Does Valve even have to release games to make money?

I like to think I made a difference in that statistic, if it weren't for me it would only be 29999999 accounts

I still strongly dislike the client. If it tries to do something and you try to tell it to do something else it handles the disagreement by locking up, overall is very slow. It's not just my computer, it's been like that on every computer I've had and all of my friend's.

I would like if there was some sort of Steam Lite. It would be super basic with only basic game launching and chatting abilities.

Really, I just hate the program, I love the idea.

The Steam infrastructure sounds like some kind of diabolical super machine.

They would have over 30 million zombies at their command...

Though, 30 million zombie gamers might not be the best army.

I think I have like a 5 digit in Counter Strike. Everyone used to talk about how important that was, but I haven't really heard a word about that in years. I also haven't played CS seriously in years, so I'm probably just uninformed.
It's quite simple really. I want to be a professional level designer. I want this to be my job.

This is cool news. At the same time though, I'm a little afraid that Valve is going to start making so much money from their publishing/steam end that they'll stop being a good, caring developer and become an evil publishing giant like EA or Activision. Maybe I'm just paranoid though....

Oh, and my steam id is 17-digit :P
