  • Despite the hopes of many industry analysts, the Steam Machine project, which promised all the benefits of PC gaming with no headaches, led to a paltry set of middling gaming PCs. Valve mothballed the strategy in 2018. Of course, that's not the end of the story. Far from it.

The article from Polygon discusses the evolving landscape of PC gaming, highlighting its increasing mainstream appeal and how it compares to console gaming as of 2025. It notes that PC gaming has become more accessible with platforms like Steam Deck, cloud gaming services, and the integration of game subscription models similar to those on consoles.

It also touches on the ongoing debate about performance, with PCs offering superior graphics and customization at the cost of potentially higher expenses and technical know-how. The article suggests that while consoles still hold a significant market share due to their simplicity and lower entry cost, PC gaming is catching up by becoming more user-friendly and offering unique advantages like modding, higher frame rates, and better graphics, potentially reshaping the gaming industry's dynamics.
