Valve's Gabe Newell Teases Console-Related Plans For Steam Games

Gabe Newell, the co-founder and president of Valve, has hinted that the company could bring Steam games to consoles during a recent question and answer session. TechRadar reports: The session took place at Sancta Maria College in Auckland, New Zealand, and a student's question and Newell's answer were recorded and uploaded to Reddit by user Odysseic (via VGC). When asked 'will Steam be porting any games to console, or will it just stay on PC?', Newell somewhat hesitantly replies 'You will get a better idea of that by the end of this year,' adding, 'and it won't be the answer you expect. You'll say, 'Ah-ha! Now I get what he was talking about.'' Newell's comments are, of course, pretty vague and have caused a great deal of speculation. The most common interpretation of his words is that Valve could be planning to bring its own games, currently available on Steam, to consoles in the future. Valve games have previously been ported to consoles so this is perfectly possible.
