Steam doesn't play games anon (well it can play browser ones).

imaine being so shit at developing any solution a fat retard with drm store had to come in and save you from playing tux cart all day.

Are people on here too young or is it just memory holed how absolutely shit Steam was for many years? I pirate everything so I don't use it other than the occasional online game that requires it.

Yeah, this is why i go gog or piracy

Now that I think about it, the whole "gaben is le epic savior of pc gaming" meme of the 2010s was a borderline psyop to get you to worship Valve. Wasn't there a thing in 2015 where the Linux client would nuke your entire home directory? It just seems that for a company as big as they are, they're honestly incompetent at doing anything other than getting kids addicted to gambling.

Everything you both said is wrong. You can play many games on steam without the DRM all together its simple and its purely up to the creator of the game to allow for the drm. you stupid faggots.
>kids addicted to gambling.
i hope all children are addicted to gambling.

It is memoryholed
>Popularized online DRM
>Forced updates (still to this day)
>had offline mode as a excuse, but it randomly turns off
>popularized lootboxes & gambling
>still hasn't stopped real-money gambling with lootboxes (Only stopped the casinos because they got money instead of valve)
>Stopped making good games to just rent-seek
>turned games you bought because they were fair and clean into lootbox gambling hat simulators with p2w benefits
>Invented paid mods (Barely pays the modders)
>Added refunds only because Origin had it and pressure from governments

Valve was never "the good guys".

As I remember it, it was only really around sales and it was always seen as a joke, making fun of gaben too. The fanatics seem to have only come in recent years

Throw out some ideas I'm programming something similar to Steam, but better

Both

not true. I remember when I first installed it. I didnt give a shit I just wanted to play hl2. never even used it till much later.
>>
>>109946009
All I'm saying is it's odd that the store has zero quality control and the fact that the first party games are some of the most dysfunctional. It wouldn't install confidence if I went into wall mart and their own brand had truly awful QA full of anti consumer garbage.

Windows 98 called, it wants its active desktop patent royalties.
