大綱：

G胖：我不需要你的承諾，你本來就會把COD放在steam上



簡單翻譯

Valve head Gabe Newell has casually declined an agreement with Microsoft to
put Call of Duty on Steam in the future.

G胖謝絕微軟的COD未來會放在steam上的承諾


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.

微軟昨天說會把COD放到任上面十年
G胖也拿到差不多的提案，但是被他打槍了


"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."


「很開心軟軟願意繼續用steam營運cod，我們都認同策略應該是不只讓軟軟的客戶開心
也要繼續讓steam的消費者開心」

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胖說他也有收到像是任天堂收到的長期承諾
但是他覺得「其實沒有很必要啦」
因為這種約有可能長期會綁住他們



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背景介紹，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覺得MS本來就會讓COD繼續待在Steam上
畢竟有現代戰爭2的前車之鑑
而且你都丟到任上了，沒理由不放上來
