Quoting: dorronIt's time they finish and release it...if they want to keep making changes, they can do it afterwards.

It's absurd how long it's taking them to release this game.

Entitled much?

Having paid for a product that after so many years is unfinished and buggy entitles all buyers to reclaim either a finished product or a refund, yes.

You bought an early access game, knowing that it could take ages to be finished or not even finished at all. Wanting to make changes later... why should they do that? They just want to release a product that's up to some standards. And they aren't a big game studio.

In The Valley of Gods - Campo Santo - Possibly not in 2019

Is it correct to say that it's by Campo Santo? Because it's a Valve game now :P

They're still the developer.

But Valve bought the studio. Campo Santo doesn't really exist anymore.

Well the Steam store page still states it's Campo Santo and just because they joined Valve doesn't mean they automatically take Valve's name.

But if you go on the Valve homepage [External Link] they list ITVOG as one of their own games. The guys work at Valve HQ. Other people from Valve might even have joined the team. It's a Valve game :P

Quoting: NeverthelessAnd once it's there, why shouldn't people buy Epic exclusives there? Why not purchase games cheaper on Epic? It will not defeat Steam, but it can hurt it.

Because of principles? :>

I was just thinking of a version of myself that had less principles regarding exclusives and OS. What would that person do?
I certainly would keep all my Steam games, and add at least some exclusives from other stores.
People generally seem to not like many stores, but install them nonetheless, if they think it's worth it.

I won't do that. Steam is my console. One friends list. One ingame overlay. One launcher for everything. One unified experience. I just want to boot my PC and play a game. Fragmentation isn't customer friendly. There are many examples for that.

Quoting: GuestI do not get this article.

Even i, whom i consider rather clueless about windows, had heard windows being called an open platform because anyone could develop and sell what he or she wanted on it. It was clear from the start he was thinking mainly about windows and eventually other not so closed down commercial platforms.

But they said they will aim for OTHER open platforms. They are ALREADY on Windows. So that doesn't make any sense.

Quoting: LeerdeckLet's be real here. Valve doesn't support Linux because they believe that the year of the Linux desktop is coming. Nobody does that. Valve does this because of cloud-streaming gaming that someday in the far future will be a available alternative. Because if you run a big server farm you don't want use Windows licenses. Every major publisher will someday port their games to Linux but only for their own server farms. Valve will not stop supporting Linux infrastructure because they don't really care about Linux desktop end users. That we profit from it is just a really nice side effect and we provide test results + bug reports.

No more calls, we've got a winner! I think this is much closer to the truth than anything else I've read or heard elsewhere. I think Valve has been telegraphing this quite clearly in their focus on Streaming technology, and is one of the reasons I believe the Link went away. Google seems like they are on the verge of a Streaming gaming service themselves. NVIDIA is already in the space. It's the best way Valve maintains their advantage: By having a technology that everyone else will have to spend a fortune to develop, being able to implement that more cheaply than others via their Linux expertise, and leveraging their existing library. We users beta test Proton and win. Quite right. Makes a lot more sense than "new Steam Machines!"

I'm not exactly sure, but didn't Gabe once say something like that he's not a fan of those Streaming plattforms? And the Steam Link didn't go away. The little box, yes. But not the concept. In-Home Streaming is completely different from pure Streaming from a consumer standpoint. One is good, the other isn't.
