Fun fact, Tencent (Chinese conglomerate) owns about 40% of Epic. Ubisoft also tried adding blockchain tech/NFTs to their games to manage cosmetic items, which is stupid on multiple levels, IMO, especially since you can't actually transfer them outside of their closed ecosystem. Valve has the breathing room to do what they want. Their cash cow of Steam helps them out A LOT, since they don't even need to make games anymore. Instead, they've invested into what they think benefits the future of gaming. Who else in the games industry would make a non-locked-down VR headset, or work on anything Linux-related? Maybe indies, if they had the money. Valve will probably make HL3 at some point, but last I heard, it was an idea waiting for the right tech. I'd rather it stay that way if it makes it better.
