I’d love if they made a Companion Cube shell for it.

I was not going to buy a gabencube but now I might.

[–] Spitfire@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn’t that more of a wrap/skin for it? Or is it an actual new shell for it?

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago

Well it looks to be 3d.

[–] Jacob_Mandarin@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

If you recolour it you could rename it Orange Box. I really like that one for some reason.

TBF: it’s a great meme opportunity

I'm more interested in the new controller and the new VR stuff, myself. The cube is neat, not knocking it, but it's not a thing I'm in the market for personally.

Gamers aren't known for their originality

Gabe, the billionaire who gets constantly jerked off by gamers online and treated like him and his billionaire corporation are their friend.

That's because Valve has done awesome shit:

  • Made buying PC games simple. Automatic updates, free cloud saves, friends, etc.
  • Gave indie devs a market, so they could reach millions. Steam basically invented digital game downloading.
  • Pushed Linux gaming forward by funding driver and engine work, backed Vulkan, and built Proton.

Valve changed how PC games get sold and run, and made Linux gaming awesome. It was Gabe's vision that drove all of this. Sure he's massively rich, and the fanboyism can be kind of annoying, but just because a company got rich doesn't mean you can't like them.

The only real knock against him is the child gambling with lootboxes thing, but that's seemingly going away very slowly.
