Valve might actually be only worth $16B since Valve is a PRIVATE company. Companies get way more expensive when they go Public - then the share price just keep going up and up and up. That's why usually companies and their execs WANT to go public (but thank god Valve is still private and not a typical corporation). Apparently in that big leak during the FTC case for the Activision blizzard deal, I heard that Microsoft had evaluated Valve to be worth 17B. Nevertheless it's hard to know a private company's value since it's subjective (you don't have a total $ amount like with public companies on the stock market).

It's amusing that people value Valve based on emotion. Advice, don't ever trade stocks. It's probably good that they aren't public, lot of people would get rekt. Gabe net worth is assumed to be $4b and couple of years ago, it was said he owns 1/4 of the company (he owned 1/2 ten years ago), so it makes sense that Valve is worth $16b. Very few 400 people companies cost more than $16b, only some crazy startups. Game developer/distributor can cost more, but then they are much bigger. Like Epic Games, which has 10x more employees and is valued $32b. Steam, just like OnlyFans/Patreon, has inflated revenue numbers. Everything they sell, counts as revenue and they distribute part of that to sellers. The 30% that Steam keeps isn't profit. That's profit before the expenses. Steam is not just some store website, they are content distributor, they have large storage/hardware and bandwidth costs.

The logic is flawed. If they get the game on game pass and play it like they normally would make between 120-180 per person that does this. Plus they might try more Xbox games which creates more sales opportunities. The only money they are missing out on are for the people who have game pass and would've bought the game. So it's no risk upfront money or some risk with more money long term. It's a no brain for me if I was in charge. They bet the brand on game pass. If they backtrack now for some up front money they will never recover from the brand DMG. Google does that "I quit in 3-5 years if I don't immediately make bank" bs and that's why they have launched a good product in about a decade. Double down. Live by game pass and die by game pass.

Yeah, I want to play Steam games, like, Breakneck, on my Xbox

They should port WoW to Xbox. Mouse and keyboard required.

Game Pass natively on Steam Deck would be a sure thing. I would get it day one.

Hell no. Its already failing now. Expect gamepass to not be a thing very soon under new leadership.
@justinseans3 ай бұрын
@NostraSamus What new leadership? PC Game Pass was good for $10. I just don't use Windows; I use Ubuntu mainly, so.

@@justinseans Satya and Sarah Bond will be making the big decisions now. Phil did not convince Microsoft that he can get Xbox out of the red. Trust me, a lot of changes are coming.

@@NostraSamus I don't think that Sarah Bond will be making any decisions for long, until she ruins Xbox even more than Phil did. Looking at interviews with her, she literally has no idea about gaming and the industry.
@NostraSamus3 ай бұрын
@@appleleptiker Her job is safe because Xbox NEVER cared about “gaming.” Sarah Bond does know the mobile market, which xbox is trying corner. From what it looks like, Phil Spencer doesn’t know much either. Microsoft never grows their expertise in any subject, they simply spend money to buy their needs a la carte.

if Microsoft bought steam it would be challenged and probably not go threw that would be rely bad for gaming as they would have to much control of gaming.
@supersaiyaman115893 ай бұрын
one company having that much control would be a very bad thing.

My prediction is Xbox done making consoles. Xbox is going to license the xbox name to companies like asus, msi, dell, which will just be computers running custom Xbox software. Example Xbox series Asus. Xbox series MSI. Xbox series Alienware

Even if they increase the gamepass ultimate price to 30 dollars a month, it's still the best deal available in gaming

Good deal for gamers. Not so much for the studios.
@credd18543 ай бұрын
@aries4378 stop. the studios are getting paid regardless of their game being on gamepass or not they aren't putting the game on the service for free.

Matt talking about WoW is better than constant Pokemon or z-flip from Austin. If Matt stops taking WoW, then Austin should have to give up one of those, if not both (or be censored + fast forwarded like y'all do to Matt).

As of March 2024, Valve, according to Bloomberg, is only worth 6.9 Billion. I’d check your facts a bit more thoroughly before making a video about it.
