Valve Hiring Hardware Developers

New submitter Canazza writes "According to Develop, 'PC games giant Valve wants to "invent whole new gaming experiences" and is looking for people to help create new hardware, the Washington studio has confirmed. Off the back of a wave of speculation that the studio is building its own games console – a rumour which Valve has not specifically denied – the company now appears to be increasing capacity of its hardware development division.' Is Valve designing a new console? Or is this an expansion of its biometric controls research? Either way, something big is going down at Valve."

no one would try better OS like Linux.

Subjective statement is subjective.

There is no Linux version! And you know why?

Yes, yes I do. Because in order for a linux version to be worth the time to code, you'd need a decent library of games that actually run on linux.
Not to mention there's several different operating systems that fall under the brand of "linux".
It's a coding nightmare, and most companies don't want to take such a massive amount of time for a minority.

There's no Linux version because linux types are the types to reject DRM, which is what Steam is. I buy games from GOG and I like it. On the other hand, I also have a game console, which has plenty of DRM. However, it has resale value, however small. If the next generation prevents resale somehow then I won't be buying it at all.
