Out of her list of 3 games, I suspect:

1) Halo because Microsoft
2) Valheim because someone said it was good and she went with that
3) As a kid she played goldeneye on N64 a few times at a friends house or watched a sibling play it or played with a sibling

#3 might be the most likely game she played. I’m sure if I asked my most anti-video game relative what their top games were, it would probably be Mario Kart on N64 and Excitebike on NES because I’m pretty sure those are the only games they ever played on console as a kid

I doubt she has ever touched a video game in her life. Or even watched one being played.

Here is the bigger picture.

Valve is going to eat their fucking lunch.

Steam Machine will be plug and play, streamlined, with the strongest library and ease of use to enter the market in the living room with a streamlined OS and ZERO paywalls for what MS and Sony and Nintendo charge for basic online play. Not only that, the OS will destroy Windows 11 as a gaming OS. Then, add the Steamdeck which will get a hardware upgrade, and watch the market share vanish overnight as MS, Nintendo, and Sony slept.

This lady literally said she just created an account to understand the world of gaming. She doesn't understand culture, buying habits, game development, or an ability to have ANY thought leadership of the gaming industry as a whole. Any leader in a division of a major corporation has at least the foundational level of knowledge of the industry segment they lead, and when they don't, it leads to disastrous consequences.

MS is fucked. And it's about time. Because this not only opens up the gaming market to Valve, it also goes after something Microsoft deathly protects - WIndows.

I guarantee you it won't be long before Steam OS hits main line PC's.

agreed.

I’m surprised how big a fanboy I was back in the early 00’s to 10. I tried coming up with a good list of exclusives and couldn’t come up with anything. They’re done.

The sooner people can move away from Windows the better we are as a society. I get people need it to game but I left Windows a year ago and will never go back.
