With PC sales plunging 20% and Windows 8 considered a failure, I don't think PC is where the money is headed. Valve itself is making a set-top box because they see the writing on the wall.

That global warming is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until your tootsies are completely soaked.
