it doesn't just do nothing, it sticks to its core idea : we can't do as much as the community can when it comes to making games, how do we maximise the community's possible output?

People love to shit on valve working on lootboxes, but I was there to see how it developed. It was there as part of a way of getting money back to the people making stuff, which is why a shitload of the TF2 hats came from the community and steam workshop. The system came from a left wing greek economist, before , you know, he BECAME Minister of Finance for greece (for half a year)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanis_Varoufakis

This is why they have steam OS, steam greenlight, SFM, etc etc.

Valve doesn't make games anymore, because they know hobbyists can make shitloads of more games than them, they need a platform to shove them into.

Also, the other goal is to improve and extend the PC gaming space, which is why they are working on SteamOS, the deck, and all the other shit they are working on. Because of the work they put into making steam work to make game distrobution better than piracy (LITERALLY said by Gabe), PC releases became synonymous with "Steam", which is why whenever you have a game announcement, you get "New game : Available on (XboxLogo : PS5Logo : SteamLogo)"

Valve is doing stuff. Just not, you know, making HL3 or nothing.

In a service business, if you do things right, people think you're doing nothing.

It's probably my favorite depiction of god in any media. Obviously if you think about it the whole premise falls apart and he's a huge dick but in the context of the episode it's pretty cool beans

haha yeah, he/it was kind of a dick

Bender: You know, I was God once.

God: Yes, I saw. You were doing well until everyone died.
