So you don’t want to game on it and its just to distribute your Windows updates on your local network? Didn’t even know this was possible (if it is), sorry if I misunderstand that. Why is a Steam Machine the best option for this?
Probably because of the goodwilled the company has from their track record with product releases and extending support for Hardware they put out in the ecosystem.
Folks are big mad at valve for ending first party components distribution on the discontinued Steam Deck LED, but I don’t fault them for that in the slightest, and Trust valve to have a product that I would engage with as much as a Framework or an Apple One.
It’s just a bummer, they couldn’t hazard even subsidizing the steam machine because they had to worry about folks using them for office computers and never actually participating in the Steam store ecosystem.
Tl;Dr: The person you’re responding to is exactly the reason the Steam Machine had to be sold with margins. And he, and Valve, and everyone else are just doing the best we all can.
