Gabe announced that windows fails and he wants to go linux. So based of this, the console will be Linux based that either allows to run Windows based games, or, what I think Gabe is aiming at, urging the developers to make hardcore games for Linux. Either way, this will be the first time Valve is going into hardware (at least to my knowledge) so we'll see where this goes.......
All in all this is about integration and innovation :)
- The_Sponge 14y agoI think that the big deal is that they would essentially be setting a baseline level of hardware for developers (and consumers) to target.
- rushone2009 14y agoTrue. One thing though, I do not agree with you that game devs target consoles first, before porting to PC. In fact, I its the other way around. Battlefield 3 and the engine it is built on, targeted primarily PC performance, scaled down to run on consoles. Same thing for most games out there.
