Valve may repeat a parallel for 'Android' in 'Gaming'. Make a Linux-based OS layer, with standardized interface to TV, WIFI, gaming controllers and GPU. Produce 'Nexus' lines but also allow others to produce. Make sure you have a market called Steam Play Store but also allow others to implement their own stores.
- mtgx 14y agoGoogle had the opportunity to try that ever since they launched Google TV 2 years ago. Make Android/Google TV a "console platform", and make $100-$150 devices kind of like OUYA, but allow many manufacturers to build them, and crowd the market with them. But they totally blew it on that one, because now it's probably too late to start that, especially considering how little Google cares about making Android a strong gaming platform (hint: they probably wouldn't even try to get game developers to write games for this "platform". They would just wait and see). But yeah, if Valve does that, it would be great for Linux gaming, and OpenGL gaming in general.
