Nah this looks like the 90s again. Valve is one upping the main console makers on their supposed "vision" for the future. Any company thinking it'll survive off a cloud infrastructure is going to be sorely mistaken. Cloud is like Phazon. |
My post wasn't really about Valve, more than it was about the fact that current market trends set by traditional console makers are going to get run over by bigger competitors that know how to make the hundreds of millions of sales, such as Apple, Google and Samsung, much like how Apple ran over its competition in the phone market. If it's Valve then that's who it'll be, but in the end whether it's Valve or another player, that's what will happen in the near future next gen or the one after, if not during this gen.
Mostly, my post was about how consoles that evolve throughout a gen are the future of console gaming. So PC-type architecture is the natural future for console gaming. It's a no-brainer. Why have a static console when you can have an evolving console that improves over time, with a base-line if needed?
I'm not sure I see how the article relates to the cloud. But even then, Google makes the majority of its revenue off the cloud. I'm not sure it's like Phazon. But that's kind of off-topic.
