IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT IT LMFAO

If the hardware has the compatibility for it, then yes It probably is what they have in mind, but they could also go the route with some custom system. Unlikely but not impossible.

The issue if they go custom, is how much ground they’ll need to cover to reach SteamOS levels of plug 'n play

If it can outperform the steam machine, nice The question is, is it gonna be a console-like experience? Just plug and play?

Having the most powerful hardware won’t matter at all if we can’t figure out a way to make people who aren’t tech savy be able to just sit down and play on it, without needing to know what Proton is.

The appear (AFAIK) of the Steam Machine, is this, you plug it in, grab the controller and go play, even if it doesn’t have the most top-of-the-line hardware, being hassle free is a huge win over any other. Specially given how now, the Xbox, the PlayStation and the Switch 2 are direct competition. And they’re simple for a end-user who isn’t tech savy (well… Subjective, I find the Xbox UI to be a convoluted mess)

I blame my entire music taste on NFSU2 soundtrack, it is just that good

Even without being a car person, nfsu2 is a really fun casual game, it isn’t overly difficult, the AI is competent enough to be fun but not be unfair, customization let’s you just play with every part of it visually, while performance stuff keeps quite simple (stage 1, 2 or 3, and then you go to Dyno for more if you want to dive there). Also the game is in depth enough to have quite a lot to do in it
