Steam Machine Misgivings

from Gametalk Hosted by Gametalk

Episode 262 The Steam Machine is imminent - it was reviewed by several creators and priced at an eye-watering $1049 for the most basic SKU. Today, we give our thoughts on the Steam Machine in the context of its price and the current hardware landscape. Is the pricing an anomaly or a foreboding sign of things to come? As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Halo 3, Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon, Mario Tennis Fever). This episode was recorded in June 2026. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase.
