Agreed. The primary benefit of Steam is that it updates my games and manages installing them all from one centralized location.
This is why I keep paying into Steam, plus their Linux support obviously.
If Gog got their Gog Galaxy client rolling I might register a gog account.
Origin on the other hand, there's no way in hell I'm investing into their abusive content distribution, after loosing $120 to Star Wars The Old Republic Online only to be hassled for a credit card and $20 for first month to get 30 days free - EA can rot in hell.

Quoting: GuestQuoting: wleoncioGOG is really trying to empty everyone's wallet before Steam. I like this competition. :)
Sadly I've actually held off buying some things because of convenience: I prefer DRM-free, but GOG hasn't released Galaxy for GNU/Linux. Real competition might start (for GNU/Linux) if GOG would actually do that.

This looks like a nice visual update.
The picture would seem to indicate a breaking up of the pad into 4 buttons by the cross deadzone. Would this indicate 4 different actions or i wonder the meaning.

It seems only fair to run the tests on SteamOS in my opinion. Seriously Ubuntu is trash

Unreal Tournament 4 needs a Linux Client badly so we don't have to manually update our UT4 installs from the tar.gz
If you talk to developers about their coding I think you'll find most of us do many odd things and simply enjoy the inventiveness of testing the hypothesis "Can I do.... X". Most of us never ask "Should I", or "Is this practical".
And then there scenarios where bugs become features like the . prefix in Linux indicating hidden files started out as a bug but became a feature later.
Quoting: Raven67854Seems odd to go through all of this work rather than use Unreal Engine 4's native Linux version. But hey! Could be cool for other projects like MonoGame.

The old graphics look has a rose-colored-glasses charm to it.
It's too bad this isn't out on Linux yet, I don't mind the cheesyness it reminds me of G-NOME by 7th Level - at this rate I'll have tons of games and 0 time :(
Maybe I can send a Steam Machine through a Time Warp to old me when I was screwing around in dependency hell on Fedora Core 2.

Dell set to introduce beefed up Steam Machines

Considering the GPU looks to be soldered to the motherboard I think it probably is more economical to have 1 motherboard for both products.
The CPU on the other hand is replaceable and WINE games are much heavier on the CPU, so in the event that there are wine wraps they'll run better on the i7 no doubt.
I think you also have to take into account that this is a pretty small gaming console box. Even with my Mini ITX motherboard my standard ATX PSU makes my case huge at minimum in the Corsair 380T.
You're paying for the Alienware name, the compactness and portability, and the future success of Steam vs PS4/XBONE/Nintendo/WindowsPC
I would also like to see some AMDGPU Polaris 4XX Steam Machines by the end of the year. The open driver makes it increasingly appealing. I may be crazy enough to get one of these when I get some extra cash to complete my living room gaming experience.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTFinally a 1070 Steam Mashine would be nice. The 960 was only half of the 970's. It's the same with 10xx. :/ And for 800 € I'd like to have a xx70!

$399 USD Wow this is starting to become viable, maybe for only high end gamers but I'm not expecting sub $100 prices like the myriads of sh`tty Android Tablets where people want cheaper instead of better tablets.

Oh fsck yes
(Although lately I've concocted some batsgit crazy plan to use VGA Pass through on my GTX 970 to get access to 100% of PC games. I'm gonna throw my SSD as a HDD pass through and use Steam Streaming so the VM will stream to the host via a virtual network adapter.
Red Hat Virtual Machine Manager will qemu even after the window is closed.
The results should be interesting.

Cities: Skylines - Match Day, a free DLC to add a Stadium to your city

Considering there are like 85,000 addons in the Workshop 1 stadium addon feels like it barely counts as "DLC" by definition.

But hey, I welcome it - I think the workshop addons far surpass the value of the deluxe version or addons for the most part.
