Following on from the success of the Steam Deck, Valve is creating its very own ecosystem of products. The Steam Frame, Steam Machine, and Steam Controller are all set to launch in the new year. We've tried each of them and here's what you need to know about each one.

"From the Frame to the Controller to the Machine, we're a fairly small industrial design team here, and we really made sure it felt like a family of devices, even to the slightest detail," Clement Gallois, a designer at Valve, tells me during a recent visit to Valve HQ. "How it feels, the buttons, how they react… everything belongs and works together kind of seamlessly."

For more detail, make sure to check out our in-depth stories linked below:

Steam Frame: Valve's new wireless VR headset

Steam Machine: Compact living room gaming box

Steam Controller: A controller to replace your mouse

Valve's official video announcement.

So uh, ahem.

Yes.

Valve can indeed count to three.

Ah, didn't see it, I went with pcgamer, not gamespot, on mobile, it didn't auto tell me 'somebody already posted that url, dummy!'

Oh well, all my cross posts to every other gaming community I can see are blowing up, I guess beehaw is the only place quicker on the trigger on this one than everywhere else.

yeahhhh and I mean, there's no rule about it so it's not like you're in trouble or anything, this is just a thing I care about. I like to see big threads with lots of comments and lively discussion! If this was reddit it wouldn't matter, the upvotes would sort it out or both threads would just coexist and it would be fine. In this smaller community, two people posting the same story from diff sources at the same time can lead to both comment threads being relatively dead. I will call this out in comments bc of my own personal goal of seeing consolidated threads. My hope is folks will double-check before posting in the future. In this case, I think the other post blew up before you posted, so it just means that this comment section will be sorta dead. Glad you cross-posted to the other gaming communities!

Yeah, I'm not trying to like, karma farm... I usually do this kind of strat with like, some kind of serious world/us/political/financial news.

I'm trying to maximize visibility, but... yeah, a side effect of that is diffuse comment sections... both within one community/lemmy, and across diffent communities/lemmys.

I dunno.

Who is or isn't federated with who?

I dunno.

???

If I see an already existing huge thread about the same thing, or very similsr thing, I try to join in there, but, I did not see that this time, I missed it.

There something like double or triple as many fairly large (10k + members) gaming comms... as major news comms, at least from what I see.

I don’t usually crosspost quickly because it acts more like c/all spam for the people that browse it
