As a day one adopter with my day one half life two purchase, I want valve to reign with an iron fist for a thousand thousand years.,(reply>), Let's still hold them accountable for all their fuck ups... Which there are quite a few of.,(reply>), @Tcid EH I just hope Valve can fix their inefficiency productivity inside the company.<br>Because that company in the inside is just a mess of employees allowed to do whatever they want, resulting in some of their products got stagnated because no one wants to work on it.,(reply>), @Djuntas but, the problem is they're not the only player in town, and they're not forcing you to serve them. You could make your own store, but good luck getting consumer through that.<br><br>Valve just want to be fair for both consumer and developer.<br>Developers wants that cut to be reduced but that cut is not only goes straight to Valve's wallet, but also spent on features that community uses.<br><br>If only Valve make their cut as a plan where you get 30% cut and you're getting all of Steam features, or reduced cut but you could only get limited features. Sure it would make developers happy, but I think that would backlash to them and make their fans angry since they are not getting the same experience like other games do.,(reply>), So that you can finally see Half Life 3?,(reply>), Yea, this is the duality of man...Well business. We all want good shit, but then it becomes the only choice eventually, which can also lead to bad products and stagnation or a bad deal for dev's in some cases, if they cant negotiate less than 30% cut.
