Remember when Valve fully cemented an identity for themselves and revived PC gaming in a single move?

The future looked so bright.

What went wrong?

Steam gave PC an identity when it comes to gaming.

TF2 and DOTA.

They haven't made an original game in over 10 years.

They really have no excuse as to why they haven't concluded the Half Life series yet.

God, TF2 up until it went F2P was excellent. It's still a good game, but damn do I miss the golden years.

This all the games we see ported today from consoles happened because of steam nothing else.

The JRPGs coming to PC are because of steam.

The indie games getting big are because of steam.

Not saying that Valve are the best but they did the right thing at right time to create a proper integrated marketplace.

I think the company just needs some new blood

They got rich, Half life and its sequels were only released to force people into steam.

Why develop a game when they can get rich releasing others peoples unfinished games?
