Valve's 'Steam Box' Console Is Real, Says Gabe Newell

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday December 8, 2012 @04:04PM from the come-out-right-after-half-life-3 dept.

symbolset writes "The Verge is reporting that the Steam Console we discussed in November is a real thing. Gabe Newell said it will be a locked down platform for the living room. The source is a Kotaku interview with Newell at the Video Game Awards. Newell said, 'Well certainly our hardware will be a very controlled environment. If you want more flexibility, you can always buy a more general-purpose PC. For people who want a more turnkey solution, that's what some people are really gonna want for their living room. The nice thing about a PC is a lot of different people can try out different solutions, and customers can find the ones that work best for them.'"

No, really, it's not funny. Nor fun. But it is true.

No, no, no. It's confirmed research published in 2012 by authors Stetson, Harrison.[1]
