ffs. it was a joke based on some of the questionable names there. 

My main point is steam OS/Box isnt required and will not be a success.

Questionable names?  Alienware & Gigabyte are tops.

Required huh, is Xbone a required product, how about Wii U, is it required.  Truth is no gaming device is required, it's a luxary product for entertainment, & don't tell me "Required to play exclusives." because exclusives themselves aren't required either.

Me myself, I'm not buying a closed console ever again, If I don't buy a Steam Machine I'll build my own, although buying a prebuilt one would save me having to research hardware compatability.  For me the current Linux library already looks pretty good & it's only going to get more fleshed out next year with more AAA games launching in support of Steam OS.  I wouldn't say it's a forgone conclusion that it will fail just because you don't want one.
