Before you even begin to read this you are probably asking yourself, why in the world would console manufacturers EVER allow Steam to be available and take away from the limited digital downloads they already sell? I agree, it sounds crazy. But, take a step back and think about this for a second.
Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.
First they open Steam up to more AI, now they are shutting down fan projects when at one time they used to support or even give the fans jobs.
Wonder what's going on with Valve at the minute.
There's potential that Valve had already planned to bring Source 2 to TF2 officially after Counter Strike 2. It's been getting some renewed attention lately.
You got Nintendo to thank for Portal64 being taken down. As for TF2, most likely it's due to the probability of Valve working on a source 2 port themselves. It's sucks but Nintendo are the biggest pricks in the business and not letting this drag out into a huge court drama is the best decision.
Valve has updated its stance on AI games on the Steam storefront, allowing creators to publish AI-created games.
Hell no. I want games that have been made by creative minds who have a passion for their craft, not a bot with a penchant for plagiarism.
So instead of paying for an engine and assets to create a game they are paying for an engine and assets to create a game.
Valve has officially warned against inhaling the Steam Deck vent fumes in an official response due to potential health hazards.
Wow people will huff anything nowadays some people just have way too much time on their hands.
Another reason to love the PlayStation Portal, no chance of breathing in noxious vapors.
Get a Steam Deck they said, to which I reply, what are you high?
would make sense to those who own pc's. to be able to play the same game on a console and a pc, might just work.
Aint it comin to the PS3?
No. There is literally zero chance that Steam will ever be on consoles.
Why would Sony or Microsoft allow Valve, a third party company to essentially steal a large chunk of their profits? Steam is a marketplace for PC games, what good would that do on consoles?
Besides, Valve are already working on a more console-like experience for Steam and is rumoured to have PC to TV streaming capabilities so you can run the game on your PC, and play it from your couch.
I think, assuming this Valve/Sony partnership blooms a little bit, we might see this in the future. As for the 360, definitely not. Microsoft will never team with Steam (Games for Windows Live...look it up).
very crazy
and steam isnt coming to any console. Only steamworks that links accounts and stats and stuff
