What games?
5 comments

Don't bother, they made horrible games and whole gaming division need to be cut. I own all modern and most vintage consoles. By quality of games: Nintendo number one, then Sony pretty close, then Steam, Microsoft somewhere after.
Steam (or Valve) for matter makes games?
Wow, had to look it up and they haven't really put out an original game of note since Portal 2 in 2011. (Not counting CS:GO, as a remake, or DOTA2 since they bought it, but even counting those it would be 2013.)
What about Half Life: Alyx? Not just original, but pretty revolutionary for the platform.
you have it backwards. CS:GO was bought (mande by external studio then bought), Dota2 is a remake of a wc3 map/mod.
Well, I was referring to Steam like to platform where I would rather chose to buy\play games over MS.
Like Starfield, for example. Or the recent Quake 2 remaster. Microsoft owns Bethesda, Obsidian, id and plenty of other big name studios.
I haven’t tried it, but according to reviews Starfield seems like a generic space soap opera version of No Man’s Sky with loading screens.
> Microsoft owns Bethesda

This... explains a lot. The user-hostile experience, the lack of innovation of their game engine, the ability to buy fantastic reviews. I never knew the two were connected.

Not really, it doesn’t explain much if anything. Since they only bought Bethesda in 2021
Ah okay. Just two bad companies. Thanks for the correction
They began making Starfield years before MS bought Zenimax
Forza, Flight Simulator, Halo
Forza is awesome
Fable?
