@Kyru117@C_skalt Most gamers want an off the shelf product that just works. The steam machine is a user friendly gaming PC for your living room. It’s not a console or a bargain bin custom PC. Yes, it’s expensive, but it isn’t overpriced.
@StephenMBlack82@getrootarded Cool. Great. Now show me a prebuilt that compares to the steam machine. Otherwise you’re just comparing apples to oranges.
@Kyru117@C_skalt No time bomb in that list, but it’s not comparable.
Where’s the warranty, customer support, or ITX mobo? Not to mention that list will build a far less power efficient PC.
@alinaf352517@RamblingOnDeck@reborn_444 I’ll make this easy for you.
Build me a PC that:
-is on par with the steam machine
-ITX motherboard
-turns on with a controller (and turns on my tv)
-has a warranty
-has customer support
Then sell it to me for the price of a 2TB steam machine. I WILL buy it if you can manage it
