Poll Has steam/Valve gave up self respect? (30 votes)

Yes 37%
No 63%

My friends, i'm very perturbed. For years I and many have respected Valve. But utterly shocked, I logged into steam minutes ago to see it had alligned itself with the VGA awards, a widely laughed at and criticized PR driven ad event under the guise of awards that has widely shunned pc gaming.

I can't help but feel Valve has lowered there rep by doing this. Who else is disappointing soul?

Don't look at it? I thought you were criticising them for their general lack of games. Now that's a real debate.

Injustice Gods among us = £20 = Tempting.

EDIT : Less than one week already and it's half price.

Are you one of these people that stops liking a band when they get popular also.

Is steam to mainstream for you now???

Just suck it up.

Lack of news and lack of games. Yeah, those are some real reasons for criticizing them.

Valve wanting more money from sales isn't really.

They normally have a lot of reveals at these events. Could this mean we will finally get to see HL3 get announced?

Yeah, it really is terrible that Valve is now signed on with the Video Game Awards awards.

Probably because no one was willing to pay £39.99.

Nah, let us face it, it is weather we like it or not, a great avenue aswell as it can be seen as a decent service, I am not entirely sure how it looks on steam (logging in now, havent been on a few days (Christmas month and all).

But if it is such that all the category titles (that possibly can be on a pc) can be sold for cheaper? Well that is a great way for people with Little Money WHO wants to see what the fuzz was about to click and buy.

If anything it may reduse some of the butthurt always flowing through the web at Awards, and while they can not do it with every GOTY atleast that is a decent target to pick.

That said? lets see how this goes.

Yes. They sold their self respect on eBay and donated the money to charity.

But I was right. It is bad and makes steam look bad. So I'm right, forever.

Cool, Injustice is half off. I'm gonna hold off on getting it though, I just got Mortal Kombat. I wanna play through that first even though I like the DC characters way better.
