The Steam Machine is going to be an experiment: can a console sell well without games kids or the urban demographic play?

@sendpaws In practice is "can it beat nintendo", nearly everything for kids is already on steam.

@kamehamic You can't play Madden, FIFA/EA FC, Fortnite, GTA (online), BF6, or CoD on it.

Most of those are on Steam btw, but not on Linux.

@sendpaws @kamehamic it's gonna be funny to see the "how to install windows on your steam machine" avalanche of videos

@mischievoustomato @kamehamic that's exactly 100% what happened to the first wave, the first time I saw a Steam Machine it was an Alienware at a con running Windows.

@sendpaws @mischievoustomato @kamehamic the first Alienware alpha didn't even have the steam OS on it, was just straight up windows. I still have mine, it's awesome.

@beardalaxy @mischievoustomato @kamehamic Yeah the one with the Steam logo was the Steam OS SKU, and someone I saw just installed Windows on it.

Did you know that Valve also abandoned the original Steam machines too?
