Geoff Keighley hosts conference call regarding TGAs with fans and industry insiders
- Thread starter wwm0nkey
- Start date
Wasn't that a GameAwards chat or something? I wouldn't have expected announcements exactly, at least nothing that wasn't coming at the TGAs.
The only Valve-Microsoft news I want to hear is like Valve Headset support on Xbox or something like that. Or Gamepass interoperability with Steam would be also great, but I don't know if either thing would be even vaguely likely. I like the value of Gamepass but the launcher on PC is dreadful and Steam is the gold standard for launchers on PC, so if given the choice I would obviously use Steam.

my own hopes- likely to be dasshed in favour of some Valve game announcements for the stuff of theirs I don't care for (DOTA2/CS GO/ TF2)
Half Life Alyx somehow ported to XSX would be good.
Portal 2 on gamepasss would be good. New Portal even better.
Half Life games remade would be good.
Day of Defeat sequel would be good.
Gabe retiring and selling to MS, well, that would be, sure, why not.

Couldn't find any follow up on it, that's still exciting though actually!
Yep, this was just a Game Awards zoom chat with a bunch of fans. Phil Spencer was a special guest and Gabe stopped in as a surprise
I was on that call, do not get your hopes up for anything major. Won't share details due to confidentiality but nothing involving Gamepass/Steam collaborations.

Thanks! Will be updating the OP, just couldn't find any follow up about what this was!
While I'm a fan of the recent direction Microsoft is going, I would absolutely not want that to happen. I trust that Nadella and Spencer have a good vision - but all it would ever take to turn that into a bad scenario for PC would be a change of management 5 years down the line that suddenly makes a shift in course.
I like to think Gabe is so independently wealthy that he will never sell.
Why would Valve want Game Pass? They get enough revenue from third party sales. Maybe Microsoft wants Valve games on it.

Updated the OP, still excited we are getting into TGA season though.
EA Play is on steam so steam is open to having subscription services on it.
At face value, they wouldn't - but presumably, much like with EA Play existing on Steam now, if it came to Steam it would involve some kind of revenue sharing deal with Valve.
I'd legit consider subscribing if GP was on Steam. I'm not using that W10 store for anything.
..except Forza Horizon 3 since I was weak!
I don't know if I'd say-
holy shit, it's almost November...
At this point, maybe a request for a title change would be appropriate?

Right? We are almost done with 2020, thank god.
At this point though, might as well just close it though, any idea when we could get a TGA speculation thread up since it's that time of year though?
VNN trying to hype people over a Zoom call that doesn't require such hype or tease. There's literally nothing to hype or tease about what happened at this Zoom chat.
