minus-squareferret@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 months agoOne of these manufacturers needs to partner with valve to get native steamOS on it or make an announcement saying valve said no.
minus-squareyuri@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoValve probably hit em with a pretty high price for licensing. Not high enough to be entirely unreasonable, but I reckon they know they have the best OS by far.
minus-squarehelenslunch@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoThe fact that Valve STILL hasn’t released an official SteamOS version leads me to believe they are the limiting factor here. But who knows, really? It’s very weird to me that they came out of the gate with other OEMs with Steam Machines but now they want to keep it all in-house. That being said there are several functionally-identical OSs they could choose from and partner with.
