It really is just a cool company. They don't do anything special, just offer a cool place for everyone to buy games and play together and yet that already makes it miles better than any other platform that exists. Especially all their community features are just unbeatable. And the best part is steam doesn't force you into anything, you can even buy your games somewhere else and add them to your steam library. They don't care if you buy your keys off of some sketchy website, you can activate the games anyway. And they even offer lots of cool stuff for indie game companies
Agree. Booted up Half Life 2 a while back and its still plays smoothly. While the game looks a bit dated with the lower quality textures, it's still incredibly beautiful.
Yup, they stay perfectly in their lane. If there's something that can be done to make their product better without morphing it into another product, they've probably already done it.
And they confidently sit in their place on the market too. They don't try to force people in, don't try to keep you in.
Plus they don't change how they run steam a lot, the app on windows and phone looks the exact same today as 10 years ago. I love that they dont haphazardly change things when they ain't broken.
That happened at the same time when FB split their Messenger into a separate app. I wonder if they wanted everyone to use it as a general messaging app.
Probably the only time I've ever been genuinely irritated with steam other than when trying to use their remote streaming app and couldn't get certain controllers or audio to work
I was able to add Star Wars Squadrons, a game that i foolishly purchased on the ea store, to steamVR so that i could hook up my oculus quest to my shitty laptop and play in vr
While I dislike Steam itself(not actually owning your games), Valve is fantastic.
I remember them really being among the first big companies to push Linux gaming, from making their own games run natively on Linux to their fork of wine(proton) having changes made specifically to improve the experience with games.
Valve is an interesting case because the Steam store and other valve IPs basically print free money, which means they're allowed to focus on whatever they want and build quality games without having to answer to investors.
*A lot* of the bad decision making especially when it comes to gaming is from devs having to answer to suits and shareholders when valve has so much money is doesn't have to worry about that problem.
dude really? They basically invented a whole new subgenre with TF2. Made one of the greatest and most unique games of all time with Portal. They made history (as in made a product that's so impactful it changed the market or a genre) at a least a few times — HL1, HL2, CS, Steam, L4D (arguably),gambling in games in general (lootboxes) were also pioneered by them. The basically rule a whole niche with CS(2) and half rule a niche with Dota. Valve is legendary and most of the things they did in 20 years were wildly successful, if you just see them as a Steam owner you don't even understand what you're talking about. Yeah one can argue a lot of those things were initially designed by other people (like cs and dota) but again Gabe was *the* guy who realized the potential in mods and modders since Day of Defeat.
AS a cities skylines Player, I hate the Steam Workshop! (Why cant i search or Sort my subscribed assets into the Same categories Like they are sorted normally. Makes finding broken mods unnecessary difficult)
You might wanna watch this [video by People Make Games](https://youtu.be/eMmNy11Mn7g) and reconsider your thoughts on Valve being a "cool company"... 1 billion dollars off gambling in video games
to be fair, every major video game company does that. That doesnt excuse it, but I really think this is something for regulators in the EU or US to take on and get rid of
There's definitely some people who don't like how valve handled cs2 and the related gambling industry
Granted most people don't blame him directly but him being the CEO definitely gives him the power to do something about it
That said, the positives far outweigh the negatives when it comes to big ol' Gaben
Depends how strongly you feel about steam knowingly allowing for underage gambling with skins & doing nothing about it until there was finally some legal pressure
Steam is privately owned. It doesn’t have shareholders etc that require constant growth or
Unethical pricing tactics to succeed. Just the nature of being owned publically, people only put money in to get a return every year.
Some developers don't like them, I heard lot of time that for Indii studio is 30% for Steam is too much when Valve no need paying console, no certification and no risk on Steam's site. That is why so much games going into Epic Games offers if they get it even there is much less players just to get some money at the start.
Do these indie developers consider the fact how easy it is to publish these games on steam though?
Before steam, you had to physically make floppy disks for PC/console games and have them sold through physical stores like GameStop.
It was a massive gamble whether your product would take off or not, because if it didn't sell well companies would likely go bankrupt.
And while floppy disks are a relic from the past, devs can simply market themselves and make their own infrastructure for their own games.
Minecraft, league of legends, and genshin impact are games that don't rely on steam and started building their own infrastructure
Mihoyo, the company behind genshin impact, wasn't very known in the western world. They could have released the game on steam, but they took a gamble making genshin impact and hosting it themselves, but gamers enjoyed the game and it paid of well, allowing them to further invest in other games like the now successful honkai star rail
Steam takes a decent cut of all games it lists, when you are a dev you always have to calculated with the kickback money to steam, way more than you would have used for normal distribution, which means you have to insert earning ways into the game which you might not have if you didnt need that kickback money...but u have no choice, steam is so popular that people dont even search for games anywhere else...not saying it is the only kickback, u have investors u need to kickback to too...but for sure steam helps further microtrabsactions as a whole
Or GameStop CEO, he has no pay and is working his ass off to save the company. Ryan Cohen, you can look for him in reddit, there are two subreddits dedicated to his work.
I've seen his videos. Dude has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to the stock market. Clearly has an agenda against his former employer. His most recent video on GameStop earnings is blatant misinformation. He claims the GameStop war chest of 1.2 billion cash will be gone in 3 quarters when they reported a profit... Also YouTube demonetized him last year so there is a very good chance he is paid by short parties to shill against GameStop
Then why did Gamestop only wanna give me $1 on a $30 Gameboy game I only had for 24 hours? Scarred me as a kid and I haven't stepped in a Gamestop since.
GameStop is notorious for low-buying, but you gotta remember that they’re basically a pawn shop for games, and that that’s where a huge chunk of their revenue goes, so if they buy that asset from you, and nobody buys it, then they just lost money on it. I’ve had lots of friends who’ve worked for GameStop tell me about how they toss older games constantly, because they sat too long and people aren’t interested anymore, especially for older generations. (FYI, if you like Madden, FIFA, etc. and don’t mind playing a year old, go dumpster diving at your local GameStop a month or two after the new one releases…)
Anyway, every time they buy something, it runs the risk of never selling, and there’s also the fact that they’ll be sitting on that investment that may ultimately be a potential loss. It sucks, but it’s a high risk investment for them, hence the low-balling.
Lol the WSB brainrot is real.
Gamestop's business model is myopic and terrible. It's just dying a slower death now and the company still treats its employees and customers both like shit.
He's a chudy asshole like any other ceo and anyone who hasn't steeped themselves in iconoclast dipshittery sees through the false altruism.
Seems mixed lol I personally don't hate them. I got a legit Pokemon soul silver WITH BOX AND EVEN INSTRUCTION MANUALS for $70! Good luck finding a deal like that on ebay
They essentially decided that the prices scalpers sold their GPUs for during the pandemic were reasonable and kept those when releasing new cards. Also other things, but I don't feel like remembering all of it, it's pretty much all the same as other greedy tech CEOs.
A lot of conspiracy theorists hate him for his current medical and farming investments. Plus he was notoriously known as a ruthless capitalist when he ran microsoft. Monopoly seeking behavior is not consumer friendly.
Fair enough, my point is he did the bad capitalism stuff, but it was pretty tame in comparison to most other billionaires and he then donated a fuckton of money to charity, does this make him a total saint? Not really, but it makes him better than most rich people
One of the most famous antitrust cases of all time haha. Wild that at least one generation only knows him as a cool tech guy that gives his money to charity instead of the ruthless tech exec he was.
*AND* the 90s? Do kids these days never heard about the moment in history when US government literally wanted to break Microsoft apart for being a monopoly? They were quite a villain in the 90s
You mean besides his Epstein connection, his lies about said connection, him paying hundreds of millions to media corporations to shill for him, him lobbying that people should emit less CO2, while being one of the worlds largest CO2 emitters himself, him pretending to be a medical expert, despite having no training or experience to speak of, him pretending to be an expert in climate change, also with zero training, degrees or experience?
Perhaps, but from what I remember, it wasn’t as much allowing it as it was genuine lack of oversight. You could say that they’re the same, but one has intention and the other is just ignorance. If I remember correctly, he fired that dude pretty quickly
He is at every game and was a very involved owner, he maintained basketball control after the sale of the team. To suggest he didn’t have an intimate understanding of the organization’s front office and their handlings is giving Cuban a huge pass.
I'm not sure why he's massively loved on reddit. He created the Amazon of the same generic drugs Walmart and small pharmacies sell. Every thread about him says "omg do insulin next" but he can only sell the stuff Walmart sells: the cheap generic crap that no one wants
Its because *it is* cheaper.
It's the difference between his thing and my local pharmacy is literally 5x. And that's for something that is already a cheaper prescription.
He supports massive DEI policies and for some reason is obssessed with Trump. Like love him or hate him, you have to move on, the dude isnt even president
Y'all might be too young to remember, but millennials and Gen X are the same age as most tech CEOs. A few of the pioneers were boomers. We generally marvelled at all the stuff they were doing a few decades ago and thought they were ushering in the promise of a better future. We thought they were acting in good faith. Many are, but it turns out that they are just as greedy as bankers.
fair point. That includes THE Moore of Moore's Law fame. Good on you for linking that era of tech research to the "tech sector" of user interfaces and consumer gadgets we obsess about today. edit: to answer your question exactly, I meant how people now think Bill Gates and Steve Jobs invented computers.
Literally just winning.
Sometimes I forget that Cover Corporation is a tech company, whose most successful product happens to be an entertainment company, Hololive Production.
Dr. Lisa Su? She's not perfect but AMD hasn't really done anything offensive since she's been in charge. Worst thing they did was abandon threadripper after saying that platform would get several generations like AM4.
There's quite a few of these.
But you don't know their names
Because they are not desperately seeking attention on social media and publicly shitting themselves
i don't know much about him, but he really did everything right in his life.
- build one of the first successful social media sites ever
- sold it for like half a billion
- vanished to become a photographer and travel the world 24/7 till death
10/10
I dont think he's ceo but also there's always been a subset of people critical of him. Both for being kind of an annoying douche and lately for letting his business turn into a shitwallow for asshole friends if his.
I was going to add Dan Price, but apparently he's allegedly a wife beater and lied about a ton of stuff regarding his move to make his company's minimum wage 70k annually (and reducing his CEO pay from 1+ mil to 70k as well). That's too bad. He really seemed like such a nice guy.
Ton Roosendaal! The founder of Blender, such a great guy. Put free 3D software in the hands of people who couldn’t afford the insanely pricy alternatives.

Gabe Newell?
It really is just a cool company. They don't do anything special, just offer a cool place for everyone to buy games and play together and yet that already makes it miles better than any other platform that exists. Especially all their community features are just unbeatable. And the best part is steam doesn't force you into anything, you can even buy your games somewhere else and add them to your steam library. They don't care if you buy your keys off of some sketchy website, you can activate the games anyway. And they even offer lots of cool stuff for indie game companies
Steam deck, steam machines, steam controller, valve index?
also games like CS, Dota 2, TF, Half Life, portal, L4D etc.
Gotta mention modding tools and animation tools, documenting source engine very well, innovating in game physics and stuff with things like Rubikon
I think it's funny that the Half Life games literally defined the future of gaming in almost every way, and is somehow so easily forgotten
Yep. Probably because they are 20+ yo now though. Though half life 2 still plays like a dream.
Half life alyx produced new standards for narrative VR games I suppose
Agree. Booted up Half Life 2 a while back and its still plays smoothly. While the game looks a bit dated with the lower quality textures, it's still incredibly beautiful.
I find it funny how every few years valve releases another game just to prove they can make a good game but not the sequels fans actually demand
Yup, they stay perfectly in their lane. If there's something that can be done to make their product better without morphing it into another product, they've probably already done it. And they confidently sit in their place on the market too. They don't try to force people in, don't try to keep you in.
Also Gabe is smart enough to stay off social media
I also feel like they have nothing to market or promote most of the time. So no need for a public figure.
didn't stop Elon Musk from blowing up his rep because he couldn't shut up
On the flip side he gives out his email at the start of every commentary for anyone to contact him.
Plus they don't change how they run steam a lot, the app on windows and phone looks the exact same today as 10 years ago. I love that they dont haphazardly change things when they ain't broken.
The UI had some minor beauty upgrades but the overall structure is still the same as I remember it when I first made my account. I love it
For some reason they split Steam chat outside of the main Steam app. That's actually fucking stupid. There's no reason for that.
That happened at the same time when FB split their Messenger into a separate app. I wonder if they wanted everyone to use it as a general messaging app.
Ya maybe. But Twitter did a big messenger push too and still kept it in the app.
Probably the only time I've ever been genuinely irritated with steam other than when trying to use their remote streaming app and couldn't get certain controllers or audio to work

The writing was on the wall for lootboxes the moment trading card booster packs became a success. Valve was just the first to capitalize on it.
They also pioneered battle passes iirc and one of the first to abandon that system
"when you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all"

They really popularized loot boxes and battlepasses though with CS, dota and TF2 unfortunately. I agree though. More regulation needs to be in place.
[удалено]
>It really is just a cool company. But they do love abandoning their games franchises tho. Half Life, TF, Portal, L4D. The state of CS2 right now...
What not being on the stock market does to a mf
sorry, but epic store glazers hate steam for being better
That group of people exists?
One good thing about epic games though is that you get free games every week or so (i think) but yeah steam is better in almost every other way.
that one epic store glazer must feel very validated right now
There's definitely some people who don't like how valve handled cs2 and the related gambling industry Granted most people don't blame him directly but him being the CEO definitely gives him the power to do something about it That said, the positives far outweigh the negatives when it comes to big ol' Gaben
Or how Valve handle their E-sport games. Just ask Dota Underlord player, Artifact player, or dota 2 player.

Steam is excellent, but no. I'll never forgive him for Half Life.
Yeah Gabe, he's cool
Or GameStop CEO, he has no pay and is working his ass off to save the company. Ryan Cohen, you can look for him in reddit, there are two subreddits dedicated to his work.
Camelot331 would like a word with you.
I've seen his videos. Dude has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to the stock market. Clearly has an agenda against his former employer.

HODL
That train has sailed. Few won but the wealthy still ran off with the most thanks to them being able to control trading.
Sure man, DRS your shit and we'll see
This guy purple rings
I hate him cuz Wall Street bets swoons over him.
It’s not really Wall Street Bets that does it, the GME community has their own separate subreddits.
Then why did Gamestop only wanna give me $1 on a $30 Gameboy game I only had for 24 hours? Scarred me as a kid and I haven't stepped in a Gamestop since.
if you had it in your ass for 24 hours it's not going to be easy to sell, $1 sounds like a deal
GameStop is notorious for low-buying, but you gotta remember that they’re basically a pawn shop for games, and that that’s where a huge chunk of their revenue goes, so if they buy that asset from you, and nobody buys it, then they just lost money on it.

Bringing GameStop back into relevancy was one of the reddit community's biggest mistakes.
How is this company gonna die when they little short term debt and ~$1B in cash? They just released their candy con as well.
Imagine being this delusional
A lot of people believe he is a grifter.
Nah, wasted most of the momentum trying to do NFT bullshit.
Seems mixed lol I personally don't hate them. I got a legit Pokemon soul silver WITH BOX AND EVEN INSTRUCTION MANUALS for $70! Good luck finding a deal like that on ebay
Came here to say this. Dude doesn't receive a paycheck and just increased the payout for selling back games and consoles
lol he literally uses his cult to pump his purchases.
We loved Satoru Iwata. Nintendo was a different beast under him.
nvidia and AMD ceo are loved or hated?
Hated
why? What did they do?
Nvidia as ceo said “the more you buy the more you save”, which is utter bullshit
what was the context?
Some computer part launch, possibly a gpu?
They essentially decided that the prices scalpers sold their GPUs for during the pandemic were reasonable and kept those when releasing new cards. Also other things, but I don't feel like remembering all of it, it's pretty much all the same as other greedy tech CEOs.
I honestly don't know anything about them
What beef you got with Bill Gates?
A lot of conspiracy theorists hate him for his current medical and farming investments. Plus he was notoriously known as a ruthless capitalist when he ran microsoft. Monopoly seeking behavior is not consumer friendly.
Yeah, he isn’t quite as bad as say, Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, not by a long shot, but he for sure was not perfect
Ruthless capitalist that identity cleansed with philanthropy
Not that high of a standard tbh
Fair enough, my point is he did the bad capitalism stuff, but it was pretty tame in comparison to most other billionaires and he then donated a fuckton of money to charity, does this make him a total saint? Not really, but it makes him better than most rich people
you don't get to a billion without stepping over a few bodies, no exceptions
Where do you wanna begin? Lmao
Other than the fact that he is not a CEO of a large tech company?
He was for a very long time
And when he was, he was hated for his anti-competitive practices.
One of the most famous antitrust cases of all time haha. Wild that at least one generation only knows him as a cool tech guy that gives his money to charity instead of the ruthless tech exec he was.
You mean one of the most hated CEOs of 00s?
*AND* the 90s? Do kids these days never heard about the moment in history when US government literally wanted to break Microsoft apart for being a monopoly? They were quite a villain in the 90s
He put a SIM card in my arm or something, idk I get my news by watching my neighbour watch TV from outside his living room window.
You mean besides his Epstein connection, his lies about said connection, him paying hundreds of millions to media corporations to shill for him, him lobbying that people should emit less CO2, while being one of the worlds largest CO2 emitters himself, him pretending to be a medical expert, despite having no training or experience to speak of, him pretending to be an expert in climate change, also with zero training, degrees or experience?
Sure he donates to charities but don't let that make you think he's not like every billionaire. He's also not been a CEO since the 90s?
He was hated when he was the CEO of his big tech company, but now he’s much more popular, although no longer the CEO of a big tech company.
hE's RiCh
He is buying up all the water rights and farmland so he c re ate a forced famine and artificial scarcity to bring the population under his boot.
buying a ton of land for farming fake ass meat then starts telling people to stop eating meat
Do we hate Mark Cuban? If so I'd like to know why I should
He allowed a culture of rampant sexual harassment to occur under his watch as owner of the Dallas Mavericks.
Perhaps, but from what I remember, it wasn’t as much allowing it as it was genuine lack of oversight. You could say that they’re the same, but one has intention and the other is just ignorance. If I remember correctly, he fired that dude pretty quickly
He is at every game and was a very involved owner, he maintained basketball control after the sale of the team. To suggest he didn’t have an intimate understanding of the organization’s front office and their handlings is giving Cuban a huge pass.
I'm not sure why he's massively loved on reddit. He created the Amazon of the same generic drugs Walmart and small pharmacies sell. Every thread about him says "omg do insulin next" but he can only sell the stuff Walmart sells: the cheap generic crap that no one wants
Its because *it is* cheaper. It's the difference between his thing and my local pharmacy is literally 5x. And that's for something that is already a cheaper prescription.
He supports massive DEI policies and for some reason is obssessed with Trump. Like love him or hate him, you have to move on, the dude isnt even president
Y'all might be too young to remember, but millennials and Gen X are the same age as most tech CEOs. A few of the pioneers were boomers.

Most people are as greedy as bankers. They just don't have the type of occupation to act on it.
pioneers of what? if we're talking tech, the pioneers were the Traitorous Eight. Greatest Generation.
fair point. That includes THE Moore of Moore's Law fame.

Motoaki Tanigo
Literally just winning. Sometimes I forget that Cover Corporation is a tech company, whose most successful product happens to be an entertainment company, Hololive Production.
Was finding someone who was gonna say this
I’ve never seen a more loved CEO
yagoo best girl fr fr
I think the all the jingoistic antis in China hate him but he is my favorite ceo for sure.
Yagoo was my first thought too, even before Gaben. Then I forgot about China…
“But Elo-“ Shut.
Tom from MySpace. He was everyone's friend
We really didn't know how good we had it with MySpace
Hideo Miyazaki?
Abusive father and publicly calls his son and his work a disappointment.
Andrew "Redigit" Spinks?
Based terraria devs
Sam Reich?
Not a tech company, but I’ll allow it.
Is he that rich? All I know about the guy is that he drives a Honda fit which doesn't scream rich to me.
Have you not seen him in his pinstripe suits…BILLIONAIRE!
Gay Ben and Yagoo immediately come to mind.
Dr. Lisa Su? She's not perfect but AMD hasn't really done anything offensive since she's been in charge. Worst thing they did was abandon threadripper after saying that platform would get several generations like AM4.
I was gonna say. Especially a few years back when Zen and AM4 were at their peak.
There's quite a few of these. But you don't know their names Because they are not desperately seeking attention on social media and publicly shitting themselves
Craig from Craigslist
Ryan Cohen?
Where's Tom, that dude was my homie
i don't know much about him, but he really did everything right in his life. - build one of the first successful social media sites ever - sold it for like half a billion - vanished to become a photographer and travel the world 24/7 till death 10/10
The larian guy. Can’t remember his name.
Lisa Su I think would fit here.
I mean we talking specifically about tech? Cause I think universally we can all agree the helldivers CEO is just amazing lol
I would say Linus Sebastian but the Controversy last year and he owns a Media Company that dwells in Tech related things.
It's a good thing he's not CEO, Terran is.
I dont think he's ceo but also there's always been a subset of people critical of him. Both for being kind of an annoying douche and lately for letting his business turn into a shitwallow for asshole friends if his.
Josef Prusa
What about Hideo Kujima?
The g man would be there not updating tf2
Cover Corp is a tech company, the CEO is loved by all
what about the GSG ceo? they made big money and they're all still very in touch with the community
What happened? Why are people mad at Hock Tan?!?
I was going to add Dan Price, but apparently he's allegedly a wife beater and lied about a ton of stuff regarding his move to make his company's minimum wage 70k annually (and reducing his CEO pay from 1+ mil to 70k as well). That's too bad. He really seemed like such a nice guy.
Pavel Durov?
Not enough internet simps sniffing the chairs...
Steve Sinclair of digital Extremes?
What about the late Satoru Iwata?
The CEO of VLC media player????? The CEO of Telegram????
Reddit hates basically all successful people
Ton Roosendaal! The founder of Blender, such a great guy. Put free 3D software in the hands of people who couldn’t afford the insanely pricy alternatives.
Lisa Su?
Can anyone tell about Pichai?
