It'd do good by us PC people disolitude. Think about it, if they are successful, then it'd push the linux platform further and we'd have actual driver support and most likely good SLI/Crossfire support for linux at really fast performance and can steer away from direct3d and go back to good ol' opengl and then we can give the finger to MS and use a very capable and free OS! Then we can at least have the option to say good bye to windows! :D


Lol...But I like Windows.

I hear ya tho. It may push Pc gaming even deeper in to the livingroom which will eventually have it eclipse all consoles combined.

It won't have any exclusives, Valve is too small for that.

Are exclusives more fun then non exclusives, or is it just an ego thing?

Steambox is just a low end pc?

Point?  It doesn't matter if it has no exclusives if it has a crap load of cheep AAA games.

Point is obvious: no one will buy it if it doesn't have exclusives, everyone already has a pc at home, neither are all Steam games controller enabled.

Time to make my first bet. I bet someone will buy it.

Keyboard & mouse are better for most games anyway, but even if you disagree most games that aren't Big Picture enabled still have gamepad options in the settings.

You didn't answer the simple question, are exclusives more fun than non exclusives, so I'll answer it for you, no they aren't.

Not everyone has a PC that can play games or that the user knows if it will work with a specific game, Steambox will take the guess work out of "Will this game run on my computer?".
