I still follow every thread, but I have severe time constraints atm. I like the idea very much, I love discovering secrets like that, a little reward for the extra-curious. Don't be discouraged evilkinggumby, keep your great ideas coming!

Lol, I hope that is an Ultra HD screen there. The only way to play GOAT in its full glory.

The whole point is: you don't port to SteamBox. You port to SteamOS. But you can install SteamOS on any system. That's how I understand it and that is the huge difference between the SteamBox and consoles.
