    And damn near every single Google effort into the games space has failed except for android games, which ride on the enormous platform install. Their latest effort was a joke - stadia was DOA.

    I respect valve because they’ve provided indie game devs with the same distribution AAA studios get, they’ve never asked for exclusivity and did tons of uncompensated VR pioneering (remember Abrash and co were Valve before Oculus) and never once tried to ‘own’ vr. And they’re a private company, so that means the decisions - and investments - they’ve made worked out enough to free them of a board dicking shit up.

    Keep going, Valve. I don’t like everything they do, but overall they’re a gem in value added.
