I want to praise the name choice. "Machine" is very catchy.


I was really pulling for "GabeCube".


SteamEngine would've been rather cool too... unless there is something already called the Steam Engine... or if it didn't confuse the connotation too much with other software types of "engines"


A few theories are Valve has been working on their Source 2 engine and will release it as a competitor to Unity naming it SteamEngine. Supporting win/mac/linux/steamOS etc.

Also SteamMachine might be more unique and thus easier to search for.
