TOOT BOOT posted:I imagine this will provide a bit of a boost to PC Gaming as soon as these start filtering down into pre-built PCs. (It was also probably inevitable, since with the AMD buyout, Intel was basically at NVIDIA's mercy.) It's also going to really help the browser game market out, since they can be more confident that people will have at least tolerable graphics capability. Nothing too overwhelming, and they wouldn't want that anyway because of costs, but enough to get the job done. TOOT BOOT posted:I'm actually worried a little by the trend that computers are 'fast enough' for most people. The big exception for consumer use was, and is, computer games. And, yes, they are completely locked down by the current extended hardware generation, though I suspect that will resolve itself when/if Move and Kinect fail to recapture the Wii's success. I suspect they're going to need to move ahead sooner than they'd like. Gaben's little network does helps by providing an excellent distribution avenue for computer games that aren't simple console ports, but it's still early days for Steam. I don't think Steam will really hit critical mass until Microsoft gives up GFW for good and gets in bed with Valve like everybody else. In the meantime, what people have is generally what they need.
