Like bro… we don’t care. I’m here for one thing and one thing only: the Steam Machine. These “I beat Valve to it” videos are so cringe. First off, your TV PC isn’t going to be as optimized as the Steam Machine. It won’t feel as buttery smooth, it won’t have the same level of community support, and it definitely won’t have that small, sleek form factor that makes the Steam Machine so attractive.

Who cares if you made it 8x more powerful? The PC community’s obsession with “power” is exactly why you keep seeing the same mainstream YouTubers benchmark and play-test the same games over and over again… It all started with your favorite impatience YouTuber: ETA Prime to start the train and then the flood gates opened up. Like you guys weren't even interested in TV PCs before the Steam Machine was announced and now some regular customers out there (myself included) will possibly lose a chance to get one because your favorite YouTuber HAS to at LEAST order two of them and get a review unit from Valve.

By the way, yes this is me complaining. And yes, once the SM is out, these YouTubers will not touch these DIY projects again. So yay to wasting parts and money I guess.

Who cares what LTT has to say about Valve hardware...like seriously, who cares? These are former social rejects who got money. Now they’re just social rejects with money. Their opinion is not your opinion. Be a man and form your own opinion. You do not have to sit there and watch some dork’s take on gaming in general.

This is exactly why I stopped watching tech and game reviews, because it subconsciously starts skewing my own opinion on a product I’m genuinely excited for. I’m still excited for the Steam Machine. I’ve literally avoided any video that tries to judge it, especially from news channels expect channels like Spawn Wave.

And the power of the device? Who cares.

I’m plugging this bad boy into my TV and playing games like Cyberpunk 2077, Mega Man Star Force Legacy, DOOM, and so much more. The Steam Deck makes me happy, but a Steam Deck on the TV would make me even happier. That’s why I’m buying the machine.

I have a GeForce RTX 2080 Super and I’m perfectly happy with it, and my main game is Cyberpunk, which looks great on it, mind you. It just makes my PC loud. Like a jet engine honestly.

I don’t want to rant for too long, but please…

I know you guys are nerds, but tech reviewers and game reviewers are literally DORKS. These are not the people you should aspire to be.

If you’re a gamer, then be excited for gaming hardware. Point Blank Period. Also, go touch grass and send hate mail to Valve so I can pre-order this thing already.
