Just like the Steam Deck was sold to appeal to the handheld market, but the reason it had any success is because its a competent PC. Hopefully the steam machine actually takes off this time because the more gaming focused linux PCs there are the better linux itself will be supported.
And much like the Steam Deck, allows more freedom than just playing games. It enables use of the computer itself unlike consoles of the past. You buy an Xbox or a PS, and youre restricted on its use.
define “console.” I daresay that the phrase “console” exists largely to mislead consumers into the expectation that they can’t sideload apps and games onto their own device. Near as I can see, that’s the only real difference. But I can sideload onto my hacked 3DS and switch, are they not consoles anymore? I can run android and linux on the switch too.
It says ...and it's a PC as a header. What do you think is the part that is implied before the ellipsis? This is clearly to complement the reader’s view of this being a gaming device (i.e. a console).
Its a pc not a console you idiots.
You’re correct, its sold to appeal to console gamers though

There is no need to define anything it literally says “…and it’s a PC” on steams promotional page.

emphasis on “and.” It’s a console and a PC.
Could you have made it any more obvious you didnt read it? They dont mention console at all because its not.
It says
...and it's a PCas a header. What do you think is the part that is implied before the ellipsis? This is clearly to complement the reader’s view of this being a gaming device (i.e. a console).It’s ok to admit you are wrong, I know you won’t but I need you to know that it’s ok. Thats how we learn.
I have a good history of admitting I’m wrong online. I do so freely and frequently. In this case I don’t believe I am wrong, so I will not.
GabeCube is a console and a PC.
You do realize this is just semantics right.
SHHHH. The console plebs won’t know. This is the type of product we need to open their eyes to the wonders of PC gaming.
