Thoughts on the Steam Machine

The Steam Machine was announced recently. From a PC gaming perspective it seems like a low end machine. From a console gaming perspective it seems like a current generation (PS5) competitor. So who would buy such a thing? Me probably.

I consider myself a PC gamer. 99% of the games I play are through Steam. I mostly play games that don't have high requirements. The last time I updated my computer was in 2019. I no longer have the energy or patience to build a PC. Justifying an expensive PC purchase to play my 400+ game catalog of games that don't need the most powerful hardware around is not something that is going to happen.

So bring on the low end, small, dedicated Steam Machine. I'm ready.
