Source 2 is overall pretty good. It's definitely one of the most performant engines, in the right hands. I'm not fussed about bleeding edge graphics though, I'd much rather have more framerate instead of a few more lights.

If games were actually optimised for this kind of hardware, there would be no problem. We dont actually need all these hardware upgrades every year. Games still run like shit, at some point we have to demand better from our games, rather than constantly upgrading our setups for nothing.

Fuck kernel AC and fuck companies trying to control what settings we use on our PCs to play games.

You are right, the indie space is booming. I meant big gaming, the mainstream triple A crap. But some kind of shitty practices being accepted by people in AAA games, does bleed down to some smaller studios indulging.

Gaming is so fucked.

Nobody in the right mind is buying AAA games at launch. They always go on sale a few months later. But it's GTA... so... its going to sell like hot cakes.

Business as usual then for Deutsche Bahn.

Enough that it will sell out over and over.

The Steam Deck already showed that people dont care so much about raw performance. Everyone did the exact same thing as now, calling it underpowered. Granted it was a handheld, so it sold on that merit. Just like the Steam Machine will sell on it's own merits.

It's a perfectly powerful machine, the price is unfortunate given the market state. There's not much reason we need that much more power, except that today's big games are made like absolute shit and barely perform, but hey, we can just not play those shitty games.

If you cannot justify, you dont have to buy it. Everyone else can make their own decision.

Like I said, show me one in the same form factor.

Anyway, you can just say it's not for you. You dont have to be offended that it's appealing to others and not tailored to what you want.

Well yeah, all these types of vehicles should be banned.

That's DDR4 and not a tiny form factor like the Steam Machine (or low TDP).

You are clueless about the market if this is what you consider a comparable build. There's a lot more to it than pure gaming fps numbers.
