Will Valve go back to making games now that their gambling empire is dissolving?
>>735090649No. Their Steam empire will keep them making money.
>>735090649are they still capable of making new games that meet their god-like status?
>>735090649Nah they'll just take 40% revenue from developers and introduce a subscription for users to keep access to their library.
Valve literally never stopped making games. They still constantly update multiple games they made as well. >gambling empire dissolved Kek they'll lose. Valve will continue on or just pull out of NY/ Europe etc. You kikes will never get a cent from him no matter how badly you want him to go public.
>>735090649Valve makes games ?
>>735090849>Valve literally never stopped making games.What games did they release last year?
>>735090649They will just shut down steam and revoke everyone's games license
>>735090971Oh I was unaware, do all video game companies release games on a yearly basis now? This is news to me faggot.
>>735090971rockstar releases games less often than valve but no one claims they don't make games
I'd rather Valve not make games willy nilly because that's what led to Artifact and Underlords.
>>735090649>Deadlock in closed beta so long that the entire market has changed from hero shooters to battle royale to extraction slop to horde shooters and now back to single player story games Grim.
>>735090649they'll still be able to sell lootboxes, microtrasanctions and get the 30% cut from everything, they'll be fine
>>735090824If this happens ans it really could, I'll stop playing games forever. Enshittification is the last stage of the cancer that is capitalism.
>>735091123>Oh I was unaware, do all video game companies release games on a yearly basis now?Only the actually good ones
>>735091281you can't see their master plan, by the time the game releases in 10 years the market will have looped back to hero shooters
>>735091360>they'll still be able to sell lootboxesThat's exactly what they're getting sued over
>>735090649/v/aggots will look you straight in the eye and swear that Gabe isn't a dirty kike even when his hooknose is the most prominent feature of his face.
They released alyx in 2020 and are making deadlock so idk what you're on about my homosexual friend.
>>735091678NYAG's issue is being able to cash out the contents of the boxes, not the actual lootboxes themselves. Gachas and FIFA don't allow to sell or trade their rewards which is why they don't care about those. If Valve were to just take out user trading then it would be resolved.
>>735091424Which ones?Most of my favourite games for the past few years have had at least a 3 year turn around.

>>735092027>Once upon a time, the Steam marketplace was once seen as a consumer friendly thing (Got something you don't like? Sell it and buy the thing you do want or trade for it)>Now is the reason Valve is getting sued for anti-consumer practicesIt's kinda funny in a cosmic way.
>>735092027That would kill all of Valve's profits from the market then, at that point they'd only be making money from key sales, which is next to nothing compared to the bank they make from the community market
>>735092180 >Once upon a time, the Steam marketplace was once seen as a consumer friendly thing Because it *was* compared to literally everything else at the time. TF2/DOTA skins had actual liquidity, you could cash out to some shady third-party site and at least convince yourself it wasn’t pure sunk cost like FIFA points.The cosmic joke is that Valve accidentally created a grey-market stock exchange for pixels and then acted shocked when regulators noticed kids were daytrading knife skins. Of course it was going to end like this. You don’t get to skim 15% off every transaction forever and pretend you’re just the chill PC storefront.If they nuke trading to dodge lawsuits it’ll be even funnier. Ten years of “muh free market economy” talk from skinbros instantly reduced to glorified battle pass slop. Truly poetic.
>>735092250I thought with most of those third party sites they used external payments (Crypto, direct bank transfers, paypal etc.) and then used the steam trading to give the items away. Valve got no cut of that and that's part of why the trade cool down period got introduced.
>>735091916Anon, 2020 is six years ago now and it could be years until Deadlock releases, which plenty don't even want to begin with.
>>735092250>You don’t get to skim 15% off every transaction foreverThat's precisely what valve would have gotten away with if they had actually stuck to that. Somehow owning steam wasn't enough money for valve.
