Valve in the 90 's of the last century, the company was founded by two Microsoft employees before. Now, this company has developed into a major video game developer, is responsible for the maintenance of Steam gaming platform. Valve company's most successful product is Steam gaming platform, Steam game platform PC and Mac with more than 1400 games, 30 million active users. The working model and Apple's iOS App Store like, users buy games will get updates automatically and can be used in other computer downloads and unauthorized use.
After several months the Valve will provide support for Mac players on the Steam game platform after the rumors, in early 2010, Valve has finally announced that it will for the Mac platform first introduced in a series of games, including half life 2, the road to survival such as 2 and Team Fortress 2. Meanwhile, Valve Corporation also announced that it will offer Apple Mac and Microsoft Windows released two major computer platform games of the Portal 2.
Just a few years ago, Apple also does not value the gaming platform of choice and game development. In 2007 alone, Steam platform of United founder Gabe Newell has publicly said: Apple does not understand the importance of game development for its future development.
However, in 2007, Apple released the iPhone, iPod Touch, particularly in 2008 and released their own app store. After that, the Apple before the indifferent attitude of game development has undergone tremendous change.
Because of the significant achievements of Apple's iOS platform game, Apple Mac platform game also began to pay attention to it, game software sales software began to occupy most of the Apple App Store. Apple later released the game Center, final iOS platform or even threaten Sony and Nintendo Games.
There is no doubt that Apple is expected to further cooperation with the Valve, however, what level of cooperation was the focus of attention. However, if just the Valve development models suited to gaming on the Mac platform, this seems to be without Tim CooK personally. But considering the recent actions by the Valve, first denying will enter the field of hardware to develop a new game host and then after Google announced its Project Glass, Valve cover out wind said it will develop a smart game allows users to wear, so the industry speculation, Apple is expected to work with Valve to develop new hardware, with the Valve research and development equipment to compete with Google's Project Glass, Or this product uses further expanded, developed a move on the future of Apple TV is also unknown.
With the steady development of gaming applications, Apple also contains enormous potential in the game market. Apple already has a sophisticated gaming hardware, currently the biggest obstacle is to find the hardware game. Therefore, in this sense, Tim Cook's visit to Valve headquarters, for Apple hardware in the future games will bring new opportunities to the development of the market.
