When he dies, PC gaming will die with him
>>722122126Maybe I'll die too
PC gaming thrived before him, and will do so after him.
>>722122209before him, consoles dominated the market and were the superior choice for gaming
he's apparently grooming his son to take over so maybe there's hopeprobably not but you get the idea
>>722122126There's a backlog of 40 years of PC games, and emulators for pretty much every pre-Switch 2 console ever made. PC gaming will be just fine.>>722122285Retard.
>>722122285Actually consoles + PC dominated the market and will continue to do so.
>>722122423>and will continue to do so.anon... there's no other way to play video games
>>722122285PC golden age was 1998-2002
>>722122514NTA. There's one, tho, mobile, and mogs both markets in revenue terms.
PC gaming died decades ago
>>722122126I know his kids don't seem very interested in keeping the whole thing running but does he have grandchildren who might?
>>722122285TRVKE. This fat fuck did nothing.
>>722122567Roughly the exact moment Steam became mainstream
>>722122704The post is saying that the fat fuck changed everything.
Good riddance.Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
I already got my top 50 games backed up, a NAS full of media backups, a bookshelf of movies and shows, comics, and a Raspberry Pi 4. It can all go TOMORROW and I'd be good.
>>722122829Your commitment to the bit is unparalleled
>>722122351So you're telling me Gabe is a groomer?
>>722122351>he's apparently grooming his son to take overi keep seeing people say this but cant find any info about it
>>722122567>>722122735>Playing Total War and EDF on the same platformYou will never know the feel consolepoor
>>722122285>consoles dominated the market and were the superior choice for gaming
>>722122514fone
>>722123065the good kind>>722123078i heard it here so yeah it's probably bullshitpc gaming is dead beyond recognition when he dies RIP
>>722123102I know the feeling because I'm an idort
>>722122126>Gabe dies>day 1>steam subscriptions >tiered >starting at 18.99 per month>more ads but for random shit like shampoo and Netflix shows>no more family play or sharing accounts>steam sales max out at 10% off >unique names that you have to register >no more offensive names>we get a new half life online MMO live service >we get a new portal online MMO live service>we get a new left 4 dead online MMO live service>tf2 stays the sameIt will be hell.
>>722123129Correct, consoles dominated the market.
>>722123196Not a single PC game will spontaneously combust when he dies or anything else happens.>b-but muh always onlineYou have been warned thousands of times to not let a corporation fuck you in the arse. You get what you deserve.>b-but muh slop made by statistical models ran by clueless retards and lazy jeetsMight as well try eating diarrhea while you're at it.PC games will keep being made, good existing PC games will keep being played and neither you nor he can do anything about it.
>>722122126Hope he dies soon-ish :)
>>722123375But not the superior choice of game.
>>722122126Yes. But that's alright. I had my fun
>>722123316>On the same platforn>IdortMore like idiot!
>>722122126Im a sonychad and when he dies I'm gonna celebrate his death on Twitter to trigger you fascists. Can't wait to see more conservative tears <3
>>722123429No they were that as well.
>>722123481You show them racist "master race" chuds xister!
>>722123473Sure.
>>722123102games like EDF being on PC is part of the problem, those are console games
>>722123496>Couldn't play CoH, STALKER, UT or Supreme Commander>SuperiorFuck no
>>722123547Seething>>722123579All games are PC games nowcope
>>722122889based and same
>>722123609That's post Valve you fucking retard. Anon is talking about the 90s.
>>722123609PC couldn't play console titles as well, many would agree are superior to those. >>722123670Sure.
>>722123754Good catch. Never relax around PC vegans. They're known liars and decievers.
>>722123579Console games were ported to PC and viceversa all the time.
Valve invented gambling microtransactions, why do people act like they're some saint of the gaming industry
>>722123754>>722123758>>722123827>>722123912You're brown
Good
what the fuck is going to happen to Valve once GabeN bites the big one?None of his kids are worthy.
>>722124071White/blue eyes actually
>>722123708Honestly I don't understand why more people aren't saving. Hell just get a 2tb external drive! We've all how triggered happy companies are to just wipe a game from stores!
>>722122126Some saudi oil baron buys steam
>>722124276>here is pic i took from facebook saar i am aryan yes?lmoa brownoid
>>722124071>>722124276the year is 2100, blue-eyed white people have become extremely are to the point that they're all been captured and put in zoos.
>>722124562Sure.
>>722124880I don't understand Hindu shitskin, sorry!
>>722125015Sure.
>>722122514unc doesn't know about mobile pubg :skull: :skull:
>>722123129>>722122285Yeah. You don't remember what PC games looked like in 2005 or by that time a lot of the old PC game makers died off with nothing to replace them.
>>722123415i hope you die within the next few seconds
>>722125547If you think Gabe is a greedy jew, I'd hate to see what you think of the next kike CEO that will replace him and implement a subscription based system just to even be able have access to steam
>>722125547I don't know how owning yachts impacts you. Keeping Steam for the players is enough of a contribution to humanity.
>>722122285Consoles were only the superior choice when blitters were relevant. Hell, even in that time period (around the 16-bit era), PCs blew them away.
>>722125181brown consolepoor parrotlmoa
>>722124274Some shitter will take over and make Steam immediately much worse in the name of profits and pleasing shareholders.
>>722125547What a missing father figure does to a mf
>>722127107Sure.
NOOOOO WHAT WILL WE DO WITHOUT THE GUY WHO PUSHED DRM PLATFORM THAT TIES YOUR GAMES TO ONE ACCOUNT, THAT PRIORITIZES MICROTRANSACTIONS, LOOTBOXES, COSMETICS AND TRIED TO PUSH PAID MODS AND FOUGHT IN COURTS TO NOT ALLOW REFUNDS ON STEAM
>>722127635Probably not play games. If Steam dies, there's really no reason to bother anymore if there's no alternatives.
>>722122126Good. Bring back physical media
>>722127847Physical media is never going to make a comeback unless some kind global wide natural disaster happens.
>>722127798Yeah bro drm platforms will stop existing with him
>>722122285Consoles never stopped dominating even if steamies cry about it
>>722127847>Blank CDs inside an empty caseFuck modern physical and fuck consoleplebs.
>>722127940PC is bigger than all 3 platforms combined
>>722127847It's always a pity that Blu-ray never took off on PC. And now you can't even play 4K Blu-ray movies on ANY PC. But they should be at least useful for data purposes. On the other hand, publishers won't come back to PC because there isn't any kind of active copy protection service right now. SecuROM was the last one and became Denuvo.
>>722127929There's literally no alternatives. Consoles are a joke of trying to maintain parity at low double digit framerates with inferior upscaling. Other stores either have no games (GOG, MS, battle.net, EA, Ubisoft) or have shitty interfaces (GOG, EA, Ubisoft, Epic).
>>722128110>Steam is why I have good frame rates and resolutionThe self described tech literates sure love pretending to be stupid when it convienences them.
>>722128480>I can't readHow are you doing, Pranjesh Shawharnamajeet?
>>722128509Doing fine, Pranjesh Shawharnamajeet
>>722128509Saar pls do redeem the MS and Epic store! Please do the needful saar!!! Micorosof is not to blame for DRM is s the Steam yes?
>>722128718>argues against DRM>argues for stores with the same DRMFor those of you who like to call "shill" on anyone you disagree with, this is what true shilling looks like: using actual lies to promote things.
>>722122126let's be honest, PC is slowly killing itself all on its own soon people will realize they can spend $500 and get decent to great performance, or spend $3000 and get stutters, overheating issues, broken .dll files not to mention the other problems PC gaming brings such as cheaters
>>722128780Should be fine since you lied ans credited steam for why your computer has good performance two posts ago. Then lied and said I was indian in the same post.
>>722128909
>>722128934>can't read>still arguing about the statement he misread>is a jeet who can't read American like Jesus spoke
>>722129010Sure.
>>722128097>It's always a pity that Blu-ray never took off on PC.I genuinely will remember this fact at least once a month while I'm sitting at my computer and get irrationally angry for a minute or soTo my knowledge there wasn't a single main stream pc release on blu ray, such a wasted opportunity. I still have internet that's <3mbps and can't really get any better, would pay out the ass to not have to sit in a library for 3 hours with a laptop whenever I want a new game like I'm a bum.
>>722129026>has no argument>"Sure."I can filter this chain of conversation from now on, Sanjay Sukhcockdeep.
>>722129106My argument was here >>722128480Then you denied it happening so here we are, with you lying to defend a corpo.
>>722122126>>722122285>>722123758>>722127940>most obvious bait thread in months>hundreds fall for itYou stupid fucking niggers.
>>722129035>To my knowledge there wasn't a single main stream pc release on blu ray, such a wasted opportunity.There was one, Nioh: Complete Edition, in Taiwan, protected with Steam.There's also this European-only shovelware compilation.Redump has a list of Blu-ray PC releases.http://redump.org/discs/system/pc_bd-50/http://redump.org/discs/system/pc_bd-25/ (zero)Sadly, Steamworks got popular with third-party publishers around the time games still came out on double layer DVDs, some notable examples being Saints Row 2 and, of course, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.A physical release with account-based DRM may as well be a paperweight.
>>722128909I spent around 500$ in total building my PC and it out performs every console and just barely gets beaten by my friend's build spent like 2k$ on his and that one was a pre-built.What you're describing isnt really "PC killing itself", its a literal skill issue amongst consumers.
>>722129308Clam down.
>>722122126Steam might, but something will take its place if that happens. Gaben has been a staple in the realm of PC gaming, that is undeniable, but it existed and thrived before Valve even formed. As long as there is computers, there will be PC games.
>>722129349The first third party game I saw that used Steam out of the box was Sin Episodes: Emergence. Dark Messiah let you install single player without Steam. FEAR 2 was where I think it tipped to "this is the future."Nowadays, physical just seems silly due to the speed and reliability of internet connections. There are obviously people in rural areas that are fucked by this, but the bulk of the first world lives in a reasonably developed part of their countries.
>>722122126PC gaming was already dead. Valve just prolonged the inevitable a little longer.
>>722122126And nothing of value will be lost.
>>722128909>PC is dyingNice 80 dollar games faggot, enjoying those price increases? AHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!
Worse.It won't die, even when it should had.
>>722129827>>722130480
>>722122126PC gaming is dying. GOG.com is collapsing with a 89% drop in profits. this means Valve is getting fucked, but because they are private they will show no data.
>>722130756>GOG failing means Valve is>GOG has no games>GOG has a shitty storefront>that means Valve is strugglingAre you fucking stupid? I know the answer is yes, so you don't have to respond.
>>722130756>PC gaming is dyingIt's been dying since 2005, it's finally fucking over!https://www.zdnet.com/article/forget-the-gaming-pc-buy-a-console/
Funny thing is, the jews have been slowly phasing out CD drives so when Valve goes under and there's nobody to take over, we can't even go back to just using CDs.PC is doomed
>>722122567Sorry, when was it ever good? I must have missed that
>>722131114>>722131148Damn, I guess it's over!
>>722130945>>722131092Here comes the Gabe cocksuckers like clockwork. Steam Deck is DEAD, Valve hasn't announced the Steam Deck 2 and Palworld and Sonic racing are dead on Steam. Valve is clearly in trouble. Microsoft is going to buy them and shut them down.
>>722122126>He thinks Steam, a multi-billion dollar e-store will die if Gabe dies
I should have got a phone stand years ago that way I could browse 4chan without my parents seeing
>>722123129PCfag here. He's not wrong. Consoles defined video games
>>722130569imagine seeing a womans face is all it takes to ravage your anus. lmao get laid faggot
>>722131353>seething tendielamo
>>722131372It will. That money isn't going towards what you think it is.
>>722131440PC redefined them
>>722131479>Consoletranny lol
>>722131483Niggers always laugh before the collapse. EA niggers laughed. Intel niggers laughed. Xbox niggers laughed. GOG.com is a sign the PC gaming is collapsing. If you want to ignore that, that is your problem.
>>722131563>9 years to sell 1 million
>>722131638>>722131642Thanks for the seethe,! I'll be sure to pirate and emulate everything that exists and has ever existed while you keep your paypig ways.lul
>>722122126Why the fuck are you faggots so obsessed with him dying? Are we gonna start a death pool for Phil Spencer or Tim Sweeney?
>>722131792Desperation mostly
>>722131792Maybe because he's fat and old and could die at any moment???
>>722131792Because the likelihood of anything changing if Phil Spector dies is non-existent.The likelihood of anything changing if Tim Sweeney dies is only a bit higher than Spencer's.Newell is the dictator of the biggest PC store right now.His death definitely could change things.
>>722131852>>722131883He's going to live 20 more years while riding his megayatch just to make you seethe.
>>722131792He's morbidly obese and getting old, it's coming one of these days
>>722131959I don't even care if he lives or dies. I'm just explaining why no one makes this shit for Spector or Sweeney.
>>722122126I have to believe that he has a successor picked out already who carries the same torch
>>722131762Awwwwwwww. He's scared. LMAO. GOG.com is a WARNING. Dont be surprised when Microsoft, "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" Valve.
>>722131961>>722132015You lost
>>722132013You mean his son? He doesn't have what it takes, nor does he care as much. He'll lead the company to ruin.
>>722132015There's literally no way Microsoft could compete with Valve with the head start they have.>>722131642Nobody played it. It sold low six digits the first year. It took until 2009 to break 1 million sold. I'm amazed they continued it. Even with a low budget, 138k copies in the release year (and it came out in June) is bad. This is from a Square document from April 22, 2009 detailing the profitability of their newly purchased subsidiary, Eidos Interactive.
>>722122126so, just like Iwata
>>722132345Opposite actually
>>722122126pc gaming is already dead. nothing worth buying or playing, woke shit everywhere, no os that isn't blatant spyware. it's ded jim
>>722132427Also, women think gaming is the least attractive hobby.
>>722132112Yeah losing weight when you're like 60 doesn't suddenly fix the issue of you being a fat fuck for your entire life before that. The damage to his organs is already done.
>>722122126pc gaming is already dead >>722122351he has a son? lel
>>722132498>signs you're in for kino of the highest order
>>722132427>>722132468>>722132474You lost
>>722125015lmao
>>722132297>There's literally no way Microsoft could compete with Valve with the head start they have.Who said anything about competing? Valve is headed towards Microsoft in the future. I'm sure they pissed away truckloads of money on the failed Steam Deck. Microsoft might grab them sooner than later.
>>722132726>the biggest company pushing for Linux is headed towards Microsoft in the futurecope
>>722132297Anyone can make a website that hosts games. Literally anyone.
He plans to live forever. Already has a couple off the books nuclear powered subs retrofitted as mobile cryogenic pod bunkers. At worst he'll just get frozen for a couple decades at the bottom of some uncharted ocean trench until his quantum powered Alyx waifu AI develops a method to revive him.
>>722132468who the fuck cares what dumb bitches think? lol they only vote to kill their children...
>>722132820Intel fags said there's now way Intel could get in trouble.....
>>722132824Yet nobody manages to even try to offer a fraction of what Steam does.
>>722133113Intel shills you mean
>>722122126I doubt much will change.
>>722133129Steam offers nothing that didn't already exist on PC
>>722128110Don't use Galaxy, just use the GOG installers
>>722133395>download individual files at slower speeds than the already slow Galaxy (picrel was shot on my connection, which maxes out close to 200MB/s)>download 40 of them for large games>still use a web browser to manage your own games>install manually after>install DLC and patches manually one by one afterwardsHow about no?
>>722129353>I spent around 500$ in total building my PC and it out performs every consoleNot possible right now.
>>722122285Only for normalfag genres
