Well, they already told the press that it will be pricier than normal consoles, because in the end it is a PC and they cannot make good losses with games like Sony and Microsoft do, because it is an open market.

The LTT video on the steam machine is a good watch on this I think

Thanks for your insight :)

Does every game need to support it in a way, or would this be done on an OS level? Because I don’t know, from my experience, the game tells how detailed anything has to be rendered in a frame.

I only have german articles. I only heard it in the video source below, and they sadly don’t really say how the normal problems with hub motors would be solved even though they have a section for it in the video.

German company DeepDrive has some kinda promising tech. And the ID.Polo seems to be said to have hub motors.

True, lol

Well, other states did switch before but then went back. We’ll have to see. I welcome this step, if it continues.
