I think it isn't a failure. There are some big successes/
1) Give them leverage on Microsoft to not mess with PC Gaming Ecosystem?
2) Cross Platform more common - personally I am glad more and more games are being made cross platform.
3) Steam Controller sold 500,000 units.
4) Linux has gotten a lot more visibility and GOG.com supports it.
- Zikes 10y agoLinux gaming support will be a slow process, but it has definitely improved a great deal in recent years thanks in large part to Valve's efforts. I think that Steam Machines were more of a signal to consumers and developers that Valve is ready to make Linux gaming viable, and to Microsoft that Valve is ready to take them head on re: walled gardens and desktop app stores, which were more of a concern when Steam Machines were first announced.
