    They bought it, did nothing with it, and are now selling it. Amazing.

    Honestly happy they’re selling it though, I was so disappointed when they originally bought it.

    Almost like crying about Steam “exclusives”, creating an actual exclusivity PC war, and handing out free games to prop up a shitty marketplace and launcher wasn’t such a good financial decision…

      Well, competition for Valve might not be the worst thing.
      On the other Hand I’m not sure if we would have gotten vive or steam deck if valve didn’t have a money printing machine with steam.
      I’m rather certain that most companies would be worse for consumers, with the level of monopoly (/market dominance) that steam enjoys

        Really like your perspective on it. Watching Disney and EA scoop up multiple IPs than misuse them like they are really puts Valve into perspective lol. At least Valve has the Steam Sales which is the most consumer friendly i’ve ever seen in recent history lol. Next to Sega promoting us to scream at our teachers and parents lmao.
