Last year, they all came crawlin' back to Steam, and this year was another strong one for Valve.

From the opinion piece:

Last year, I pointed out how many big publishers came crawlin’ back to Steam after trying their own things: EA, Activision, Microsoft. This year, for the first time ever, two Blizzard games released on Steam: Overwatch and Diablo 4.

    The unpopular ones like Paramount+ and Peacock will probably lower their prices, rely on ads, realize they can’t keep the lights on with their lower prices, and probably sell to Amazon or Disney someday. The larger ones will consolidate the popular content and continue raising their prices and inserting more ads. The previous prices were just a loss-leader to get people to sign up.

        Do you like all the trek? I thought Lower Decks and Discovery both started great but kind of fell off. I heard Picard was good.

          I couldn’t get into voyager but I’ll go back and watch it all eventually. Lower decks was great. I found out about it watching SNW and was like wtf is this shit?! But after I went back and watched lower decks I got it and it was fun.

        If you’re lucky, your subscription will be rolled into Max, should the merger talks conclude.
