3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I feel like the gaming community (not this one) worships Valve (too much). (lemmy.ml)

Valve has done some good things for the game industry: they encouraged modifications, and made some good games.

However, I feel as if the gaming community praises Valve too much.

The gaming community praises Valve's monopoly on game distribution services.

That's about it though.

Valve are an important part of the community and at one time released some of the best AAA titles, but valve love makes less sense now as a services and hardware company.

why, they're literally bringing a handheld linux gaming console to the market. that alone is awesome and helping open gaming by leagues and miles. it also helps that gaben is a huge opponent to microsoft.

i do wish they'd make more games. but that's up to their game developers to decide due to their work environment structure, so they decide if they want to make a game or not, and it seems they aren't interested, currently.

Keyword is worship. You could also say Microsoft has done great things with the Xbox or live.

I don't think anyone believes that DirectX has been 'great things' for the industry or players.
