    They made a pretty big promise in Alyx, which he acknowledged in the documentary. It’s also been about 5 years since Alyx was announced and released around the Game Awards, so given that promise that they made 5 years ago, maybe this year is the year.

    When is this guy going to start wearing a turtle neck? Yeah, he’s been capitalizing alright, enough to own 1 billion dollars worth of mega yatchs.

    How about he promises to stop raping the industry with his buddies at Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo.

      Bold move, saying Valve isn’t the only company in the whole world that actually loves their customers! Reddit Lemmy hive mind is incapable of accepting such a thought.

          Atleast there would be a offline option with that. If online multiplayer was paid.

            You can pay for online multiplayer and not have an offline option on consoles. There’s no reason to believe that paying for it would make more games playable offline.

            Steam itself has an offline mode, even if they sell online-only games. I use it pretty often.

          You don’t remember pre-Steam then, because it was already headed down this path. Piracy and used copies have been the boogieman for a long time, and doing anything they can to prevent both was always the natural destination of the industry, unless more people start shopping on GOG.
