Valve has recently shown an interest in bringing their game distribution service, Steam, to mobile platforms after receiving numerous requests. Doug Lombardi, Valve\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s VP of marketing, recently spoke to MCV and explained that the more requests Valve receives, the more seriously they consider making it happen.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We do feel we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re late on mobile across many of Valve\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s services,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Lombardi\u00c2\u00a0said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It is something we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re starting to look at now. People are starting to ask us for it. The more requests we receive, the more we feel the need to act on them.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Valve\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s director of business development and legal affairs, Jason Holtman, added: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mobile is really interesting. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re making games, you have to be thinking about having a platform in this space. But it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too early to say anything definitive.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
What mobile platforms could Valve be considering? The iPhone would be an easy assumption to make, given its popularity and potential for profit. But will Apple even allow Valve to release a game distribution service that might compete with the App Store? Nothing is definitive at this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
