Gabe Newell gave a keynote address at LinuxCon in New Orleans, where the Valve
managing director was highly critical of Windows while reiterating Valve's
support for Linux as a gaming platform, reports
Ars Technica. He says there will be a tangible demonstration of this soon:
"Next week we're going to be rolling out more information about how we get there
and what are the hardware opportunities we see for bringing Linux into the
living room." Valve confirmed plans for a Linux Steam client
last year and
not long after
Newell famously labeled Windows 8 a "catastrophe." He also predicts a PC
hardware shakeup. "I think we'll see either significant restructuring or market
exits by top five PC players. It's looking pretty grim," he said. "Systems which
are innovation-friendly and embrace openness are going to have a greater
competitive advantage to closed or tightly regulated systems."
