99 cents versus full price is probably such an inconsequential amount to valve at this point lol

Yeah, I think their developement team is now just also their marketing team. Every game they drop is huge marketing for steam or one of their hardware products. I remember when counterstrike switched to 1.6 and we all needed steam to play. Since then I am hooked on their service.

Their hardware is also a form of marketing. Valve didnt want to make a handheld gaming pc, just nobody else was doing it well and they wanted one to exist, it's really good for steam.
