The metric that I didn’t say deck, and that you never even heard of the steam machine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Machine_(computer)
The steam machine is not at all the last thing they released. The steam deck, the valve index, and the HTC Vive were all considerably successful hardware releases since the failure of the original steam machine.
In regard to the article being a desktop console. My apologies for thinking that was obvious.
Maybe you just didn't know that the last time they released something was the Deck?
You should check it out, it's pretty cool!
Article is about a desktop console. I was referring to the desktop consoles. My apologies for thinking that was obvious.
Lmao I love a good pivot.
Cheers.
I updated the original comment, it’s not a pivot, it’s being more verbose for those like yourself who are less inclined to understanding, and more eager to grab the dopamine from being mean.
A do-over because you fumbled the ball and want to save face. Yeah, we get it.
I did fumble the ball when I was not specific enough for the target audience.
Hope it helps to tell yourself that :)
It does. I feel like we have solved the communication problem and now we are both on the same side of the conversation.
Would you like to continue talking about how the steam machine did poorly on its initial release? And how it may be premature to declare this a winner in the desktop console market?
Or would returning to the conversation not give you the dopamine that you desire to get through the day?
