Fanboying is how we're going to get Disney-Activision-Valve.
They acquired titles and they automated profits. So pretty much the private version of a public company. Nothing at all to be proud of--especially after this horrible decade of PC gaming where indie teams had to pick up the slack with asset flips and low budget shitters. Console sales are now at an all time high.
We ran out of comparisons and only have their own mediocrity to examine at this point, but we could go the route of comparing them to failed companies who refused to adapt, like "NAH WE'RE GOOD" Blockbuster.
WePlay, Epic, Microsoft, Blizzard, Uplay. Less than a 1/4 of the 100 million PC gamers are on steam during peak western hours. The monopoly platform model is out with WePlay entering the arena, everyone else realized this and is prepared to hit hard with the 2020 releases.
Valve doesn't have much time to turn it around, and with how frugal they've been with development, I'd have a hard time believing that they will float the company once the steam money is compromised.
They have no current catalog, so they are already starting miles behind--coupled with the fact that their s2 guys wont play well with others--nothing short of a purge and a return to top down will save them.
