Recently it was reported that a Valve employee had gone to meet with Tim Cook of Apple. Amongst the rumors were that Apple and Valve were working together on the Apple TV or a new valve console. Valve is not working on a new console as mentioned here, and Gabe Newell says that Valve never met with Tim Cook at all. He’s never even met the man.
We actually, we all sent mail to each other, going, ‘Who’s Tim Cook meeting with? Is he meeting with you? I’m not meeting with Tim Cook.’ So we’re… it’s one of those rumors that was stated so factually that we were actually confused.
No one here was meeting with Tim Cook or with anybody at Apple that day. I wish we were! We have a long list of things we’d love to see Apple do to support games and gaming better. But no, we didn’t meet with Tim Cook. He seems like a smart guy, but I’ve never actually met him.
This was Gabe Newell’s response to the whole Valve/Apple team up rumor which was a part of an an interview with Seven Day Cooldown podcast. While this may seem like a definitive answer, Gabe does seem interested in working with Apple. His response is also a bit shaky but that may be because this was spoken and not written.
