Valve: Hey Microsoft, wanna partner with us to make a service that could put PC Gaming over the top? Microsoft: No, your idea is 10 years too soon. We don't want to have anything with you guys. Valve: You are losing a great opportunity. Microsoft: Whatever, we are going to consoles. We aren't focused on PC games. 2006Microsoft: How's business? Valve: Steam is all over. And you guys said it couldn't be done. Microsoft: But aren't you giving Steam for free? Valve: Yeah, which is why getting million of new costumers. Microsoft: Whatever, PC games don't sell. Consoles are where the money's at. Valve: But didn't you lose billions with the Xbox?! Microsoft: Yes, but our idea was to win the console industry with the Xbox 360, not the original Xbox. 2007Microsoft: Hey Valve, I'm launching GFWL! It will be a stronghold for PC gaming. Valve: Cool, but what is GFWL? Microsoft: It's like Xbox Live for PC, and you to pay to use it too. Valve: What the hell?! PC Gamers won't pay for GFWL ever! Microsoft: Whatever, we forced millions of console gamers to pay for nothing, PC gamers will too. Valve: It won't work. PC gamers can't be forced to use GFWL. Microsoft: We'll win, many big publishers are already supporting us. 2009Steam: So how's GFWL? Microsoft: Badly. No one paid for it, so we had to make GFWL free. Steam: I told you. Microsoft: Whatever, PC Gaming is dying. We're closing down all our PC studios. Steam: WTF?! That's insane! You'll regret this. Microsoft: PC Gaming is dying, and the money's on consoles. Steam: You should stop reading NPD numbers... 2010Microsoft: *reads PR statement* "PC Gaming is important to us. We are always committed to PC Gaming" Valve: Huh?! Microsoft: We are coming back in full force to PC Gaming! We are releasing new games on PC, and GFWL will be a stronghold for PC Gaming. Valve: I've heard this before. Have you even released anything in the past 3 years on PC. Microsoft: No, "but we are committed..." Valve: Dude, look: Microsoft: We thought PC Gaming was dying... Valve: PC was the only platform to grow in 2009, and 2010 so far. It has always been growing. It was your fault for only reading NPD, and now Steam is so big that we are on MAC now. HAHAHAHA!!!! |
