大纲:
G胖:我不需要你的承诺,你本来就会把COD放在steam上
简单翻译
Valve head Gabe Newell has casually declined an agreement with Microsoft to
put Call of Duty on Steam in the future.
G胖谢绝微软的COD未来会放在steam上的承诺
Yesterday, on December 6, Microsoft announced a pledge to bring Call of Duty
to Nintendo consoles for the next 10 years. Now, Kotaku(opens in new tab)
reports that Valve received a similar proposition from Microsoft, but Valve
boss Gabe Newell turned down the offer from the company entirely.
微软昨天说会把COD放到任上面十年
G胖也拿到差不多的提案,但是被他打枪了
"We're happy that Microsoft wants to continue using Steam to reach customers
with Call of Duty when their Activision acquisition closes," Newell says.
"Microsoft has been on Steam for a long time and we take it as a signal they
are happy with gamers' reception to that and the work we are doing. Our job
is to keep building valuable features for not only Microsoft but all Steam
customers and partners."
“很开心软软愿意继续用steam营运cod,我们都认同策略应该是不只让软软的客户开心
也要继续让steam的消费者开心”
Then, Newell reveals that "Microsoft offered and even sent us a draft
agreement for a long-term Call of Duty commitment." However, the Valve head
shares that it "wasn't necessary for us," chiefly because the company doesn't
believe in agreements with a party that locks them into releasing games on
Steam "into the distant future."
G胖说他也有收到像是任天堂收到的长期承诺
但是他觉得“其实没有很必要啦”
因为这种约有可能长期会绑住他们
Call of Duty games have been absent from Steam since 2017, with WW2 ending
the annual launches on Valve's storefront. 2022's Modern Warfare 2 ended this
back in October, bringing the franchise back to Steam for a massive launch,
netting publisher Activision a record $1 in just 10 days from launch.
COD背景介绍,不翻了
Valve clearly believes Microsoft will keep Call of Duty on Steam going
forward entirely of their own volition. Looking at the evidence of Modern
Warfare 2's massive launch after coming back to Steam, and Microsoft pledging
to bring Call of Duty games to Nintendo consoles of all platforms, perhaps
this belief is well-founded.
Valve觉得MS本来就会让COD继续待在Steam上
毕竟有现代战争2的前车之鉴
而且你都丢到任上了,没理由不放上来

简单来说G胖意思是,他不相信拿长约绑客户在特定平台这种作法是健康的。
反正你爱来就来,想上Steam就上,这样很棒。不需要吵什么鸡巴条约,无聊
而且Steam用户数那么多,软本来就有动机把COD放上来
