I'm rather skeptical about their in-home streaming option. In a world where games are buying LCDs to minimize input lag, what kind of a performance are they expecting from streaming a game over LAN?
I'm interested in knowing how this streaming is going to work. Is this similar to VNC?
- Kiro 13y agoI don't think that applies to the majority of gamers. In fact, I bet most gamers don't even know what input lag is.
- millstone 13y agoI'm more concerned with the prospect of needing to buy both a PC and a Steambox to play games.
- yaeger 13y ago>needing to buy That's a non issue. Valve would be stupid to start making Linux only games. The SteamMachine is for people who would want to play pc games in their living room but who don't have a PC anywhere close to connect it to the tv. So now, they can get the Steam Machine. But since Linux based games on Steam are still a minority, people might say they don't want that "console" if it doesn't have much games so Valve set it up that you can stream every windows based game from your pc that can be anywhere in your home via lan to your SteamMachine.
