Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 5 hours agoI suspect the DRM those streaming services rely on will start to budge on Linux in the near future, as it gains market share. In the meantime though, I’ve mostly been using Jellyfin lately, which ironically works on Steam Machine but not the other consoles. I’ve still got my PS4 from 10+ years ago for the regular streaming services, when I still have a subscription to any of them.

I doubt, one of the reasons they kept this on a leash was the incredible amount of third party markets devices that flooded the market pushing malware and trackers. I don’t foresee in a near future the Stream providers flexing more the rules. They will probably keep that close to the small amount of licensed companies and TV manufactures.

They wouldn’t be licensing it to Valve for this device; it would be the DRM vendor updating their software for web browsers on what had been a niche operating system and is becoming less and less niche of late.
