Is there a reason valve calls all their products “steam something” as opposed to “valve something” ?
Valve is the company, it let’s out steam
Probably more brand recognition with Steam than Valve, I assume.
A Valve is a mechanism used to regulate and control the release of Steam?
There was the Valve Index
I would guess it’s to indicate heavy association with the Steam client/service. Valve could make other products (I know they’re working on human brain interface stuff), but if it’s called “Steam…” you can easily identify it’s in the gaming line for use with Steam.
