Valve’s PR rep Doug Lombardi says they "are bringing multiple custom hardware prototypes as well as some off-the-shelf PC’s to our CES meetings, which are low-cost, high performance designs for the living room that are great candidates for Steam and Big Picture."
Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.
First they open Steam up to more AI, now they are shutting down fan projects when at one time they used to support or even give the fans jobs.
Wonder what's going on with Valve at the minute.
There's potential that Valve had already planned to bring Source 2 to TF2 officially after Counter Strike 2. It's been getting some renewed attention lately.
You got Nintendo to thank for Portal64 being taken down. As for TF2, most likely it's due to the probability of Valve working on a source 2 port themselves. It's sucks but Nintendo are the biggest pricks in the business and not letting this drag out into a huge court drama is the best decision.
Valve has updated its stance on AI games on the Steam storefront, allowing creators to publish AI-created games.
Hell no. I want games that have been made by creative minds who have a passion for their craft, not a bot with a penchant for plagiarism.
So instead of paying for an engine and assets to create a game they are paying for an engine and assets to create a game.
Valve has officially warned against inhaling the Steam Deck vent fumes in an official response due to potential health hazards.
Wow people will huff anything nowadays some people just have way too much time on their hands.
Another reason to love the PlayStation Portal, no chance of breathing in noxious vapors.
Get a Steam Deck they said, to which I reply, what are you high?
They keep stating over and over that none of these are necessarily the "steam box".
They even went so far as to say "please don't call it the steam box".
Let's wait for valve to actually show their product can we?
These are Xi3's modular computers, which are actually already available.
And really hoping for an unexpected surprise of announcing half-life 2 episode 3.....
So excited for the "Steam Box" but if it isn't officially announced by March, I'm going to take the plunge and just buy a dedicated gaming computer.
Thank God!! I was really dissapointed seeing that little Ouya-like cube. It's a great looking device but only without the cables attached and I doubt it can harness much power.
Why not just build a PC and connect it to a TV and not do the whole Steam Box thing?
