Valve Corporation, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 1996 and has approximately 1,160 employees. The company specializes in computer games and also makes video games, hosts the Steam video gaming platform, and manufactures gaming peripherals.
Valve informed European Steam hardware customers on September 18, 2026, that a cyberattack on its shipping partner, CEVA Logistics, did not compromise systems processing their orders, retracting an August warning about potential personal data exposure. Earlier the same day, iFixit released official repair guides for the Steam Machine, revealing the complexity of some internal upgrades, particularly RAM. Also on September 18, discussions highlighted the seven-year period since the 2019 launch of the Valve Index, which had significantly impacted virtual reality gaming. Previously, on September 18, Valve's decision to make SteamOS free allowed users to convert mini PCs into dedicated Steam gaming systems, leveraging Arch Linux for optimized performance and platform integration. This followed an unearthed university lecture clip from Valve boss Gabe Newell gaining traction online on September 17, where he examined what he called a significant mistake game developers make: treating "genuinely entertaining" player actions as hacking.
