What's up, everybody? Welcome to IGN Games. I'm your host, Damon Hatfield. This is Greg

Miller, Justin Davis, and Charles Anya, it's here. So Valve is confirmed they're jumping

into hardware development. We've been hearing rumors about this for months now since I think

March of this year. The Steam Box. We've heard about the Steam Box. That's what it is, right,

Charles? They've confirmed it? No, that has not been confirmed. So they actually didn't

what they they're hiring. They're hiring a position and that's how some of this leaked

out. And it's for hardware. They have not actually confirmed that they're making a console

correct. They're just making some sort of hardware. What's that does it say? Do you have

the exact quote there? Which on their job listing? Yeah. So they're looking for an industrial

designer says the job listing. It could be you. It could be. The job listing says we're frustrated

by the lack of innovation in the computer hardware space. So we're jumping in. There's

a real void in the marketplace. They said even basic input, the keyboard and mouse haven't

really changed in any meaningful way over the years. So there's a real void in the marketplace

and opportunities to create compelling user experiences are being overlooked. Yeah, so

I mean, I don't think Valve is building any kind of Steam Box or console equivalent.

But it sounds like what they're struggling with is something that a lot of Nintendo has

been struggling with for a while, which is trying to figure out a different way for people

to interact with video games. And it's just it's strictly the interface. It sounds like

based on the job listings and based on what Valve has said in the past about wearable computing

is really what they're interested in is changing up that relationship between how you control

things in game and what you're actually doing. And moving beyond basically a controller

or a mouse and keyboard or a we-mote or whatever you want to associate with that.
