Prey dev wants Valve to split Steam into a separate company - Dec 01, 2006 03:26
Now I know many won' t be hugely interested in this more PC oriented news, but it' s got some thoughts about what direction buying console games is heading. Today Live Arcade - Tomorrow Live AAA.

Basically, Scott Miller wants to buy games from Steam but not give Valve any money! Giving the argument that Steam would be better off independent and therefore more flexible to what games it can take on.

But the line up of games on Steam is great and diverse including some niche games that really benefit from Steams popularity. I just bought a game called RACE: WTCC off there, which is awesome!

Add to that that Prey is actually going to be sold on Steam (!) I can' t see Valve just giving up perhaps its biggest asset just cos now Miller has to pay Valve to buy his own game!
