Well first of all, we know that the final Steam component is a controller. The Piston announcement is cagey and confusing. My takeaway is:
The Piston may run the SteamOS on something else – which may be because something runnable as “virtual steam” is in the brew. Or they’re confused.
Steam has pretty much fired a warning shot across the bow of console makers, followed by grapeshot and a series of cannonballs. Any computer is now a console. They don’t have to be on top they just have to keep everyone else nervous and I’m sure they have.
Story short, work in gaming? Pay attention to Steam.

- Tons of job openings are here however.
