During AMD's latest earnings call that covers the fourth quarter and full year of 2025, AMD chair and CEO Lisa Su gave a small update on Valve's Steam Machine.
To be honest, I expected RAM prices would push back the release date. But AMD would know more about than I would.
As I already have a Playstation 5 for demanding games (and my kids playing Fortnite and Roblox sadly) and a Steam Deck for less demanding games, I really don’t know for sure if I’m gonna get a Steam Machine.
That makes sense. I sometimes forget that not everyone shares my deep burning despise for Sony…yet.
Anyway, it’ll be good to have a better option when the Playstation 6 does whatever bullshit Sony pulls out of their asses next.
What made you despise Sony? I’ve had a good experience over 5 Playstation generations so far. I would just hope they don’t end up having a monopoly over the console market (exc’uding Nintendo). That’s why I’m happy about the Steam Machine.
I guess the disappearance of a physical Bluray player is gonna make me jump to 100% Linux gaming soon anyway.
Those fuckers at Sony made me wipe and rebuild my PC, for the “crime” of listening to one of their fucking CDs at my desk one time.
(Sony’s virus caused all kinds of bugs, and then people who didn’t wipe and rebuild immediately were getting infected by worse viruses within a few days, because Sony’s virus fucked up the PCs defenses so badly.)
I figured I would be less pissed this long later, but I’m not.
Fuck Sony. I’m mad just thinking about it long enough to post this confirmation.
That is what did it, for me. Fuck Sony.
Did I mention “fuck Sony”? Fuck Sony. Bunch of virus writing assholes.

Not op, but I’d like to provide a “why i hate Sony story”: they installed a rootkit on my computer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal
Exactly the link I was going to search for!

21 years is a pretty good stretch to hold onto that grudge. Good work.
Hahaha! Thank you!
I agree, of course.
I thought time might cool it, but no. It’s still as enraging today to remember.
