Valve Hiring For Help With Hardware

[SpAc3man]

As I have said before. They are most likely working on devices to be used with PCs that are connected to a TV using the Big Picture Mode UI they have been working on. They won't be making their own branded PC but they will be making use of systems like the Alienware X51 which is a tiny bit larger than the original PS3. Valve wants to bring PC gaming to the living room and is making the new optional UI for Steam to allow this and by the looks of things they will be making controllers too.

tl;dr: Valve is inventing shit to let people use their PC as a living room console.

It would be interesting to see if they could sell gaming PCs at a loss like most of the console companies, and then make up the cost in games.

This of course would require them to lock the PC to only Steam somehow. Which would be bad.

Okay, so no steambox console....

Not a big deal I have a PC that can do what I need, and more.

But what we do need is to include the word "dubiosity" in the English dictionary because it is AWESOME.

Don't suppose Tim Cook's recent visit has anything to do with this.
