You can still build a pretty serviceable SteamOS compatible machine with second hand parts. I built an AM4 based machine with an RX6600XT, mostly out of second hand parts and it was a fraction of the cost of a Steam Machine and very comparable in performance. SteamOS runs perfectly on it. I would prefer AI to die so we can get back to sane prices but it isn't like a PS5 is particularly cheap these days either. Best bit is the only game I was remotely interested in on PS5 that isn't on PC was Wolverine and that's turned out to be utter trash so ..... yay?

If only AI hadn't fucked over Steam machine pricing...
