Quoting: GuestParadox… So it will be another complicated and expensive game without a demo and with a thousand DLCs, I suppose. Great.

Paradox didn't make this game...it's just being published by them.

Quoting: ShmerlI see no point in buying a Steam Machine when one has a regular PC already (if you want to attach it to the living room - just get some long cables for the video and wireless controllers). The new controller from Valve however is something I'll consider, if they indeed will make drivers open and push them into the upstream kernel. "Streaming" is useless for those who don't have Windows installed elsewhere, so it's not something that interests me.

It seems they are marketing this to Windows gamers who either don't know how to do anything on/with a computer but play games, or for people who want some kind of console-like machine for the living room but don't want to run cables through their entire home. The goal here is to have a pre-built, simple solution that gives Valve complete control over their platform, and gives PC gamers with (I believe) little technical skills other options. And since it's not even released yet, who knows what else they will be bringing to the table. Streaming may be useless for Linux gamers, but they are not targeting Linux gamers, imo.

Most of the blog post is greek to me, but it's sad to see one of Valve's own saying how OGL will be inferior to their competitor's offerings, unless major changes are made....and from what I know about open source development, cutting through all the red tape can take ages

They claim the Steam Linux uploader is borked. I mean, do they seriously expect us to believe that? Blaming others for your incompetence is something little kids do to try to get out of trouble.
