Gabe Newell: "I think Windows 8 is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space." | PC Gamer
That guy is a business minded entrepreneur who knows Microsoft's own game distribution service GFWL and likenesses like Xbox Live will reduce attention towards Steam. It's obvious because he didn't state a particular reason why he hated it. That's why he is apprehended and is depending on Linux to sustain Steam.
He also said something about "PS3's gonna fail....dont buy it" crap. Guess we all know he was wrong. It would be silly to take his comments so seriously.
And btw, my comments on Win8: It's great. I'm sick of the same old windows and needed something new. It's just a beginning of a new phase and there's a little bit of learning to do to get used to the gestures. Also I saw a performance improvement over Win7. Definitely gonna upgrade.
