OG steam machines were the shit, but way ahead of their time. If it had come out with proton already, then it would have dominated. But it’s wonderful that the UX had laid ground work for the steam deck
The game Portal genuinely lived up to the slogan “now you’re thinking with portals.” Soon after I started playing I’d be walking around in real life and thinking “if I put portals there and there, I could get from here to that building rooftop there and on to over there…”
Basically every Valve product and software.

It’d be interesting to see if you could install the Steamdeck’s OS on a Steam Machine.
Valve has not yet put in the effort to create a generic version of SteamOS because their focus is on the Steam Deck right now, but the community has.
Bazzite has been made to look and feel almost exactly like the Steam Deck and can be installed on any PC (AMD GPU recommended). Give it a shot!
have you not seen tf2’s state?
In Vavles defense, they proclaimed TF2 to be a “Hat Simulator” and I suppose they delivered on the advertised product…
It’s also 17 years old and still online

I still regularly replay those games.
The only Valve hardware I’m aware of and haven’t bought is the official dock for my Deck. I’ve yet to regret any of those purchases.
