dat clickbait

i want to buy valve too!

They don't respond to my e-mails offering a sack of potatoes for the company though

Maybe if Amazon whore itself at 0,50 cents a blow job, maybe in a hundred years they have money to buy Valve.

The US would run out of coins before that ever happened.

Amazon's net worth is about twenty times that of Valve. Adding in what Gabe wants to make, costs for selling the company... even for Amazon, that's not a modest sum.

 

[Metro]

Amazon has more than enough to buy Valve. But why would Gabe sell? He's a billionaire and it's pretty obvious he loves running the company.

 

[Caim]

Yeah, Gabe's in the spot where offering him a shitload of money won't work because he already has a shitload of money.

 

[Outlander]

When he dies, though...

 

[Dr Tomo]

Actually Amazon is so damn rich they just entered into the cell phone market with their shit phone and it did not make the roi back and investors aren't phased in the slightest. I am also highly doubtful that Gabe would sell Valve unless they paid a huge premium which I am skeptical Amazon will do since they aren't that desperate. Amazon already has their own platform and they have the resources to push into the market like they have done with their phone and be a player.

Maybe it will be less shitty when Amazon buys it?

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Maybe Amazon will go all BobbyKotick on Valve and force them to release a Half-Life game annually.

 

[pippin]

Amazon sells stuff without DRM-at least their digital music seems to be DRM-free. I wonder if that could create some kind of conflict between Amazon and Valve. But other than that I don't think they would change Steam that much.

Maybe you'll be less shitty... nah, never happen.

 

[Azazel]

Is this where we post the shit that makes us think Steam has finally become a laughing stock?

Laissez-faire free market failure detected.

Fuck you GabeN, I AM NOT BUYING PIXEL PIRACY so stop fucking sending me 15 discount coupons for the same shitty game every week, you asshole!!

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Valve stopped sending me coupons for Pixel Piracy. Instead they keep extending their vaildity date. Last time I checked they were supposed to expire Oct. 15th.

*checks*

"Valid until April 15th 2015"

Fuck, Half-Life 3 will be out before those coupons expire.

So, refresh your store pages, everyone.

Thoughts?

Fake edit: They've replaced "New Releases" with "Popular New Releases". That's interesting.

Obviously, Codex needs to become a Curator. I would have nominated MHC for this function, but alas, he is no longer with us. Who is a bad enough dude to fight the good fight with their Steam recommendations?

My thoughts exactly when I read that page!

Create a new Steam Community group, or use an existing group that you are an officer or moderator of. You can use the group to make recommendations as yourself, or you can use the group to allow multiple individuals to represent an organization.

So, it can be a group of us. How long can a recommendation be? Maybe we can just copy-paste our Codex reviews to an official Codex group. Though I suspect most people wouldn't read them that way - an abridged version would be better.

What a fucking joke, every update is worse than the previous one, whether it is some stupid shit like badges or attempts to modernize the look of the site.

It looks like a giant, unhelpful mess. There are three different parts of the site dedicated to suggestions. GOG Galaxy couldn't have came at a better time

Don't be overly butthurt just because it's different. This update adds some essential stuff previously available only in "Steam Enhanced" browser extensions. Like FUCKING BEING ABLE TO SEE THAT YOU OWN A GAME before entering its store page. Also, a convenient look at a game's rating (positive, mixed, negative) when you search.
