Why on earth have they not called the hardware "Steam Engine" instead of these strange other names?

- meritt 13y agoMaybe they are saving that for their Unity3D competitor :)
- brymaster 13y agoI really like this theory. Seems to me that if Friday's announcement isn't a game reveal, it'll instead be Source Engine 2 and a possible Unity competitor. This would make a lot of sense if Valve is serious about getting developers on board for their SteamMachine/Linux/cross-platform strategy. Valve has already announced the OS and hardware, dev tools could be next.
- wvenable 13y agoStrange names are much easier to search for.
- devindotcom 13y agoTheir company is called "Valve" ;)
- meowface 13y agoAnd they have software named Steam and a game named Half-Life. The top Google hits for all of those things (depending on how Google rates what kind of consumer you are) are not Valve's products. They seem to do fine, though.
- jessaustin 13y agoThey really like "Steam Machine" off Human After All, and they're looking forward to using it in a marketing campaign?
