Poll Does thinking about Valve make you happy? (25 votes)

Yes 40%
No 60%

My friends, I have a confession to make. Sometimes when I feel sad, I log into to steam to feel closer to Valve. Being actively connected to them and knowing i am giving them well deserved business makes me feel hopeful that the entire industry isn't just full of cunts.

When I think of EA, or Activision, or Ubisoft or the gaming jurnislism or next generation consoles attempting to stick microtransactions in a fully priced retail game while jacking the price up from last generation games about 25% it just makes you think of assholes in suits trying to take you for a ride. Then I think of Gabe Newell, a billionaire who wears a red t-shirt and $5 jeans and plays dota 2 all day. Thats a genuinely humble guy who loves games.

Does thinking about Valve in general make you feel good about the industry and perhaps, through this huge tunnel of shit it has become, have a glimmer of hope?

My friend, your attitude is indicative of what is commonly termed "fanboyismz". The lack of decorum is overwhelming.

Not really. I like Valve and steam and all, but the last game they put out that I liked was Half-Life 2 and that was 9 years ago so........

No, because I lost interest in the Steam Machine and I am just focusing on the PlayStation 4 now; I except I can never be a PC video gamer, it just is not worth it for me.

Nah. I'm a pretty selfish kind of guy. If a game is good, I buy it. I don't care much about developers. I don't care much about hype concerning them. That applies to all developers, including Valve.

ALL HAIL Valve!

The kings of gaming who rescue us from corrupt mainstream media and casual console trash with microtransactions.
