Over the weekend, Hideki Kamiya—director of Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and Bayonetta—was asked over twitter about his opinion of Valve, Steam, and PC gaming in general. He responded thusly.
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.
I mean, that might explain the Team Fortress 2 thing, because Valve might bring that to Source 2 (though I'm not sure I'd bet on that), but I can't see how Portal 64 hurts them. If anything, it's more attention to the Portal and therefore Valve/Steam.
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.
I read the headline to my girl and she even reacted wtf is wrong with people. People wild
I feel bad for her that she can't read and needs you to do it for her. Keep your head up!
This has nothing to do with generations. It’s not a stupid challenge or anything. People just happened to smell it while they were playing. The steam deck exhaust is easy to smell without even trying. Just playing it you’ll smell it in the air around you.
"tHiS gEErAtIoN"
It's every generation, today you just see it more clearly thanks to internet.
To be fair, I loved the smell of glue, gas and certain plastics as a kid (new disc cartridges/new hardware, anyone?)
I actually take a whiff of it once in a while, it's funny that it smells so good lol
"tHeSe DaYs"
People have been just as dumb in the past, you just see it clearly now thanks to the internet.
Well good thing about dumb people, they play an important part in human history. How else do we know which plants, animals and foods ar dangerous? Dumb people! They pay the price so the rest of us don’t have to. Lol
Honestly, I'm not even surprised considering some of the people I come across these days, inhaling fumes would explain a lot of things.
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?
Even the Steam Deck does streaming better than the Portal (they portal is capped for streaming for some reason, whereas the Steam Deck isn't).
imagine pretending a glorified streaming device is better than a stand alone unit that can also, stream.
Better than the Switch cartridges is my guess.
Just to be clear, I've never licked a Switch cartridge, nor have I inhaled my deck's fumes.
Same never licked a switch cart I've always been worried more about where it's been than the taste but
It smells good, that's the problem lol. When I first turned mine on I noticed it 😅
Better stop sniffing it then.
I've had my deck for over a year, I've never been compelled to put my nose near the vent for a good lungful 😂
Kind of like cheap bacon cooking. Even cheap bacon smells good.
I'm not surprised since PC gaming isn't strong in Japan
Kotaku again. Sigh...
I think it's kinda cool to have a developers having no clue about the business side and just doing their thing.
Poor Kamiya
those people have nothing but catching word from him so they can create a stupid articles
