That lawsuit against Steam’s 30% cut of game sales is now a class action, meaning many other developers could benefit (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

I think another problem with the Steam Machine was that it was still trying to be like a PC ecosystem, so there wasn't a universal Steam Machine. It was just a PC running a specific OS, and everyone who was making Steam Machines had wildly different builds. It didn't make it any easier for a non-tech consumer to get, and there was nothing to get excited about as a tech-minded person other than the software.

The Deck is a perfect entry level PC, and, aside from the added bonus of portability, should have been what a Steam Machine actually was.
