Steam expanding into movies? Indie game: the movie on steam

[Sergesosio]

Indie game: The movie will come to steam on 12 June, which is conveniently placed closely after the E3.

Yes we had trailers before but it's the first full length movie coming to steam.

Valve has a private booth on the E3 and Gabe said himself not so long ago that they will not announce anything new on the E3.
And we all know they did not rent a private booth to talk about Dota and CS:GO which are close to release.
But Valve has been very quite about their [URL="http://www.steampowered.com/steamworks/thebigpicture.php"]10Inch UI[/URL]. It's a UI for christ sakes, it's not going to take that long. Unless it is something more than that.

So valve comming to E3 with movies on steam on the Big picture mode? I can see it happening.

tl;dr Valve expanding into movies with its new steam 10inch ui on E3? who knows.

Maybe they will make a media center thingy?

Like, you can use Steam for games, movies etc. And just have a PC attached to your TV so you can automatically boot into Steam, play games, watch movies, browse web (well yeah, might need to have a slightly better browser.. ) and be awesome?

Well, I don't think they need much resources to pull that out - there's a separate category for videos on Steam (trailers) already, so I guess the bought movies would appear there...

Yeah but Indie Game: The Movie isn't free.

Speaking of which, is anyone going to buy that movie? I would, but I kinda spent my 25 bucks of Christmas money on TF2 keys.

I'd really love for Valve to add game streaming to Steam. That way I could buy a raspberry pi (assuming they ever make an ARM version of Steam) and use that as the means to view/control my game whilst leaving all the computing to my desktop in the other room.

I'm probably going to buy it if I come across the money, I actually want to be an indie dev and this sounds like a cool insight into the world of indie game development.

I wouldn't mind buying movies and even albums on steam as long as I can watch them in offline mode and the quality is good. Having all my stuff in one account sounds great.
