Eight years on steam, all beta participation. I think I'm set.

Never touched it, don't even have an account. I'm not even going to bother.

Which, really, is okay. I was pretty much set to buy a PS4 prior to the whole "SteamOS" thing, then I started thinking about an HTPC. Now I can wait a little, maybe.

Or maybe just buy a PS4 and do this thing when I can.

I think Valve has been waiting for the console wars to settle down to see what their consumers really want and fill in for that. Valve chose the best time to hit up the console market, in a time where Console's are trying to focus on stupid gimmicks, and social media flustered bullshit. Here comes Valve with their Steam Machines, potentially acquiring the criteria everyone wants and flood it to the masses. Or at least I hope.
