Valve Addresses Steam Machine Delisting

We recently reported on major game distributor Steam's delisting of the unpopular hardware project, the Steam Machine. Valve coder Pierre-Loup Griffais has released a statement explaining the reason for the delisting.

"While it's true Steam Machines aren't exactly flying off the shelves, our reasons for striving toward a competitive and open gaming platform haven't significantly changed. We're still working hard on making Linux operating systems a great place for gaming and applications. We think it will ultimately result in a better experience for developers and customers alike, including those not on Steam."

Griffais explains that the delisting was merely the result of some cleanup, and wasn't intended as any kind of action toward the product line. He states that the company has been investing significant resources toward Vulcan, SteamOS, and the Linux ecosystem at large.

While this is good news for anyone with faith in the Steam Machine program, the statement merely addresses the delisting. The issues that hindered the Steam Machine's success are still at large.

Personally, I'll still keep to my normal PC.
