CDProjekt had made 11 games and is worth $5B. Valve has made 29 games, has a distribution service, and is now selling consoles and is worth $7B. Why is this fricking homosexual trying so hard to pivot away from making games when that's clearly where the money is? If Valve had put all its resources into being the best game company in North America, it would be worth $20B by now.

Valve was never good.
>X was never good
>Le Reddit Iconoclasm for appeal to novelty
Frick you onions
False. Until about 10 years ago, it was unmatched in AAA game development.
Valve practically dominated PC long before Steam even existed.
name a better game than OG tf2
>money money money its all about money
you may be in for a shock, but artists do things for the love of the art an not how much shit they can buy
Valve literally abandoned art to be cold businessmen, and it STILL fricked them over. That's the whole point of the post.
This was pretty much all the fault of Doug Lombardi who was responsible for killing projects for 10+ years. In the 'making-of' for Half Life Alyx they talk about a manager who had to be taken back and told to shut up because he wouldn't stop shitting on the game during development. It's all but proven it was Lombardi.
>Doug Lombardi
>Valve’s vice president of marketing
If true why is marketing always the one's ruin games for the sake of money?
>he wants Valve to become soulless for profit corpo instead of kino experimental creatividad
Valve never stops making games. They just scrap most of them because valve employees have zoomer attention span and can quit projects at any time.
Yeah, microtransactions and "you will own nothing" digital-only games. Real creative.
Not all of Valve works on those you spergs. A large portion of the employees work on experimental projects that often go nowhere. Left 4 Dead 3 was made and scrapped and Half-Life 3 went through multiple unsuccessful iterations already.
Valve is not publicly traded, so that $7B figure is not really an accurate estimate.
It could actually be lower than 7B.
>where that's clearly where the money is?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA moron ALERT
Hey you fricking moron maybe when you turn 18 and get a JOB you'll learn how money and investment works but since you're clearly struggling I'll help you out this time sport!
99% of what goes into the valuation of a company is the amount that gets put into them by private investors. Valve is not a publicly traded company so people and other corporations can not invest in them through a stock exchange. This is the only reason why valve is only valued at $7 billion. Because they don't let other corporations pump up their value by dumping their cash into their stock
>Because they don't let other corporations pump up their value by dumping their cash into their stock
Meds.
backed into a corner, consider yourself OWNED
I think Valve doesn't even have public financials. But they probably have a massive amount of liquid assets they can burn as much as they please since they have total control over the PC market. They have the money to do risky shit and probably suffer little consequence for doing it.
CDProjeckt probably has massive liabilities to investors and will probably flounder if they don't push out heavily marketed games to their audiences.
>oh nooooo we only have 7 billion while we could have had 20 billion
>anyway, hey, Steve, what about that new game? any progress?
, I added a couch prop but I didn't like the colors so I didn't get anything done this week
>No problem. Hey, let's go have an extra long lunch it's Friday it's not like it's worth the bother anymore. Oh, and have you guys figured out a place for our company vacation this year?
gabe is a smart guy he's just not so much a game designer i guess because he took the if you can't beat them join them in terms of convenience with steam and it landed a
jack-pot he could piss away a mil or 2 a year on making the best half life but no
Apples and oranges, man. CDProjekt is a publically traded company, thus its net worth is blown up due to stock market speculation and the "everything bubble". In comparison, Valve is a private company and its reported worth is actual worth. CDP's worth can crash and burn with a single Elon Musk tweet, Valve's cannot.
Publicly traded companies can be UNDERVALUED just as much as they can be overvalued.
Why can't Valvetards just admit their company has wasted its potential?
Making games takes effort.
>Why is this fricking homosexual trying so hard to pivot away from making games when that's clearly where the money is?
Cause he doesnt want to make games?
He does. He just has trauma and anxiety about it because of Valve's experience making HL1 and 2.
valve is worth a lot more than that moron.
Valve is worth over 40B.
I don't even like Valve.
