So how long until Valve starts charging a monthly premium for the privilege of playing online?

See valve actually has competition within their field, like origin and uplay. The competition is utter garbage and allows valve to hold a near monopoly, but if they did some retarded shit like that it would give people reason to switch, and give ubisoft/ea something to use for marketing. Join Origin! No monthly fees!
So unless gabe is replaced by an elderly deaf rat, or even worse, a microsoft exec, then it should never happen.

They don't have to because the get money through 'cosmetics' sales and gambling.
Justin Sanchez
You're really retarded if you think this will ever happen
Jeremiah Allen
Sooner than you think. They've already got timed rentals on their store and soon they're realize they can get even more money by skimming their 30% off game rentals too.
Steam will have a subscription service by the end of the year. Guaranteed.

You also forgot about GOG

Seriously, do these children think Valve is running the servers for every PC multiplayer game on the planet?
I don't even understand what they're confused about.

Unintentional irony being that Gabe was originally a Microsoft exec?
David Sanders

If there is any sub from Valve, it will be a game streaming service, but that's it
Jack Rivera
Yea I did, shit. They would really capitalize on the people trying to move away from steam if valve did that dumb shit.
correction, modern microsoft exec.

There was a time when Microsoft were the good guys fighting against the Jews at Apple & IBM
Times have fucking changed though obviously
Cameron Bailey
Ever heard of GameSpy?
Ever dialed directly into a multiplayer match?
Goddamn you ignorant children.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself go full retard.

If MS ever gets serious about their gaming department, they'll just buy all the other platforms and then you'll pay wallets just to look at your library.
Actually, I'm surprised they aren't already charging you for simply booting up your computer. Though I guess, with Win10 forcing you to make and use an MS account, it's only a matter of time.
Dylan James
This. There's a lot of games that have their own servers. Steam stepping in and asking money for something they aren't even doing is beyond retarded.

>Ever dialed directly into a multiplayer match?
they probably haven't given that it's a thing in pretty much every single one of valve's games thanks to their quake heritage

Noah Butler
No, that was IBM & Apple
Apple never stopped being Jews, but MS were pretty cool for a while
