minus-squarethe_third@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up29·1 year agoI fear the day that man dies. I hope I have lost interest in gaming at that point.

minus-squareandrew@lemmy.stuart.funlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoThat’s exactly what Half Life 3 will be.
minus-squareoverload@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year ago$12b seems far too low by that comparison. 30% of all games sales would be an outrageous annual figure.
minus-squareblargerer@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down3·1 year agoObviously this is fake, but if it was spinning off steam from the game developer, then maybe?
minus-squareHotzilla@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 year agoIf steam is included, 12b is a joke, if just valves game rights, meaning HL and CS, then the price is not THAT stupid (still quite). Maybe this would be the way go get HL3, it would ofc be horrible cashgrab, but HL3 would be out. Edit: bit details, in 2021 Valve had $10b revenue from steam, and $3b revenue from other sources (heh, source, get it)
