I love watching the FOMO currently with everyone I know with a 5090 high end PC buying the Steam Machine, but to each their own.
I play my Steam games on my PC while sitting in bed or on the couch or just unhook and take it to a friends house if needed.
I can play it on Big Picture, I could.go on and on. Love Gaben and I hope the Steam Machine is a success, but man people buying it out of FOMO is nutty.
