Quoting: iniudan

Quoting: TheRiddickSteamOS is still not ready for mainstream consumption. Missing drivers, bad driver optimizations, library file issues, AMD is still largely missing for sysreq on software. And then there is the MAJOR AAA titles still not wanting to port to Linux (where is my Skyrim and Fallout4?).

Maybe some of those issues will be sorted out in the next 12 months I dunno. But Valve KNOWS what must be done to make it successful.

Indeed lot of issue, should be solved when game developer use of current gen of graphic API become generalized. Currently the only Vulkan based game I know are Ashes of the Singularity (it supposed to get ported to Linux) and DOTA2 (which is currently in a beta release for the Vulkan port).

the is the talos principle too

i can't believe how blind optimistic people are...


"SteamOS is still a "beta" it's not a released product "
the SteamOS is not an relased product but its embed at an relased product, i'm the only one who see an issue in sell an piece of hardware in which the OS embed to it is not ready for relase even 7 months after they start selling the hardware?
any consumer would go nuts with something like that.


(the steam machines are basically the same thing and to sell 500,000 is great imo!).
500,000 is the number of CONTROLLERS sold not the number of machines, read the news before comment on it.

"It took them years to get to where Steam is now"
yes, the issue is, people purchased pcs because they need/want browse the web, write documents, listen to music watch videos and play was an plus, and they could do those things regardless of the sucess or not of steam.
on consols on the other hand, people buy then to play and they are useless if they cant meet this, no one will buy an machine and wait years before it become usefull for anything, especially if they can just install windows on it to play more things with better performance as a lot of those people are doing.

"It will probably take them even longer to push SteamOS and Steam Machines through to where they can actually compete with the PS4 and Xbox One"
except that we would be at PS5 or PS6 by then...

"as was said they (MS/Sony) have 3>4 generations of system to have gained a market"
PS1 sold 100M units at the end of its generation, it won the consol market at its first gen, the first xbox sold 24M at the end of its gen, and at 7 months after relase im pretty sure it had sold more than 500K units. (that being optmistic assuming all 500K controlers are bundled with Steam Machines)

"Has everyone got the VR headsets yet?"
we dont know if VR will be a thing at all.

" is everyone playing games at 4k on their Xboxs or PS4s? "
XboxOne and PS4 cant do 4K that is why they will relase PS4 Neo and another XboxOne, every gamer know they will relase this, except if they are living in a cave on the last 2 months because the media cant shut up and talk about something else.

and Steam machines that arent tied to this generation count didnt drop the price yet, PS4 and XboxOne did.

In any case, contrary to popular belief, a dark background with clear leters is better to read (also its better if you're on a big screen like me, its almost the only option)

the problem is when you change from an page to another most of webpages are withe so this kind of hurt your eyes.

browsers need an soft transition =P

BTW: for those who want a darker background here, try stilish, the only issue is the twitter plugin.

last but not least, im a webdesigner but i'm too busy, so i don't know if i will try (especially because i don't know an internation credit card and do need money)
