Everyone's doing the same 'screen interference' title effect in their trailers, it's getting really tiring.

In the future, do you expect all Steam games to run on Linux/Steam OS?

Quoting: Quote from XodetaetlUse rechargeable AA's ?
Not the same. Atm I can just dock my controller and it charges. That's a lot easier than pulling batteries out and plugging them into a charger.
A dock could charge AA batteries as well, it doesn't have to be a non-standard battery.
Instead of a dock, it could also be recharged by pluging in a USB cable (which would let you use the pad while it charges the batteries). Yesss, I hope they'll go for this, batteries + USB cable.

Use rechargeable AA's ?

A Steam Machine From iBuyPower Has Been Shown Off

it actually looks better than the PS4 and Xbox One
It depends on tastes. For me it looks cheap and as boring as the PS4 and Xbone or any other high-tech mass market product. And that light bar must be annoyingly distracting when playing in a dark room.

Lots of games on Steam don't use DRM.
I wish they advertised it on the games' profile.
