    I sometimes feel an anxiety when pondering what will happen when daddy Gabe isn’t here to keep the wolves at bay.

              The Beta Tester position at Valve is a high-turnaround job just because of all the accidental deaths.

              Cave Johnson: “Gamers are all about immersion, and have asked us to make a peripheral device that lets them feel the game even more. Our engineers just designed a monitor with a gun in it that shoots the player when they are shot in game. The legal department tells me this isn’t technically legal.”

      Honestly, I’ve been weaning myself off Steam for awhile now. It’s great what they did to make PC gaming more accessible, but I also feel like Steam itself is an unnecessary dependency for most video games.

      There should be protocols that games can implement to integrate with launchers and organize playing online.

      That’s my fear too , whoever gets their hand on valve will decide the future of pc gaming kinda , I just hope it won’t get sold to ea , riot , tencent or whatever
