I Bought a Steam Machine – Here’s Why (and How It’s Going)

To buy a Steam Machine, you first must join a waitlist. I wasn't actually going to buy one. That is, when I wasn’t playing my PS5, Xbox Series X, or Switch 2. While I had some initial problems trying to play older games that don’t support Steam cloud saves (and thus couldn’t pick up the progress I’d made on Steam Deck), I downloaded a handful of newer games (The Witcher 3 Remastered, The Order of the Sinking Star, ARC Raiders) and have been playing happily across devices.
