If they make a sub £100 streaming box so i can play the PC games in my lounge ill buy that for sure, mass market interest in a PC that can only be used for playing games with no first party exclusives practically zero, people will just upgrade there PC's/ |
It can not only be used for playing games. It's an open system, you can do what you want. It's just running an OS and has hardware that will be optimized for (living room) gaming.

yeah i know but to go to the effort of buying one then buying a windoes license to dual boot it and use it as a PC as well, why would anyone not just buy a PC to begin with, anf forgo the hassle of duel booting.

Steam OS is a full OS. Why would you want Windows if you can do most things on Linux anyway?

The same reason the mass market currently is not running linux PCs, the software support is lacking and the userbility is hurrendous when compared to windows.
This OS may make playing games slightly easier, but with a massivley limited linux catalogue, no exclusive games and hardware that is just as expensive as buying a normal PC as the manufactures will be in it for making profit off the hardware as im sure Valve wont be sharing there cut of the software sales.
