Certainly not for most people hence why it flopped. Steam link: The reason why the hardware got discontinued is because Valve released a software version instead for iOS, MacOS, Linux, Android, tvOS, Android TV and Samsung TV. So instead of forcing you pay for the hardware, it became literally free that can be used on a ton of TVs and devices. Steam machines: Probably the biggest blunder Valve has done but because the computers are running Steam OS, you install Windows and they will function as normal PCs. This isn't a console situation where if there are no support for it, you don't have options. Vive: One of the best entries into the VR space and Valve has made a successor known as Index. I don't know why anyone even thinks this is a failure. Imo you could argue that Valve has had two failures (Steam Controller and Steam Machines) and two successes (Steam Link and Valve Vive/Index). But I think the reaction overall from a lot of PC gamers have been positive for the Deck so I doubt it will be the same as their Steam Machines/Controllers. |
I'm amazed at all those upvotes he has, despite his stupid meme.
I do think the Deck will be something of a success, but I already get that feeling that it's going to be a bit irksome to discuss it here, because it's already mocked as a "switch killer" or "doomed to fail like Ouya". It's going to be treated on here much like ppl in general treated the Game Gear (there's already game gear Deck memes already, so the cycle continues I guess), which kinda sucks, because I owned two game gears and it's TV component and thought that system was pretty rad for it's time (still have one left with a few games).
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
