- Comment on Amanda Watson, the engineer who pioneered the AirLink and several other technologies for Oculus, was hired at Valve. 1 week ago:
I agree with the sentiment, and I’m sure Valve are one of the better companies to work for, so I’m happy for her…
But Valve aren’t small.
They ARE the PC gaming industry. They generate billions in revenue and control something like 75% of the global PC distribution market. I know they keep trying to sell themselves as just a small company, because they’re a small internal team, but I really wish they’d snap out of it and scale up a bit to match their market. Especially when talking about their hardware side. I live in New Zealand, and the number of conversations I’ve had with people who have gone to some pretty extreme lengths to get a hold of Valve hardware is ridiculous. I’m not even talking about the new stuff, I mean the damn Steam Deck. I find it incredibly frustrating to hear people refer to them as a small company. Jolla is a small company. Valve is not.
Anyway, sorry, /rant

I kinda want the opposite. I want official alerts only. NewRandomYouTubeGamerX64_L33tSauce’s opinion on “What a good price for the Steam Machine would be, and 10 reasons it won’t be that price” really doesn’t interest me. Has Valve said anything new? No? Then kindly STFU.
