Mike Ybarra also stated that Valve should make SteamOS available to other hardware manufacturers.
Former Xbox top manager and ex-president of Blizzard, Mike Ybarra, has publicly appealed to Valve to open up its SteamOS operating system for use by third-party companies on any hardware.
Dear Valve Software, please just allow third parties to use SteamOS and release devices with a wide variety of configurations. SteamOS will take off, and your store's revenue will only increase.
In his opinion, such a move would be a real salvation for Xbox as well: instead of continuing to promote Windows with "AI, Copilot, Teams, and more," Microsoft could release its consoles and devices based on SteamOS and significantly strengthen its position in the market.
