    Every device they make is called a steam machine… And then gets cancelled. They’ve all blurred together at this point

      The only thing ever called a Steam Machine before was the PC architecture they tried to push over a decade ago that was more or less just cheaper PCs of various builds that all ran on the original SteamOS. None of them were made or sold by Valve itself.

      The only other steam hardware that was cancelled was the Link; because you can do what it did through an app without the need for specialized hardware now.

        And while the Link hardware was cancelled, they still put out updates for it. I think the last update was only a month or two ago.

        Steam Controller 1 also got cancelled but they’re still shipping updates and showing that device too.
