Steam Sales

[taggart6]

Why are you being so closed and blunt about this? Its about releasing all of Valve's steam games into the console market and valve getting a piece of the major gaming industry. PC gaming is such a small slice and they are missing out on the vast majority of gamers. They can't really partner with MS or Sony, for reasons we've said before.

Plus it totally changes the console market. Steam sales are something only the PC guys have, make that available to the console people and it will upset everything.

Look your getting a bit too riled about this and need to check the posts and focus..about 4-5 different things are being argued now. Valve games on more systems, a system dedicated to valve games, Steam being licensed to more platforms, and etc. Its getting random so I'll shoot this and call it a day.

From what's been posted, it sounds like a Valve console is being argued. Dedicated boxes, specialized hardware...thats basically a console. Honestly though, thats not really good or bad and I have no idea why your being defensive or calling me blunt. Heck, I've even agreed that such an idea would be awesome.

However, I don't see it happening nor do I see Valve putting the effort into it. No need to get defensive, Its just my thought. In fact,IMHO it sounds like Valve is taking the opposite route, and partnering with Sony to introduce Steam Cloud on PSN sounds like the first step. Rather then compete with them directly, it kinds looks like they are looking to integrate with everything out there. This really is a first, and I think a large part has to do with Valve's reputation and in-demand game library. But hey, it still in the early phase so it remains to be seen what happens and how much Steam clouds evolve beyond basic user data, updates, and etc.

Personally, that sounds pretty kickass to me. Long term, I figure Valve is looking to connect all Valve gamers regardless of what console/system/hardware they game on. That might never happen either, but hey I'm just throwing it out their.

It would be cool to have a Valve console, but I think it would even cooler to be able to play with other Valve gamers on any console. Forget the hardware and just become flexible an desirable to be place on ANYTHING!. Imagine playing L4D2 on your PC against 360 and PS3 gamers. Imagine playing Half Life 3 on your PC, then going to your buddies house later and being able to continue your game on his PS3 copy. Imagine buying whatever system and being able to play your Valve gaming library. I think thats cool and I would love to see it.
