Meanwhile, a Windows 8.1 tablet can actually run Steam and a number of the games on the store.
I don't know what Valve has planned for the future, but right now ARM based devices do not seem to be getting the attention they need.
I know San Andreas support the new external games controllers - has anyone used or seen any screenshots of the new on screen touch controls as these were a pain to use in Vice City and GTA III.
I'd hate to see the size of that download.....
By then, iOS devices will have TB's of memory and storage.
