That's not really how I read it. Clearly they are leveraging vale products, (steam os) so include steam in the name. They probably want this name to evoke strength and power, so what's something with steam in the name that is powerful? A steamroller.

I don't think it is meant to roll steam!

I’m not sure I’d be able to order a “fuck your chalupa, bitch” with a straight face, but I’ll try.

Eh, I see your point, but it feels pretty tongue-in-cheek to me. Steamroller is just a cool name that implies the thing is a workhorse.

Remember literally any PC can run steam and Linux. Steam machine is still just hardware.

So I took it as rolling your own steam, not aggressive.

What about making a spherical system and calling it the Steamcube?

I think it would get massive amounts of free advertising. Not sure if it would sell because I wouldn’t want it.

What's the problem with it, exactly? As long as it lives up to its promise and is a better machine, why shouldn't they market it as a better machine or make direct comparisons?

It's not even saying the steam one is bad, just that it is better.

That's like Del Taco coming out with a deep friend taco shell and calling it "Fuck your Chalupa, bitch."

I would go to Del Taco right this moment if this were real.

Or, theres only so many ways you can make a punny name on Steam OS.

But of course that doesnt allow for righteous indignity.
