Valve’s Steam Machines: Gabe Newell’s quest to reinvent PC gaming

The Steam Box started as a glimmer of hope in 2012. Many doubted the software company best known for its hit games and online gaming marketplace Steam would make its own hardware.

But as the delivery date for the first Steam Box slips to 2015, the dream remains deferred. Follow all the news here.
