i hope it is a small cheap device.
a friend of mine always wants to play indies and other games online via steam. but it's just... i hate windows gaming. it's not that i am casual and don't know how to handle a pc. i simply hate caring for drivers, caring if/how good/ a game runs and all this shit you went through with pcs. i work on a PC all day. even worse: i am programming, so all i do the whole day is caring about shit that doesn't work. when i am at home, i just want to play the fucking games.
i'd buy a steambox if it enables multiplayer with windows steam users and doesn't cost more than 300€ - focused on smaller games. steam sales. easy communication. hardware optimized games with a certificate like "runs on steambox 1". pretty small device. this are my hopes for a steambox.
must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:
WiiU: Donkey Kong
XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse
