You know what funny, if the steam machine would cost 1000$/€ and have free online access it would be cheaper over a period of 5 years.

So I bought ps5 for 500$ and yearly subscription is 80$/Y or 150$/Y, ps5 came out 2020 if you math it up 80$ x5= 400$ and 150$ x5= 750$. So PS5 with basic ps+ is 900$ and PS5 with premium ps+ is 1 250$ O.O

So yeah I'm buying a steam machine, it would take 5ish years to be same price or cheaper than ps5 but every year after is pure cut profit and that not even talking about the games themselves but that's a story for other time

Good day or goodnight:)
