It would be a great way for them to consolidate the PC expansion

- reach a wider audience and gain visibility within the mainstream
- detail the new features to come and show how advanced they are compared to consoles and other PC "platforms" (Origin, Uplay)
- develop partnerships with indies and big publishers alike
- demo their source engine


Regarding the lack of Valve IP on Steam, I completely disagree with the posters above
They actually have more third party exclusives than any console - bringing their games forward it would only illustrate the originality and variety of their games

This is what destroys gaming.   F* mainstreamers.

Steam machines will be as niche of a console as the Ouya.  I believe there is low demand for the Steam machine. Hell, I could go into work today and ask everyone that plays on home consoles and they wouldn't know what the fuck a Steam machine is. Maybe 1 person might know (the person I talk to about the machine a few months back and he probably forgot what the heck it is).

Yeah PC is pretty much mainstream. Problem is the "Master Race" gets no love from media because there is no unified hardware that can pay for PR. There is too much infighting and disparity. It's like a constant console war inside a single platform. Even steam machine suffers from it, which I think was a misstep for them even tho what they did do will be profitable for them. I mean not every game will be playable on every steam machine because there will be such a disparity in hardware. It's good that with the steam machines OS they have managed to eliminate some of the software disparity issues that plagues PC but they ended up creating hardware disparity in a single console generation which isn't exactly a good thing for consumers. In short steam will likely never be at E3 because it can't really invest in PR, it's entirely too complex/chaotic, there is no real unity, and there is too much infighting. Not that it needs it tho, it does just fine the way it is. Also if it goes to E3 it would be saying it's the same as the consoles and it's not. It's in an entirely different league that is designed to sit outside of that realm and lead it and influence it from the outside with hardware and software innovation that constantly pushes the boundaries.


Lol, no it's not.

I'd hate to burst your bubble with reality but it's been mainstream for awhile..http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/97705-pc-gaming-vs-consoles-the-infographic  This isn't the late 90's/early 2k's anymore PC gamers are no longer rare or a minority. PC gamers have a good majority and are as mainstream as it gets. Hell my grand parents are PC gamers and love steam.

Why would they go? Most people at e3 are console gamers, not pc. And since their steamboxes have been delayed to 2015, any "console related" announcements they have will be for next year, not this year. Why even bother? Now, they should absolutely be at next year's E3 unless there is another delay.
