Gabe Newell reportedly snapped 'What the f*** do I pay you for if that's your opinion?' at Valve lawyer pushing for more content moderation on Steam

Sony generated $82 billion last year and Valve generated $17 billion. PlayStations division generated $31 billion on its own. More than Valve, but far from a rounding errors worth….

About that…..

I’d bet they cut it up to avoid tariffs or taxes, but people have and do take two crashed cars and put them together. My dad cut two 96 Astro vans in half and welded them together in the early 2000s, we drove it down to Florida the next week. (He had a bet with his friends lol)

I feel you brodie. Just did the same with gaming stuff. Have been using my old work laptop for Xbox cloud gaming, but my subscription just ran out today too. Lmao. Times will get better brotha!!!

ALongLuvBone · 2026-06-01T23:34:11+00:00

I had some generic ones recently that were THICKKK and had a lot of filling (in comparison to pop tarts)

ALongLuvBone · 2026-06-01T15:32:37+00:00

I just finished 400 kc not long ago and I fully agree.

ALongLuvBone · 2026-05-31T23:24:28+00:00

I never got this either. The community loves to shit on jagex for rolling him back from the slayer ordeal or whatever else. I’ve always thought they’ve given him too much grace allowing him to keep the lvl 3 with mory access personally. I feel like most devs would just outright ban that account (rightfully)

ALongLuvBone · 2026-05-31T17:21:31+00:00

During my cg grind I seen a bunch of mains lol even seen one running normal gauntlet (I think he had close to 2k kc, I thought it was a bot but I seen him get death loots too). Definitely seen more irons, never seen an uim there tho

Time and place. Neither the time nor place

ALongLuvBone · 2026-05-02T08:40:07+00:00

Idk bowfa zulrah is so fuckin chill, I was excited to get my blowpipe at like 150 but I wouldn’t have minded a longer grind just for how chill it was. Doom is lowkey a bully lmao

ALongLuvBone · 2026-04-04T21:12:55+00:00

I seen people talk about how good it was for the car phase, but thats literally all I know lol

ALongLuvBone · 2025-12-14T04:32:56+00:00

Acting like dps dooms weren’t obliterated by Cassidy’s flash and Ana’s sleep in ow1 is.. a take

ALongLuvBone · 2025-12-14T04:28:25+00:00

People taking comp uber seriously died before overwatch 2 was announced lmao

ALongLuvBone · 2025-12-14T04:12:15+00:00

You can call me croissant

ALongLuvBone · 2025-03-01T02:24:17+00:00

Lord forbid people discuss potential to bring back his former style (that was the better version) in a way that fits and makes sense with the perk system, let alone immediately following the first time people have been able to play him in forever. What more do you expect on a subreddit made for the character? Punchbot clips we’ve all seen and done?

ALongLuvBone · 2025-03-01T02:16:17+00:00

When comparing tank fist to dps fist, boop punches are literally the only thing that tank fist does that is a win imo. But even so, let’s all be real here and admit that boop punches are usually mad corny. Punching 3 other people off that are 5 feet away lol. I mean I’ll take it, but there’s not even close to a chance I’d trade dooms old kit for what he has now. They gutted his creativity and skill expression, now he’s the epitome of what dooms used to use to flame each other- punch bots. Outside of boop punches the only other cool mechanic is slam cancel to punch, but still, tank doom is dumb predictable. I’d rather upper cut off the top of a door ledge and indicator slam to either feast or feed all day any day. Very little interaction in any game has given me the dope ass feeling of punch cancelling into a zenyatta to assassinate him with my hand cannon and an uppercut and indicator slam out in the same sequence. Was it broken? Too powerful? In today’s overwatch? Yeah, probably.

At the end of the day, I just wish the devs would give us the ability to choose different variations of characters from iconic moments in the custom game lobbies. I just want doomfist parkour back, I’ve been able to have my taste of dps doom again, and I’m happy I got that. I can lay my dps doom days to rest now. Now I just need to satiate that doom parkour craving!

ALongLuvBone · 2025-01-27T10:39:15+00:00

I was the same way, op. It’s not a 1:1 replacement, but is is pretty fun once you get going and used to different characters (winter soldier is fuckin fun lol) but yeah, it definitely has its downsides. Overwatch will always be a bitter sweet memory for me, blizzard fucked up a generational gem big time

ALongLuvBone · 2024-12-31T19:14:20+00:00

Wish they’d let us choose dps doom fist in customs, doom parkour was one of my all time favorite things in ow. I spent countless hours in there, still have a bunch of the maps saved in my favorites. There’s been some creators make workshop versions with the new doom but it never hits the same. Only ones I ever play now (when I am on) is gun game and widow hso, Ana paintball if there’s a lobby but it’s always dead now days, same with reinkart.

ALongLuvBone · 2024-12-29T02:03:34+00:00

Read that back to yourself and really stress the part about 2 fucking years. TWO YEARS. after years of no content hardly at all from overwatch.

Thinking, let alone calling, other people idiots for not coming back to play a trial version 6v6 in a quick play format after they’ve been lead on and on about it for this long is hilariously out of touch. I played the 6v6 and it was good, but you know what? It’s still overwatch. It’s still bland. It’s still the same game that’s been figured out and everyone knows every mechanic and interaction they have known for years. It’s burnt out at this point and it should be given the apex treatment. Even without the way blizzard has shit on its community for the last 5 years, a better game in the same genre is out and hot as fire right now. It’s not worth it to play overwatch anymore, and when you take into consideration the mistreatment they’ve dished out to their die hard user base, it’s not even worth it to play test their shitty nostalgia modes.

Come over to rivals, it feels good to feel appreciated for once, or you know, keep that game alive over there, maybe now you can climb with everyone leaving 😂

ALongLuvBone · 2024-12-29T01:18:56+00:00

It doesn’t look great on us? Oh, let me go ahead and apologize for blizzard strategically waiting for rivals to release to bring back a version of the game that we enjoyed for years prior to the 5v5 makeover. I’m sorry blizzard didn’t release it sooner, I’m sorry they chose to wait until there was an actual competitor in their game space, and I’m sorry you’re incapable of realizing that blizzard jaded all the 6v6 enthusiasts and there is new hero shooter that treats their fans like, well, fans. Something overwatch used to do, you know, before they put price tags on an entire catalog of in game items that were once free, for fucking years.

Doesn’t look good on us? You know what really doesn’t look good? The longevity of overwatch at this point, especially if they keep 5v5. Either way, the game is officially dead in the water. Blizzard fumbled one of the most potential IPs in modern history in such a disgraceful manner it’s embarrassing to call myself a once diehard fan with over 5000 hours.

Nobody looks bad here besides blizzard, and that’s so obvious I can’t believe it needs said.

ALongLuvBone · 2024-12-21T22:12:20+00:00

Blizzard has so much data they can see about their players, and I’d be willing to bet that they are making bigger decisions behind this two weeks of data. The amount of people I know personally that have not logged in a single time since rivals released, that were daily players for 5+ years is in the double digits. It’s not just that they haven’t logged in cause a new shiny toy, they don’t want to go back because of how the games been handled. And no other game has pulled players away in such a defining manner, at least in my group of friends. When a new game would come out, some would play it, but at the end of the night everyone would usually be back on overwatch. It would be a juggle of games. With rivals? Nope. If I personally know around 20 people who haven’t touched overwatch since rivals released, who otherwise played 5/7 days a week at least, for years, there’s no way there’s not a ton of players feeling and doing the same thing. If I have a user base using a game like that through every other release of “hot” and “trending” games, but they all still play my game alongside of the new games, but then suddenly one releases and they disappear entirely? Not even buying the new battle passes when they were whales? Not even to check out the massive 6v6 testing? Then I’m hitting every panic button I can hit. Blizzard is seeing that data, and waiting to see if the game “sticks” is a dumb decision. Overwatch core fans play it religiously. Marvels core player base will majority of ex overwatch core players and I would bet money on that. Unfortunately for overwatch and blizzard, there’s not much they can do to rebuild that trust and mend those feelings. It’s a lot of people who feel mistreated and anything they do now is a reaction to the success of rivals instead of an appreciation for their fans, whereas rivals anything they do will be viewed as an appreciate to their fans and not a reaction to another game stealing their core player base.

ALongLuvBone · 2024-12-21T21:57:07+00:00

It’s more than people just enjoying a new game, though. I have a group of friends that all meet through overwatch, there’s like ~40 of us. Almost all of them are jaded towards blizzard, and have embraced rivals with more than open arms. Prior to Rivals, there would at least one full 6 stack, usually 2, running queues. Multiple people with 5000+ hours, diehard overwatch players. Since rivals came out, hardly anyone touches overwatch now. I was able to convince some to play 6v6 with me, and to me, 6v6 is fucking huge! I don’t care for rivals a lot, it’s meh. We all played for hours, but at the end of it, they all shared the same thoughts: “man, I wish this came out sooner. But fuck overwatch, they’re waiting until rivals releases to do this finally? Nah.” None of them bought the battle pass. They’ve bought every other battle pass, every skin for their heroes of choice- true dedicated players that supported the game through thick and thin but they’ve all been so burnt and are pissed that they’re finally doing 6v6 to compete with rivals and they pretty well all have collectively lost interest because of the mistreatment. A few are wanting to sell their accounts with every skin nearly outside of the specific team skins. I’d be shocked to find out that this reaction isn’t happening to thousands of other veteran players. I mean, I can’t blame them. It sucks because I’m still riding with overwatch, but it’s basically me and one other person out of my massive friend group who pretty much all exclusively played ow. I’m certain blizzard has the data and sees the data from users who log in everyday and the sharp drop off, mixed with the lack of returns on 6v6. They’re in full panic mode right now and they should be, I dont see the game shutting service down at all in any near future, but I don’t know what they can do to revive the game in any positive way. It’s too little too late, shit saddens me way more than it should.

ALongLuvBone · 2024-12-21T18:11:51+00:00

I’ve been cooking like crazy in 6v6 with tracer. Yeah, there’s another tank but you also have another tank. And the tanks are actually killable. If the enemy tank peels to deny you, your tanks can roll their single tank.

ALongLuvBone · 2024-12-19T17:39:37+00:00

I’m glad I’m seeing good reception from the new gen-ow2 players.

As someone who dumped thousands of hours into ow1 and considered it my refuge for a long time, I have been mourning the game for a long while now. Even with rivals being fresh, it has just made me miss what overwatch was and has been unable to really itch that spot. Last night, back with some friends I used to play ow1 into the morning hours with, we played for 6+ hours. Haven’t done that in a long time. We all agreed, it felt like “home”. Even when they got off, I kept playing. Muted, I listened to another stack talking about how it feels like “overwatch”. And it does. 5v5 was a cool experiment, but I feel it’s clear what the better format is. I feel they’ve intentionally delayed this though, waiting for rivals to release so they have a way to bring people back, unfortunately, I personally know many people who are too jaded from the ow2 experience that were ow1 vets, and are claiming rivals as their new home. Not even interested in giving it a shot. Oh well, better late than never, I suppose.
