Valve Interview Part 1: Doug Lombardi on PC Gaming
| Quote: | | Doug Lombardi: I mean, I think, we sort of laugh at it. Because we've been wildly successful--we're very fortunate, you know. Our games have all done really, really well, Steam has taken off and become this whole other business for us, Valve has never been in better shape--and yet everybody is talking about how in the PC world, the sky is falling. |
| Quote: | | There's this kind of roller-coaster ride: the consoles launch, their PR agencies go out and do everything they can to try and say the PC is dying, they'll prop up the sales of the console, the console starts to get old in the tooth, the PC starts leapfrogging in terms of graphics and bigger releases. So we're almost what, mid-way through the console lifecycle now? So yeah, over the next two years the story's going to come back that the PC is bigger, things like Left 4 Dead and Spore, the id titles are going to come out and everybody's going to be like, "Wow, those console titles are looking kind of crappy." |
I actually like steam. I thought the Orange Box was excellent value for money,
I can't wait for left 4 dead. Good luck to these guys

It's a survival/hunter fps. You play as either fleeing humans or hungry zombies. If i recall correct it'll be multiplayer only with teamplay as a important cornerstone to either survive the zombies or get some juicy brains.

left for dead is a first person shooter (multiplayer only) about zombies. It looks shit hot, but will most likely die a death fast.

still don't understand why the high-end gfx-cards are more expensive than a console. they should change that.

Left 4 Dead
http://www.nfohump.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29037
I'm a bit of a fan of SWAT4 and R6 Vegas in co-op modes.
I think left 4 dead will make a change as it's going to remove all the strategy elements
and up the pace some.
Will it be good? I dunno, but it's worth a punt.

| Quote: | if people were looking at WoW's subscriptions alone and factoring it in, looking at Steam sales and factoring it in.]. Just look at what Popcap's doing--Bejeweled and Peggle and all this stuff--they're not in that NPD data.
If you go around and you look at all these different things that are happening on the PC, and you add them together, my hunch is that [the sales numbers] would actually be much larger than all of the consoles put together. Again, minus the DS, because the DS is this crazy thing by itself. But talking purely in terms of the Wii, the PS3, and the 360, if you added those together and looked at the whole picture, I'd bet you PC would be even, if not bigger than those three systems in terms of the money that's changing hands and the opportunity for doing business. |
he always speaks sense
World of Warcraft made $520 million profit in 2007 on revenue of $1.1 billion.
pitty npd dont count mmo subscriptions
pc gaming money is still there people who play mmos which more pc users are doing each year often dont bother with other games apart from the block buster titles so shit/medicore/average games dont sell on the pc.
people blame piracy all the time when its obvious the piracy money losses they claim are mostly beeing lost because the money is going to mmo subs instead.
18 million pc users play an mmo 10 million of them play wow
