They'll get bored with it and forget about it. Valve isn't interested in doing anything beyond charging people 30% to sell their stuff.

SteamOS was about as good when Steam Machines were announced as Steam itself was in 2003. Hell, it still doesn't sound great today.

No they just lame, having better luck doing it through the website. At least it let me add to cart, checking out however...

When I posted that they had messaging up saying orders available Q1 2022 or something like that.
Now they've changed that again to just the servers are busy.
Edit: I saw this before I got my order in and it changed the first one. Make sure you don't remove it from your cart, got mine in after they changed the page to this.

I think this will be a big win for steam. The sheer insane number of games I have there make this worthwhile as just a party system you can move easily. Mobile games tend to be such cancer, so having more mobile access to my steam games is a potential mega win in my mind. I'm willing to gamble 650$ on it. Servers were noticeably slammed, but I managed to get my order through on the website by waiting a few mins each step pretty easy.

That's just it. I own like 500 Steam games. If this thing will play most of them it is much better than a switch for me. I do have a Surface Pro 5 i7 that I game on sometimes, and a laptop, but those suck for lugging around and opening up to play. If I can just toss this in a bag and bust out PC games once in a while on trips or whatever, that would be a lot more beneficial. Especially if I can get like WoW, FFXIV, R6 Siege, and Diablo 3/4 working on it.
I did end up finally getting the 256gb model reserved which is the one I wanted. I got the 512 reserved on my kids account at 12:05, and the 256gb at 2:13 so we will have to see which one becomes available first.

You assume they will be able to supply a ton of them pretty quickly. Pretty big assumption in todays age of microchips.

I'm sure the supply chain and scalpers will fuck this thing in the ass. But, it could be a win.

Just reserved mine. At 10:05am or so it was telling me my steam account was too new and that I would have wait until the 18th (IIRC). Seemed a bit odd since my steam account was created via steam on HL2 CDs. Just randomly tried and it let me reserve, albeit with a Q2 2022 date. Worse thing that happens is that Valves keeps my $5 if something with better specs comes out next year, which is no different than the hundreds Vavle got from me from Steam sales for games I will likely never play I suppose.

It's just running Linux. I've played WoW on Linux as recently as last year/BFA. Worked fine.
Obviously no one knows for sure, but it will likely be possible to install your own distro and/or full Windows.

I dont know it's just me aging or what, but playing anything other than some sort of simple game on a handheld just doesn't feel right anymore.
With our switch, we can hook it up to the TV and game for hours, but put it in handheld mode and I just can't enjoy any title on it.
I enjoyed the hell out of the Gameboys , game gears, Sega nomad etc.
Maybe I am just so used to gaming on a 75 inch TV now that anything less just seems subpar. Back in the day a 75inch would be out of a majority of the populations reach, but now you can get pick them up on the clearance racks for a week's worth of unemployment lol.
System sounds amazing though.
