The Steam Machine and Steam Controller hate makes me sad. I got the Syber steam machine from the one-day black friday sale and I love it. It's just really nice to have a home console synced across with my PC. About a third of my games work and I'm very happy with it. The rest I can stream. I'm about to finish Talos Principle, and to me it has fulfilled the promise.
As for the controller, it's also been going great. Talos Principle is a first person game and it feels completely natural to play a 1st person game for me. The key was when they came up with the Mouse Like Joystick profile for the trackpad, which reports itself as a gamepad, but behaves like a mouse. Then it feels like a gamepad with boosted precision rather than a trackpad or a hobbled mouse. Once they did that it really felt like a great way to extend a PC into the living room. I've been playing Cities Skyline with it. Cities Skyline! I've become a fan.
