Valve is indeed a beast and they do a lot of things right, but what a LOT of people don't understand is that they're playing an entirely different game than Microsoft or Nintendo or Sony. And that they have limitations that none of these companies have.Sometimes it's funny how out of touch actual gamers are with their own hobby... Valve the untouchable beast in gaming,.. they will win no matter what...
Someday I might sit down and write something about this because this is a fascinating topic imo.
