This article is pure clickbait. But eventually Gabe is going to die. And when that day happens we are going to see Valve either transform into a foundation, or become everything that it had resisted through its entire life. Gabe is a stand-up guy. No question.

His successors, are not going to be Gabe. They're going to chipaway at his philosophy. It's only a matter of time

If Valve was a publicly traded company, Steam would have turned to shit ages ago.

No, Microsoft Probably Isn’t Going To Buy Valve

Clickbait.

A terrible idea for whom? Microsoft? I think not.

[–] s12@sopuli.xyz 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would. There’d hopefully be an exodus.

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

There most definitely wouldn't be. No one cares.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Been plenty of exoduses from MS lately. Oh! You mean ones led by the employees...

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No exoduses that I'm aware of. Show me.

Lmao they laid off 1900 from Activision Blizzard last year and shuttered multiple XBox game studios this month! Sure, I suppose they could all just hang around and work as volunteers, but I suspect they'll be doing that exodus thing.

Mass firing is not an exodus. Exodus is when people are fleeing, and generally in terms of liberation. Firing people is just firing people

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No definition I've ever heard requires an exodus to be initiated by the people leaving. Also, if you read the comment that started all this, I was explicit that I didn't mean employee-led. So thanks for stopping by weeks later to display your ignorance and/or lack of reading comprehension.

Someone on the internet hasn't heard it so that must be wrong then!

Save your saltiness for 9gag, friend. I saw that you specifically wrote that but you also continued using exodus in the first sense, as the one you replied to did. But you just wanted to be snarky to that person I guess.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

It's okay buddy, your definition of exodus was wrong. Just let it go.

As for the rest, I made a sarcastic comment based entirely on fact, they asked for proof of my statement, I gave them everything they needed to verify it. I'm sorry if my comment was too harsh for your sensibilities, but if that's the worst you've heard on Lemmy, them I'm glad for you.
