    It’s the form factor that’s different here. Steam Machine is for the living room like a console, most people build a PC station and use it with a desk. Steam Machine is getting into the market of couch gaming and that’s what they aim for with the form factor and the ease of use. There is market here, but the price is the one thing that failed.

      Exactly the steam mahcine isn’t aiming for PC gamers, it is aiming for console players.

          Steam isn’t the only one affected by the RAM shortage.
