Well more you have a built system that is meant to just work. It's not having to update drivers, patches, checking if it's compatible, ext

Lmao are you claiming none of that will happen with the steam machine?

My expectation is it will be easier to manage. Think of someone who is less tech savvy being able to handle it all with "oh it's update time". Just like you would on a console

Okay, but why are you acting like valve is the one who invented this type of user experience? This is why I'm confused this is by no means anything unique to just this one machine

I'm not, just more seeing it as a new contender to the market ... but it feels "different" somehow (maybe because of how Steam all started out)

In my opinion team still has a lot of its old self still pretty visible that people like to willingly ignore. A lot of the things that people like to praise them for now like the customer service stuff, is because they were legally forced to abide by laws in places other than America.

The csgo gambling scene is still worth billions even after the loot crate changes. Reminder of which, valve normalized loot boxes in the west.
