I genuinely feel bad for Valve, and I feel that’s a weird thing to say about a corporation that probably has more money than they know what to do with. But watching the internet pile on the Steam Machine launch this week, knowing everything that went into getting here from their development of Proton to the impressive architecture of the device, it’s hard not to feel like they’re taking a beating they didn’t really deserve.
