X8X_XZDX aka Bonkdor_#0904
Hey could I talk to ya'll about a project I am working on concerning the source engine and valwe as a company staying open

<@297987518815535115> , you mean Source c0de automatic generation engine ? By valwe you mean like valve for fluids, air or Valve as in SteamOS Linux gaming platform ? 😄🐧Some technologies have gathered to move gaming away from DirectX/Draw & $-$oft now: Godot 4.0 (Unity pandan) , Ati Amd Vulkan (made by Floss Community & ecoSystem), OpenGL, OpenCL, ProtonDB (onTheFly DX conversion to At And Vulkan),... 🐧

<@297987518815535115> Could you elaborate further / deeper, coz just yesterDay, i was tinkering on tripleBoot on our notebook of: Debian GnuLinuxPPC64 endianBig, all three Amigoids (A-OS 4.1 finEd, MorphOS 3.17, ArOS 2.3) & Valve SteamOS 😄🐧 New Vulkan renderer & 3D features of Godot 4.0 ; Mladen Bošnjak | DORS/CLUC 2022 https://youtu.be/VvIjdah6ILI

Well it certainly would be cool to have processor arch ports of source, that's for sure
I'll do a oneshot description and let DeepL do the translating for me how about haha
want to see what your message is first though
Well anyways
So valve has a history of not talking to their users.  This is going to end up putting them in financial trouble and they are now starting to hate their users on top of it.  Valve is a mod company, for all intent and purpose.  And internally mimic a FOSS company / structure very closely.

Where I see problems is over time they have gone from game dev, to game and mod dev, to game amd mod maintainer with a software repo, then a store, now the store is the main focus, now add product dev, no readd game dev, they're just kinda squirming in place.  Yes they have 13 bill, but thats kind of where they are going to rest if they continue doing what they are doing.

Essentially, valve has made multiple platform-centric things that, if they wanted to, they could orchestrate into gamer facebook, basically.  They have streaming, they have social spaces, they need a little bit of infrastructure tweaking and thats it.

But they aren't doing that.  If they did they'd have all sorts of new revenue sources.  But, because they have been squirming in place for several years now, making some headway in some spaces, but only because of RIDICULOUS inward revenue, I can see a point where they start doing more malicious business practices like EA.  They already have started to, and nternally in their offices they are starting to have social problems that resemble Activision.  Obviously because its valve, not EA or Activision, they have their own style of problem, but its still there.
If you look up their revenue they have 13 billion.  8.6 of that is Gabe Newell, and if he died from Covid or left the company that puts valve in the same pool as EA activision whoever.  Legit.

My solution is, as stated, expand the social media aspect of it.  But, do it in a very original fashion.  Do it like Newgrounds did it.  The only reason Newgrounds is even still a thing is because they kept to THEIR guns doing it THEIR way.

So for Valve, this would optimally be having their own version of Nexus mods, but for Game Dev in general.  What I would propose to them is Opening the Source Engine up so that people who know how to fix it can work on it, and other things that want to be more than mods like Counter Strike Classic Offensive can be more than mods, with the added bonus of existing games being community run.  Thinking CSS or TF2.  TF2 especially since the game is literally made out of its own community.  TF2 itself looks like a linux distro to me with who has contributed and how many people play it.  Just too many similarities.

Originally this started out as letting the TF2 community continue the game, but as I have been analyzing the issue overall, that whole plan makes the most sense.
BTW its like 3 AM here just so anyone is aware
RN I'm trying to figure out how to organize this into a post, a presentation, a youtube video.... something, but I am the only person working on this proposal, and anyone I asked to hlp me laughed at me.  So I continue to work quietly.

I see Mladen talked also on unRealEngine in his presentation, i wonder how would Valve react, if we propose SteamOSPPC endianBig (AltiVectOr Unit / VelocityEngine; intel got his solution some 26 years late 🙄) & endianLittle is in Deb stable release Power8/9 port, as we would need also with A-OS, M-OS, ArOS teams... Although GnuLinux in general has that wine, crossOver (frontEnd for wine), playOnLinux,... Tecnologies🐧 we have some Lisps Artificaal Inteligence tensorFlow Rust experts in 1 of 3 local lackLabs when needed \o/ it would be nice to ,txt copyPaste this thread to our mailing list (some 400 readers), forum, slack, ... If not otherwise, by pasteBin ; oh you mentioned lot if gaming firms, yesterday i just talked to one guy on our CroTeam (SeriousSam), 32 bita doo,... & Some other guys moving before from mentioned Amiga ElectronicArts to x86 winBlou$ gaming; i'll edit, as i read your post 😃

Bonkdor is my twitch, theres info about the original TF2 idea there.  X8X XZDX is my twitter and you can find info there as well.
Hmmmm IDK if they have interest outside of the X86 market.  They'd need to understand the "Modding" aspect I am trying to present first.  However, I'm sure once they understood that, they'd think it was neat.  Halo was PPC originally, so theres some history to look at if they really needed convincing.  Realistically speaking though thats a long ways off from right now.
Though, as an end goal, I think a source port of Source is a cool idea. If you needed one in order to help I mean. idk
anyways I need to sleep. @X8X_xzdx is my twitter, Bonkdor_ is my twitch, more info is available there.  I need to go to bed.uh
well the name in my handle is my twitter handle just put an @ on it. IDK if I am explaining well, but you can find literally everything I mean very easily.  Night for now, see you in a while.

Pleasant rest 🛀 🛌 i will conTempleOS-ate further through day, putUp some mindMap on paper for not Activision on BlizzardPowerBoard G2, but hackTivism to change Valve  😃🐧💾 i suppose yu🐝soft @Cageman  from Amigans Discord, could find this thread interesting, he had new AmigaOne x5000 Power7, we build Power8book 🙂 how to crossLinkIt ?
<@409262262625370118> <@746404538797392032> Like I said the info is on my individual pages.  But I need help actually writing the whole thing out. I need to condense it.  I was trying to ask gamers to help me and that was very very stupid of me.
If this is something that could go in your mailing list as a "Hey come help brainstorm" sort of thing that would be dope.
ATM I am doing a massive network reconstruction and hardware upgrade in general.  I will only be available for voice chat for the next few days as I need my hands elsewhere.  If anything comes up HMU. If I am going to do this I need to be extremely well prepared for flak from public entities or attacks from generally mentally ill individuals.  I've seen the bad and the good with this, so I am being extremely careful in who I try to talk to now.
How to crosslink ? IE share this: I was thinking of building a discord originally but I hadn't really gotten anyone to connect.  I still have the discord though.
OBV anyone who wants to say something please do.  This is an open community effort from FOSS users to Valve employees / valve in general. TBH the biggest thing I need outside of this network upgrade is just people who are willing to help and keep notes.  There is so god damn much going on right now its almost impossible to keep track of anything lol.
