Gabe Newell talks about linux as the future of gaming

[Humbug]

Sorry, but All the time i thought that it will be /  Cloud Gaming /  implemented.. And thats why it will be cheap and will not need much power as in GPU. hmm

Valve with their steam subscriber base is in the best position to push cloud gaming, even John Carmack has said that he encourages Gabe to go for it each time they meet.

The problem is that Valve and Gabe don't believe in cloud gaming at all.

They make valid points about latency and networking issues. Also, most ISPs are utter crap for cloud gaming. Gaikai on the PS4 will take some time before it catches on for that very reason. It's also probably why OnLive hasn't been heard of in ages (I heard about it 4-5 years ago, and that was it). 

 

FTTH needs to be available globally. Only then would cloud computing/gaming be viable.
