Why is this allowed?

There's no gun to your head forcing you to buy it, anon.

I don't want it anyway

Because Steam allows it
They're the company that introduced loot boxes and other previously Eastern-only concepts to the West. They were going to allow paid mods. They allow pay for jpg "cards" that do nothing.
If there's a way a seller can squeeze money out of someone that gives Valve a cut as well, it's allowed.

What if there was? Can you imagine what kind of shit life he'd be in.

Free market capitalism

>>719384812
video game commentary and streamer culture enables this kind of shit
the ecelebs prepurchasing/buying early access so they're the first to put out their slop on youtube or twitch or whatever, and their dumb followers buying everything their eceleb daddy tells them to buy
>>
>>719384812
Because impulsive consumers exist.
>>
>>719384812
Because redditors worship corporations and defend them at every turn. Stop complaining you weren't going to buy it anyway you stupid fucking chud.

Retards simply keep giving them money and they cannot say "no" to more money.
Right now it's paying extra to beta test the game.

They let Bethesda get away with it with Starfield. Everyone after just copied them. Weird how Bethesda also started the microtransaction trend as well and yet people still love Bethesda still.

I was out when I found out it ran on UE5.
Wouldn't buy it if it was $5 because of that.

>Launch the demo

I love UE5 so much bros!
Actual game ran much better but it was still mediocre at best.
>>
>>719384841
You are correct. My refusal to buy an obvious scam won't stop the literal NPCs from feeding thousands of dollars into it and promoting this kind of shit behavior though.
>>
>>719384812
I just view this as a continuation of the discount I always get anyway as I wait for a game to become $5 or less.

Then Valve would allow in-game ads.
>loot boxes
Free drops, in free games, that I can sell for free money.
>paid mods
An idea they floated to try and incentive the creation of more and better mods. Was just an option for modders to have and they backed down from it when people complained.
>cards
Free drops that I can sell for free money.

I have complaints about Steam, but these are the usual kinds of Timmy talking points that sound bad without context, but fall apart under scrutiny, right up their with 30%. It's why continues to fail while Valve doesn't. If they can't even recognize the real problems and continue to dig their head in the sand, they can't possibly come to the right conclusions.
