not a lie of valve more of a thing out of valve's control

not every game works because as technology advances things that are no longer needed in the operating system start to fall into compatibility and eventually may stop working however they can work again when you fix it yourself through more compatibility layers or changes in settings within config files or in cases running a older operating system

all the games work at some point developers maintain them till their contract ends this is the part that is out of steams control they are just a store front they do not have the licensing to work on someone else's game if they would do it then they end up with a lot of legal issues and not just the ones they would be able to shrug off it likely would become the end of steam

valve has its own game studio but they only have the rights to repair what they own anything that they do not own they are not allowed by law to fix

so you are barking at the wrong tree complain to the developers of the games that no longer work

when arm processors start to become a mainstream thing a lot more games will no longer work and because the developers of those games do not likely want to spend money into it because their contract is filled you are dependent on the community to fix

so i suggest you start checking if the community made a fix or complain to the game developers its like going to a video game store purchasing a game then complaining that it doesn't work on your system because it was made for windows xp and you are trying to run it on windows 11 and now you demand the store to fix it the store is not responsible for your hardware/software

and know that game developers have no obligation to fix the game for you when it is outside their contract time

steam controllers or any controller, can work using steam input mappings

steam -> library -> select game -> gear -> properties -> controller tab -> enable steam input
steam -> library -> select game -> gear -> manage -> controller input
browse config, select default for the game, or edit layout and chagne its mapping to anything, k/m or controllers

if you need more help ask in steam controller forum

If it's anything like a steamdeck controller, it WILL work with every single game.

Like, i tried it on old games, on new games, games without controller suport, games with limited controller suport, GOG games, Epic games, emulated games...

All of them work, with some tinkering, but they DO work. Like, for ♥♥♥♥'s sakes, i play Total War games on a steamdeck.

And i'm not a Valve defender, steam machine is a joke and steam frame lacks even a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wired connection option, but how about we criticise them for their actual ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, not made up ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Even with Steam input I can name 10000s of games that just won't work whatsoever on the Steam Controller another lie from Valve.

You're the one making crap up kid. With Steam imput you can literally map controls for any game. Please look these things up before posting.

When you have to rely on Steam Input over native controller support then after you launch the game, you may need to bring up the Steam Overlay and configure the Controller for game input bindings.

Just don’t buy these useless inventions by the way when there are already many of them on the market

the steam macxhine has the same limitations thatl aptop have which is that you can not upgrade it except the ssd while we with our pcs we upgrade any component we want at any time we want
I didnt get a steam machine or controler when they released them for the first time in 2013 and i have no reaons to get them now. I will continue upgrading the pc when it gets old or when a component burns.
Also mine pc is already more powerful than steam machine, xbox series x, and playstation 5 because it is RYZEN 7 1700 RX 6700XT 12 GB RED DEVIL 16 GB DDR4 3200MHZCL15 MP 600 2TB WRITE:4950MB/S READ:4250MB/S DELLP2416D 24'' 2560X1440 60 HZ IPS
The next upgrade will be cpu ram and motherboard in few motnhs when zen 6 releases

Your CPU is weaker than all of those by quite a bit.

Nope.

RYZEN 7 1700

The Ryzen 7 3700X is the desktop CPU closest to the PS5/SeriesX, smokes yours.

RX 6700XT 12 G

Now your GPU is about on par with consoles closest to SeriesX.

So if we sum up the performance of your PC it's the same as a SeriesX but with a weaker CPU.

Few months? They are about a year away, late 26 or early 27.

few months yes. According to rumors amd will announce the release date at January in CES. Yes mine pc is better than xbox series x and playstation 5 and when i change cpu ram and motbherboard it will be a lot better than them.

Yeah so that's a few months just to say they are coming later, could be a year out yet.

Specs never matter anyway, if you're happy playing the games you play then it's fine.

not a year . It is already one year and 3,5 months since the release of zen 6 in August 2024. The release of next amd cpus will be before one year.

I believe things will change since Microsoft is absolutely destroying itself.
