G4: "In this week's Soapbox The Sess discusses the future of digital distribution and what he thinks may be going on behind the scenes."
Half-Life and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw has detailed how his team has been using Generative AI for research and development at Valve.

Valve has responded to New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against the firm, stating it does not believe that lootboxes in its Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 games unlawfully encourage minors to gamble, adding it was "disappointed" to see the action go ahead despite efforts to "educate" the NYAG about virtual items since "early 2023."
Why is this even a discussion. EA obviously wants a share in digital distribution to expand the company. No, it's not going to overtake Steam so let's not cry about this anymore.
This guy is supposed to be a gaming critic? The reasoning behind the "spat" is obvious to me.
Origin will probably just be another GWFL.
I wonder why no1 compared the two yet, guess GFWL no longer a factor or something.
When this really kicks off all of the devs and pubs are going to want to be in on it. I'm sure the last ppl they want to find an exploit is gamestop and others like that that make a killing off these games.
The only reason why I like STEAM over Origins is, Valve has way better deals/variety of games, and since I already built up quite a collection, I'd rather have everything in one central area.
