Valve doesn’t make computers, however they do make the Steam Deck and Steam Machine. The answer is yes, Valve will likely continue pushing these products unless there are significant changes. Also, Jeff Bezos is wrong, I would rather play on Intel integrated graphics than a Ryzen 4070 through cloud gaming until the day I die

Valve has others make the components for them. So people would just be able to buy components.

Good luck pirating streamed games.

I’d rather stop gaming all together than play on the cloud. I don’t see this ever happening at all.

Oh Jeffy boy….
Please go away, no one likes you.

I hate “subscriptions”. If I can’t buy it (or have a lifetime license like on steam), I won’t pay for it. Monthly hands in my pocket are loathsome.

They won’t get a dime of my money just like music streaming hasn’t gotten a dime of my money! Long live physical media and hardware

Why would Microsoft, or Apple choose streaming over new unit sales? Its literally their bread and butter.
Why on earth would Valve be considered the “only ones” providing personal computers? Theyve released exactly one personal computer so far, and you cant upgrade it. The “Steam pc” hasnt even had it’s price announced yet, and Steam was a big contributor to the whole “Not owning your games” thing that snowballed into “Streaming only”.

Not happening for me, he can shove his cloud gaming up his ass.

I don’t think people should pay attention to what he’s saying.
He’s a businessman trying to promote his company. If you asked the Oreos CEO what the future of cookies looked like, do you think he’d say “No, actually, Oreos won’t be around for that long”? No, he’d tell you Oreos are the best cookies ever and you’d only ever need them.
Of course he’s gonna say “hey one day you’re gonna NEED my service that I’m trying to sell you, so you better buy now”>

step 1 is to make it too expensive to buy a computer

No, because someone would still have to be manufacturing consumer chips, and they would only do that if there was a wider market beyond Valve.
Please stop with the corporate worship, Valve is not a church of gaming, it’s a highly profitable business.

Lol bro is so out of the loop, google already tried it and it failed. Cloud gaming has already proven to not match the experience of local hardware.

People should act like this is a threat more often tbh.

Im honestly of two minds on this concept. Its a nice thought that we could potentially see something like the dawn AAAA games that no computer could meaningfully play locally be a thing. (Looking at you max spec starfield). However if the concept of cloud gaming becomes so mainstream we may see more and more games go cloud only. Then all of a sudden the gaming world goes the way of television and everything is on a sub and quality is all over the place because companies want cheap repeatable income machines.

Gamers: ‘yah, I need 120fps or it’s unplayable.”
Also gamers: “in the future I’ll play games with 500ms delay because the datacentre hosting my gameplay will be on the other side of the continent 🥰.”

That would be a very dark future
