Steam dad Gabe Newell talks about his own gaming PC

has once more Gabe Newell attracted a lot of media attention. However, the Steam dad does not have the Half Life series or the Xbox Game Pass, but about his gaming PC. Specifically, he did this during the 40th Golden Joystick Awards done, an awards event for video games. It was at this event that he received Steamdeck the award for the best gaming hardware. Accordingly, Newell was personally present at the ceremony with a video message. He not only used the opportunity to represent himself valves thank you for the award, but rather list the hardware of his PC roughly:

“So, my PC has an AMD CPU built in, an Nvidia GPU built in, the PC itself is Falcon Northwest, I have a Crosair mouse, a Logitech keyboard, a Samsung monitor… And it’s that interoperability , this compatibility, this openness, which makes products like the Steam Deck possible.” Newell had already raved about the openness of the system and its advantages shortly after the announcement of the handheld. At the time he described it to IGN as “super power” of PC systems.

Newell and the community

Following this enumeration of numerous hardware manufacturers and components, Newell referenced a speech that the director of Final Fantasy 14, Naoki Yoshida, had held in the previous year. Both Yoshida and Newell emphasize the importance of their own community. According to Newell, this is what makes a project like Steam Deck possible in the first place. The handheld was launched at the end of February and compared to the Nintendo Switch really splurge when it comes to hardware.
