Valve has still not confirmed pricing or availability for the Steam Machine. In the meantime, the developer of EmuDeck is selling an alternative called Playnix, which should outperform the Steam Machine thanks to an AMD Radeon RX 9600 XT 16 GB GPU.
And the HUGE software push they’re making. Plus, Valve probably welcomes anybody joining in on the form factor. This isn’t console wars, Valve isn’t Microslop or Nintendo.
Isn’t the point of the steam machine the drivers, developer optimisation, and plug and play aspect, this is just another computer.
It’s like the Steam Deck vs Windows handhelds debate. Don’t care if it’s faster if it isn’t as convenient as Valve’s product.
