| Quote: | | Speaking direct with Tony Tamasi we’ve learned that, yes indeed, the tools you’re seeing running here with Ubuntu will be essentially the same as they’ll be for SteamOS. NVIDIA will also be taking a very similar approach to developing support for SteamOS as they have for other PC platforms. This means similar support on the developer side, but it also means more press push and release support for the public, as well. |

Random rant/thoughts, sparked by a comment on gi.biz. Figured I'd share.

Instead they'll be tied down to Valves closed system
We need a universal ownership storage locker like UltraViolet, not more proprietary walled gardens. Like UV, I should be able to purchase other versions for a small fee ($5 buys me an HD upgrade, why not the PC version of my Dbox game??)1 |

@ Jeff
I can actually see that happening, and I think Valve may be the one to start it. The timing may not be... Great, though. Consider:
Valve is all about the openness - the OS, opening up Greenlight and user-curation (something that Gabe Newell broached last year, I think it was). All of those things speak to broadening the PC market, not closing it down. But right now, Valve needs the control of the PC digital distro market that they have in order to leverage that openness. Valve's such a big player in the PC market that they can't be ignored (as John Carmack implies), and when they say they want to start a shift to Linux gaming, then a shift will happen (the only debate is how large a shift it will be).
But! After this has all settled down, what then? Valve will have leveraged their position into the living room (at least a little). But people have already witnessed what happens when a digital distro client fails with Games For Windows Live, and it costs money. 2K gave the Minerva's Den DLC away free to people who already had Bioshock 2 installed on Steam. Warner Games has given away the GoTY version of Arkham City to the people who had the Vanilla version installed. Why? Because GFWL is being closed, and they can't verify who bought DLC and who didn't.
Valve have seen this happen, and they won't want it to happen again if possible. It costs everyone involved money (including Valve, but not Microsoft, even though it's their fault), and inconveniences consumers. What's the answer? The obvious one is what you suggest - a universal ownership storage space, where you can register a serial bought from anywhere, and have the game. And, indeed, it makes it even easier for consumers new to the PC gaming space, who are already growing accustomed to UltraViolet. It's the very ideal of openness. And just like the push to Linux, Valve have the power to move the industry that way. In fact, it's even easier than the push to Linux - EA, for example, don't even have a Linux version of their Origin client, but they wouldn't turn their nose up at this idea, even if it came from Valve. Right at this very moment in time, though, it's against Valve's business interests to do it.
But soon, I think. |

I'm not really sure what to belive from this. I love linux from a server side, but as a pure desktop it doesn't hold a candle to osx/windows in my opinion.
I don't see steam changing this..
But I could be wrong

| Quote: | | According to The Verge, using the Steam Controller for games such as Portal 2, Trine 2 and Metro: Last Light wasn't a bad experience; it just took some getting used to, since the gamepad was so unfamiliar. And there was no discernible difference in the games running on a Steam Machine or a Windows-based PC. |
That's a very interesting quote (from http://www.polygon.com/2013/11/4/5064866/valve-steam-machine-prototype-looks-like-a-console )

Heh, this should rile up the anti Steam group and even those that want to use the controller on Windows:
| Quote: | | Hope explained that while Valve’s controller is obviously designed to work natively with SteamOS, it can also be detected as a traditional controller by a PC running Steam but would have extremely limited functionality. “Steam constantly updates the firmware that is running in this device,” he said. “Even game by game, and eventually moment by moment, it’s going to be updating the code that’s running in the firmware. For that reason and a few other reasons, like updating configs and so forth, Steam is a required component wherever it runs, PC or Mac. Without Steam, if you plug this into one of those devices and run some game that’s not part of Steam, you would only get the most basic functionality. It wouldn’t actually be very valuable as a controlling device.” |

Well that settles it, at least for me. Having a handicapped gamepad just because I haven't bought the game on Steam yet forces me to throw 'em my 'thanks, but no thanks'

Updating the device firmware "moment by moment"? That's some nice PR bullshit you got going there.

I doubt it'll be that restrictive. I would guess that you only need Steam running for it to update the firmware, rather than actually owning the game on Steam. They could tie it only to starting the game, but that would slow down the "sit-down-and-play" experience, so more likely is that they'll have a "Check for Pad Updates" option as well, just like they already have "Check for Video Driver Updates"

For a developer to make native use of the controller they'll have to use the API Valve will publish. The API of course (I imagine) will be part of the SteamWorks API (like they added eg microtransactions to it, or cards, etc to it).
In non Steam games the controller will probably have some functionality but you obviously can't expect it to be the same.
For example when you run a Steam game with native Steam Controller support and you scroll through a menu on the controller's touch screen the API will display this little window on your monitor so that you don't have to actually look at the touch screen of the controller while you play.
Obviously this can't magically work in non Steam games.

The 300 beta participants will receive Metro: Last Light for free.
| Quote: | Those of us working on the Steam Machines project are excited about this launch: Deep Silver and 4A Games yesterday released the Linux version of Metro: Last Light on Steam, and confirmed support for SteamOS and the Steam Controller.
Metro already supports Steam Play, meaning that owners of any Steam version will automatically find the game added to their Windows PC, Mac and Linux Steam libraries.
Metro: Last Light will also ship for free to the 300 recipients of Valve’s prototype Steam Machine. We will be announcing a few more games that will be part of the beta in the coming days. We will also be selecting final beta participants soon from the pool of eligible applicants, so stay tuned for that, along with more info about how the new in-home streaming feature of Steam.  |

| Quote: | Those of us working on Steam hardware and SteamOS are pleased to announce another game coming soon to the platform. Here's the message straight from Rob Bartholomew at Creative Assembly:
At Creative Assembly we want our customers to be able to play on as many platforms and in as many locations as possible, so today we are announcing future support for both SteamOS and the Steam Controller.
We’ve always wanted the Total War franchise to be enjoyed by living room gamers, but the limitations of traditional hardware made our style of game play impossible. Last month, when Valve invited us to test out the new Steam Controller and unveiled their plans for SteamOS - we were impressed. We believe it will provide us with the control fidelity and platform we need to make a living room experience for ROME II that could be a more compelling experience than playing with keyboard and mouse.
ROME II will be launching on Linux early next year, with full Steam Controller and Big Picture support to be added as soon as Valve gets us a controller dev kit. Pick up a copy of the game this weekend while it’s 25% off and you’ll be able to play the Linux version as soon as it launches! |

Wow Total War on controller? They do have 'exclusives' to compete with consoles. And they really are getting the developers, to try this new ecosystem.
