  • People generally loving, generally hating.

    Valve is not that good if you take your time to realize few things more, Valve is not that bad if you take time to realize few things more.

    For example, you can’t say that Ubisoft can be that bad if you take a look at the industrial grade artistic output (allow you travel and interact with artistically astonishing worlds).

    But when you check side as business entity, you can see everything is set up to please share holders and people that don’t even know “what’s a minecraft?”.

    Valve knows how, when and why they mess with their customers. Ubisoft is just clueless about their gamer-customers because they known only theirs shareholders-customers.









  • The “Valve good guy” points are noto just with customers, they also don’t mess with publishers, otherwise you wouldn’t see this much AAA publishers get in business with Valve so easily.

    Epic gives literally money for free to publishers, but due to lack of “good guy points” (after all they bribe publishers: publishers are happy to get bribe money, but once you fail their demand… they shit all over you: see Randy Pitchfork’s latest comments on Epic) publishers are quick to forget them (despite much more convenient cut share).

    TL;DR: if Valve annoy publishers, publishers take away the “Valve good guy” point.




  • I see this game mentioned repeatedly over the meme-brink, but it’s that relevant in the PC scope? Because I am beginning to think only people who had already played on PS4 care about it: it looks like the “I use Arch, btw” meme (a random guy repeated that make clear they use a product/thing… which nobody ask them about).

    Bloodborne sold ~7million copies in the span of ~7 years ( ref ), for comparison a game like Sekiro (while not forgotten, you don’t see random people jumping out and say “I played/want Sekiro btw”) sold 10 million in ~4 years ( ref )
