desu, they're actually in the middle of re-inventing a whole lot of stuff.

Infact in steam beta, they even have motion control capabilities for my switch pro controller.
If they work more on these APIs they can then allow for motion control games that are outside of VR games which is something no PC game store actually has.

You always hear about valve 'working' on things.

Again, this guy has the sex offender "look".

Is that an admission that the EGS is spyware meant to steal your data?

>motion controls

Is this 2012? Is Valve really so out of touch that they are funding 2 dead fads at once?

Imagine being in the games industry and using the trojan horse that is the Unreal Engine series.

Yeah fuck vale doing nothing

Good news, Epic Game is made Unreal Engine the Platform for gaming.

If Valve Want compete need build new Game engine given as Unreal engine terms and build some big game with it .... Like Half Life 3.

You can tell Epic is failing and scrambling by how much money they’re pumping into journalists right now.

Valve has always been low-key, high impact mentality.

Wow, it's almost as if people want Valve to focus exclusively on game development instead of useless shit that nobody ever wanted. Who would have thought?

insects are pointless bloat

Too many companies spent a ton of money on it, so they gotta keep pumping money to keep it on life support.

>high impact
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Valve's low-key strategy is literally what's killing them off right now. They're arrogant cunts who think that they're too good for marketing. They believe they're so perfect that drones are willing to advertise for them. They actually believe that "word of mouth" is an actual marketing strategy these days.

Reality will hit Valve soon enough, and that reality will smash Valve's puny testicles with a sledgehammer, because that's the only way to tell Valve that their business model is irrelevant. They will need to bribe journalists if they want to stay alive.

because they aren't taking a 30% cut because they don't have to in order to pay for support and discussion forums and cloud saves and screenshot upload diskspace because they don't exist.

You know that if Valve were to completely drop and cancel their hardware retardation, cancelled Artifact for real, and refocused almost exclusively on the Half-Life series at the expense of Dota 2, Valve would get their good will back.

Dota 2 is well liked by a very large number of people. If/when Half-Life 3 comes out it's almost certainly not going to be good, and it definitely will not live up to expectations. I mean HL2 itself isn't really that good anyway, and the respect it has comes from nostalgia more than anything.

I know that investments that don't make return enough profits will bankrupt a company in the long run. Epic really loves betting all their money that these games they moneyhat will succeed, but time and time again these exact games have flopped. Anyone with even the slightest business sense can see that what they're doing is not sustainable, and the only reason they'd be able to get away with it for an extended period of time is if their Tencent overlords give them the money to keep doing it, and it's a coin toss to see how long they want to keep that shit up.

Yet steam takes up less space than Epic.

Attached: pepe pomp.png (492x475, 24K)

They don't invest in video games. They invest in a comapny that has a realiable way of generating profits. The how is secondary at best, the profits are the most important part and how to expand the company to make even more profit. That's how you end up with comapnies going public and getting shareholders who have no idea what they're on about exepct that the company has to somehow make more money.

Physical releases are pretty much the main negative, but even when you look at physical releases on consoles they're basically glorified digital releases that require you to have a disk in the tray, and it's been like this for a long time.

i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about valve. u wouldnt say this shit to them at an Artifact event, they're doing amazing. not only that but they have the freshest RNG-free game system, chillest monetization model and hottest current player count growth. yall are pathetic lol

Steam and digital distribution is cancer
PC gaming was fine without Steam, in fact it was better because we got actual PC games, now we have console ports and indie trash
That's on consoles, when it requires a download the blame goes to digital distribution since that is what allows that and download codes in a box on PC, Valve popularized that. Your saying we should eat Valve's shit because they ruined gaming and made it so there isn't a legal alternative to putting up with their anti consumer practices.
Don't ignore all the negatives that come with digital distribution which is why they tried as hard as possible to get rid of physical copies and pushed Steam and digital distribution.

PC was largely fucking dead because everyone considered it a dead-end platform filled with pirates. It took Steam gaining dominance for publishers to come back. No matter how much you want to bitch about it the 90s were never going to come back. It's also funny given that Epic themselves abandoned the PC in the mid-to-late 2000s, claiming all PC players were pirates

This. Google and Facebook are awful companies and wanting to be like them is not a good sign.

Updates have existed since long before Steam, and updates ARE a good thing. Companies abusing them suck.
