Unlike his other products, it’s not powered by Steam.

        Let us have this one. Steam is the only thing in the world that hasn’t enshittified yet.

          It doesn’t take much for it to happen though. They could change their license agreement with users from one day to the next.

            They could, but they haven’t yet.

      I mean…

      Do you want to live in a world where there’s brain chips, or one where one of the companies making brain chips is owned by Gabe?

      He has said that he’ll release HL3 when technology is ready for it.

      I wonder if this is what he had in mind.

    Do we kinda like this guy or is he just another Elon but yet to achieve his final form ?

      I think over the last 20 years enough evidence came up to support the idea that he is indeed a decent guy.

      There is no such thing as a good (or likeable) billionaire. Forbes says Newell has a net worth of $9.5 billion US dollars. Imagine all the good he could do with that money (with regards to hunger, poverty, access to medicine, education) but instead he uses it to do stupid shit like this.

      As far as I know he’s not a Nazi like Leon so he’s got that going for him I guess.

        And you realize that to access that money he would have to sell valve/steam?

          Which would probably quite quickly turn it shit.

      His company got a bunch of kids addicted to gambling, so who can really say?

          Only one of those is even a Valve game. Counter-Strike, obviously.

      Gabe is mostly good, at least as far as uber wealthy goes. Maybe some stuff I’m unaware of though

      Far better than most but Valve has some controversy with gambling and CS and stuff

      Sadly i’d say both can be true at once, though there are less red flags that with Elno

    Wait, this shit is becoming something real? Not just an advertising trick or something? But who fuck is going to lend that crap of dystopia Cyberpunk shabby?

      There are legitimate uses for this. People with neurological conditions, spinal injuries, etc. Would I sign up for this? Now? No. Am I willing to say the same in 30 years? I can’t give a solid answer on that.

    We’ll see how these things work out long term
