Why?

[Makabb]

Why? Because money.

 

[Nomad_Blizz]

Valve is only doing this because bitpay is converting it to dollars before it reaches them. They don't trust bitcoin (obviously).

Oh...

Grandpas thinking bitcoin has no value ITT.

 

[Average Manatee]

Valve isn't slowly amassing untraceable money in order to fund an assassination of the sony and microsoft console heads?

Disappointing.

Grandpas being right ITT.

Disappointing.

They would be stupid to do so. Why ammass money to do something they're already doing themselves for free? The xbone and ps4 are massive failures all by themselves.

I hear Microsoft is going to put focus on Windows gaming again.

Again? The only good games they ever released were Age of Empires and Flight Simulator.

And they took a nice diarrhea dump all over everything with Games for Windows Live.

Nevar forget!

Thank God, now I can buy games with my bitcoins, shit was getting too expensive for me on Steam on toilet paper HUEHUE money. Dark Souls 3 is almost 20% of the minimum wage.

They will release a kickstarter for a turn based rpg of a franchise that's been dead for like 20 years.

 

[Llama-Yak Hybrid]

The only good games they ever released were Age of Empires and Flight Simulator.

And Neverhood and Close Combat and Impossible Creatures and Rise of Nations...

Of course nobody who made those is willing to work for M$ ever again.
