Relevant enough to post here.

Long ago, powerful AAA games fought a desperate civil war across the industry. The noble 4X games, and the evil FPSs fought to within inches of final victory for the FPSs.

And then suddenly, they dropped in quality.

Their departure opened the door to the younger companies to make their way into the industry, but their progress was slow, for their ability to distribute great distances was limited by the Publishers. The Publishers could only send games between any stores.

The rise of the youngest company, Valve, on Earth in the 21st century let to a discovery that would shatter the industry balance: Steam. With this technology, games could distribute great distances on their own.

Now, the younger companies have found themselves in a race to research, develop, grow, and ultimately conquer the industry.

But as they will soon learn, there are far better titles in the industry... than each other.

Valve did NOT invent digital distribution.  The Atari 2600 had GameLine, for instance, in the early 1980s.

I am still not crazy about Valve, and if I can get a game free of Steam (though certainly I steer clear of even more intrusive and proprietary 'services' like Origin) from another service (like Banished! on gog), I will go that route.

True, but they did introduce it to the mass market. Plus, I had to work with what I had.

Well, the Drengin are known for their cruelty. From Rom Coms they would go on to reinvent the Twilight saga in the 31st Century.

And those who survived would weep, wishing they wept tears of blood. And those not yet dying would beg for death. Just like many did a thousand years before in similar circumstances
