Microsoft confirmed today that it has hired Jason Holtman to help lead its PC gaming efforts. Holtman left Valve in February for unknown reasons. As Neowin reported, he was known in that role for his work on Steam, the exceedingly popular PC game sale and delivery platform.Microsoft has a similar effort, Games for Windows, that is generally regarded as lesser than Steam by gamers. By hiring Holtman Microsoft could be signaling that it isn't willing to allow Steam and its corporate parent Valve hegemony over the PC gaming market. That would make sense, as the PC gaming market is heavily concentrated on the Windows platform, which is Microsoft territory.
