Why not subcontract to an external game development house? Just license the IP to someone who is interested in developing games instead of just running a game platform.
An external dev house could also side-step any cultural/NIH issues. Valve is basically married to the Source game engine, but it is far, far behind what Unreal Engine is capable of these days. A third party with Unreal experience could whip up a gorgeous-looking Portal or Half Life game, and not have to have arguments with Valve insiders about which game engine is being used.

- jiggawatts 4y agoBut nothing like Nanite and Lumen. There's just no comparison.
- deadly_syn 4y agoWont argue against that, every tool has its own unique benefits!
