Steam Machine verification will have "fewer constraints" than Steam Deck - but text sizing worries me
It seems it will be easier to be Steam Machine Verified when compared with Steam Deck Verified, according to a Valve designer speaking with Game Developer.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

I find the amount of people saying: "this device is pointless" in comments on different sites, staggering.
I think that the steam family library makes it an excellent Playstation or Nintendo replacement.

in reply to Rasmus Lindegaard • • •the vast majority of gamers do not play on a £2K machine and care about 4K, this is not even remotely the audience Valve are targeting. All those comments are silly.
It's a powerful mini-PC with good support, something many of us have wanted for ages!
But...price will be an issue they have to get right.

I somehow doubt that they will eat up any of these costs on their own.
Funnily enough it might be apples time to shine since they have been price-gouging RAM and storage for ages...

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮 • • •How y'all feel about a 3 tier system for Steam Machine verification? Something like:
Valve Verified: tested internally by a Valve employee
Developer Verified: where the developers of a game certify that it works or not
Community Verified: an aggregation where the community says where it works out of the box, needs twekas, or not at all
Good idea or nah?
