Under weekendens Video Game Awards løftede Valve-bossen Gabe Newell en smule af sløret for Valves fremtidsplaner. Og det nyder unægteligt som om, at udvikleren barsler med en konsol-agtig maskine.
I et interview med Kotaku siger Newell:
"I think in general that most customers and most developers are gonna find that [the PC is] a better environment for them. Cause they won't have to split the world into thinking about 'why are my friends in the living room, why are my video sources in the living room different from everyone else?' So in a sense we hopefully are gonna unify those environments."
Og Valve bliver ikke de eneste, der udgiver dagligstuecomputere, eller en form for konsoller om man vil, ifølge Newell: "We'll do it but we also think other people will as well."
Han uddyber blandt andet: "Well certainly our hardware will be a very controlled environment. If you want more flexibility, you can always buy a more general purpose PC. For people who want a more turnkey solution, that's what some people are really gonna want for their living room."
"The nice thing about a PC is a lot of different people can try out different solutions, and customers can find the ones that work best for them", siger Newell.
