NowGamer: Is a secret Steam console in development at Valve? games™’s interview with Portal creator Kim Swift suggests there may well be.
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.

Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
I'm fully expecting Valve to launch their steambox console (however, I don't know when).
I think it would have been a great idea, but they did deny it.
i think working with a console will be much more beneficial. Everyone who has a pc has steam. Console owners feel very comfortable with their consoles. So, u would b a 4th option at best. And how does it work? Are the games settings based on ur pc? If so, this would be great for next gen consoles. It simply broadens the base. It is different than onlive etc. because it uses the hardware to determine quality.
Unless the steam box is gonna offer something new, it would b a big risk for a company with little overhead right now. They can still strike a deal with playstation as steam is much different than onlive etc., as mentioned above. Though, if i am microsoft or sony, i create my own steam linked to xbl and psn and its stats and friends.
I don't think it's the time yet probably after ps4 generation then it would work then I just think internet will be alot faster in 5 years time and this would need a faster connection for downloading massive games like mp3 for example 35gb that's big and future games are going to be alot bigger than that.
I don't see the point of a Steam Console. Just build a PC instead.
