Hey Leo, maybe I wasn't 100% accurate. Comparing games in Steam vs. Origin, I get the idea, but console gaming has moved into a whole new level already and they are the ones that are (relatively) more power-hungry in my assessment. The fact that console games have started diverging from PC games, and even when there is a PC version, the big title games are primarily being developed for consoles and then being (kind of) ported to PCs, was my point in evaluating SteamOS. In a world where 2 consoles will single-mindedly focus on driving hardware power and distribution plays with big studios, I am still thinking that Steam might end up representing primarily the distribution channel for indies to get into console business.

Isn't steam great for mostly indie games, which doesn't really need cutting-edge, power-hungry hardware to render (let alone 4K) ?
