I think this is a good point: Valve doesn't make games, but it definitely seems to be trying out other gaming-related things. Examples: * Steam Machine [0], an alternative to consoles * Proton [1], incredible boost to gaming on Linux *

It's not just nostalgia. Nintendo keeps providing excellent gaming experience that no one else does. Super Mario Odyssey is awesome not because it's the same old Mario guy from NES, but because it is just a great game. Nintendo ga
