Three years of the best shot in the arm that Linux gaming has gotten in .. I don't know but a long time.

An absolute brilliant strategy on Valve's behalf and the benefits to Linux gaming in general have been enormous. Keep it up Valve, whatever you do, don't stop!

In economics, productivity is a measure of how much output is produced with a given set of inputs.

Soooo.... we're going to increase productivity.... while also employing more people?....

That's pretty much the definition of reduced productivity. Unless he thinks we're also going to somehow sell even more games and products. Sounds like the kind of nonsense you feed investors. "Yes we're going to hire more people, and we're going to make more games, faster, and sell more of them, and have even higher profit, and there's going to be a pony, and a rainbow, and everyone's pets are going to come back to life!" Sure Zelnick.

Artificial intelligence is an oxymoron

No. It isn't. I don't know when it happened, but somewhere along the line, people started pronouncing "Artificial" to sound like "Actual" I guess and got confused. But the word Artificial does mean "fake". The whole concept of this term "ARTIFICIAL Intelligence" is that the intelligence isn't real. We use the word Artificial Intelligence in the same way we use the term "Fake Grass". Fake grass is not an oxymoron. It's grass that is fake! Artificial intelligence is not an oxymoron, it's intelligence that is fake!

"Artificial Hearts" are not hearts. "Artificial Lakes" are not lakes. "Artificial Flowers" are not flowers. This isn't an oxymoron.

You would think someone from the games industry, which has been using the term artificial intelligence going back to the 80s and 90s to describe game character behaviour, would realise that!

I honestly just appreciate that after all these years that Valve is still focusing on, finding and improving the little things, and still improving the core functionality of Steam, aka, buying, managing and launching games.

Fantastic.

Looking at the trend over time, it's clearly maintaining steady growth, so we're heading in the right direction, given enough time we might even see 3%.

What would we do without Valve

Staying steady above 2% is a very good sign. Lets hope we can gain a bit more marketshare and end the year above 2.5%. Maybe even hit 3% if we're lucky.

Blender is OP!

Been looking forward to this new version of Eevee for a while. It's a complete rewrite and the new version removes so many of the limitations that Eevee used to have. It reduces the gap between Cycles and Eevee down to something so narrow.

HUGE update.

Valve, often periods of odd silence, followed by intense periods of time when they seemingly work creepily fast at something. Never change Valve! You're fine, I see you and appreciate you.

YASSSSSSSS!~
I've been saying for YEARS that they need to add this! It makes too much sense, they already had all the pieces in the software, like video capture, video encoding, taking screenshots, overlay etc. It was such a small leap to make, to go from that to video recording.

It's going to make recording stuff from games so much easier.

If you're in Australia my recommendation would be to buy it from Kogan
