Maximum PC: When Valve finally unwrapped the specs of the 300 beta Steam Machines last week, many assumed that Nvidia would have a lock on Valve’s Linux-based gaming machines. Today though, Valve broke cover yet again telling us that Steam Machines would support the three primary graphics vendors today.
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?
This is good to hear; I won't get a steam machine because I have a pc, but I prefer the price/power ratio of AMD.
So they really just are pcs in cases made to fit under a tv.
i can the prices between 400-600 U.S dollars
Steambox is soooo pointless... Just grab your freaking rig and hook it up to your TV with an HDMI cable and that's it. Now you have a totally custom Steambox.
This machine needs to be plug and play.
As of right now there are very few games for Linux.
The controller looks interesting.
I only have a iPad for Internet use so I could use a valve box.
The #1 key to if I get this is if a AAA game comes out for my xbox one, it better also come out with a Linux version on steam the same day.
Don't give me this "just stream the game" shit, as I said, I only have a iPad, no PC.
