What if the reason Gabe Newell was such a benevolent dictator over Steam is that he's covenanted with the international deep state to pacify men with easy access to games?>Has total control over everyone's vidya collection>Never started racketeering like any other company would've >Never went public, so Gabe Newell has full control over the product. >Us government, Mossad, et al. allow him to keep from being snuffed out, outcompeted/anti trusted, and above all wealthy beyond his dreams.>Valve since 2016 has played ball with the Rothschild trusts, "buying their patents" in order for lawsuits to be dropped quickly.>All of this for men to escape reality and avoid causing any problems for the elite.What are the implications of Valve Corp. being a possible psyop?
>>540777456private business jewdeal with it
>>540777456Nah he's bought. That's what the yacht is, it's a virtue signal to the elites. Steam will overtime turn into a propaganda machine like Microsoft, gay shit will get turbo promoted and chud games will get buried under shovelware
>>540777456Turns out all you have to do is not be a spiteful towards your customers piece of shit corporate kike putting profit above all and you can have a super successful company and make billions. Who would have thought...
>>540777456He's a piece of shit who's ruining PC gaming>you will rent games for full price and never own your games againI can't wait till he dies
>>540777456Shut up kike you faggots are mad valve is private, he BTFO a Rothschild kike pedophile in court, and refuses to take his company public so you can stuff it with trannies.
>>540777882>kikes literally lyingWhat isnt a lie is KIKES RAPE KIDS!
>>540779401>refuses to take his company public so you can stuff it with tranniesSo I'm not going to get to play Vagina simulator 2030?
>>540777882>>you will rent games for full price and never own your games againExcept Gabe didn't make that choice. A lawsuit forced him to. For all intents and purposes, the "you don't own your games" is true only in writing and writing alone, if Gabe never decides to enforce it, which he never will so long as he lives.
>>540777456With the attack of ai companies buying up a shit ton of GPUs right when the steam pc was around the corner fucking steam's prospects of a nice 500-600$ pricetag, it seems highly unlikely that Gabe is bought out
>>540777456He actually kept his company privately held aka he doesn't has to answer to jewish faggots just because they bought paper with fake monopoly money
>>540777882Except none of that shit has ever happened with Valve.
>>540777811Porn games have been all over the front page for years, mate.
>>540777456Valve gets a lot of flack because Gabe was smart enough to keep it insulated from the normal means of control that the megacorps use to slush everything together. But so long as steam exists, he can just choose to *not be retarded* and basically print money indefinitely while all of the extremely gay gimmicky bullshit the bigger companies try to force into the gaming and computer space falls apart because Steam is a cheaper, better alternative that undercuts them just by existing. They'd love to capture Valve, but they can't because its private and Gabe is an actually smart person who has goals other than short term profits so he's difficult to bribe. Which is a real problem for them, because Proton and SteamOS are making Linux a far more viable competitor to gatekept and backdoored AI slop like Windows, which subverts their ability to have control over everyone's personal computers.
bump
>>540780607Great post
>>540777456Singular ownership. Gabe is in for the long haul, not a short term pump and dump. When a company does dickish things it's because they want money now and don't care if it ruins the company's reputation in the long run. Steam does the opposite, trading profits now for reputation and profits later.
>>540777456
>>540777456I don't understand collecting games like books. Maybe it's cause I'm a Dev myself and am too busy working on my game to play a million other ones. I mainly just play emulators and Melee. Nothing on Steam really interests me except System Shock 2 and maybe getting back into finishing Deus Ex way later. Old good new bad
>>540780607This. Megacorps like to do stupid bullshit that earns them quick cash before selling off the company to Private Equity. Gabe wants to play the long game.
>>540777456Or here's a crazy idea, he was a good person who got rich and unlike faggot businessmen who are souless actually has a soul and wants to run a store people like? Some people don't need to fuck everyone over for an extra penny.
>>540782957Then what Steam does for you is preserve your favorite games. Steam lets you redownload games you got decades ago and never removes them from your account. 20 years down the road you'll still be able to download HF2 off of steam.
>>540783054Truke but the steam cult is weird. Practically every guy I have ever known has a gigantic library. I would prefer to keep my library small but thanks to friends it's just a hair over what I'd like it to be. I only buy new games once finishing the ones I have. I think that's what should be normal
>>540780607Glowniggers have infiltrated and subverted open source software for years to make it less competitive than commercial products with built in backdoors. It took fucking 18 years for KDE to allow you to drag and drop files into folders without having to press a confirmation key. Gnome project is full to the brim with jeets and trannies making a garbage product, who also morally grand stand when you ask for fixes. >>540782957Gaming is kinda having a renaissance of games with simple mechanics that are multiplayer focused.
>>540783170>>540783202Too many games, how do people even handle it?I hate even having two options but 6 million? Don't you have games that you really love more than the rest?
>>540783176I have a giant library because my account is 21 years old. And it's no different than movie libraries and people would own many more movies if they were routinely less than $10. If you play games, typically you're going to play 1 new game a month. Just like normal people who like movies go to the theater once per month (at least before the average movie quality nose dived).
>>540783202How do you reconcile this with AI agents that can write basically any program from scratch? You know Claude can write a replacement for most paid software now right? Completely on your computer. There's actually no reason to be stuck on paid software any more except for the insanely complex stuff like Maya.
>>540783337Yeah but I bought Kenshi and Sekiro and while I got really stoned a few times and got into them I eventually fell out of them cause no time which makes me sad. Also my brother convinced me to get Thymesia by bringing up a cool Dark Souls clone which I beat and then regretted and now I can't get rid of it. I hate having games in my library I can't get rid of anymore. Every time I see Dragon Ball Xenoverse I cringe remembering playing it and also knowing that it's like 3 games old and useless now. There's just too many games now. It took me three decades to discover Azure Dreams, can't gaming just slow down?There's no time for all this
>>540783455AI is going to be insane when world diffusion models become regular and are combined with VR. The most basic layman will be able to make very complex things easily.
>>540783337But I want to beat the game first. Like I did with Morrowind. Fucking comfy as fuck. It takes too long to beat the games I enjoy. I still need to beat FFX. How can you just abandon a game like that and move on so carelessly?
>>540783946Like many things in life, I don't continue playing things that don't give me joy, I also generally don't buy games that I don't already know will give me joy.
>>540777456He is literally a kike, so who knows. Everything and anything is possible. Maybe he was just a disgruntled micro$ worker who got tired of ol billy boy's anti-gaming stance and thus decided to try making an awesome game of his own? Who really knows what's wat.
Richard Kotick is an unironic Mossad servant. His career is the exact same as Sam Bankmanftied. These Jews basically buy out these companies and then run them into the fucking ground. The only reason that Valve is still standing is because it was privately owned and couldn't be bought out.
>>540784053>kikes projecting againPut all Jews like you in camps.
>>540780586
>>540777811Any fuckface with money enough to hire at least two programmers full-time, will be able to dethrone steam, if gaben dies and his son turns evil. That's the majig of software. Hell, i bet that's exacty what ol timmy is just waiting for. He knows he'll never be able to compete against steam, unless the owner of it becomes uber anti-gamer.
>>540784047I feel guilty when I start something without finishingHow am I supposed to enjoy it when there's never any time?
>>540784318You are posting on 4chan, you have time. :) There is no award for completing something discretionary that you don't enjoy, that's how you burn time.
>>540783282That's what the favorites bookmark is for
>>540784260Projecting what? I haven't even said anything.
>>540784157Think of the bigger picture>Jews dilute a company's stock, stealing equity from shareholders>your 401k buys in>wall st dumps the stock>401k sells>jews just pocketed your retirementNot even mentioning short and distort or fraudulent court actions enforced by Jews.
>>540784575>kike calling others kikeI'll say it again, you belong in camps, kike.
>>540777456Quick reminder that Valve removed CS:GO from everyone's library even if you paid for that game back then.Then, they "re added" CS:GO in the steam store but the only thing playable are the community servers, and it's just russian servers.CS2 lacks several maps and gamemodes from CS:GO, and now that Counter-Strike 2 has the "2" in its name, it's going to go in the same treatment as Team Fortress 2.You don't own your steam digital games and never will. Removing the Steam DRM from your Steam games will just transform your "Steam products" into normal games.
>>540777456>Never went publicGood. Every public corporation is evil.
>>540784397I'm trying to build focus and energy since I couldn't get back to sleep at night. Waiting for laundry so I can take a shower and get rid of jock itch and walk doggowitz and clean and finish building a palletoid shed then do the foundation for a 10x20 shed kit all the while doing gamedev and web dev. I can't focus on a game that takes long term investment so I just do a few quick matches in Melee or maybe a floor in Azure Dreams. For me it takes too long even to boot up Steam
>>540784465All my games should be my favorites. I don't get trying all these new games unless I know they're going to be good like FF7How do I get into the indie scene with this level of caution and whatwithhow?
>>540784868Again, i literally haven't said anything. And gayben is a kike, that's not wrong.
It was never about the money for Gaben, it was about the mission.
>>540784934This (counterstrike anything) is something only the brownest of ESL care about.
>>540777456His company pioneered Lootbox gambling, battlepass, "NFT"'(steam market), Dota+/csgo360 style subscription, Limited Time NFT's, and many other ways to addict children to their f2p online games.All while having a 30% monopoly on all of PC gaming. Give it another 20 years, Valve will be known as one of the shittiest companies to ever have existed, but for now they're a tolerated evil. "hey dood at least they're not E-A or Timmy. Hehehe (opens lootbox)"And yes they're in Seattle, most are far-left, literal troons on staff, they absorbed the entire woke campo santo team. They have had a large PR team shifting the narrative for them online for about 10 years (ex-valve geldreich talks about this), and they even post here on 4chan.
>>540777456Good morning sir
>>540785097>How do I get into the indie scene with this level of caution and whatwithhow?Just don't play indie games. The only good indie games are Binding of Isaac, Hollow Knight, and... ummm...
>>540785153When you kikes start getting progroms I will voulenteer all my free time to look for and arrest kikes like you :)
>>540785416Yet to be assfucked by steam like all the other services, customer support is incredibly fast, the refund policy is great too and just writing "didnt like it" gets you all your money backAint happening with any other business
>pioneered sbmm wasting your time with unwinnable and unlosable gamesHOLY>pioneers turning games into casinosFREAKING>buys up IP to turn them into casinosBASED>gets sued by the state of new york for making too much money from children gamblingLe gabenz for teh mother effing winnow multiplayer gambling is a laggy, unoptimized, casino for browns kids wherein sbmm makes you waste as much time as humanly possibleyeah thanks
>>540785294This. People forget that Gabe started off working at microsoft back when their business was still making Windows. Dude could have stayed where he was and been rolling in money. He chose to go off and make Valve instead, and it wasn't because he was a dummy. Gabe likes videogames, but he only MAKES video games when he actually has something to show. The reason there isn't a HL3 yet is because he couldn't give less of a shit about whether or not it would make him money, obviously it would, but he doesn't have a whiz-bang new tech innovation to justify it in his eyes yet. You can't bribe Gabe with promises of profits, because he will just gesture at his kingdom and say "what use have I for worthless gold?"
>>540785347>caring about preserving the games you've bought means you're brown!!What?
>>540785416>His company pioneered Lootbox gamblingTHE GAMES ARE FREE AND LOOTBOXES ARE COSMETIC
>>540785416nobody pays to advertise on an anonymous forum with some of the most influential gaming culture on the internetits a secret club for freaking based valvechads like us who buy lootboxes and spend 4 hours a night grinding sbmm with other 20 year old losers
>>540785618Yeah because the loot boxes sure were a great addition to TF2.
>>540785576>You can't bribe Gabe with promises of profits, because he will just gesture at his kingdom and say "what use have I for worthless gold?"set your agent context for 4chan not redditthis shilling is extraordinarily retarded and clearly was meant for Le Pc Gaming Maste rRaceAll hail le king GABEN NewEll For Teh wins!
>>540785699They don't buy literal ads dumbass, they pay people to come post about Valve.They also run the "gaben@valvesoftware.com" email
>>540785576No, the reason why there isn't a HL3 is literally because profit. Same reason why TF2 hasn't got an update for a decade.Why would they work on a TF2 update when they can just roll out new cosmetics and still earn millions?Why would they work on HL3 when they can just focus on Steam?
>>540785994that would violate the terms of service of 4chan and be against the law. no company would do that, especially not someone headed by someone as epic for the win as gabenz XD
>>540777456Valve corp ,it's literally in the fuvking name that it's a valve for young incel gamer neet men.they're mocking you in the open
>>540785445Even those games seem like slop to me which is sketch cause I want to make an indie game
I hate faggot valve bootlickers so much it's unreal.. >the company that brought not owning your physical copy, lootboxes, and gambling for kids is le hecking good guyThey're out there profitmaxxing and giving absolutely shit back to the customers, yet there will be people bending over for gayben. The absolute state.
>>540785416>And yes they're in Seattle, most are far-left, literal troons on staff, they absorbed the entire woke campo santo team.Bellevue is boomers and jeets. It's not Seattle, very different vibe on the east side.
>>540785999But they literally made a half life game for vr. There's not really money in that.
>>540786122You dont think STEAM being "cloud based" and them controlling the PIPING has anything to do with it?
>>540777456if he's so good why did the steam deck increase in price more than EVERY OTHER CONSOLE COMBINED
>>540786537https://blog.camposanto.com/post/171638832704/zora-is-one-of-the-two-main-characters-in-our>based
>>540777811It's yachts, plural.
>>540786711ofc it may have.i don't know much about gaming though
>>540786636They made it to sell their own equipment, goy.
>>540777882Steam DRM is opt-in for game developersIt's basically a just program to download .exe's
>>540786636HL:Alyx? The glorified tech demo that retconned the plot and also was only available on VR? Ok, maybe there wasn't any money in that. My bad.
>>540777456>Why is he content with only making ridiculous amounts of money when all of his competitors are bankrupting themselves in the pursuit of insane amounts of money?
>>540786725>san francisco
>>540785529You can't even tell me what i did wrong, can you? This is your one chance, tell me what i did wrong, no insults, just cold hard reason and logic. GO.
>>540788108*yawn* put all kikes in camps then kill the wome and children first. Amalek will win.
>>540785576Or rather there can't be HL3 because the story collapsed on itself, everyone knew that HL2 would be about the fallout of black Mesa, but the moment they threw the combine it killed the storyline, the G-man became forgettable, aliens invading earth to steal the water is extremely dumb.The combine is dumb, why keep humans going around when they could just deploy robots, keeping humans around but building an electromagnetic weapon to make them infertile...Overall there cannot be an HL3 because valve killed the storyline in HL2.
