They said SteamBox will be coming out after 4 months and it's E3 after 3 month . Will they be revealing SteamBox and Half Life 3 as launch title at E3 .? IF they did that they gonna kick some fucking ass .

Oh and Company of Heroes 2 new release date is announced . It's June 25th .

@Cloud_imperium Even with their own system, I'm still hoping and praying that I can continue the Half Life series on a standard PC, PS3 or PS4. I hope Valve doesn't go all stingy with it's platform releases...

@robertcain @Cloud_imperium Of course it will be on PC . SteamBox is basically go figures ... a PC for living room .

Man I wish I could work for or run a company like Valve, Google, Pixar or any other company that seems to have the same kind of attitude towards it's employees. These places seem like the dream companies to work for or be part of.

@Halloll @WARRAWx Yes they are, and leading in terms of numbers. Describing my meaning runs deep in Valves potential in the future and their determination to improve their games and impress the gamers. At the end of the day, EA doesn't have the same expression in creativity that Valve represents!

"We wanted to see what our customers wanted us to do"


That right there is why Valve is the best and one of the most highly respected companies in the world.

"the user that plays generates value" -

This is the one thing that other big publishers have no understanding of. They hold on to an old style of thinking, while Valve keeps innovating.

Valve has not only created games and tools but also in steam created a bridge in the PC gaming space between gamers, developers, modders, and gamers themselves, which no other gaming company to date has been able to accomplish. I have immense respect for this company and how it conducts its business.

Short-sighted users may see steam as only DRM, but those who see the value in the community Valve has created know better.
