what went so right you mean. gaben successfully created micro-transactions and used the steam market to bleed whales dry. now they dont have to create silly games no more.

based gaben killing gaming and replacing it with gambling.

Alyx wouldn't be so bad if not VR only.

Simple. TF2fags and CS:GO/2fags make Valve an infinite amount of money via gambling, so Valve feels no need to make any real games anymore. Wouldn't you feel the same way? Why put in the effort when you've got an irl infinite money glitch anyway? If you wanna be angry at anyone for this, be angry at the tards who spend hundreds if not thousands on crates and cases and keys.

steam makes literally 500x more than any videogames valve has ever made

Guess what's on Steam? That's right, Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike 2.

No? I'd be in a video game company because I wanted to make video games.

The fact that the matter of finance was already taken care of should only be all the more reason to make vidya. Nothing to distract you.

But you still made plenty of money through steam without needing to whore out the games that should have been the pride of the company.

turns out kiking up the entire video games industry is easier and more profitable than making video games

And that's why you're not the one in charge, while lazy fat fuck Gabe is. In case you haven't gotten it through your dense skull yet, nobody in the gaming market these days is actually here for the sake of making fun games. They're here to make money. Valve has an infinite money generator through Steam and TF2/CS2, so they're not gonna fucking make any games anymore. Least, nothing with any passion behind it as you can tell by the OP image.

There's a mod for keyboard + mouse but it removed a lot of the physics puzzles.

>>718947356 (OP)
Valve talked about this is one of their behind the scenes things, can't remember where.

They kept starting projects then dumping them. Also trying to use source 2 when it wasn't ready yet

It was all shit after HL:OF

Grim

In other news..... that lawsuit against Steam for having a monoploy.....

Epic, Microsoft and Ubisoft are now forced to defend Steam or their own storefront will be in trouble for the exact same antitrust laws. Even tho none of them actually have a monopoly.

It's funny how Epic caused all this bullshit by falsely claiming Steam has a monopoly over and over until Steam actually gets slapped with antitrust lawsuit. And it came around full circle so that Epic has to defend Steam or they get slapped with the exact same lawsuit.

they dont need to make games anymore.

dota 2: fire
half life alyx: a masterpiece
deadlock: fire
OP: faggot

>>718953030
This means all stores will have to put their games on Steam while Valve won't need to do shit, lmao

>>718953030
That's hilarious.

>spend years of backbreaking work and hundreds millions of dollars to hopefully make a game that will sell billions,
>pick some cstard's artwork and release it as community update and make billions.
Some choices are hard.

>make games that might flop horribly and you lose your shirt
or
>take a percentage on transactions on the biggest game store
Hard choice.
