Half-life 3 will not be exclusive to Steam OS

Well yeah, if somebody dislikes something they're going to consider it to be crap.

Why doesn't it surprise me that you think like that? Just because you dislike something doesn't mean it's "crap".

There are things I dislike but don't consider them to be crap, and there are things that I like that I know are crap (hot dogs).
 
Half life is no longer relevant in the gaming world.

Unless they pulled something revolutionary out of the bag it would only end up being just another shooter with a story most gamers these days either dont know or dont care about.
 
Where does Half Life 3 get mentioned at all?

I say we take Boomstick777's boomstick and beat him to the point of a permaban with it.
 
It wouldn't make sense for them to launch it exclusively on their own os. The amount of money they'd lose out on would be unreal.

Haha, thanks guys :/ I only copied the link title, I thought it was a good thing that Valve won't be making SteamOS only games..
 
Whilst I like Valve's ideals I can't help but wonder if it's really something that will take off with any other developers... How much are exclusivity deals worth to developers? (assuming the console manufacturers pay them for exclusivity - or am I being a dummy?) It's got to be a significant enough amount to make it worthwhile being exclusive - so for example you take Sony's PS3/4 exclusivity deal because you'll make enough out of it to more than offset the sales you've lost by not developing for the Xbox and PC... and save a little in development costs because you only have to make + optimise the code for one system...

If so then Valve are essentially asking these developers to take a chance on spending a bit more on developing for multiple platforms with no extra incentive and hope that their title is successful enough on all of them...
 
This thread was like seeing a hottie in the distance, running over only to find a lady boy :-(
