Steam Machine Price Announced - Starting at $1049 / £879

This argument is silly and retarded, but PC fans like to use it a lot
SP games does not require subscription and neither are f2p games, including most popular online games like Fortnite, COD Warzone and gachas. Only specific subset of games (b2p online) require it.
No wonder that paid subsciptions constitute only 30% of active playerbase, of which around 40% are on higher tiers, meaning number of people who bought subscription presumably for online play and cloud saves are less than 20%.
So the point that 1000$ should be added to price of console is PCMR twisting the facts and trying bullshitting their way with high prices for PC hardware.
have a heart its all they have left now, after paying double the price for sub base ps5 performance.
 
Tales from your ass
You can't prove it, it's just your fantasies
More or less provable only ~20% on basic subscription, all others are just you "it's more convinient to lump them all together for me"


I play online everyday and I don't need PS+ for that. Those "shitty western games" (c) - you can have them yourself
My subscription is for streaming to portal

You pay to play for online.
 
Just by the french Stim machine instead.

How powerful is this thing? Like what is the equivalent GPU/CPU?
Gpu wise below base ps5, cpu wise bit above but still at most can be called entry lvl gaming mashine, 12gigs 3060 and r5 5600x and 32gigs of 3200mhz ddr4 aka midrange gaming mashine from early 2021 demolish this thing in every scenario, rt and ai upscaling included.
 
DF said the processor is similar to a 5600x IIRC and the GPU is between RX 6600 and 7600.
Its nowhere near close to r5 5600x, and lets not forget gabecube has single channel 16gigs of ram only and cpu is limited to 30W, which reduces its cpu performance even more:
Here proof, timestampled gaming cpu benchmarks:


And here DF vid testing cpu perf in game, timestamped too, sitting at about 65 to 75% of 5600x:
