So, they're going to dethrone MS and Sony, but not Nintendo?

apparently, Hiroshi Yamauchi dropped out as well 0.0


I left during my first year.... make of that what you will.

I have a degree and am in a job I don't really enjoy with debt. Good luck on your future millions.

 

On topic, I guess they know they can't beat Nintendo.

-Gabe Newell :P

Gabe Newell's favourite game is Super Mario 64, he said it in an interview. He also said he's a big fan of Miyamoto.

People that have Steam are already on board with Steam. People that are not are either a) Gamers that know about steam but choose not to use it b) people that dont know about it. People will go to stores and see the Steambox(or in ads), and see that it offers the same games as X1/PS4 but its like your Iphone or droid games.....except the games are much more expensive (slightly less expensive than physical) and you cant resell them towards other games. Oh yeah its missing 60% of the major franchises that you know and love on XB/PS/Wii. Since the system is likely Linux based I would guess the games catalog would be quite thin to start save for indys. I for one hope this fails and hope Steam goes out of business.

Didn't quite understand that part.

If Steam decides to be serious about invading the living room - they will make their presence known.
And regarding the exclusives - with every console you miss a good number of major franchises exclusive to other consoles or PC.


Well people are used to paying $0-$5 on Iphone games they license digitally.......that was poorly worded. I cant think of any PC exclusives save for RTS's and MMO's and people that play them already have PC's.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
