Mai ka wā i hana ai ʻo Valve i ka hale kūʻai PC, Steam, ua haʻalele lākou i kā lākou hoʻomohala pāʻani. Ua loaʻa ka waiwai nui o Steam, a ʻo ia kekahi mea i hoʻomau mau ʻia e Valve. Ke hana mau nei lākou i nā pāʻani, akā naʻe, a i ka makahiki i hala ua ʻike lākou i kā lākou nui loa i nā makahiki me Half-Ola: Alyx, he komo hou i loko o ka moʻo dormant lōʻihi i lawe pono i ka ʻenehana VR hou. Eia kekahi, e hoʻomanaʻo ʻAla? Aia nō kēlā, manaʻo wau. I kēia manawa, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻoihana i ka pipeline.
Ua kamaʻilio pū ʻo Valve Co-Founder Gabe Newell Kōnae 1 e pili ana i nā kumuhana like ʻole me ka manaʻo nui i ka ʻike ʻana i nā Esports e hele mai ana i Aotearoa. Eia nō naʻe, ua hāʻule ʻo ia i kekahi ʻike i manaʻo ʻole ʻia, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana he "pāʻani i ka hoʻomohala ʻana a mākou e hoʻolaha ai."
