Muva nje sekufike izindaba ezanele ngokuthuthuka okuvela kwabanye Amaphrojekthi we-Valve, njengeklayenti lakho le-Steam, noma i-Proton, njll. Kepha iqiniso ukuthi, maqondana nemidlalo yevidiyo, bekungekho zimemezelo ezinkulu ezikhathini zakamuva, ngale kweHalf Life Alyx entsha. Kepha, ngokusho kukaGabe Newell, iValve Software ayimile futhi inamaphrojekthi amaningi aqhubekayo.
UGabe Newell Ukhulume ngeValve noSteam ngaphambi komuntu osebenzelana nomuntu eNew Zealand (lapho anqume ukuhlala khona kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2020 ngemuva kokuqeda iholide lakhe lapho lapho isimo somhlaba siba sibi kakhulu nobhadane), lapho aqinisekisa khona ukuthi bathuthukisa imidlalo ethile yevidiyo umzuzwana.
Phakathi kwezitatimende ezenziwa nguGabe, ngaphandle kwamahlaya, bekukhona nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu ngabadlali abathile. Futhi ukuthi wabuzwa ukuthi yini angayilindela ngeqoqo elilandelayo lemidlalo yevidiyo. Ngaleyo ndaba, unjiniyela uqinisekise: «Nakanjani sinemidlalo ekuthuthukisweni sizomemezela, kumnandi ukukhipha imidlalo. U-Alyx ubemuhle, ebuyela ekwenzeni imidlalo eyodwa yomdlali, lokho kudale umfutho omkhulu ngaphakathi enkampanini ukwenza okuningi kwalokho.".
Lokho wukuthi, kubonakala sengathi Impahla yomdlalo wevidiyo Abazilungiselela bazobhekiswa emidlalweni yomuntu oyedwa, beshiye umzuzwana wabadlali abaningi, okulungile, kepha i-singleplayer nayo iyamangalisa (futhi iphephe kakhulu). Izindaba ezinkulu zomhlaba wokudlala, ikakhulukazi ukwazi ukuthi futhi banokusekelwa kweLinux engqondweni, okufanele kubongwe. Eqinisweni, yonke imidlalo yabo yevidiyo yamanje inezinguqulo zendabuko zeLinux. Isibonelo, izihloko ezinjenge-Artifact, Underlords, Half-Life: I-Alyx (yize ingashiwongo ngqo, iyatholakala).
Manje basishiya nathi uju ezindebeni, futhi akwaziwa ngempela ukuthi yini ongayilindela kule nqwaba yemidlalo yevidiyo elungiselelwe. Ngabe zikhona izihloko ezizofika ngawo wonke u-2021? Sizobona…
