Valve Steam Machines are coming this October

article published on 6 June, 2015

Valve has announced that consumers who pre-order a Steam Machine will receive their hardware on October 16th. What is a Steam Machine?

These seem like such a waste. Anyone who's a 'pure gamer' already knows how to play PC games on a TV, with a controller....and its incredibly simple and easy to do.
This is basically a Steam-branded Windows box (unless Linux/SteamOS really takes off out of its niche, which I seriously doubt). I just don't get the hype behind these when they seem to just be more of the same pre-built Windows gaming rigs.
All I'd want from this is the controller, which hopefully will be sold seperately.

The touchpad technology was given a good shot back in the early 1990s in the form of a Turbo Touch 360 I tried one for a few minutes but went right back to the tactile D-Pad controller. It was a good quality controller, but I could never tell where my thumb was positioned on the pad most of the time. I don't see anything in Steam's controller that appears to have solved that simple problem.

When laws allow unlimited ownership of ideas, it is to a society as iron fusion is to the core of a star.

When verified realities lead us to anger, we must learn to reevaluate our beliefs.
