    * Even if you assembled it yourself you would be missing features, such as cec, wake by controller, sleep mid game, etc.

    I’ve been actively mass downvoted on Reddit for being excited for these features. People are really fucking stupid sometimes.

    I have a significantly more powerful PC (in a tower case) currently hooked up to my tv surviving the same purpose and I will likely be getting the Steam Machine entirely for these features.

    “But just use a dongle” they say. And I do. It works about half the time and I have to do this weird dance involving pulling up Kodi

      I’d bet it was more about the phrasing and it probably commented in a way that downplayed concerns other people had.

        You’d be wrong then.

        “Why exactly would anyone want this?”

        “CEC, that alone sold it for me”

          I just can’t take your word for it. It doesn’t pass my smell test and I haven’t seen it.

          Neither phrase even turns up results.
