Yeah... I think he will wish the sold that many when the steam box comes out in that amount of time. I really dont think its going to go that well. Most already have a computer with those games, and a steambox is mainly linux which doesnt run all those games in steam.

Yeah I know they are working on it, we will see in time I guess.

14 companies will offer Steam Machines in 2014; many will dual boot Windows: http://www.neowin.net/news/14-companies-will-offer-steam-machines-in-2014-many-will-dual-boot-windows


Did Valve in their licence agreement forced OME to have a ugly design?

ROFL. I hope Steam box bankrupts them. Their titles are overated and they are an extremely slow developer.

65 mill Steam accounts?

How about 80 mill 360's you absolute douche. And the fact that PC Steam runs pretty well on Windows.

Gabe Newell Trying to punch way above his weight. ROFL.



???

He sounds like a child.

Its not butthurt. Hes trying to downplay the 2nd fastest selling console in the history of Consoles. And trying to use 65 mill steam accounts. Xbox Live had 55 mill active Gold accounts Sumer last year and we are at 80 mil 360's and 3 mill Xbox Ones.

He sounds like a guy who knows Steambox will flump hard.

Man, this is totally uncalled for. And seriously misguided. xD

Steam is awesome, and it's improving steadily year after year. Valve may be a "slow developer", but the steps they make, they're always for the better. The Steam box is an added way for people to get Steam in their home. It will grow from here. If linux and devs support Mantle, the Steam box could be a real success. And besides, we don't really yet know what Valve's expectations are when it comes to the Steam box. They already have PC gamers locked to their service and that's not going to change even if their Steam Box venture proves unsuccessful. So I don't see a reason to think they would go bankrupt. That's just you being your usual over-defensive self whenever MS isn't pictured in a way as highly as you do.

Your  comment is even sillier when you know that Valve isn't manufacturing those Steam Boxes. They have multiple partners for that. And even if they were, they're very at ease financially.



I bet gabe had more chins then there are steamaccounts

Well like I said it might have been said jokingly. It probably was. 

@bolded: are you sure about that? 55m active? That sounds like bull.

How do you think you sound when you make those kinds of comments?



I like Valve and Steam is probably the best value out of any service for purely just games.

This is a bad comparison however as he should be comparing XBL to Steam and not Steam to Xbox One.

Either way, not a big deal so no need to argue about it. Steam is a great service, so is XBL. I cant speak for the Steam box but im sure it is a quality product whether it is a success or not

You just went a tad overboard is all :P You insulted him twice, the companies games, their production team and wished bankruptcy on them all in response to what is basically just normal PR bullshit ^^

I do agree it’s a rather silly thing for him to say, but it’s nothing worse than the crap Sony and MS spout off every other week.

Actually typo. I meant 45 million. Its now 48 million. Will likely be over 50 mill active by summer. I know Sony say PSN accounts is over 100 million. But they include inactive. Their total is just acconts made. Microsoft only include accounts used and accessed in the last month. Or is it 3 months?
