Valve has done some good things for the game industry: they encouraged modifications, and made some good games.

However, I feel as if the gaming community praises Valve too much.

  • The gaming community praises Valve’s monopoly on game distribution services.

That’s about it though.

    why, they’re literally bringing a handheld linux gaming console to the market. that alone is awesome and helping open gaming by leagues and miles. it also helps that gaben is a huge opponent to microsoft.

    i do wish they’d make more games. but that’s up to their game developers to decide due to their work environment structure, so they decide if they want to make a game or not, and it seems they aren’t interested, currently.

      Keyword is worship. You could also say Microsoft has done great things with the Xbox or live.

        I don’t think anyone believes that DirectX has been ‘great things’ for the industry or players.
