As we evolve in time, and versions of Microsoft Operating System also evolve, arise new features, new libraries, new development packages. Finally each new version innovations have come to be assimilated by the gaming industry in order to extract the best of those OSs can offer.
However, it is a question that is not always synonymous with simplicity or harmony of views and the largest example is a recent interview with Gabe Newell, co-founder of Valve about the game and Windows 8.
During his interview, Gabe said that Valve is currently focused on developments for Linux and referred to Windows 8 as a "catastrophe" that will make many programmers and Project teams drop their developments for the Microsoft OS. Referring more specifically to the potential touch Windows 8 as well as the long, complex webs of distribution of PC video games, Newell began so what may be the abandonment of Valve to PCs personally do not believe the leaving, but I bet their sights will be increasingly pointed to Linux.
However, and also pointing in another direction, Newell said that the only problem that is delaying the evolution of Linux are even games, because from the moment that the supply will match the existing to the Windows OS then the boom will massif.
“The big problem that is holding back Linux is games. People don’t realize how critical games are in driving consumer purchasing behavior,” afirmou Newell. “We want to make it as easy as possible for the 2,500 games on Steam to run on Linux as well. It’s a hedging strategy. I think Windows 8 is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space. I think we’ll lose some of the top-tier PC/OEMs, who will exit the market. I think margins will be destroyed for a bunch of people. If that’s true, then it will be good to have alternatives to hedge against that eventuality.”
Among other statements Gabe 8 indicates that Windows and your system will touch a predictably short and successful person that tells more about the interaction style Kinect.
“We think touch is short-term,” afirmou Newell. “The mouse and keyboard were stable for 25 years, but I think touch will be stable for 10 years. Post-touch will be stable for a really long time, longer than 25 years. There’s some crazy speculative stuff. I do think we will have bands on our wrists, and you’ll be doing something with your hands, which are really expressive.”
However, and as is well known to the public Windows 8 will bring a system of buying games online not only for Windows but also for the Xbox 360, which in itself brings a competitor to ... Valve's Steam service.
Launched the controversy is that each one interprets it as you wish. Either way, it is expected a strong focus on the Linux system from Valve which in itself is an asset for its increasingly, fans and users.
Also Rob Pardo, Executive Vice President of Game Design at Blizzard, approached the claims and Gabe Newell announced via Twitter that considers the Windows Operating System as eight non-grateful, as can be read in his words "not Either Blizzard is awesome . "
You launched the controversy and let's see what the final verdict. The question is who will gain in the end ... for the sake of all that is the World of Video Games and consumers ... but we'll see!
