Valve finally makes a new video game
Trannys will stop making this thread every day
They'll sell Steam to EA, Epic, Amazon, Tencent or all of them.
>>748907378his son will sell everything.
>>748907378My library will disappear and ill be force into piracy again
>>748907378Valve goes public and gets bought by tencent and netease
>>748907378wen he die i wil go to him funeral
>>748907378When he die (you) go cry
/v/ will send him a get well soon card made one word at a time.It will be at the service.
when he dies we stop pretending valve is some messianic company
>another extremely low quality thread
>>748907378hes 20 years younger them trump
>>748907589thisand>>748907638this
>>748908271>another extremely low quality post by anon
>>748907378Phil becomes president of steam
>>748908387so nothing changes and valve still releases zero games?
>>748907378Do you really think he alone sits in a server room and rules Steam like a an emperor of some sort. There is a board of directors and Gabe is simply sitting in his yacht chilling, reading quarterly income reports at most. Why change something thats not broken. In short - absolutely nothing will change and even if it does who cares ? Steam is just another store not differentiating much from others
there's already a bunch of feminists and trannies in his company. they aren't allowed to hand out permabans or delete someone's account. YET.
>>748907378they'll press the big red "in case gabe ded" button on his desk, you don't wanna know what happens next..
>>748909068they should ban you specifically, but noone else.
>>748907678In all likelihood, Microsoft will buy Valve.
>>748907378He's a billionaire and we live in the age of funny peptides and crispr. I'm not convinced he even will.
>>748907378I didn't realise that was gabe newell. Is he on Ozempic too?
>>748907378i will cry.. hes like a father to me
His son will acend to the throne and godwilling he will serve as a worthy caretaker I worry more about the next generation, I don't think he has any grandkids yet
>>748907378The marine students won't get a "free" yacht anymore.But also won't have to fuck the Gabe
>>748908318>another extremely low quality reply by anon
>>748909257i don't think so, he started dropping weight a few years ago and he looks relatively healthy for a 63 year old man who used to weight 400+ pounds.
>>748907378His son will take over the company.
>>748907638which sucks ass and will be all devoid of soul and creativity
>>748907378you will lose all your games and you will pay to play multiplayer games
>>748909593Hopefully his son installs some sane leadership people who aren't leftie retards or braind dead chudcels
>>748907378Couldn't he put some stipulations in his will that say his son is not allowed to make the company go public or ruin it with any jewish bullshit?
>>748907378At this point, Valve might actually get less greedy and gay.
Can the government step in after his death and force the company to go public due to legal bullshit installed by other corporations?
>>748907378I move onto GOG.
>>748910102not legally
Valve with die with him. Jews, trannys, and faggots salivate at the thought of getting their hands on valve and destroying the last great white company.
>>748907378valve will eventually go public and then it will become shit due to shareholders always being in the wrong for consumers
>>748907378Why does he look like Hugh Jackman now
>>748908459They'll buy up studios who also don't release any games.
>>748907378https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS7KCt2WK94Then he dies
>>748907378he does fuckall with valve as it is. supposed his son is set to take the reins and he has the same values and sense as his father.
>>748907378upload his mind to a computer and become gaboss
>>748910338His son will probably force valve in to making Nascar/F1 sims all the time
>>748907378I will be sadGave Newell is a shinning star proving that all jeets and greedy merchants are Fucking wrong when it comes on how to manage a company
fatty hasn't done anything with valve in like a decade. valve was another venture for him (his most lucrative one albeit) and he's moved on from it outside of being their marketable spokesperson
>>748907378The vulture captialists will do their very best to make valve corporate and public.>>748907589>>748909372>>748910338A Chris Tolkien scenario is possible where the son faithfully does jack shit but collect fees and not fuck up the store, and then after he dies is when it goes to shit. >>748910014Only to a certain extent, but that requires setting up some people to enforce it, and what do you know, that group of trustees is now a corporation. >>748910102Unlikely. Valve doesn't answer to any single government, and even the most grab happy US based goverment isn't doing that shit for Valve. >>748910203And who decideds that?
>>748907378the revelation chapter from the bible
>>748910802And more importantly "competition between capitalists" isn't magic source for giving you the best outcome. Sometimes you need a fucker to stand on principles.
>>748910436Imagine Source 3 engine: Hyper optimized for racing, flight sims. Trying to slice off vehicles and vehicle comba
>>748907378Nothing will happen. Gabe has been hands-off for quite a while now while his son, who seemingly shares his values, has been running stuff in his place. Gabe is too busy with his BCI and deep sea research (see Starfish and Inkfish for reference).
>>748910802Well of course he's exceptional. He's a white American not hindered by them.
>>748911156>where the son faithfully does jack shitBest case scenario, but Gray literally gives no shits about video games. He wants to be a racecarm'n.
>>748907889Perfect anal ogy
>>748911548But presumably he does like money. The money from owning a hugely successful company like Valve can buy lots of race cars.
>>748907378For me nothing, if steam goes to shit i will just pirate more if not then nothing changes
>>748907378by the time he does the whole western world will look like haiti so who gives a fuck
>>748911235>"competition between capitalists" isn't a magic source for giving you the best outcomeand pleasing the shareholders isn't the best thing for a company to do.Valve never had to squeeze itself dry to reach some new financial plateau every quarter, they just kept selling steam games in the way that everyone already liked. No forced innovation, no adding things no one asked for, "here's our perfect product that you already like, unchanged".Christ, the Nabisco corporation has to make six new versions of Oreos every quarter to "drive up sales". You have the most popular cookie in the universe, fucking relax with that shit. They're forced to please their shareholders who need that number to go up constantly.
>>748912078The money from selling it to Tencent is even greater and carries no responsibilities.
>>748909257>Sees a person lose weight and immediately assumes it's ozempic There's a thing called diets anon you should try it.
They go public and enshittify the experience by nickel and dining the consumers who have vendor lock in
>>748911548Then we see Team Steam at nascar or indy or F1, and the designated trustee, who Gaben probably hand picks himself just drives it slowly and away from walls.
>>748909068You can actually get your account access bricked if you say shit like "lgbt is mental illness" in random steam forums.I'm just saiying
i dunno but if valve ever goes public, gaming is unironically over
Everyone on steam gets 1 million dollars
How do I manage to transform myself from fat fuck to actually somewhat normal, like Gaben has? I need to be held accountable, else I just won't do it. Fuck intrinsic motivation.
>>748913559shut the fuck up youll never find gabes cock under all that loose ozempic skin
>>748913408Not yet. I was friends with i hate n1993rs momoi from the blue archive community forum. he would spam nigger monkey in everyone's steam profiles and he only got 1 month.
>>748913408proof? never seen that happened before.
>>748907378Nothing. Gabe Newell doesn't even manage Valve anymore beyond glancing at something his team leads show him and just nodding or shaking his head. He runs two other companies and is fucking off on his boat. He doesn't give a shit about Valve anymore and hasn't had a hand in making or actually directing video games since Dota 2 and maybe a slight bit of care for Half Life Alyx.
>gabe newell >dyinghe's going to become a computer
>>748909685So no different to modern valve
>>748913559The only reason Valve hasn't gone public is because Gabe specifically finds venture capitalists as an obstacle towards his clients. It's much easier to sell a product if there isn't a board of shareholders breathing down your neck. Nothing will change immediately when Gabe kicks the boots, but I'm very certain whoever is chosen to run Valve won't be as set and stone as Gabe is regarding venture capitalists.So, eventually, Valve will sell out.
Gabe's actually already died multiple times in the last few years. He just uses black magic to transfer his soul into one of his underlings so he can live for eternity.
>>748913559true>>748913839lmao scared cuck but scared of what? GAMES?
>>748907378I'd honestly put money on Microsoft trying to buy it.
>>748914473valve? games?
>>748913903He's full of shit. At most you'll receive a community ban and be unable to post on the forums. Also you've really got to go out of your way to receive a permanent ban rather than a temp ban. Like you've got to actually deliberately be trying to get a permanent community ban to get one.
>>748909685and how is that different than what valve has been doing for the last 15 years?>no major game since 2013 >hardware and vr slop that no one can afford>entire valve economy is basically held up by furries, faggots, and chuds paying for virtual items as well as gambling ecosystem >but hey at least we get to play steam on linux I honestly can't believe how much people defend steam for how much little they have actually done for their consumer base. sure if you look at it from a tech and innovation perspective they have done great work. but if you look at it from a game dev and consumer perspective they have really strayed away and lost sight of who they used to be and I refuse to believe that they can't make a good vidya with all of the money, talent, and resources that they have at their disposal. but at least Gabe gets to explore the deep sea on his billion dollar yacht.
Obviously his son sells to Microsoft
>>748914985problem is steam makes enough money that the valve developer side can get away with having a heckin wholesome work ethic where they walk in and decide that day what they wanna do they need a fucking taskmaster
>>748913559>gaming will die... if this digital storefront goes undereastern europeans and spics unironically believe this
>>748910436fine by me as long as they don't make valve public
>>748914985this poster is in for a treat if valve ever actually decides to go public and realizes just how good you have it right now, theres a reason no other company has been able to pull off anything valve as done.
>>748907378Valve will continue to not make games
>>748909685Better than mobashit
>>748914985>making Deadlock right now>just released the FrameWhat do you want them to do? Shake an innovation stick at a game until it becomes something new? They already made the best VR game (still).
>>748907378Why is it always what happens when Gaben dies? There is never a thread about literally what if anyone else dies.
>>748916575What other death would have a bigger impact in gaming?
>>748909372This is the best case scenario. The other is that the son is offered a gorillion dollars by a chinese company and it ends up like Smithfield or Jack Daniels.
>>748914876No. I am talking about losing your entire steam account. You can easily completely lose your steam forum rights by getting warned like 5 times. It uses a milestone system so even something minor like off topic can fuck you for life.
>>748913559I'm scared you actually believe that
>>748916575PC gaming is propped up by Steam. Can you fucking imaging relying on Epic games? All those "key websites" revolve around using Steam too.It would unironically be over. We'd have to go back to brick and mortar.>but muh Gaben doesn't control Steam by himselfNo, but he's the owner and president of Valve and he calls the shots. Sell Steam to the Chinese and it will be fucked beyond recognition in two days.I can't think of another person who is propping up an entire industry by themselves simply because they really like it. He could cash out tomorrow and get another 15 yachts, but he doesn't do it. He likes what he made and is glad it exists.
>>748907378when he die he be ded
>>748918274you mean the company that actually pays developers to make games? oh the horror my launcher will say epic instead of steam
>>748907378Netflix will buy Valve
>>748916575What happens when Jackie Chan dies?
>>748912253theres no responsibility, gabe already does nothing with steam or valve games, last time he stepped in was portal 2 development or something like that. so gray can just race his cars like his dad is now researching the ocean or whatever
The epstein files will be released. What do you think he has been searching for with that yacht armada?
>>748910014I'd do it for him but I'm pretty dumb.
>>748915905>oh bro just imagine how worse it could be! You get no new games now but you might get negative games!
>>748916575Almost like Steam is the only western company keeping gaming alive or something.
>>748918817Retard
>>748918612He finally out of trouble...
>>748907378Valve can't survive without merging with a major AI and cloud based company, because cloud gaming is the future.Microsoft or Nvidia will incorporate Valve by 2030
>>748907378really bad things
>>748916575>What would happen if Timmy Tencent died
>loves ai>wants to implant you with brain control chips>created predatory lootboxes >scammed people with artifact 2>new game looks like it was picked straight from the 2020 era woke tree>price fixes pc games>started the you will own nothing trend and normalized it on pc years before anyone else did it>thinks you should have to pay for modsThis fat fuck is the most cancerous thing to ever happen to gaming
>>748919069SAAR
>>748919142>Steam never existed>You have to go to Fry's to buy a physical PC game>Old games disappear forever>Always have to pay retail price for every game>PC gaming attracts no new customers due to costs and compatibility>Dies out by 2010>Sony dominates the gaming sphere permanently, AAA or nothingA world without Gabe is 1000x worse than any mistakes he may have made.
>>748920971>NOOOOOO I WOULD OWN MY OWN PHYSICAL GAMES!!!!lol steamies afraid of ownership
Valve's already going down the dumpster path at record pace so nothing I bet.
>>748907378devs will celebrate in the streets like it's 9/11
>>748907378>drone thinks only Valve can make a good distribution platform.holy fuck valve drones are literally subhumans. Is there only one good car company? Use your brain you retarded nigger.
>>748921090Who's going to keep making those CD-ROMs? What is their incentive?>want to play Dungeon Keeper 2>reality: Buy a modern Windows-11 compatible version of it on Steam for $1.99>alternate reality without Steam: Get on eBay. Find a very used copy from someone's attic. $750 winning bid (rare). Scratched to hell. Have to pay $100 to have it laser etched. Need a slow-speed USB CD drive to read it. Incompatible with any Windows past XP. Have to make a partition and install an XP emulator. Still won't run properly on modern GPUs. $1000 and two weeks later you can get it to run.
>>748921371Then why can’t epic? Gaben has all the money and all the tech, he won’t die he will transition the the cloud and use all the worlds computing to power his incredible intellect. And he will collect his 30% from you forever. Literally nothing you can do lil brownbois
>>748909685Gaben has always been more of a businessman than a creative brain behind the games.
Gaben is such a lord. My pussy gushes for him
>>748907378Jews will win
>>748911326Gaben is building an irl Borealis and Half-Life 3 will be a real global scale event instead of a videogame
>>748922301That anon is going to probably say one or both of these things>Piracy is the way>Making PC gaming too accessible has harmed itWhile both are true it's a corporate shill or a dumb kid being a contrarian because he's bored. But I want to warn everyone ITT that I have seen (and have done myself) a lazy cope of just assuming I will be able to jump to Linux or modded Windows and using piracy if the worse happens. Get on that shit now rather than later because in the coming years just finding useful information about anything even slightly gray area is going to become nearly impossible. Not only is the last decent platform going to go to shit but so is the entire surface Internet. Piracy has been and will always be a thing but easy piracy might actually come to an end. Make friends and get into a pirate tracker before it becomes basically impossible.
>>748922820>half life 3lol. Lmao even
>>748919069You have 70 IQ and are probably Indian. You don't need AI to do cloud gaming btw.
>>748907378$1 billion dollar viking funeral
>>748922942SAAR WITH AI I CAN MAKED THE HALF-LIFE 67!
>>748923030Only thing ai will maked is your people’s genocide ranjeet
>>748922418>Then why can’t epic?they can? did you ever use epic? its the same shit you tard.
>>748923168lol retard
whoever takes over will say they cant be problematic like gabe was and will do literally everything wrongit'll be so over
>>748923210>t. Never used the absolute dogshit that is epic
>>748907378Death of gaming, it's not that he was the messiah or something but he was the only one who didn't ouright held comptent toward humanity
>>748923234lol mentally incompetent
>>748923327EA launcher would like to have a word w you
>>748923234>>748923472anon, you were being trolled gently
>>748907378His son will leave car racing and lead Valve to greater heights.
>>748915905what good has valve actually accomplished recently? to me the things that come to mind are the endless supply of indie-slop games, a virtual item and online gambling economy that keeps decade-old games alive that influenced the rest of the gaming industry to hell, and a major service platform where you pay 25% off a game just to not even technically own it. valve used to be gods and now they are nothing more than a privately funded tech lab backed by gambling. >>748916406>ah yes deadlock another team-based action hero shooter. there definitely aren't enough of those floating around (overwatch, tf2, rivals, apex, valorant) >ah yes the frame, $1300 dollars to play your vr exclusive game please that is some Nintendo level shit my guy, and yes! why can't they shake their innovation stick at their games, they did it with half life, portal, team fortress, counter strike, and left 4 dead all multiple times within each IP.
