Valve may be working on a new kind of Steam Machine
6 Dec 2024 at 10:40 am UTC Likes: 3

November next year is awfully far away. I don't think Valve will care that much about an anniversary, Win10 going out of support is an interesting time frame and obviously the shopping craze before Christmas is something to take into account as well. So my money is on a summer reveal and a September launch.

I will like a Steam Machine. My issue with the SD is whenever I want to switch from handheld to TV I need to close the game and then basically reconfigure a bunch of display settings. An SM permanently hooked up will solve that very nicely and elegantly for me.

I still have a bunch of these. Not the Sorcery series, sadly, I'd read them but they were not mine. That was before I'd learned that you never returned a borrowed book. I lost so many over the years /o\

Well, you might not notice or care about the stuff I found so annoying.

OTOH, I lost interest in the Walking Dead show very quickly, but enjoyed every last bit of the game series.

Now that is lovely. I played almost all of them and enjoyed most, with the notable exception of the Expanse. It has its high points, but the main story and especially the main antagonist are just completely nonsensical. Still, it spins an enjoyable yarn if you don't pay too much attention.

Oh, that is nice. I was trying and failing to play it.

Flat textures and cel shading and barely able to hold 30 fps? Lovely.

Ooh, that is a huge development. I hope it works well in practice and other stores (hello, Epic) don't roll out their legal guns against it.

Frankly, whatever. Putting the game on Steam has nothing to do with Epic being or not being its publisher, they can publish it to Steam, too. The date the publishing contract expires doesn't have to be tied to Epic's exclusivity deal. The other dude said Epic wouldn't last long, which is clearly bollocks, as they have all the money in the world right now. Of course nothing is forever, it's hyperbole.
