Forums - PC - Why is the media going nuts over Valve's Steam Box?

"We’ve also learned that the Steam Box will launch with a version of Linux, which means it will most likely launch with a very small library of games."

Steam on Linux already has over 50 games, not including Half Life 2, Left 4 Dead 1+2 & Portal 1+2 which are being worked on. There are also Linux versions of almost all Humble Bundle games which I feel safe in assuming most are going through the approval process for release on Steam (the ones that aren't already there).



Around the Network

The tech and gaming media LOVE Valve. I'm so disinterested in it that I really don't even know all that much about it. It's so far behind the Wii U and the next gen consoles of Sony and MS on my interest level that it doesn't even register.

I'm no Valve hater, just, as I said, extremely disinterested.
