Quoteworthy: Microsoft on Returning to Steam [12:00 pm ET] – Share – 39 Comments
"I look at Steam today, it’s on an incredible growth trajectory,"
Microsoft's Phil Spencer
told Giant Bomb at E3 2016. "It’s a massive force in gaming; a positive
force. I think it will be bigger a year from now than it is today. And five
years later it will still be bigger again. I look at Valve as an important
[independent software vendor] for us on Windows. They are a critical part of
gaming’s success on Windows. I don’t think Valve’s hurt by not having our
first-party games in their store right now. They’re doing incredibly well. We
will ship games on Steam again." Thanks
