Gabe Newell Talks EA and Valve Issues Head of Valve, Mr Gabe Newell, has publicly commented for the first time on his firm’s issues with EA Games. The latter publisher historically pulled their biggest titles from the digital distribution service around claims of restrictive usage practices and for being the only platform like this that adhered to such rules. “We have to show EA it’s a smart decision to have EA games on Steam, and we’re going to try to show them that,” Newell said. “Companies have to earn the right to install content on their customers’ PCs on a regular basis. The same thing is true of Steam. We have to prove we are creating value on an ongoing basis, whether it’s to EA or Ubisoft or whoever,” Newell revealed in an interview with Develop. It seems that while Gabe hasn’t been specific about the issues between the two gaming firms, the problem most likely stems from DLC inclusion. In the past steam allowed DLC to be sold directly through the game. However, now Valve are forcing companies to sell all game related content through their platform; allowing them to take a small cut. Everytime EA games attempted to sell their add-0ns through the game, it would break Steam’s TOS and would cause the game’s to be pulled. This happened with Crysis 2 and with Dragon Age 2. “We really want to show there’s a lot of value having EA titles on Steam,” Newell continued. “We want EA’s games on Steam and we have to show them that’s a smart thing to do. I think at the end of the day we’re going to prove to Electronic Arts they have happier customers, a higher quality service, and will make more money if they have their titles on Steam. It’s our duty to demonstrate that to them. We don’t have a natural right to publish their games.” Evidently EA believes they can make more by not giving Valve their cut, despite missing out on Steam based sales of the games and their content. Their latest take on the problem is generalised, but cutting. EA said they are, “happy to partner with any download service that does not restrict our ability to connect directly with consumers.” Oh snap.

Gabe Newell Cainteanna EA agus Saincheisteanna comhla Tá trácht Ceann comhla, an tUas Gabe Newell, go poiblí don chéad uair ar a ghnólachta ceisteanna le Cluichí EA. An foilsitheoir sin ceirteacha tarraingthe go stairiúil a n-teidil is mó as an tseirbhís a dháileadh ar fud digiteach éilimh ar chleachtais srianta úsáide agus as a bheith ar an ardán amháin mar seo go gcloítear leis na rialacha sin. "Tá a thaispeáint EA tá sé cinneadh cliste a bheith acu cluichí EA ar Gaile, agus táimid ag dul chun iarracht a dhéanamh chun a thaispeáint dóibh go bhfuil," a dúirt Newell. "Tá na gCuideachtaí a thuilleamh an ceart ábhar a shuiteáil ar a gcuid custaiméirí 'ríomhairí pearsanta ar bhonn rialta. Is é an rud céanna fíor na Gaile. Tá a chruthú táimid ag luach a chruthú ar bhonn leanúnach, bíodh sé le EA nó Ubisoft nó cibé duine, "Léirigh Newell in agallamh leis a fhorbairt . Dealraíonn sé go cé nach bhfuil Gabe a bhí ar leith faoi na ceisteanna idir an dá gnólachtaí cearrbhachas, Eascraíonn an fhadhb is dóichí ó cuimsiú DLC. San am atá caite DLC gaile a cheadaítear a dhíol go díreach tríd an chluiche. Mar sin féin, anois tá comhla forcing cuideachtaí a dhíol gach cluiche ábhar a bhaineann le trína n-ardán; ligean dóibh a ghlacadh a ísliú beag. Everytime iarracht cluichí EA chun a gcuid mbreiseán 0ns tríd an cluiche, go mbeadh sé sos Gaile ar TOS agus a bheadh ina chúis é an cluiche a tharraingt. Tharla sé seo le Crysis 2 agus le Dragon Aois 2. "Ba mhaith linn a thaispeáint i ndáiríre níl a lán de luach a bhfuil teideal EA ar Gaile," Lean Newell. "Ba mhaith linn cluichí EA ar Gaile agus ní mór dúinn a thaispeáint dóibh go bhfuil an rud cliste a dhéanamh. I mo thuairimse, ag deireadh an lae táimid ag dul a chruthú chun Ealaíon Leictreonach bhfuil siad custaiméirí níos sásta, seirbhís ar chaighdeán níos airde, agus beidh a dhéanamh níos mó airgid má tá siad a gcuid teidil ar Gaile. Tá sé de dhualgas orainn a léiriú dóibh. Ní chuirimid Tá sé de cheart nádúrtha a fhoilsiú a gcuid cluichí. " Evidently Creideann EA féidir leo a dhéanamh níos mó ag an ní a thabhairt comhla a ghearradh, in ainneoin iarraidh amach ar dhíolacháin Gaile bunaithe ar na cluichí agus a n-ábhar. Tá a thógáil ar a dhéanaí ar an bhfadhb ginearálta, ach gearradh. EA a dúirt go bhfuil siad, "sásta dul i gcomhpháirtíocht le seirbhís ar bith nach bhfuil srian a íoslódáil ár gcumas chun nascadh go díreach le tomhaltóirí." Oh Léim.
