Isn’t he CEO of Valve, a company with famously lean amount of staff?

Social media is shrinking our attention spans, but video games may be the surprising antidote in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Thanks, I scanned article if it was properly sourced but not that in depth. I’ll take this down.

Pretty sure 99.99% of his wealth at this point comes from Steam taking 30% cut and lootboxes in CS.

Man can’t be responsible for all the nice things in Steam but absolved of creating a lootbox/gambling empire.

If only Valve was a public company and we could get a real look in their finances. I think many people would have a very different opinion of them. My little conspiracy theory is that this lack of transparency is why they’re flying under the radar of EU Digital Markets Act as they sure look like a gatekeeper.

Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. in c/games@sh.itjust.works

If Valve starts utilising Intel ME to do what I’m warning everyone about is it on Valve or Intel?

Nvidia (and everyone else) sells their GPUs/NPUs to the highest bidders they can legally sell them to. Not sure how that’s relevant to this discussion.

I’m dying on this hill because people act like Valve is different. If I had to guess it’s PC players that want to feel superior to others, even though they were first to lose access to physical copies of games and second hand market it provided.

Valve, unlike Dell, has the power to vertically integrate an ecosystem. They own an app store with de facto monopoly over PC gaming. If Valve says that starting 2030 you can only run Steam on Windows and their own locked down OS (and enforce that via bootloader or some other measure) what can you do about it? You only licensed games from them, never bought them.

The equivalent of that $300 Dell in 10 years is even more likely to be locked down. Open hardware will become more and more niche, and therefore even more expensive comparatively. This is where the entire industry seems to be going.
