Don't mistake the Steam Controller for a PC controller. Even though its main function is to play PC games, Valve's new gamepad communicates with Steam, and only Steam. This is not a general controller for your PC, Android or iOS devices, and it's certainly not compatible with any console on the market today, unless you count the handheld Steam Deck. In order to play a game with the Steam Controller, you have to boot it up through Steam. (More on this later).
Valve's end goal for the Steam Controller is compatibility with the Steam Machine, a console that doesn't yet have a public release date or price point.

In addition, Winfrey will create specials based on her Oprah's Favorite Things and Oprah's Book Club franchises for Amazon. The company is also licensing all 25 seasons of The Oprah Winfrey Show but Winfrey and Amazon haven't figured out exactly how to repurpose the long-running talk show as yet.
Last year, Amazon split its Wondery podcast company in two, with a team focusing on narrative podcasts merging with Amazon's Audible team and a crew that handles celebrity-hosted shows forming a new division called Creator Services.
