Are the Steam Machine woth it?

[woozy]

I like them, they looksì cool but is it really worth it?
I personally prefer computers but who knows maybe if I try once I'll change my mind

I don't know. Steam machines are clever in concept, but they're really in a tight niche. Most people who have a lot of Steam titles and experience are going to stick with their much more powerful PC setups, and wouldn't want to "stoop" to use a console- while console gamers are going to expect something with either more horsepower and features, or be more "casual friendly" if that makes any sense. I may be entirely wrong, but it seems like the people that the Steam Machines are trying to get are likely already happy with their XB1's, PS4's, or even their Wii-U's, and it doesn't seem like the kind of thing they'd be drawn to.

I dont think that the steam machine is worth it... If I were you, I would buy the STEAM Link for about 50€ I guess. So you can stream from your PC to the TV in your living room.

I think the steam machine is a waste of cash. It's an overpriced shitty computer that only has access to steam games anyways.

You can build a much better Computer with the same money they cost.

Personally I think they are over priced and you can build something better for cheaper, but for me I'm going to get the Steam link because it looks like a nice thin-client.

They're totally overpriced, just a famous product so people buy it.

You are better off buying a SteamLink and using your PC to power it. In the end it's pretty much the same result except you can also play all the games that only run on Windows and since it's powered by your PC unlimited upgrades going forward without needing to buy a new SteamMachine to get more power.

Its more of a Console Gamer -> "PC" Gamer alternative; although its kinda a "Console". Idk much about it, but i wouldnt buy it.

Well I haven't got it but from the reviews & opinions i heard is that it's overpriced and doesn't compete with the xbox/ps4. Honestly had high expectations for this since but turns out it was a huge let down.

If you would build a pc for the price of an Steam Machine you would get something better

Definitely a waste. Won't even recommend it

I could see it having value if Valve released exclusive games for it. But the last game Valve made was Portal 2, with CS:GO and L4D2 being 3rd party acquisitions and DOTA2 being a commandeering of what used to be a free source community project. Doesn't seem like they're interested in making games anymore.

PC master race ofc.
