@Kieron: Aha! John’s post is lovely indeed though I would have loved to hear more on Valve’s thinking about piracy. With actual quotes and such. But anyway I was just being snarky bastard. Sorry about that. The reverse ordered live blog has become an unfortunate staple of the field. Perhaps I should get to writing a plugin to address the problem rather than simply kvetching about it.

Mark: We’re just not built for liveblogging, alas, without filling the whole front page in a messy way. So this was the only way to do it. Perhaps we could have edited it into a linear strip later, but instead John did a lovely post which gathered all the points together.

Next time you live blog a Valve conference please write the words from right to left as well as bottom to top. Coz that’d be even _more_ fun to read! ;-)

” “Rampant piracy is just unserved customers”

Thank fsck there’s a developer that gets it.

And that it’s this one.”

Exactly. Too many fucking developers (cough EA cough) insist on ramming Starforce or whatever crap down our throats, whereas Valve go “Check it out, steam! Yeah, no CD/DVD required, we save your shit… go to town!”

I support it, though it’s still buggy as ever.

I notice Valve are now running this story on the Steam Update News thingy. They’ve included four links to pages of coverage and, shockingly, none are this fine site. What’s worse, two of the articles (Kotaku and Crave) actually point here! Shame on you, Valve.

I find Valve in general a strange a perplexing thing (in the same way that a pixie that causes it to rain sweets in strange and perplexing). Overall they seem somehow……too nice, too logical.

It seems like with there business model its basically: give people well priced shiny things and then give them lots of free add-ons and they will become frighteningly loyal. And to be honest by the sound of it its worked, again we dont know sales figures but considering there able to go it alone sans publisher most of the time has to be a good sign.

I also think Gabes comments on piracy are also interesting, lets be honest about this Steam is DRM, you have to be logged in all the time to use anything and you dont own physical copies of anything. But dispite this its DRM that works. I’m all for Steam because it keeps my games patched, allows me to manage mods and soon will even keep my save games safe for me when I reformat my computer. On top of this i have to log into there servers to play multiplayer, if you pirate you have to go to pirate servers filled with generally the loling gutter of gaming culture.
So yeah the rest of the gaming industry could learn a lot from this.
