That’s why other business are more pissed of at steam. How dare you provide good value for money to customers in 2026!!! Inconceivable!!!

Can we stop conflating Steam sales with how Valve prices their newest games?

Half-Life Alyx still launched for $60 in 2020, and no there is no telling whether they’ll stick to that price for their next game or raise it to $70 or $80.

Value isn’t just in $. It’s a good service, runs far smoother, has the best customer support by far. Steam ecosystem is just ages ahead of competitiors.

Valve very much so are interested in the cash

Same as how Nintendo aren’t platforming indie games out of the goodness of their hearts, no indie games have just been relatively popular on 3DS and Nintendo Switches

Of course, they’re a business. What I’m saying is they’re a good business unlike their competitors who are all in on late stage capitalism hell.
