The End Of The Personal Computer As We Know It?

If gaming is set to evolve, and move seamlessly across devices, then a locked-down operating system such as Windows is scarcely appealing to a technology giant such as Valve.”

Is this article from 2003? 2008? 2011? 2013? I can't tell cause these articles have always existed. And no, no end in site.

It's weird how 1 guy replies to another's quote and says sorry as if he was the one saying that...

*Trolls*

@UltimateMaster
I don't understand what you're trying to say.

'The End Of The Personal Computer As We Know It?'

The Feb reveal of the PS4 was the equivalent of the meteorite that wiped out the Dinosaurs. This time it's the..........PC

hellvaguy3819d ago

Mandatory paid online? Think sony will lose more customers to pc gaming than vise versa. Plus with steam they can take some of thier library with them. Also no keyboard/m means wont be converting any mmo fans either.

Lon3wolf3819d ago

Windows is barely locked down when compared to MAC OS funnily enough.

Roccetarius3819d ago

If anything, SteamOS will probably have miniscule differences as well.

At least it's a step in the right direction, so we can have a universal platform instead.

The PC.

SkullBlade1693819d ago (Edited 3819d ago )

Lol no not happening, people have been saying this will happen at the start of every console generation since the 6th generation.

NarooN3819d ago

PC isn't going anywhere. Dunno why people continue to write these ridiculous articles.

Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 Fan Projects Shut Down by Valve Takedowns

Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.

-Foxtrot100d ago

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.

rlow1100d ago

@Foxtrot
It’s called money plain and simple.

JEECE99d ago

I mean, that might explain the Team Fortress 2 thing, because Valve might bring that to Source 2 (though I'm not sure I'd bet on that), but I can't see how Portal 64 hurts them. If anything, it's more attention to the Portal and therefore Valve/Steam.

Giblet_Head99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

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.

Inverno99d ago

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 Opens the Floodgates to Allow More AI Based Games on Steam

Valve has updated its stance on AI games on the Steam storefront, allowing creators to publish AI-created games.

Droppedez100d ago

AI is just another form of slavery for our computer brethren.

Barlos99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

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.

BrainSyphoned99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

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 Tells Players To Stop Inhaling Steam Deck Vent Fumes

Valve has officially warned against inhaling the Steam Deck vent fumes in an official response due to potential health hazards.

gold_drake126d ago

my god, people are so dumb these days.

shinoff2183125d ago

I read the headline to my girl and she even reacted wtf is wrong with people. People wild

Notellin123d ago

I feel bad for her that she can't read and needs you to do it for her. Keep your head up!

shinoff2183123d ago

Notellin, I've been teaching her 😘

Jin_Sakai124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

This generation is about dumb as it gets.

frostypants124d ago

Huffing things isn't new to be fair.

SavageFlamingo124d ago

This has nothing to do with generations. It’s not a stupid challenge or anything. People just happened to smell it while they were playing. The steam deck exhaust is easy to smell without even trying. Just playing it you’ll smell it in the air around you.

Felix_Argyle_Catbro123d ago

"tHiS gEErAtIoN"
It's every generation, today you just see it more clearly thanks to internet.

k2d124d ago

To be fair, I loved the smell of glue, gas and certain plastics as a kid (new disc cartridges/new hardware, anyone?)

Si-Fly123d ago

Instruction manuals for me, best smell ever 😂

crazyCoconuts124d ago

I actually take a whiff of it once in a while, it's funny that it smells so good lol

DarXyde124d ago

Tide pod fiasco all over again

Felix_Argyle_Catbro123d ago

"tHeSe DaYs"
People have been just as dumb in the past, you just see it clearly now thanks to the internet.

gold_drake123d ago

thanks for that .. insight. ha.

rlow1123d ago

Well good thing about dumb people, they play an important part in human history. How else do we know which plants, animals and foods ar dangerous? Dumb people! They pay the price so the rest of us don’t have to. Lol

FinalFantasyFanatic123d ago

Honestly, I'm not even surprised considering some of the people I come across these days, inhaling fumes would explain a lot of things.

Wow people will huff anything nowadays some people just have way too much time on their hands.

Abnor_Mal124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

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?

KwietStorm_BLM124d ago

Were you high when you typed this?

Abnor_Mal124d ago

Sorry bud no Steam Deck here.

124d ago
FinalFantasyFanatic123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Even the Steam Deck does streaming better than the Portal (they portal is capped for streaming for some reason, whereas the Steam Deck isn't).

Neonridr123d ago

imagine pretending a glorified streaming device is better than a stand alone unit that can also, stream.

Stand by for the 'gaming kills' articles.
Que Halloween movie theme.

Nucleux124d ago

What does it smell/taste like?

Barlos124d ago

Better than the Switch cartridges is my guess.

Just to be clear, I've never licked a Switch cartridge, nor have I inhaled my deck's fumes.

Profchaos124d ago

Same never licked a switch cart I've always been worried more about where it's been than the taste but

Fluke_Skywalker124d ago

It smells good, that's the problem lol. When I first turned mine on I noticed it 😅
Better stop sniffing it then.

Barlos124d ago

I've had my deck for over a year, I've never been compelled to put my nose near the vent for a good lungful 😂

crazyCoconuts124d ago

I can't explain it... It smells...new

SavageFlamingo124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

Kind of like cheap bacon cooking. Even cheap bacon smells good.
