whats next for his career & valve?

Tricking some more kids into gambling.

More of the same, they work as the premier PC game store that skims off microtransactions.

heart attack, leaving valve to some businessman who introduces shitty policies to steam, effectively holding millions of people's game libraries hostage

it will happen, and it's the main reason GOG is so popular right now

So nothing will change?

>>379700478
You have it wrong. Gabe won't die, he will implement the cash grab policies himself, publicly talking about them and drawing all blame to himself.

Then he will acquiesce to the calls for him to resign, when really he had planned to do so anyway.

Paid mods

>>379700697
This, Gabe has said many times he'd like to try paid mods again.

>>379700554
things can always get worse sweet summer child

>>379700170
Retire rich and die, leave Valve to some master jew.

'paid mods' but called something more pr-friendly like 'modder compensation'

last time, towards the tail end they tried to make it about the modders, the poor modders who they desperately want to be paid for their work!

just like they wanted dota workshop artists to be paid, right? https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/62991t/the_dota_2_workshop_and_its_ecosystem_are_dying/

>>379701012
well if a modder would rather work for free, that's up to them. Im a modder and I appreciate being paid, so Im with valve

You would literally get more if you just took donations off Nexus.

>>379701012
They're probably gonna pull something like those Patreons, you get the new releases first by subscribing. And people will fall for it.

>>379701401
Go make an actual game on your own then, mods shall remain free.

>>379701875
i make mods and games. if you dont like my mods, then dont buy them faggot

>>379701670
or i could do both and increase my profits

>>379702047
>i make mods and games
You must do a shit job as dev if you still need to charge for mods then.

>then dont buy them faggot
You don't say, no game that is worth supporting has paid mods and faggots charging for mods anyway, you fucking cancer.

>>379700270
i wish Activision and Blizzard convinces other companies to sell their games on the Battle net store, so Valve gets BTFO

>>379700170
At this point he pretty much retired already except he keeps being around because his name alone helps Steam.

>>379702629
People would still buy the Steam version. It'd only force Valve to be less stupid.

>>379700478
There's a Steam emulator that allows you to effectively bypass your Steam DRM.

>>379700478
Delusional GOGdrone.

>>379700697
It's not like developers even make their games easy to mod

Obviously the non-ape

>>379700170
I hope he dies painfully

>>379702965
For the games that are exclusive to Steam, I do this, otherwise I just buy from GOG or HumbleBundle.
