Say you're marking the grave of Valve. What date would you mark as its death?

The day a competitor rises to replace Steam as the worlds best digital distribution resource.

Last time they released a game worth a shit

I'm not exactly prescient so how would I know? They're doing pretty well as of now.

>durr they're still making money

they've become soulless monsters, don't be pedantic pricks

almost never. Valve is smart and they adapt and innovate. Image any other company trying to do what they do with anywhere near the same finesse and qaulity

Few years after Gaben is pushing flowers.

That's not what dying means user. And in a world with more than a few legitimately monstrous corporations, you'd have to be incredibly detached from reality to consider them anything more than a minor villain at worst in comparison.

MannCo update. Fucking crates and shit.

When steam was released, at least that's when Valve became dead to me.

>Steam mostly supply only VR and anime games
>All games are now early access
>Developers are afraid to post their games on Steam as they are shredded with negative reviews 1 second after launch
>Steam charges you for bandwidth while downloading games
>Each update to games costs money
>Steam now has a monthly fee
>Windows Store has broken through
>Sony has created their own store distributing games on Windows

muh feelings: the post

Not a clinical death no, but see it as the Steam you once knew has died and become something else. What grade of autism are you possessing?

droll.

if you are trying to spin your inability to make a point this way, steam has died several times already, first when they decided it was more than a service platform for valve games, then when they decided that they would offer their direct competitors access, then when they allowed basically anyone, etc.

seriously, YOU insinuating other people have autism? Hilarious.

Y-you j-just d-don't understand m-me

Yeah this, this is the date of when a lot of the important people left.

This. But rather for Steam Wallet and microtransactions.
I'm still mad at Valve for killing TF2 with the Manconnomy update.
