By the time H3 comes out your great great great grand children will be reminiscing about how games once were about gameplay and plot and not the 100th version of Call of Duty or Assassins Creed. I'd say Madden too but let's face it no one will play it 150 years from now unless it's VR.
Nah, I'm willing to bet HL3 will come out (at the latest) 5 years after Gaben's death. Not because he's witholding it, obviously, but because whoever comes next will probably try to make as much money as possible and that's an easy first way to do it.
It's gonna suck when Steam immediately enshitifies to the max after he dies.
Yeah, fully expecting that to happen. I wish that guy a long and healthy life and there isn't an ounce of altruism in that statement.
Any containment plans for when Steam joins the club of shit eventually?
I thought the same thing about touchscreens when they first came out. I really did think they were the future of gaming. Seemingly limitless buttons in limitless combinations. Touch and drag game pieces directly, action and vision in the same place.
Turns out gaming on mobile is shit. So so shit.
Maybe VR will end up the same way. Its pretty neat now while its still new and shiny, but maybe it never actually reaches potential.
