The Steam Machine has had a lot of hype ever since its announcement late last year, but now that it’s finally here, it’s proving to be quite a dramatic piece of equipment. First, everyone was a little shocked by the price (not really; AI made damn sure we got used to everything being expensive), but now it seems the little box that could is having a rough time working properly.
As first spotted by Digital Foundry, a user on the r/SteamMachine subreddit submitted the first apparent case of the “Red Line of Death,” a moniker taking after the Xbox 360 and its notorious early-2000s crisis with the “Red Ring of Death.” As the name indicates, a red line appeared across the machine’s LED light, accompanied by a glowing red dot emanating from its power button.
Well, the Steam Machine was pretty cool for the 20 minutes that it worked
