Yes, someone would have. Eventually.
But valve did it early.
It's easy to fill a niche once it's formed. Not so easy to do before, or as it's forming. Or predict if one will form.
I'm not saying valve or Gabe had some kind of foresight or wisdom, I still think it was a gamble. It just happens to be a gamble that worked.
My 4 month old laptop has hdmi on the back, ethernet on the left, four usb 3.whatever slots with two on each side, two USB c slots on the right side, and a microsd slot.
I think it even has a 3.5mm headset jack but I'd have to get out of bed to check. I don't have any peripherals that use 3.5mm anymore though so it's just a nice little bonus.
She will never forgive me for making her my mother's potato casserole.
I'll be honest, I thought Ohio would be higher...
I mean.... It was a gamble. Internet was still young. Speeds weren't keeping up with game sizes outside a few major cities. I was mailed a few large files because it was quicker than downloading them. Not to mention the desire for physical copies over a digital thing you can lose with a bad hard drive was at an all time high.
Then people realized the internet wasn't just nerd shit, ISPs slowly ramped up their DL speeds and suddenly the thing people mocked for not being feasible is doing well because of how convenient it became.
Gabe even admits he had doubts for awhile.
I wonder where gaming would be if he had listened to the doubters. There's no denying valve has had a major impact on modern gaming
It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.
So.... Life.
I legitimately thought she had died on my first watch, and that the crew were basically raising Naomi as a village.
Star Trek didn't do recurring characters very well... Except Q and Lwaxana.
It would have cost you nothing to not post this.
nothing!
Haven't I suffered enough?
"meet me in the middle", says the Unjust Man.
The patriot act says hi.
Along with like.... Half the shift from 2001-2005.
And if we keep going we will be here all day.
Weird, because historically gun control happens when white people get scared a black man has the same rights as them.
Just ask Dredd Scott v Sanford , or Ronald Reagan.
I actually hadn't heard of this movie yet. I try not to keep up with movies and games so I'm not too disappointed by over-hyped content.
I got a little excited at just the title, and as soon as I saw "Ares (Jared Leto)" all desire to watch it went out the window, my insides dropped a little, and the Tron Legacy is now derezzed. Pun entirely intended.
