      There’s a type of person who associates being number one with being the only thing that has value. When something with less power by their metrics does well by different metrics it’s an assault on their worldview. It’s the same reason truck drivers get angry at hybrid drivers.

        The steam machine is not at all the last thing they released. The steam deck, the valve index, and the HTC Vive were all considerably successful hardware releases since the failure of the original steam machine.

        the last time they released something

        Maybe you just didn’t know that the last time they released something was the Deck?

        You should check it out, it’s pretty cool!
