Comment on Steam Machine
Rooster326@programming.dev 3 days agoIs it less resources though? At that level to buy consumer grade?
I mean you can literally build your own steam machine with that. You can install the os into any PC. That’s the ultimate goal I imagine.

I mean, they could’ve used all that engineering budget that was used in the design of the device for something like, enhancing proton

Trust me I know. I am en engineer XD I just don’t remember most of what I learned in university, just the necessary stuff for work

Exactly, if you’re a hardware designer, no amount of money will turn you into a software developer within a month. A dollar of software development is not equal to a dollar of product design. That’s the mindset of shareholders. “Give me $12.99 engineering, and give it now”

Trust me they are improving proton all on their own. Proton let’s them sell games. That is how they make money
