at a price—and with over a thousand dollars for the base model, many gamers can simply choose a console or a more powerful PC. Let us know in the comments: would you buy a Steam Machine at this price, or has Valve gone crazy? Chapters: 0:00 The Steam Machine finally has a price.
