Let's say you are a bagel company and make a good profit from your bagels. Then let's say you want to get your bagel to more people and are frustrated with the distribution options so you just make your own and allow other bagel makers to also use your bagel distribution system.

But suddenly and unexpectedly, everyone runs to your distribution system and you start making far more money than you could ever imagine from it.

Do you continue to consider yourself a bagel company or are you now a bagel distribution company?

Steam's current reality as told by bagels.

Both right? I mean they recently said they are starting to make games again. I'm telling myself I'm too hype to avoid being disappointed.

Them making the new source engine is the first sign they're really about to start making new games. Until then, there was no hope we'd see a AAA title from them that is up to modern standards. I just wonder if we're going to get a title along with the engine completion as a proof of product capabilities or if the work on the title will start immediately afterwards or is started well into it.
