Valve isn't teaming up with Apple to release any console...the visit prob has more to do with all the Mac support on Steam..

Crap_Turtle4391d ago

I wont click on the link, because I wont support sensationalism

morganfell4391d ago

Valve has already stated it didn't happen but here is one more site, not serving the gaming community but rather their own hit hungry needs. Didn't click this time and never clicking this site again.

miyamoto4391d ago

Good Call. They are desperate for clicks.

Wigriff4390d ago

It was already confirmed that Gabe Newell and Valve didn't meet with Apple. http://www.computerandvideo...

I swear to the bushes, i'm going to write a bullshit, speculative, sensationalist article on how Panasonic is going to DOMINATE by releasing the 3D0 2, just so I can watch it get to 800 fucking degrees on n4g. :P

mistajeff4390d ago

Yeah, definitely not teaming up for a console. Even disregarding the fact that the visit didn't happen-- Valve keeps pushing for Sony and Microsoft to open up their consoles, and Apple likes to keep their ecosystem as tightly closed as possible. It just wouldn't work.

cjflora4390d ago

There is no way Valve would team with Apple to make a console. They like open consoles where they have freedom to do what they want. Apple would never give them the freedom they want.

Valve games dominate on PC, a platform for it's fans. Apple dominate the mobile market. I don't see a PC gamer or casual pocket gamer buying a console when it's clear what they're interested in, no?

BitbyDeath4391d ago (Edited 4391d ago )

If Valve were to team up with anyone it'd likely be Google.

Xristo4391d ago (Edited 4391d ago )

Yah, just like Sony had "no chance" when Nintendo said no to their CD expansion which later became a Playstation....

Don't sell a company as successful as Valve so short...

TekoIie4391d ago

Valve make good games but that doesn't mean they could be successful in producing a console. Although Valve has probobaly got "the most liked games" for a single publisher meaning that if those were to be exclusives for a Valve platform it would defo put up a BIG fight for its competition.

Xristo4391d ago (Edited 4391d ago )

@ Pekolia

I "agreed" and 100% agree with your post. I will not say that Valve WILL/WOULD make a console better than any competition but they definitely understand gaming and know what the consumer wants. My above post was just to prove that people laughed at Sony when they first announced the Playstation and said that Nintendo and Sega had the market on lockdown. They proved so many wrong....who's to say another company can't do the same?

chukamachine4391d ago

Android dominate the mobile market i'm afraid.

Apple 30% share US market
Android 50% share US market

Not quite sure why people rush to iphone anyway, Samsung galaxy s2 shits all over iphone4s and then some,lol

MysticStrummer4391d ago

Yeah it's funny that iPhone is considered sort of a status symbol by so many when it's really not as good as other phones. Humans are stupid.

shackdaddy4391d ago

Well, I'm not supporting any company but iOS is on one phone (the iphone) while Android which works on multiple phones from different companies.

It's pretty obvious that they are dominating because it's basically every phone that isn't an iPhone...

Octo14390d ago

Just because it has the larger share does not mean quality. Don't get me wrong. I think for finding a good app on iTunes is about the same on Google Play. I do tech support for Android games and I am sorry but Android as a whole is one friggin' mess! Its the only platform I know that you can download an app that is compatible today and not tomorrow :S Try answering someone emailing you asking why Tiny Tower was working yesterday but today after an update deems their device "not compatible". That's not cool specially if you've already made in app purchases :S
Android has a lot of good ideas and I get the "Freedom" for developers and hobbyist but holy crap! The execution is terrible. Say what you will about Apple being too restrictive and have too many rules when it comes to iTunes. At the end of the day I'd rather know that an app I download will work and will continue to work down the road.

Fylus4390d ago

That happens a very small majority of the time and it's the developer of the apps fault, not the Android OS.

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.

-Foxtrot108d 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.

rlow1108d ago

@Foxtrot
It’s called money plain and simple.

JEECE107d 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_Head108d ago (Edited 108d 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.

Inverno107d 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.

Droppedez108d ago

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

Barlos108d ago (Edited 108d 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.

BrainSyphoned107d ago (Edited 107d 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_drake134d ago

my god, people are so dumb these days.

shinoff2183134d ago

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

Notellin132d ago

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

shinoff2183131d ago

Notellin, I've been teaching her 😘

Jin_Sakai132d ago (Edited 132d ago )

This generation is about dumb as it gets.

frostypants132d ago

Huffing things isn't new to be fair.

SavageFlamingo132d 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_Catbro132d ago

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

k2d132d ago

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

Si-Fly131d ago

Instruction manuals for me, best smell ever 😂

crazyCoconuts132d ago

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

DarXyde132d ago

Tide pod fiasco all over again

Felix_Argyle_Catbro132d ago

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

gold_drake132d ago

thanks for that .. insight. ha.

rlow1132d 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

FinalFantasyFanatic132d 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_Mal132d ago (Edited 132d 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_BLM132d ago

Were you high when you typed this?

Abnor_Mal132d ago

Sorry bud no Steam Deck here.

132d ago
FinalFantasyFanatic132d ago (Edited 132d 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).

Neonridr132d 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.

Nucleux132d ago

What does it smell/taste like?

Barlos132d 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.

Profchaos132d ago

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

Fluke_Skywalker132d ago

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

Barlos132d 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 😂

crazyCoconuts132d ago

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

SavageFlamingo132d ago (Edited 132d ago )

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