Is he so obese because he's full of money?

Does Valve still make games?

Every once in a blue moon. Half Life: Alyx came out this year.

PS5 will be sitting under my OLED TV. I never bought the PS4 as it was very disappointing. I put SSDs in my last two PS3s and it made a huge difference in load times.

Your loss, company is responsible for some of the most legendary games and franchises of all time. I think Sony has done quite a bit more for gaming innovation than MS willl ever do, as well.

Heard of that Half Life Alyx that came out this year and sold out their VR headset?

He? What do you mean?

Well , I wish he would show his appreciation by making the index and knuckle controllers available to purchase from within NZ.

True and the hardware on it's own doesn't sell a console I mean look at SEGA or other obscure instances that came too early to the market and cost a arm and a leg or didn't have enough software titles to go along with it.

I would prefer PC any time
