The Alpha R1 didn't, I wasn't aware they made a second one until you mentioned it.

That article literally mentioned nothing about exploring relations with EGS or Steam. It simply says he's open to the idea of 3rd party stores on the Xbox console.

Which is something you would have told us this time last year, would never happen, being they wouldn't want to impede on their own store. But apparently, it's happening.

Lesson? Never say never, about anything in this business. I lost thousands of karma on reddit in my predictions that ended up absolutely correct, and this will be another.

Nothing in that article even hints at talks happening or the other stores being interested.

Like, are we reading the same article? After all an article that was spammed for almost a year was apparently never read past the headline until recently.

You're talking about an altogether different matter, in Xbox wanting to "buy" Steam. This latest interview, was about partnerships.

And don't be coming into my Arma 3 Sog dlc on my Xbox. I'm tight with those fellas, and we'll just have to frag your hooch lol.

And why not? They're gonna make a fortune. Newell with his Steam Deck and partnership with Nvidia, and to partner with Xbox? How is he losing anything, but making millions.

You understand Nvidia is a hardware manufacturer right? They don't make games or anything. GFN is literally just a giant server farm they built.

Microsoft has had 2 years to make GamePass work smoothly with the Deck. They've refused to as well as refused to allow Gamepass through Steam.

It's all on Microsoft.

It was about envisioning having 3rd party stores on the Xbox system.

That's literally as far as it's gotten.

Well the Nvidia matter a joke. We were just talking about a for instance, if the article was right. Nvidia, creating the next Xbox machine, would certainly be PC centric, and with their partnership with Steam, as well as Xbox, would be a dream come true.

That being said, we're now just back to Mr Spencer opened to dealing with the third party stores, like Epic and Steam, which is fact as to what he said based on the interview.

Now that it's not a Microsoft product, I have no reason to not buy the next xbox.

That it's going to have 2 GPU's and support AI is really interesting. I will get it just for the promise of AI powered games.

If this is true, my dreams may have been answered. This has to be a joke.

It is.[investorplace.com]

Also, Nvidia owning the Xbox brand wouldn't do anything involving GFN or Steam.

Nvidia makes GPUs. Their partnership with Steam is just allowing them to access user accounts to play games. The games played are not up to Steam to allow, just the accounts the games are attached to.

Modular console, range of cards, KB&M, non scriptable, Official DLC only... prediction.

Cheating will be piggy backing pins on a chip with an iron and an ATMega you bought from China.

Boo!

[Kamiyama]

The thing is, it would make sense from Nvidia's perspective. Buying the Xbox in order to stuff dual GPU's into each one increases sales of their chips.

Also, AI based stuff would love a dual GPU setup.

It was just believable enough.

Only a matter of time.

The first letters of each paragraph spell out April Fools. But they had to be ♥♥♥♥♥ and publish it on March 31 to be cute.

Joke or not, I hate these fu**ing prank articles. Basically the one day out of the year when everything you read you have to assume is complete garbage.

SteamOS wasn't a console OS. It was a LinuxOS. The amount of games that SteamOS 'has' depends on the user's library and proton compatibility. More the library since Proton works with almost everything.

Linux is a kernel, not an OS. There are two mains stacks of abstractions that use the Linux kernel: the Android stack and the GNU stack.

While many GNU distributions receive names like Arch Linux and Linux Mint, that naming is just marketing. If you want different versions of Linux, one should head to kernel.org .

SteamOS is a distribution of GNU, based on the GNU distro named Arch Linux.

As long as you're worried about naming things correctly, you should say its a GNU distro, or GNU/Linux distro.

Linux is an OS. The variations are called distros.
