when has bethesda EVER focused on quality?
they don't even make games anymore because games are risky and Steam is a sure bet.
Morrowind 😉
Their most recent shit has been just drivel
i guess it's because every big studio does user experience testing, where bunch of normies say it's too hard and not everything is obvious
Valve stopped taking risks because steam rakes in so much money they don't need to
so they streamline it until you get to the point of press f to win and pay respect
you'd think that when they get an endless stream, they'd be inclined to take MORE risks simply cuz they can
^
It's more like
Valve should take risks. If they don't they're eventually going to be out-competed by upstarts, like Discord.
You have to justify that what you're working on will be more profitable than Steam
sometimes they invest in indie developers
Well, Valve shifted their company model
they can keep using steam
I like that the FF series is always reinventing itsself.
Fired most of their dev teams and lore guys
It doesn't always land
the point is they can spend some of those millions on making new games too
but its always something different
But any new game e.g. HL3 is likely to have much smaller margins than Dota 2 or TF2 stuff
Get too much money, forget where they came from and become a cosmetics company
Or improving Steam
hahahahahah
improving steam
that's a good one
Also I hear the atmosphere is a little bit
😏
High school cliques
steam seems decent imho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Atkins discord won't over take steam unless they drop their lefty lean
Don't get me wrong, Steam is great
and take the hands off approach valve has.
So if that's not what the popular folks want, it's probably not happening
also, Discord needs to compete with windows store, origin, and all these others as large publishers start getting jealous/vindictive.
not because those are good
I for one welcome any and all alternative storefronts
Steam sells hentai
but because the publishers are pushing to make it the only option
Isn't the left the guys who currently think it's hip to bash gamers and vidya games
