    Introducing Steam Tags

    There appears to be a "Maybe is Half-Life 3" tag now. The internet is so funny.

    Introducing Steam Tags

    This reminds me of of when HL2.net had post tagging but instead of "need a dispenser here" it's "not a game", "bad", "garbage" and "fish AI".

    German Court Rules in Favour of Valve, No Game Reselling on Steam

    I'm really really not convinced of this. At all. There's a pretty obvious difference between selling a physical good and digital goods: Cost and supply. Digital copies don't run out and the cost of selling them is negligible so you can sell them for as low as you like and make back the costs of...

    German Court Rules in Favour of Valve, No Game Reselling on Steam

    I think that it's gross that they're no expectation (or reality) of ownership of digital good across any media.

    "Recently Updated" Section Added to Steam Storefront

    Valve has today launched a new section on the Steam storefront "that highlights titles offering new and interesting updates, features, and/or content additions." A new banner on the store below the featured games section shows off a couple of games that have recently been updated by the...

    SteamDevDays: Day 1 Round-Up

    I'm guessing that Valve's VR prototype was some sort of "what is the absolute best we can do" thing while the Oculus Rift actually has to be an affordable, mass-produceable consumer product so it's not terrible surprising that it'd be better.

    Valve Unveils First Generation Steam Machines

    Aesthetically the Alienware one is pretty cool. The CyberPowerPC one looks like of cool but also kind of like a router.

    Any part of Half-Life you don't like?

    Agreed. HL1 is a lot more inconsistent than HL2. That said I actually love the often hated On A Rail, Xen and Interloper chapters. It was decided that the negative ratings did nothing but facilitate a hostile environment.

    Gabe Newell Talks About Valve's Organisational Structure

    Well Valve is hardly the norm when it comes to companies. OK ignoring that stuff at the end: People getting fired is not a sign of failing. Some people don't work out with Valve's structure or want to go in the same direction that Valve as a whole does. There's nothing wrong with that. Not...

    Any part of Half-Life you don't like?

    I think the street war goes on a little too long. It's not that I really dislike any particular part of it but another change of pace chapter between Follow Freeman and Anticitizen One might have been cool. If we're talking the Episodes as well I think the train station escort in Exit 17 was...

    Too Many Options

    [citation needed] Agreed here. First thing I did when I started up Human Revolution was checked the options menu. Highlighting -> Off, Crosshairs -> Off, Cover and takedown prompts -> Off. Much preferred it that way but people who wanted those features could still avail of them.

    Gabe Newell Talks About Valve's Organisational Structure

    In an interview with the Washington Post,Valve's managing director Gabe Newell answered several questions on Valve's famous flat management style and how it works for the company. Much of this we've heard before but it still makes for a very interesting read. He also mentions the recent incident...

    Help With Steam

    Basically DDOSing (Distributed Denial Of Services) means the bombard the servers constantly with useless requests so they are overloaded and can't respond to the people who actually want to use the website/service. It's like getting fifty friends and going into a supermarket, getting one item...
