I think the batshit name of this thing shows they've never been better.

What a weird weird thing.

Please put blades in Steam OS.

My brother you think you can recognize AI but you cannot recognize AI. You're bad at it. There is a story like this every day now.

Really sorry to hear that. He was a very good boy.

I am usually playing several random things at once so I can't help but submit the one I think might make you chuckle as you go through the data.

Hopefully this game will let us jump dash like maniacs.

I used to play these campaigns every year just for the spectacle and all the money on the screen. Fell off pretty hard after modern Modern Warfare.

Grating is absolutely the MGS4 microwave corridor of food prep.

Gaben has moved on from video games entirely. He doesn't fund small game developers that are making cool shit and he doesn't have an ongoing philanthropy footprint. Look closely and he's just another billionaire that seems to desperately need every single dollar that comes his way.

4) I enjoy a gaben meme from time to time, but what has he done with his billions that the above fuckery has contributed to? He owns and lives on a literal fleet of yachts, he owns a full on yacht company, and he started a brain-computer interface startup called Starfish Neuroscience.

3) Steam absolutely should not be charging developers 30% across the board. Small game makers should only be paying them between 5% & 15%. Even AAA games shouldn't have to pay more 20% in my opinion.

How many games could have been better, or didn't get made at all because 30% went to Valve?

2) The gambling mechanics in CS2 genuinely suck. They're just as cynical as in most other free to play titles the community rake over the coals for it. But for some reason CS2 gets a pass.

Not to mention the huge ACTUAL gambling industry that surrounds the game as described in detail here:

1) If you've ever looked at the discussions attached to games you know how much of a rotten cesspool those can be. This is not okay. In fact the ADL reported that,

"Extremist and hateful content – in particular, white supremacist and antisemitic content – is widespread on Steam Community pages."

All 3 of their games are awesome 👍

Oof maybe it going away was exactly what needed to happen.
