'Let's suppose that I have a Windows PC and a lot of games on my Steam library. Why would I replace it with Steam OS and lose compatibility with all my old titles and most of the new ones?"

Let's put it another way, back in 2007, Steve baller stated who was going to replace a windows smartphone with a subsidised $500.00 smartphone with no keyboard!

Right now valve is developing for the steamOS,  dropping windows completely right now is out of the Question, but as time goes along who knows.




The newers smartphone is better than the older one. There isn't a subside that will avoid the fact that there aren't games for it. If you want a subsided machine that's cheap, buy a console: it runs way more games than Steam OS.
