Thoughts after a few hours of playing with Steam Machine.
- 3D performance is just…meh.
- The system recommends to default to 1080p - am I going back to PS4 days?
- Some games take a looooooong time to boot, what is it doing?
- System UI is easy to use.
- Being able to boot up by pressing a button on Steam Controller is a killer feature.
- Changeable face plate is nice.
- Random boot up videos is a nice touch :)
- Sticks on Steam Controller is a bit looser than my taste.
- Having touch pad is nice, but it is very “touchy” and hard to use.
- It allows me to play Steam games on my living room TV, which is a reason enough to keep it.
- But the price was very unfriendly. Hard to recommend to people unless for research.
2/2
We will not be able to freely access the movies, books, and music that we have loved. I would be a have-not. That's what I'm afraid of. This is not greed.

Eventually, even digital data will no longer be owned by individuals on their own initiative. Whenever there is a major change or accident in the world, in a country, in a government, in an idea, in a trend, access to it may suddenly be cut off.

PlayStation is ending production of physical game discs for all new games from January 2028 😮
To be fair almost 90% of game sales are already digital
But this is officially game over for the second hand games market (oh and games ownership)
@Oreofirelight@AHeroFalls@NotMoxxi Completely agree. We definitely don't want the player base split again. Don't miss those days where you had to manually untill dlcs to play.
Sorry I agreed with the other guy. I appreciate the apology. 🤝

@AntVenom I'm not part of either any more, but I feel like the ESA is being incredibly scummy by pulling this. I've never liked them, but even less so now.
I did not wish for my work to be used against people. This is borderline evil.
@Oreofirelight@AHeroFalls@NotMoxxi Well yeah, curious on what will actually change on these ports other than new servers. Most likely nothing but hoping it will be bundled with DLC or something at least.
Or bundles together for a decent price, asking a lot I know.
@Oreofirelight@AHeroFalls@NotMoxxi I'm not blocking. Feel free to express yourself. People everywhere on twitter will heavily agree/heavily disagree with you. That's why this app is so entertaining.
@AHeroFalls@Oreofirelight@NotMoxxi Agreed. Thank you for being an understanding person and not the typical person that gets frustrated when someone corrects them 😅
It's been amazing to see the community rally around Kowakujō and its Main Quest over the past few days. The team is incredibly proud of this map, and proud of the members of this community who participate in every hunt with passion and integrity.
After a race that lasted nearly 60 hours, we were beyond disappointed to see a significant portion of the quest spoiled by bad actors and the people who amplified them.
There are still more secrets to discover, and we'll do everything possible to protect the experience for next season's finale. Try to stay spoiler-free out there. ♥️
