Looks at Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout 3....Bethesda is thriving and better than ever.
Looks at Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, most of Mass Effect 3, Dragon Age Origins, and Star Wars The Old Republic....Bioware seems alive and well to me.
I agree with Bethesda but Bioware... Dragon age 2, ME3... yeah...

Bioware is pretty good on the technical front, but good god, they need to get their creative staff sorted out, because they can make great characters and individual level plots, but they shit the bed when it comes to overarching plots.Up until the ending ME3 was pretty great. It's a lot better with the extended ending and the final DLC. I just pretend like DA2 never happened. DA inquisition looks great though.

It feels like everyone has ACIV except me.
Thanks for The Showdown Effect Arthea! On a side note I finished Angelica Weaver the other day, which I was also lucky enough to win from you. Not a bad little puzzler! Hopefully I enjoy this one too
STEAM 2013 Announcements & Updates wVIII: for the dailies you bastards!
My question is: Why do you want to be hired by Valve? To improve the client, sure. But what is your goals in improving the client?
If I was Gabe, I'd ask you this. You can't show lowest prices for obvious reasons. So that leaves the friend management and all the other stuff. But your future goals in revamping the client would be...?
I think the first order of business would be to clean up the various bugs and things with their existing code (some of which Enhanced Steam does) like fixing various "image not available" on banners and things on wishlists, fixing bad links, fixing 404 errors, etc.
The ultimate goal would be for me to be on the team that creates the next iteration of the Steam website. This way, I can help design how the website will work from the very beginning of the process. There are quite a few things now that even Enhanced Steam can't do - they're limitations of how the original site was created several years ago. I'd like to be on the team that does this and help shape things to come to create a completely better user experience.

Wait, I vaguely recall something about COD games actually having a separate listing for MAC in steam. As in you wouldn't get the Windows version as well. Is this true? Otherwise I'd totally bite on at least COD2.
The first order of business would be getting Gunman Chronicles on Steam.
Not Wheelman?!
So when I finally want this game too, you abandon it?
Way to go! (><)
Just out of curiosity, have you ever had any real contact with Valve? Are they interested in your work? If you don't mind me asking.
Thanks. Bought and redeemed COD2. NewEgg's storefront is cumbersome for digital keys. Sheesh.It's only true of Black Ops as the Mac version is self-published by Aspyr.
I've had quite a bit of contact with several different Valve people online. About 9 months ago, I contacted Gabe Newell who forwarded my message to the head of Steam development and told him to answer any questions I had about the code. He even made some changes to Steam (at my request) and offered to meet with me at Valve HQ.
When I visited Valve in May, I only had like... maybe 40,000 downloads. They were impressed but wanted to know when I thought I'd hit 50,000 or 100,000. I jokingly told them it would be when the Summer Sale started. Sure enough, 2 days before the sale started I hit my 100,000th download.
Anyway, while I was there I asked "What's the best way to be considered for a job at Valve?" And the answer I got was "Take something we've done, and make it better." So, I was on the right track.
After the Summer Sale I started shopping my resume (which included a full page of my work with Enhanced Steam) to several different people at Valve. I only got one response which was "Our team isn't interested at this time..."
So, refusing to give up on my dreams, I continue coding new Enhanced Steam features, working my shitty job where I'm losing benefits and pay soon, and dreaming of a day when Valve calls me home.

Are all of the game keys in the Humble WB Games Bundle separate or are some of the games combined into one key?

I imagine that a job at Valve is very desired by many.
Nevertheless good luck to you!
Especially as we'll have representative of Valve in steam thread if you succeed
may be we already have, only I'm ignorant, who knows

Representative / Spy
I guarantee you that there are already Valve employees who watch this thread. Can't you feel them ... lurking?

there is so much cool stuff in early access right now but I don't want to take the plunge and get frustrated by half baked functionality.

I don't even...
What's the point of Early Access for a big major who also owns one of the main competitors??
If they want to cash in before time, they should pull an Early Access program on uPlay.
Too late. I already did that with X: Rebirth.
They're both thriving, sure, but "better than ever" is pretty subjective for either company. A lot of people are unhappy with post-Morrowind Bethesda, and a lot of people are unhappy with modern Bioware. But let's not get into that can of worms in this thread.Looks at Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout 3....Bethesda is thriving and better than ever.
Looks at Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, most of Mass Effect 3, Dragon Age Origins, and Star Wars The Old Republic....Bioware seems alive and well to me.
