GS:David Politis from Xi3 talks about the partnership with Valve.
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?
Could be fun to try if it's not priced that high.
thats not the steambox i seen that from last year its just a computer
I was kinda afraid of this - the "high-end" Xi3 could easily be built for around 500 bucks instead of "$999." I understand it's basically shrunk-down technology, but still. This makes me believe SteamBox could be around $699 or less when revealed. The cards are in Valve's hands now to see if they can tap into the Steam user's wants to get one of these. If it's not comparable to a next-gen console in price/performance, then it's not going to be worth at all.
o_O thats the steam box? well thats certainly was not what i was expecting
