Are you planning to upgrade to two sticks?

To find matching sticks we should organize an exchange, for everyone getting two new sticks, they have one (probably) matching stick for someone who keeps the original one.

Kind of lost excitement after the price tag. If Xbox and Sony raised their prices first I feel like maybe the public would of received the steam machines price better. Its still too much for me regardless, I don't need one just wanted one as a fan boy.

Also its the steam frame that is the more important one in my mind.

Look up gamehub (don't use it though it's made by game sir I think) they are already using fex and you can play games like red dead 2 at 60fps 720p on a pocco phone.

Like a year or two down the line the verification system will be super matured and you will just be able to play the games on your phone. Fex could potentially even help inspire someone to make a arch based operating system for phones so we have something other than Ubuntu touch and postmarket os. And it would be able to run pretty much any application. A lot of native Linux apps are already ported to arm like blender, being able to run exes and video games helps a lot.
