    If I had a penny for every time I saw this quote decontextualised. I’d have enough to buy a Ubisoft game.

    Which is kinda sad that it’s been that often.

        Thank you Valve

        (For the Gamers reading. I am making reference to the fact that steam has already got gamers used to not owning their games)

      Listen, I’m super smart and I definitely know what the right context is, but could you explain it for our dumber friends here?

        The exec said that in order for subscription gaming to be profitable, then customers would have to be okay with not owning their games. It was posed more of a hypothetical instead of a sinister plan. Now would they prefer subscription model? Absolutely. Do they expect it to work rn? The exec doesn’t think so.
