I'm sure it does, considering even my old busted laptop has hit the Steam hardware survey before, but it's not one of my primary gaming PCs.
Another way of saying this is Steam Machine is slower than about 44 million gaming PCs (30% x 147 MAU, a very conservative number since that's monthly and number of users instead of number of computers).
The fact that its GPU is slower than the 5 year old PS5's, and it only has 8GB VRAM, makes me question Steam Machine's longevity. And it apparently can't do FSR4 cause it's RDNA3.
It needs to be cheap.
It has to be $400 or $500. If they, Valve, really think they're sitting on a $800 or even a $1,000 machine then they're lying to themselves.
It'll be a mistake if they just put the tag of 500 dollars on the steam store.
It'll be much much better if they put a fake price like, 1500 dollars but it's discounted to 500.
People are dumb enough to fall for that, lol
