I have never finished Half Life, should I do it?
He hosts a platform that sells games, not the UN security council.
your war is not our problem
Game is like 8 hours if you go slow so may as well.
Gabe is a pretty good guy. I admire him a good bit.
He's worked on some of the most influential games of all time, and created fucking Steam. I wouldn't want to be stuck doing sequels forever.
>Bazillion of companies are pressured to leave Russia
>Not the service that provides the most popular pastime of fighting aged men
Vatniks scared shitless they're going to lose Doto and CS
Imagine wanting to unpeople an entire fuckig country because CNN doesn't like putin. Fucking faggot OP
yeah I just downloaded it again, will try to finish it this time
>shut down business to russia
>russian civilians who has nothing to do with the conflict doesnt get access
????
help me understand
I just kinda wish they DID make games again, but Gaben seems content with using the resources for his hardware pet projects.
Do you think they would flock to Chinese Genshin Impact if it was blocked?
The US government is cringe. Hopefully everyone stops obeying it soon.
>Companies should take political action!
>NOOOO WHY IS EVERYTHING POLITICIZED!?!?111
Kill yourself nigger.
i see gabe is based as usual.
trannies are obviously mentally ill males
>nooo you heckarino mustarino dropparino the cuntry (((media))) and (((absolute states of amerishartia))) don't like
>you WILL lose money and you WILL be happy
heh
I mean, he made steam and seems like a genuinely great guy.
He's apparently looking to further VR tech and really innovate further beyond just "usual videogames" stuff.
Power to him man. I'm glad he's actually trying to further videogames as a medium instead of just contributing one more product in an already-bottomless pool of videogames.

>American politics pretending to have moral guardianship over capitalism
No joke has ever been as funny, or as sad, as the idea americans can just cross their arms and stop buying vodka and that'll magically make a war they don't support stop happening.
Not here to say Russia is anything resembling to good guy here, but the hypocrisy of the west continuing to wage their fingers after however many decades of vicious imperialist shenanigans across the globe is about as helpful as, say, telling people not to immediately overthrow the afghan government.
Gabe, Valve and Steam never dirtied their hands with politics. When chimpout was happening, they didn't do shit, now they aren't gonna do shit either. The only "political" thing that they do is that you can pay them to have a sale for alphabet people, but it always has something like "presented by giant faggot".
Hi, Gabe.
>valve introduces LGHDTV+ tag
>just so you can filter it
>there are LGHDTV+ sales happening sometimes
>but those aren't even promoted on the main page of store
We know he is a manipulative person from ex valve employees and we don't even know ehat he actually worked on as he is never credited in any Valve games
He was also an ex microsoft businessman/producer without former game knowledge when he cofounded valve corp
Russia loses another source of tax revenue
They have less money to fund their invasion
>Russians chimping out, raping babies and genociding whites
These neanderthals are really straining my racism based on skin color
Holy basado
Based Gabe.
They banned pro Hong Kong dota players the same way Blizzard did with Heartstone
People just already had a hateboner for Blizz so it became a bigger deal
i figured that much, but the tax revenue from small sales cant possibly enough for military funding.
surely it wont add up that much
To be fair, there is no way to buy steam games without VPN now in Russia.
TV race detected
Go outside, the electric jew is hypnotizing you with absurdities again
>raping babies
This shit is so funny to read, like i've read this 10 times on this weak. Where did this come from? Reminds me of TRUMPS IS RAHCSIST!! while i've never hear a word from him.
I remember those threads in Yea Forums about Libtards, BBClovers, SJWs, Trannies, Blacks and more are seething about Valve/Steam refusing to submit to them. Next several weeks, they just tell others to buy PS5 instead because Sony already submits to them.
it's not going to do anything
it's the impotent flailing of a dying empire
That cuz of SWIFT ban and payment processors getting fucked due to sanctions tho
There's a video of a baby rape and the rapist has been identified as a russian soldier.
Look it up if you don't believe me.
They can buy the steam games with one of the different payment methods.
Not really. You have to go through the hoops of putting funds into Steam Wallet, either by using a service that takes like 20% or using some retarded method involving using Kazakhstan as a middle man.
>the tv told me!
Fuck off you brainless faggot American
>Libtards, BBClovers, SJWs, Trannies, Blacks and more are seething about Valve/Steam refusing to submit to them.
I guess they gave up on fighting against Steam. eh
What does cutting off media from russian citizens do in helping to quell the russian invasion of ukraine?
Do you think to people will overthrow the government because they can't play CS:GO?
What the current rate per post? Is it still 5 rubles?
Anyone in a position of power is called manipulative.
Even if we pretend this is true, Ukraine is one of the largest child trafficking hubs in the world.
So it's selective outrage at best, and most likely just western outrage porn/propaganda.
Absolutely nothing. Its just mutts who think they rule the world crying that Russia is doomed because they cant indulge in BLACKED porn anymore
nice try ukrainian scum. us native americans are rooting for russians.
...
You aren't even in the correct hemisphere
But they can't buy games on steam at the moment because of the payment processor sactions. And Steam gift cards are banned there.
>Whataboutism
Classic Kreml
At least, there are many ways for them to do it. One of them is very easy, but non-refundability. The key shops.
Unlike, they can't buy a single game on their console (PS5) at all.
angry Russians = systemic change
Good, fuck the russians.
No, Valve are a business oriented PRIVATE company. They don't have to and shouldn't care one bit about global politics.
Destruction of russian economy and thereby ability to wage a modern war.
Yeah that worked out real well in the middle east
Yes nigger, "what about" the zog vassal state trafficking children at record pace that you're currently crying crocodile tears over?
Russian animals have everthing to do with the conflict. Putin has broad support among the average russian savage.
Why can't Ukrainians and Poles stay on /pol/?
>Source - "trust me dude"
You don't want another soviet union, trust me, american.
Russians already boycott Sony products.
>Those stupid mean Russians should be banned from everything because of what their stinky government is doing and they hurt my precious fee-fees :(
The vast majority of people have already forgotten this shit happened. No one cares about Poo-kraine anymore.
You mean that the Russians are now going to become systematically more anti-west?
The same reason Putin can't stay out of Ukraine - severe mental retardation.
How does an American game store temporarily not selling games to russia destroy the russian economy?
Tbh while i think russia are shitheads for invading ukraine a lot of these private company "sanctions" just seem like virtue signalling for the sake of advertisement, a "we do not like thing you do not like so parasocialize us and buy our products".
>Destruction of russian economy
you actually think russian economy is so deeply rooted in american medi athat taking it away will destroy it?
hell, you think american economy is rooted in media as well? Or any country's economy for that matter?
fortnite-addicted zoomies are a gift that keep on giving
>reee globohomo blacked da joooos zog pozzed trannies
Ye ye go back to pol. Russia has fucked up and their soldiers are dying in ditches despite their manly recruitment ads. Hundreds of combat vehicles turned into metal coffins, their flagship is sunk and their helis are dropping.
At least Putin doesn't shit up the piss ocean of Yea Forums and reduces the number of posters.
You don´t rule a country for decades if you don´t have broad support from the population.
>continues doing business with a country despite jews stomping their feet and trannies crying over it
Based.
Not media exclusively but it is part of a broad spectrum approach.
>he thinks that American government pushing on steam and closing it in Russia will make citizens hate and overthrow Putin
>he thinks that sanctioning people that had nothing to do with what Putin started, and that had no say in it at all, will be pushed to overthrow Putin instead of hating people who implemented the sanctions
Stupid fuck
You do realise that the reaction you will get from Russians after steam ban is "oh well, back to pirating I go"?
but it also helps us and we use our taxed income to send weapons to ukraine through poland, net neutral
Someone tell Zelenskyy that everything is fine like this user says, so we can stop hearing that pussy beg for help every 30 seconds.
damn ukraine has bad stuff happen there so clearly the civilians deserve to get vacuum bombed by the russian military
>virtue signalling for the sake of advertisement
That's not the point. They can say so, but the real problem - is financial and banking difficulties. Once payment methods will be restored - everyone will return to Russia and will do business as before.
And how are you going to back pedal if said video is posted?
Tbf Russia doesn´t have an economy. They live off selling their ressources. They couldn´t build a car from scratch if their life depended on it.
That's why I don't regret buying a steam deck. Valve/Steam won't ask me about my political stance, so they just respect and treat me as a consumer properly.
>america first
>simps for russia
lol
>thats a thing that is currently happening
i stand corrected user, move the peaceful NATO in asap
Post it then. It does exist right? You wouldn't just make it up right?
Google how much gas europe buys from Russia daily and how much of it goes through ukraine. This will sustain Russian economy for a looong time. Not that shitty paramount or macdonalds.
I hope they dont pay you in rubles dude, because despite what the russian central bank says you wont get a dollar for 80 rubles anywhere.
no one believes this except those seeking justification
Average Russian has no say, dipshit.
He was orchestrating elections for all the time he ruled. If you think Biden did a miracle, know that it's like a baby taking such a big shit it spills from the diaper. Ru Gov perfected the election staging a long time ago.
And guess what, Russians that are protesting this shit get the custody.
The russian economy is already in shambles dude.
its not part of anything you stupid retard. Blocking their access to mutt media wont do shit to them and sanctions are useless in every capacity. Remember NK are more than ready to demolish the entire world inspite of your petty sanxtions and imposing more will never undo that
I hope to God that Valve never goes public. They were silent back when Saint Floyd died too and I really appreciated that.
>vacuum bombed
I swear, next weak i will read about nuclear dirty bomb dropped on kiev. I expect this from reddit, but not from Yea Forums, of all places.
When did gaben said "America first"?
You shills need better material. You sound like retards.
Maybe he should innovate VR in the $400-500 headset price range
>b-b-but they're not facebook!
Fuck off, Valve is more than capable of creating a VR headset and selling it for 400-500 and they wouldn't even break the god damn bank, anyone that says otherwise is threatened that their 1k purchase will be made obso1337 by a cheaper and just as good of a headset made by Valve.
CNN told you so?
Don't bother it's shit.
You have to promise to kneel first
If (((they))) threaten Valve to shut down Russia they might threaten back by banning their children's accounts.
He spent decades building up the Russian (legit) games market and proving to the rest of the industry that they can be paying customers too, of course he's not gonna throw it all down the toilet at the drop of a hat.
If you can't handle the outdated graphics of HL, check out Black Mesa.
So you don't have it after all.
I'm not even the user you replied to.
(((small))) (((white))) (((penis)))
Did you know Russians never saw concrete in their lives and have exactly 2 streetlights in the entire country?
Jewish claws typed this post.
The pretty desperate moves from the russian central banks speak for themselves.
If I was a business owner, I wouldn't stop selling to Russia: I would increase the prices every week of war. Get Money.
incel baby hands typed this, enjoy never getting laid loser
Pure western theater.
He doesn't even believe that it's happening, he's just addicted to the validation that comes with pretending to be sad about the latest thing.
You didn't hear? Russia economy bounced back like bang. Turns out Europe can't get enough of that sweet Russian energy. Must make them feel like war isn't so bad after all.
I actually like old school low poly graphics
Fact: Russia's GDP was below Italy and Brazil even before this mess.
Had sex last night with the wife, kike.
Kill yourself to improve our world.
You will never be white.
You will be cursed by God eternally.
Are they trying to force their government to not do what they are doing?
No. Thus they are willingly OK with this. Not even a small pacifism movement sprang up.
Oh noo, he used the sex argument, what will I ever do?
Guess what, I can order a hooker any time I want and you will never rid your genes from a big and ugly nose.
Which moves?
Speaking of which, I always thought it was weird how everytime you searched for pictures of Russian military, so many were a bunch of skinny fucks who looked like they could barely even lift their gun
>russian civilians who has nothing to do with the conflict
The general public supports the war and wants to attack EU.
butthurt teenie weenie
They could always try a Wal-Mart gift card
>Average Russian has no say
The French had a say and dragged their aristocratic overlords for a public decapitation fiesta. The American colonies had a day and started a war. The reds had a say and dragged old nicky along with his entire family and chopped them up into little pieces.
The russian is a subhuman savage with no regard for human life or dignity and has been spreading death, poverty and suffering everywhere he went. Was no different under czarist russia, communism or now. Even today as we live with our nation having independence our cities are full of these vermin who absolutely refuse to learn the native language and integrate culturally. We have the occasional subsaharan nigger migrants who learn the language in a year. The russian is more disgraceful and retarded than subsaharan niggers. Let that sink in.
