Most of Steam users don't even know who owns Steam. It has over 100 millions of users. This isn't 2010 or so.many of Valve fans stick with Steam because it's not MS.
Steam is a brand, people know their brand. like how PS owners know Sony.Most of Steam users don't even know who owns Steam. It has over 100 millions of users. This isn't 2010 or so.
Imagine a world where everything on steam was part of game pass.
He loves money thoughNo way, Gabe hates Microsoft.
Isn't MS implementing Linux compatibility on Windows? Or so I've heard.Isn’t Valve trying to expand and promote Linux for gaming? Kinda completely at odds with being acquired by Windows.
Had a Linux subsystem for a while now to try and make it more dev friendly and now they are allow gpu hardware to be used better within that subsystem. Microsoft aren't hostile to Linux as much as people think.He loves money though

You saw the tweets just like all of us, a massive acquisition sometime this month, probably Microsoft, if its true or not we shall see.Lol, where do you guys come up with this shit
Why?Not sure I buy this theory/rumor cause I suspect it might cause some issues for Microsoft and the ftc.
What does this even mean?Valve/Steam are private companies, so no they won't.
It might go through. We are seeing bills already trying to fix the ability of platform holders to not monopolise app distribution. Whilst Microsoft could buy Steam and easily work within those bills framework, the visual of a platform holder buying the most successful independent app storefront just doesn't look particularly good.Why?

Sony already locked down that bitchEpic Games
Sony already locked down that bitch
They could just buy the US goverment and put health care and vote rights on gamepass. You heard it here first.Just buy everyone, put everything on gamepass. God of war? Gamepass. New Zelda game? Gamepass. PS6? Rented through gamepass. Netflix? Download through gamepass. Private retirement funds? Requires a gamepass subscription.
Buy Space X too to make Mars colonies gamepass exclusive.
Buy both steam and epic, close the stores down and force everybody to use the windows store.
(Edit. came out too rude. sorry.)What does this even mean?
I don't think this will ever happen but this guy has no idea what he is talking about.
1) gabe is ok with MsGabe would never, ever accept any offer from MS
Valve doesnt need any money. They are filthy rich.
They also wouldnt have the liberty to do their own thing like they do know. To experiment with new tech, launch niche games like Alyx, Steam Deck.
They would also bleed talent. Everyone that works at Valve can do what they want, basicaly. Thats why they have so many talented people doing whatever.
This is not happening. I bet my account. Ban me if so.
Have you seen the current Windows store?Microsoft does a lot more for the UI, features and so on. It could be good, but it could also be bad, and they can't treat Steam like Games for Windows Live.
I think a plane accident is a better way to go than a terminal illness, but that doesn't mean I like either.gabe is ok with Ms
he also said publicly that Xbox series x is better than PS5
he doesn't have to like a console to sell a PC storefront lolI think a plane accident is a better way to go than a terminal illness, but that doesn't mean I like either.
