Yeah, yeah. Unless they actually launch those games, what's the point?

And we all know that Valve can't count to three, so it won't be L4D 3 .

L4D3:
This year, Source 2, Vulkan, partnered with AMD / Radeon.
Just you wait.
Get ready to have some fun, and buy some microtransactions.

Well, to wait is the only thing we can do right now. Maybe, just maybe, we'll get something at GDC.

In any case, I don't play multiplayer games so even if they do announce L4D3 (which I still doubt), I'll be safe from the damn microtransactions as I won't care about it.

I hope they would put their games on Steam, but it looks like they only do it with games they publish, not develop. Alan Wake and Quantum Break made it to Steam, but Gears, mainline Halo and Forza haven't.

We'll see if this new AoE makes it to Steam like 2 did or not.

 

If Microsoft thinks they can push PC users to their store with AoE 4, they will likely fail.
At best, they will be treated as fondly as Origin or Uplay.
Microsoft has virtually no chance of becoming a GOG or Steam: not in Microsoft's current state.

As I said in todays news, what yesterday was a "no on Steam" is now a "maybe on Steam", and soon it will be an "also on Steam".

AoE4 is harder to tell as it's a completely new game, but since all their strategy games have landed on Steam (AoE 2, Rise of the Nations, Halo Wars...), I hope it also comes to Valve's platform.
