It's over?!

 

[Van]

Welp that was fast

 

[XANDER CAGE]

That's gotta be a record for shortest conference ever.

 

[- J - D -]

Well, that was underwhelming, even from just a hardware perspective. Hey look, black boxes.

 

[Ricerocket]

Lmao... that was it.

 

[Pacbois]

Any pictures of the materiel.net Steam Machine?

 

[Animefreek]

Quality press conference, Gabe.

 

[Barryman]

What is the exact quote RE: the user base thing? Is he talking about total users with Steam? If so, maybe he'd be better served to compare his number with Sony's combined PS2 and PS3 sales...

 

[sirseanconnery]

All the HL3 people jsut died.

 

[Tom Brohanks]

Well that was a let down

 

[AJLma]

Valve is really taking it slow, lol.

I guess it's time to cool down on the SteamOS hype, and to quit waiting for the Steam controller. It's gonna be a while.

 

[Dennis]

 

[Mrbob]

Hahaha 7 minutes long, awesome.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Valve has really streamlined the process of disappointment.

 

[PG2G]

Wow... that was not worth a conference

 

[a secret-boss]

damn guys. so them HALF LIFE 3 them BOXES.

I blink and missed it LOL

 

[ChiliManiac]

Someone needs to make a gif after Obama killed Osama only put Gabens face on it. You would get major kudos from me.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

A minute for every year of HL3's development.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

That Alienware one looks awesome, I hope there are more pictures of it.

 

[enzo_gt]

It's disappointing not that it's short, but it's pretty much entirely hardware focused.

 

[Stitch]

No, it can't be over.

Ricochet 2

right?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Well. That was exciting.

 

[RumblingRosco]

All the HL3 people jsut died.

I'm impressed that any HL3 people are still alive.

 

[txag2005]

lol that's hilarious

7 minutes

 

[SeventhSon]

The Seven Minute Conference?

HL3 Confirmed

 

[Piercedveil]

That was fast. I also feel like I learned pretty much nothing lol.

 

[Kryptonite]

I thought it would start late so I went to brush my teeth. When I came back ... it was already over ;_;

 

[Syphon Filter]

Steam Database ‏@SteamDB 3m
Valve will be selling Steam Controllers separately, and others will sell their own ( ) Steam Controllers as well.


cool so maybe others will release a more traditional steam controller.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

7 minutes must be a new record for presentations lol.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Whoa, I tuned in ten minutes late from the Sony Presser and people are saying it's already done?? Hahahaha, what even happened?

 

[KojiKnight]

Sorry, I blinked and missed the whole thing. Gabe is too busy growing that fantastic beard to be burdened with Press Conferences.

 

[Emerson]

Wow...why did they even bother doing a keynote?

Did Valve ever advertise this as a keynote?

Somehow I doubt it. This isn't E3. That's why there weren't video streams. It's a press briefing focused on steam boxes. The meat of the event is the journalists talking to the hardware manufacturers, and the info that comes out of that.

Not sure what people expected.

 

[Nzyme32]

Steam Dev days next week. But lots to see from each OEM. They have the details

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

What is the exact quote RE: the user base thing? Is he talking about total users with Steam? If so, maybe he'd be better served to compare his number with Sony's combined PS2 and PS3 sales...

Monthly Active Users. Total accounts is a lot more.

 

[mr2xxx]

 

[Sentenza]

That's gotta be a record for shortest conference ever.

And they didn't make a single new reveal or statement either, apparently.
If the live blog reported everything he barely made a generic intro/recap of what was known for months. Which isn't much.

 

[Syf]

The Seven Minute Conference?

HL3 Confirmed

7 minute conference reference to the 7 hour war! It has to be!

I expected at least 10 minutes...

 

[Laieon]

Whoa, I tuned in ten minutes late from the Sony Presser and people are saying it's already done?? Hahahaha, what even happened?

They took a sheet off of a table and revealed some black and white boxes of varying sizes.

 

[alexandros]

We finally found the one thing Valve does fast.

 

[A Serious Man]

It wasn't really a press conference, but an introduction. The meat of the info will come from the hardware vendor interviews. Hopefully we'll get a lot of spec and price point details.

 

[sflufan]

I wonder what killed Steam. No software-related announcements at all.

Steam is being DDOS'd again tonight.

 

[a secret-boss]

this wat happens with no Boss in a company

 

[phrizek]

Gigabyte looks like something from their Brix line. The Alienware one looks surprisingly good.

I've simply called it an event. Harldy anyone got the invite, but we'll need to see how active the guys who went are at talking to the OEMs.

Also multi-steam controllers. Interesting

 

[krypt0nian]

Gabe could have stayed home.

 

[DarkFlow]

These boxes are ugly imo.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

7 minutes minus DOTA 2 minus HL 2 = 3. You know what that means....

 

[outunderthestars]

I expected at least 10 minutes...

Thats what she said?

Noo, don't my friend is trying to apply for a Job with them today. lol
