My bet is February next year for the release date announcement.

ok so if I were to wager, then it'll see release sometime around October I bet.

Check this out, linked below. I feel so bad for any 11th hr employees affected by this nonsense.

Today, Business Korea (as spotted by Eurogamer) reported that the company has “begun offering resignation support to all employees.” Business Korea writes that the resignations would be voluntary, with severance based on years of employment.

Have there been any reliable leaks on timing? Are we thinking like a year from now, or maybe even as close as this winter/spring?

If it's a year from now, I think I'll get my friend a framework desktop instead. If it's sooner, I may wait for THE MACHINE!

any kind of name would be better than Steam Machine LOL ... aka an iron.

I would love to have a Gamecube themed one of these though! And also a skin wrap for the steam controller that changes the controller colors to gc colors!

I'm tempted, but Ubi has so so so soooooooo lost their way. I can only imagine all the good people left long ago due to corporate enshittification and what's left just .... aren't the best?

Example: Star Wars Outlaws. So extremely frustrating. They absolutely nailed the worldbuilding, art, audio, and then the actual gameplay was a combination of extremely boring plus extremely frustrating. The entire thing felt like it was a game made by a committee of accountant suits who have never actually played a game before.

Only question I'm asking myself is whether to get an oled steam deck now, or wait.. worried ill buy one now and it will be discounted next year or something, but with their focus on steam machine 2.0 at least I don't have to worry about a steam deck 2 round the corner as its probably a long way off atm

Yall really think 1080p is the common res for living room tvs? Here in the US, I don't think I know anyone with a 1080p tv. Can you even still buy them? I mean like if I go to costco, every single set is 4k. And you can get the low end ones for around $200. I would wager highly that the common tv res in the states is 4k.

Which means the "machine" will struggle. Or just use all that upscaling / framegen that I cannot stand. I guess that'll make people playing on the couch happy though, because the other consoles all do it too. So maybe no big deal.

On a basic point, this is so exciting! Getting more stuff like this out into the masses is so awesome!!! As Liam said, I'm hoping this is another tipping point!! woooo!!

I have no interest in vr at all, and I already game in the living room on my plex server, so not in the market for the "machine", but DEFINITELY in the market for the controller. I think the layout seems pretty weird (has there ever been a layout like this before?) and doesn't it look like we will all be activating the track pads with our palms constantly all the time? I mean, can't be, so whatever, I'm in for sure on that controller!

I've never used an auto install mod list for openmw before but now I DEFINITELY want to try it. Might even give it a go later this week! Exciting! Thank you for the link.

Oh man, does this mean I need to book another day off of work to install mods and then fire up the game? I think so right ... ?
