Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:loving lmbo at that article and all you chumps talking poo poo about valve being scummy. they are the reason there are still pc games, and even console players can thank them for getting games on sale regularly Personally, I'm not mad that Valve isn't really making games anymore. I'm just disappointed. But who knows? Maybe V.R. takes off and we'll look back on these last few years as Valve transitioning to a new phase of game creation. I'm really tempted to get a Vive, but I know my wife will expect me to share it with the kids. ![]()

Valve is cool for what Valve is doing. Gaming is free time to waste, and if people enjoy playing hat simulators or PUBG matches on it, good for them. I Oh wait, I just remembered another gaming client. The dudes who published Sins of a Solar Empire & make the Galactic Civilization series of games also had a online gaming client. It was originally called drengin.net (with offline mode, gamesave backups, and torrent-style game downloading), then drengin.net got renamed & relaunched as Impulse with everything unique about it removed, then Gamestop,(i think,) bought the entire thing just before EA launched Origin as their service.

They had to be dragged kicked and screaming through the courts just to get them to operate within the boundaries of Australian laws, drew up an entirely new EULA just for EU customers in order to prevent them from exercising their legal right to refunds, and also slashed the amount of money modders see from their cosmetics items in DOTA 2 while the game's revenue keeps growing.

i read some of that opinion piece when it came out months ago, but stopped because of his overuse of the phrase "good guy valve" and its stupid length some things valve does is lovely, but they have been a net positive for video games

The valve complaining seems to have hit this thread after the half life 3 or 2.5 or whatever the gently caress plot got leaked a few days ago. I think that explains the angst.

NUKES CURE NORKS posted:The valve complaining seems to have hit this thread after the half life 3 or 2.5 or whatever the gently caress plot got leaked a few days ago. None of this is really new. Valve's support system has up until very recently been a completely embarrassing shitshow for such a rich company. They need some bad press every once in a while to get around to improving their service, I guess.

I put in like 8 hours of it last night, it's pretty loving addicting because you can do 9 holes in like 20-25 mins. I got from level 1 to level 8 last night and am working through the second set of versus bosses. It's pretty good.

Doees valve even have the talent in the company to actually make video games? They created source 2 but the only video game that uses it is dota. Part of what made HL and HL 2 so good was their engine and the other video games that engine spawned. It would be funny if unreal launched their own digital distribution and required games that use their engine to be distributed through them digitally.
