Valve is making a huge mistake with the Steam Machine

I can literally customize every single aspect of my living room with Linux running EVERYTHING. FUCK YOU WINDOWS. Useless OS.

Once you've sat on the couch with a controller (xbox or ps3 you choose) and download a game for $15 which is $60 on consoles and you're playing it at MUCH better graphical settings then you'll KNOW that this isn't some ruse. This is real.

Don't be afraid of change people. Playstation isn't going anywhere... The Xbox however... Might just be displaced.

you can already do that with steam. perhaps you should use it in its current statre. as it does what you state as is on windows. also your not getting linux, your getting steams version of it. who knows what they may or may not change. but the bolded and underlined is already a possibiliy, its steam big picture. Have you used it yet? they also have steam for linux, so you can make your linux box with steam and big picture. that all this is.

I know. That's what I'm doing every day (my flatmate is a massive Valve fanboy and spends a ton of his money on Steam games). Yes I have used it.

Point is, if the consolidate the service then the average gamer will see the benefit of Steam. Basically the Xbox One was supposed to be what the Steambox will be. 

You really don't think this is gonna be a game changer?
