Well, I use Steam a ton and have a Steam Deck. But, Steam dev effort to income ratio is probably ridiculously skewed. The company pretty much prints money. In that way, Steam is a cash grab.

I do question if Steam hadn’t been such a success if Valve might have released HL3 by now.

It has Google vibes to it. Google makes so much money in ad revenue that a lot of their other products just get cancelled.

I do like Valve overall though and am a fan. I’m a fan that wants to know the ending of HL3.
