Support NeoGAF

[alr1ght]

HL3 on iPad exclusively.

 

[injurai]

Dota 2 on ipad.

Everyone will talk about their awesome TPM... Taps per minute.

 

[Metalmurphy]

GAF = OMG Steam/HL3 on ipad 3!
Reality = Apple looking for hints, nothing big happening from it.

 

[JaseC]

The only rational explanation is that he's inquiring as to the whereabouts of today's CS:GO patch.

 

[i-Lo]

iBoxedSteam?

 

[GrizzNKev]

I now fear for the future of our lord Gaben.

 

[Dartastic]

...whoa.

 

[kittens]

Dammmnnnn. I hope something awesome comes out of this!

 

[Gully State]

iSteam incoming...

 

[massoluk]

An executive of a company that makes operating system met another computer company executive. News at eleven.

 

[alexandros]

Meanwhile at MS, Sony and Nintendo HQ...

 

[Petrichor]

A collaboration wouldn't make any sense. They're ideological opposites. Gabe is a massive hypocrite if he gets into bed with apple.

 

[obonicus]

Quick, someone check on ClovingSteam.

 

[LiK]

Apple buys Steam, no more PC games.

 

[entremet]

nvm

 

[Maxim726X]

Applebox?

 

[injurai]

Apple buys Steam, no more PC games.

CPR and GoG will just rise in their place. Steam has created a niche that must be filled.

 

[JaseC]

iSteam incoming...

iSteam, uSteam, weallSteam for iSteam.

 

[StriKeVillain]

So many conflicting emotions.

 

[jonno394]

Fixed for you

Meanwhile at MS and Sony HQ...

Meanwhile at NoA HQ

 

[Stallion Free]

"Steam works similar to Apple's iOS App Store within iTunes, providing a market for PC video game titles and a mechanism for automatically delivering the latest software updates to players."

I think they have that backwards. Apple's iOS App Store works similar to Steam.

 

[noah111]

Most of GAF;

But I for one say.....

Spoiler

[CorrisD]

They've met with Apple before as they mention, this is probably nothing more than trying to evolve iOS/OSX with gaming in mind for the future I would imagine.

I really can't see Apple and Valve getting together for anything hardware wise.

 

[mikespit1200]

My crazy theory: Apple putting Steam on their upcoming HDTV.

 

[Alchemy]

Its ok, this is just Valve trying to get shitty gpu drivers on OSX straightened out.

 

[McHuj]

Game over, man. Game over.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

How the West won.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Apple and Valve?

hmmmmmm

 

[entremet]

PC guys should not worry about this one bit. It's the antiquated console companies and their terrible DD initiatives that should be more concerned.

 

[Waku]

Replace Game Center with Steam.

Boom.

 

[Kintaro]

PC guys should not worry about this one bit. It's the antiquated console companies and their terrible DD initiatives that should be more concerned.

I'm not worried. Steam could die tomorrow and three companies would rise in its place.

 

[Empty Space]

Since when is Apple "the devil" or "evil"? Is this just some gaming side meme?

You are the gaming side. A board filled with self avowed PC gamers and people who desperately want handheld consoles to succeed. I have no idea why anybody would consider Apple the devil do you?

There's some really strange stuff going on at Valve these days. Maybe Tim Cook wants to start some kind of gaming initiative for Macs? It can't be a hardware thing Apple doesn't design stuff for other companies and I very much doubt Gaben would sell Valve.

 

[Wario64]

Replace Game Center with Steam.

Boom.

Replace Steam with Game Center

Bomba.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

shouldn't this be in OT?

 

[itsgreen]

This... is not in my comfort zone.

 

[McHuj]

PC guys should not worry about this one bit. It's the antiquated console companies and their terrible DD initiatives that should be more concerned.

I agree.

Maybe Sony and MS should wait until 2014 or 2015 to release a new console, right?

 

[Wyndstryker]

iMegaton announcements incoming?

I wonder what they talked about. If it's anything similar to all the crazy stuff people are thinking then this will lead to some glorious meltdowns.

 

[nowai]

Lord Gaben, please don't turn on your faithful!

Make the Gabecube/Steambox yourself without being tied to the Serpent's fruit of choice.

 

[fluffydelusions]

This.

 

[Sean]

Apple gets payback for Microsoft stealing Halo away from them, makes Half-Life 3 Mac OS X exclusive.

 

[Furoba]

Apple buys steam for a ridiculous price.

I could see that happening. If you're looking to get seriously into the gaming industry, that'd be certainly the way to do it.

 

[Revolutionary]

He just wanted to know why The Witcher runs so badly on his Mac

 

[Lord Error]

Apple already has their app and game store on Mac, not sure how it could be integrated with Steam without one or the other losing their purpose entirely.

One thing's true - Valve is a premier Mac game developer, one of the few, if not only who treats platform as a PC equal.

Its ok, this is just Valve trying to get shitty gpu drivers on OSX straightened out.

We can only hope. Much more performance out of the same hardware if you just run the same game under Windows -_-

 

[Chuckpebble]

gaben and timc, sittin in a tree...

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Its ok, this is just Valve trying to get shitty gpu drivers on OSX straightened out.

don't need to meet with the CEO to do that.

 

[Gowans]

Apple Steambox idea is crazy, steams power is OTs huge library of WINDOWS games. If it did make a steam box it would have to run windows if they wanted their library to work.

 

[Derrick01]

I'm not worried. Steam could die tomorrow and three companies would rise in its place.

3 shit companies most likely.

Brah I haven't bought a videogame in more than a year. I think Apple is awesome, though.

 

[fluffydelusions]

iMegaton announcements incoming?

Probably something to do with Mac gaming I suspect.

 

[Kintaro]

Apple gets payback for Microsoft stealing Halo away from them, makes Half-Life 3 Mac OS X exclusive.

Valve HQ would be set on fire minutes after this announcement.
