Valve made multiple hardware announcements, including a new “Steam Frame” design, signalling that the PC/gaming hardware space is still active and evolving.
For IT and software developers, this suggests a couple of things: one, the hardware frontier (especially in gaming/VR/PC) continues to advance, so software targeting high-end systems will benefit; two, platforms and form-factors are shifting (e.g., dedicated gaming hardware rather than just generic PCs). If you ever branch into e-commerce or client-projects for game-developers or hardware vendors, staying aware of such launches helps.
