They don't have any experience as a publisher. They don't have any experience with mass marketing. All they did so far is a gaming store / platform with digital distribution. Yeah, the internet likes them, but this is not enough to sell 50million+ consoles. I expect Valve to fail if they really go that route. |
So, Half-Life 1/2, Portal 1/2, Left for Dead 1/2, and Team Fortress 1/2 just don't exist? Valve published all of those.
And Steam sales are legendary. There are over 40 million steam subscribers/members. If that's not a mass market, I don't know what is.
As far as their own box, there's a reason they're currently developing new controllers, headsets, and a Linux platform all at the same time :)
