The Steam Frame is ‘just around the corner’ but the Steam Machine has already killed my interest — only Half-Life could save it now

The Steam Frame.

• A VR game developer has teased that the Steam Frame is landing soon
• The Steam Machine launched at a much higher-than-expected price
• A Half-Life game has been teased for the Steam Frame, but would that save it?

When Valve’s new hardware was announced late last year, I couldn’t care less about the Steam Machine; I was far more interested in the Steam Frame standalone VR headset it was preparing for us.
