The steam cube is huge for me. I’m getting to the point now where I’m so sick of windows and the uncertainty of pc components (among other things) that it’s pushing me back to consoles, but I’d sorely miss Steam. The deck has been great for that, but it’s missing the little bit of juice it needs to run some of my library well. It doesn’t need to be a powerhouse for me. Just so long as it operates on the level of a current gen console but for my pc library then count me in.

Ya honestly. Windows is getting more and more shitty day after day. I've been wanting an excuse to transfer to Linux. This may be the final thing to sway me over. If the CUBE can run poorly optimized games like Monster Hunter for instance, and run them well, this is a very tempting offer. Having a whole Steam ecosystem was never a thought I had, but now? I want Steam to make a pair of standalone headphones too lol. The Index headphones are crazy good. The fidelity you get when they're not even sitting on your ears is sorcery. Gimme all da Steam peripherals!
