Valve would let Electronic Arts put the Origin store on SteamOS and Steam Machines

Valve is so committed to keeping its platforms open that it would let direct competition use its new operating system … or maybe it’s just not afraid of Electronic Arts.

Valve boss Gabe Newell told fans that the company’s upcoming console-like Steam Machine gaming PCs are completely open. How open? Well, he would let EA put its Origin digital-distribution platform on SteamOS if it wanted.
