Gabe Newell made Steam after going "f*** these publishers" due to the broken relationship with Half-Life publisher Sierra, Counter-Strike co-creator says

Steam is a bright spot in the ever-increasingly bleak tech landscape.

If I had my way I'd be filling my house with big box physical games. But seeings that was never on the cards, you can't deny that Steam was the best thing to happen to PC gaming.

Players on other platforms are going to become super jealous of it. Forget the hardware and it's still everything the console stores should be but never will.

Imagine what gaming would look like without steam, thank goodness
