<p>>This could easily spiral out of control and cause a level of suffering across the world (esp the global south) most of us on this forum have not lived to see.<p>Daily anxiety attack thanks. As a european I think we are way too vulnerable. Countries divided, rich getting richer, more and more poor people who can barely afford food, and that's in Europe let alone talk about what happens with the poor in Africa and Asia.<p>Sooner or later we will need a global reset but that sounds worse than everything else</p>

<p>I went down the self host route some years ago but once critical problems hit I realized that beyond a simple NAS it can be a very demanding hobby.<p>I was in another country when there was a power outage at home. My internet went down, the server restart but couldn't reconnect anymore because the optical network router also had some problems after the power outage. I could ask my folks to restart, and turn on off things but nothing more than that. So I couldn't reach my Nextcloud instance and other stuff. Maybe an uninterruptible power supply could have helped but the more I was thinking about it after just didn't really worth the hassle anymore. Add a UPS okay. But why not add a dual WAN failover router for extra security if the internet goes down again? etc. It's a bottomless pit (like most hobbies tbh)<p>Also (and that's a me problem maybe) I was using Tailscale but I'm more "paranoid" about it nowadays. Single point of failure service, US-only SSO login (MS, Github, Apple, Google), what if my Apple account gets locked if I redeem a gift card and I can't use Tailscale anymore? I still believe in self hosting but probably I want something even more "self" to the extremes.</p>

<p>>It's a common business model<p>But no one is paying MonoGame in this case?

<p>>I think it's safe to say that Valve is about to win the next console generation.<p>For that they need to outsell the Switch 2. 10m units in 6 months.<p>Good luck with that.</p>

<p>>but it’s a success anyway<p>That's also debatable. Switch 2 sold 10m units in 6 months compared to the Steam Deck's 4 million in 3 years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯<p>The Steam Deck is niche even among the gaming crowd.<p>>COD, Fortnite, LoL players can stay on windows. I’m happy to play newest indie game on my Linux machine<p>This is the mindset that makes the Steam Machine DOA if not priced correctly. No one will pay $800 just to play Hollow Knight in 4k</p>

<p>The elephant in the room: "will this game run on my Steam Machine?"<p>This is really the part a lot of people don't understand and not a qestion you even have to ask when you buy/download a game for a console.<p>Some of the biggest games right now like BF6, COD, or Fortnite, League of Legends, chinese gacha games won't run on this. That excludes a massive part of the market, many of whom would be the exact audience for a simpler, more console-like PC experience. There's also no guarantee that future AAA games will be compatible with this day one (8GB VRAM is very limiting already).<p>Yeah yeah indies but if people want to play X then offering them Z is not an option.<p>This will be DOA anything over $500</p>
