Valve just kicked the teeth of all console makers with this announcement. If only they manage to ship and distribute globally they would single-handedly threat taking over the entire gaming industry (hardware side) in a single generation. Of course, it's well to wait for reviews, hands on demonstrations and the reality that comes out of this. But I bet there's more than one MS an Sony executive who were apprehensive of seeing this day arrive.
Also: the fact they doubled down on the Steam Machine name. It's like a huge FU to all OEM manufacturers who laughed at them in 2017.
Also the controllers are hall effect by the sounds of it. Which will be a jab at Nintendo no doubt.
technically TMR, but yeah
