@PupilsDilated They definitely have a deal; SteamOS is even using the same streaming tech used by Nvidia Shield; Nvidia had even posted on their blog that they are working with Valve :D

Also all of those GPUs are 100% compatible with Shield which will lead to a more widespread acceptance of it.

@tom2750 PC exclusives can't be listed; but if someone made a list it would look like that:

And that is just for ONE YEAR.

I know that a lot is always made out by platform holders Sony/MS/Nintendo about their exclusives; but as the PC does not have any platform holder (MS abandoned it long ago); there is no one who goes around shouting "THESE ARE THE PC EXCLUSIVES MUHAHAHAHA" :P

@Wolfandstein @jonmar No lol Titan is at 260W without overclocking; 300W or so if you overclock.

670s/770s are around 170-200W; the haswell CPUs are round 70W so 450W would be cutting it a bit close with the Titan setup, but not imposssible!

@TenraiSenshi @shruteshkumar Yes yes, not point in buying one if you already have a PC

This is basically for the ones who are either planning to build new PCs or planning to get into PC gaming for the first time.

Personally I wouldn't mind a $100 box that just acts as a receiver for streamed games from my desktop.

Also notice the 100% compatibility of all those cards with Nvidia shield??

@sahandx360 PC has entire genres exclusive to it lol; PC only games are just not advertised everywhere as exclusives ;)

Consoles have a lot of great exclusives, but to a PC gamer on a budget it does not make any sense to buy a console just to play those 3-4 games you wanna play :)

@TenraiSenshi Am sure it will cost less than building one yourself, especially the steam branded ones; Valve has gone for exclusivity with Nvidia & Intel am sure the components will be bought at a lower than market cost.

Just like the Nexus for Android ;)

@GSGuy321 And honestly, even a million pirates is a drop in the ocean for a platform that has over a billion users.

Game publishers and sales tracking sites tend to very conveniently ignore digital sales all together which forms a massive part of the PC gaming space.

At last count steam has 55 million ACTIVE users, with more than 3 million active at any given instant; I doubt that even the 360/PS3 have those many operating consoles left now after accounting for hardware failures & burnouts!

Excellent!

Lolz Bioshock Infinite with a M&KB, using only a PISTOL for most of the game;

Headshot, Headshot, Headshot, Headshot, Headshot, Headshot, Headshot, Headshot, Headshot, Headshot, ..

Game is already over? Awww :(

Point is that many games are DESIGNED with the controller in mind (does not apply to Titanfall coz its MP ofc); enemies move slower, stand still for longer amounts of time, do not strafe around and attack from the back, etc.. all in order for people using controllers to line up their shots.

When one of these games is played with a KB&M, it becomes ridiculously easy irrespective of the 'difficulty' level.

@PaulSabian Infrared mice now, with DPI adjustments on the fly and extra buttons for reload and throw grenade ;)
