Don't buy a Steam Machine - The Verge.
The official Steam Machines run SteamOS, which is basically Linux with Steam’s Big Picture Mode. Even though Valve is working to bring more games to Linux, most popular titles aren’t available for it yet, and there’s really no reliable way to predict which games will be supported in the future. Of the top 10 games you can buy on Steam right now, only one, the Fallout Classic Collection, works on SteamOS. There’s no Grand Theft Auto 5, or Skyrim, or DayZ. Hell, you can’t even play games that are compatible with Linux but aren’t on Steam, which includes Blizzard’s popular catalog. If you care about playing anything relatively new and popular, the Xbox One, PS4, Wii, and Windows-based PCs are all clearly superior options. And games aren’t the only compatibility problem. If Valve and HTC’s virtual reality headset is anything like the Oculus Rift, it’ll need powerful hardware, and it’s possible lower-end Steam Machines won’t support it.

Pot meet kettle.
No shit sherlock, that's what I said. It's the tail end of the generation. That's just flat out 100% incorrect. A lie to support your argument, one which I agree with, but you make stupid fucking statements that negate yourself.
'i agree with you but im nit picking because i dont like you'. This sort of limp, time wasting crap is why you're universally reviled here. Nothing he said is incorrect and you could not possibly stretch more trying to find something to argue about. 'you said no new games are coming but just dance 8 is coming next year, you LIED!!'. You know exactly what he meant. Yeah sure I'll just go buy an old ps2 on ebay to play 2 games that i could instead just double click on a windows pc, that is comparable. With a straight fucking face that shit was posted, I would laugh if it wasn't so sad. The op ed blows and his argument on why it sucks is just fine, the bottom line is that you're just petty because you don't like descender.
For Steamos itself I can't say I'm interested too much unless MS starts screwing around with compatibility, that won't happen due to the enterprise market.
