• I think suggesting that Valve need any given game (CoD) or even genre (“games like CoD”) to remain successful is silly at best. Of course Steam, the Steam Deck, and as a result Valve are only successful or even exist at all because of video game studios and publishers. But Call of Duty specifically? Nah man, it’s a blip on the radar for Steam.

      Only as successful as they currently are.

      They would have still been successful based on their games, I think, and without steam to “distract” them, they might have counted to 3 by now.
