Watch Dogs - The Fallout

I've been watching the 'Watch Dogs'

debacle recently with regards to the modding. In a nutshell, UbiSoft has crippled the Windows version, deliberately. IMO, This is done to keep parity across all consoles. The user response has been typical. Since I've always been a pc user (Windows/Linux), I've
never really paid attention to the politics concerning the consoles especially with the 'Certification' of games. With the news of 'Watch Dogs' preset, people are crying foul and calling certification a blackmail scheme.

How do you think the future steam box will change the climate for developers? I was thinking with SteamOS being open source and 'boxes' being manufactured by a myriad of companies that valve will have to loosen up on certification.
