Quoting: Julius*June 2021* Google announces acquiring a majority stake in Valve Software (as founder Gabe Newell retires in New Zeeland with his new found billions).

That would be terrible. The next announcement would be:

*August 2023* Google announces they are shutting down the Steam game platform and instead moving the Valve team into a new Google subsidiary writing messaging apps.

That was my point. I guess I should have put /s

Quoting: GoboI guess there are now more virtual vikings in this game alone than there were real vikings some centuries ago. They have statistically sold a copy to every other current citizen of Denmark.

Yeah, time to redefine what "Viking" means ;) In future dictionaries: "Viking: a fictional character type in a 2021 computer game; also: some irrelevant small-scale European pirates a few hundred years earlier"

Quoting: JuliusMaybe the Stadia servers only support Vulkan and the recent announcement of Google signifies some sort of deal being struck with Valve? *pure speculation*

That would be golden, like geforce now, but on Linux with valve catalogue, one of the best combinations for us.

Well, this could go various ways... *June 2021* Google announces acquiring a majority stake in Valve Software (as founder Gabe Newell retires in New Zeeland with his new found billions). Steam to be integrated with Stadia, Android support coming through Playstore... *you heard it here first kids* :p

Quoting: NezchanWow.

All the characters they could have picked, there's what, 120 of them? Almost all with amazing, visually impressive designs and costumes, flashy abilities and compelling backstories, and this is what they picked? A generic looking human warrior whose outfit is mainly brown?

Netflix seems to have no clue in regards to Anime. Edit: Removed some further nonsense I mixed up.

Maybe Valve should expand into digital Anime & Manga distribution (as opposed to streaming). That is also one of those areas where a market failure leads to a lot of piracy, similar to how it was with computer games before Valve made digital stores popular.

A VR port would be probably cool. Although I would probably not want to do the more extreme stunts in VR ;)

Quoting: vipor29considering this runs very well in proton.i mean if it runs better native then cool.

Yeah, too bad the game itself is kind of meh. Why did they have to cramp in all that open-world and crafting nonsense? Really feels like a me-too game now, while the older parts where just a solid (linear) single player experience.

Oh and that entire "girlfriend and her father" thing? Really cringe worthy :(

Anyone knows if this also fixes the multiplayer issues recently introduced by the 64bit port of Company of Heroes 2?

Too bad this is single-player only. A free/libre MMO like that would be cool.
