This is a bold (desperated??) move from Valve to save PC gaming.

They will change so the things stays the same. Many hardware configuations, yearly upgrades, customisation...

Sorry, I can´t see a game changer. Not in the big market, not in mass production and advertising. May be if NVidia joins in. Or Samsung or LG.

Save PC gaming? Lol, you must be joking

No, I´m not.

If the PC market is OK, and with growing perspective in sight, why the hell Valve is trying this?

Why Microsoft has the Xbox and Surface in the first place?  PC gaming is a nicht market, for enthusiasts. 

I´m speaking for me: this year is the last year a will use PC other than working (and may be porn). I will finish the last 10 games I bought at Steam Store. And I won´t ever buy a game that I could not play right away. 

Microsoft or Sony will have to screw up really bad in pricing and services for me to quite the convenience of a console + a tablet.
