Forums - Gaming - Steam Machines Delayed until 2015

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse#announcements/detail/1820891223906967821

We've been getting emails from the Steam community asking us how our in-development Steam Machines are coming along. It's great that you're excited about it, and we know you appreciate it when we keep you in the loop on stuff like this, so we wanted to give you all a quick update.

We’re now using wireless prototype controllers to conduct live playtests, with everyone from industry professionals to die-hard gamers to casual gamers. It's generating a ton of useful feedback, and it means we'll be able to make the controller a lot better. Of course, it's also keeping us pretty busy making all those improvements. Realistically, we're now looking at a release window of 2015, not 2014.

Obviously we're just as eager as you are to get a Steam Machine in your hands. But our number one priority is making sure that when you do, you'll be getting the best gaming experience possible. We hope you'll be patient with us while we get there. Until then, we’ll continue to post updates as we have more stories to share.

As always, we love getting feedback on the Steam Machine and Steam controller from the community. After all, you're the people we want to be happiest when we release them.

Feel free to continue posting your thoughts and suggestions to the Steam Universe discussion group.

I think these machines will flop. I don't expect to see a lot of support for it and even if there will be support it just seems like a ridiculous investment to me. This delay isn't making me any more happy about it either.

An entirely new market. The Steam Machine is going to revolutionze gaming as we know it!

an obvious joke but kitler came in the fastest (that's what she said).

anyways, i thought in the begining these could be a big influence on the market.  the more time that goes by with absolutely no press on them,.. i dunno.  i've lost all confidence in them.  whatever valves message is on why anyone would want want they have failed to deliver it in any way that makes it resonate with me.



Gimmick.
