Poll Steam Machines? (128 votes)
I was wondering what everyone thinks about these Steam Machines? Personally from day one I have considered these things to be nothing but glorified PC's. And honestly, my opinion hasn't changed. In fact, after looking at the wide variety of machines listed in the Steam Store I see no reason, personally, why I would pick this over building my own PC.
Yes, when they first announced it I got excited, but when they started detailing what Steam Machines were, exactly, I quickly lost interest.
I mean, who are these things for, really? A PC enthusiast, I imagine, would rather just build his/her own machine. And I really don't see a mainstream console gamer who doesn't know much about computers buying one of these either because they're likely to be intimidated by all the choices, not knowing which one is best for them.
Maybe I'm seeing this wrong and this will, in fact, revolutionize PC gaming, but me, personally, I have zero interest in them.
What's your take on Valve's Steam Machine initiative? Are you going to buy one?
