actually he got a lot of his ideas from maplestory
don't forget>keeps taxing 1/3 of the PC gaming industry's revenue just for offering download links and a basic website's features
>>722817064>kills physical mediaThat one really isn't fair. That was a group effort from pretty much every entertainment company because you will own nothing and you will be happy.
>>722817064Tim Sweeney hands made this post.
You know, if you think about it, Valve worshipers have always been the dumbest fucks in the sceneIncidentally, /v/ has always been one of the lowest IQ boards on 4chan even before consoletards took over the place
>>722817064He gives back to the industry by tard wrangling the Linux devs into making a usable OS before pajeets jeeted Windows into Linux NT.

>>722817064>spends his own money on stuff he wants rather than giving it to communist trannies for no reasonbased
Remember that one time this ex microsoft jew tried to trick a hl2 leaker (who is underage) to fly to US so they can "offer" him a job?

>>722817792Things could have been far better too if valve wasn't jewish af and shitting up /v/ with indian shill shitposters instead of using their infinite money to accomplish miracles or at least not being a piece of shit getting in law suits every other day.
>>722817064Steam also buys out small indie developers only to shut them down or have their devs not release anything for 20 years, just like EA and every other company you hate.
Why is it okay when valve does it though?
>>722817064>invents paid modsNever happened because people threw a tantrum even though its a good form of capitalism that gives incentive to make good creations, today we would have thousands of great mods and new emerging talent and new vidya>invents lootbox cancerSome would have done it inevitably>kills physical mediaIt was inevitable>rampant censorshipSorry you can't have your pedophile degenerate chinese cartoon games>spends monopoly money on fleet of yachts instead of giving back to industryBecause he's smart, based

>>722817064Where's my hl2ep3, gabe? WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?
>>722820017cause he created shitty free to play games for eastern europeans and south east asians so they worship him like a god.
>>722817630>>Is a funder of the democratic party for some reason, Biden in particularCouldn't possibly have anything to do with the republitards having their constant war on vidya tantrums every five years because vidya is the only scapegoat boomers all agree causes school shootings. Now they're taking Gabe to court to defend his platform being a hive of scum and villainy for having too much free speech. It's REALLY not hard to figure out why they'd prefer the Dems in control just from a business perspective. They are historically much less interfering in vidya.
>>722820330He will upload himself onto Deckard in 2027 and become Artificial Gabe Intelligence, creeping on you while you masturbate to vr hentai
>>722817290At least Tim Sweeny has given away millions of dollars of games to gamers and millions of dollars of assets and tech to developers.Gaben gave you virtual hats and slot machines for children.
>>722820572>Gaben gave you virtual hats and slot machines for children.Nah that's Epic.
>>722820572Tim Sweeney got rid of Unreal and Unreal Tournament for no reason other than to be a dick, shitting on his own legacy.
>>722817064Why are trannies seething at gabe again?
>>722817345As a game dev I can confirm, most gamers are absolutely retarded. Even Valve noticed;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIS7m7YYEXIThis is why games have been dumbed down, not because of retards but valve developers enabling retards.
Why are steamies seething at facts again?
>>722820679They both did it but Sweeny gives back to the community unlike that greedy fat fuck Gayben. Never trust an obese person.
Why are epiggies oinking that Fortnite is dead?
>>722820727No he didn't, I was in the community when the last one was being developed but people couldn't careless about it while it was being developed. Blame lack of interest in fast paced shooters like old school Quake 3 and UT
>>722817137>singlehandedly carrying Linux gaming on his back is now just a basic feature
You really need to get over Half-Life mogging Unreal, Tim.

>>722821137>Schizo headcanonMeanwhile Fortnite has a literal tranny.
>>722820572>has given away millions of dollars of games to gamersMost of the giveaways are shit and it's usually stuff I can just pirate. When people told him his store lacks basic features he doubled down which is why it took them years to add a fucking shopping cart.>millions of dollars of assets and tech to developersAnd now we have unrealslop made by incompetent hacks that runs at 30 FPS unless you turn on framegen+upscaling on expensive GPUs.I'm sure some devs are happy that they can get money from him to fund development until they can release on steam after the EGS exclusive period is done and they can finally get some money from sales but I as a consumer don't give a fuck about that.>>722820950But why de-list the games themselves?I have a few Unreal games on GOG and Steam from before they were delisted.but you can't buy them anymore. I can go buy Half-Life 1 on Steam just fine.
>government mandated nothingburger cancelled yesterday so EGStroonies have to resort to shitpostingSad. Sweeney is not sending his best!
>>722821360>Blaming epic for the incompetence of millennial and zoomer devsIf you want to play a 20 year old game so badly just pirate it. No one will call the police

>>722817137>>722817064Stay mad Feel free to build your own platform or post your games on gog or sth, it is a free market, nobody forces you to use Steam
>>722822694What does Gaben's cock taste like?
Valve were the culprits all along i cant believe it and i have steam and bought games from it.. what do..
>>722822694>Steam is monopoly>nobody forces youand this is why we can't have nice things anymoreretards, retards everywhere
>Unreal Engine is the biggest joke in the industry>EGS got raped by Steam>Fortnite got gaped by RobloxPoor Timmy.
>>722822906Release a game and you will see how absolutely retarded most gamers are, I wonder how some of these people even manage to breath. They like to pretend they are smart but the moment anything requires any critical thinking, actual strategy or skill they start whining and crying as if you just murdered their pet cat or dog.
>>722822694This thread enlighten me the truth about valve and how terrible they are and how everyone suck their dicks. I miss physical media like you wouldnt believe. Valve is eye souron
>>722822934>100 rupees have been deposited into your account
>>722822906>>Steam is monopolyYeah Steam is a monopoly which explains why games that don't release on Steam like Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite and League of Legends flop.
>>722817064>invents paid modsFalse. Horse armor DLC was for original oblivion. You can thank Todd Howard>lootboxOther people were doing that, and none of the tf2 stuff gave you an advantage and most were purely cosmetic. You could easily unlock all the alternate weapons without paying a cent. You could also sell your skins and buy alternate weapons to accelerate how fast you gained access to them.>kills physical mediaBased. Its more convenient to download a game. Many successful indie devs can now participate in the market. If everything was physical only, you'd see only big budget garbarge and parasitic publishers would still be raping game devs.>rampant censorshipGaben is holding the line to get away with as little censorship as allowed by the jewish regime or he risks losing the ability to accept credit card payments which would kill his business.>he bought a boatIts his money he can do what he wants you jealous commie fuck
>>722823202>I'm gonna sell my game via >Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite or League of Legends storesBrilliant idea, why nobody thought about it before?
>>722817064I’m sure loot box is from a chinese MMO that have like empire wars, so they gacha to get preparation at a “cheaper” prices.
>>722823942It was but Gabe pioneered loot boxes across western gaming where nobody was doing such practices
>>722823824Hey anon, you have a bit of Gaben on your lips, maybe you should wipe it off
steam is fucking awesome. if a game isnt on steam i literally wont play it. dont even give a fuck about the game.>buy a console and keep a shelf full of "game cartridges" lolyea im not a pack rat and im not a collector faggot so no im not buying your little game cartridgesif i cant download your current version updated game and play it within 30mins of buying it, im just not gonna play your game. if i have to have a "physical copy" of your game in order to play it, im just never gonna play your game. if you dont release and frequently update your game on steam im just never gonna play your game. have fun faggots when your shithole trailer burns down and your entire collection of "physical copies of game cartridges" goes up in smoke. all my games are safe on steam and i can access them anywhere on any device i want. stay mad faggots. im gonna keep posting this in every thread u nintendofags make now. die mad.

Also remember they were forced to offer refunds because the EU put pressure on Valve
Still miles better than what consoletroons have to deal with.

>>722822394>Pitching UE5 as a positiveLiterally every game that ever uses it is made worse for itIt's a performance hog that can make good looking games at the cost of all of those games looking incredibly samey and indistinguishable from the last.Ever noticed how every other game dev company switches to UE5 then suddenly starts having internal controversy, employees leaving, and games being worse and riddled with problems their team does not know how to correct because the engine has encouraged an environment of heavy pre-made asset use?Just an odd thing to see every studio swap to it and suddenly they have nothing but bad releases, problems and performance issues
>>722822694BASED
>>722830323>Literally every game that ever uses it is made worse for itYou never heard about "suffering from success"? UE is so good that developers now hire least competent (read cheapest) programmers and they can get away with it. This is the main problem of UE - that this engine is accessible to anyone with very little knowledge needed.

>>722830323>I get all my information from youtubers
>>722831225It's like PHP, a good language that inherited some quirks from C/C++ but made it so easy any idiot could write a script. This caused massive damage to PHP's reputation due to the amount of idiots writing absolute garbage with it. Then a bunch of midwits cargo culted the "PHP sucks" era. Retards writing bad PHP code suck, like the nuDevs who can't optimize to save their lives.Also the "Premature Optimization" mantra has caused untold damage. It never meant don't optimize for performance early (you should absolutely) it meant don't optimize your code with premature abstractions and "clever code"."Developers" with imposter syndrome have been a cancer on the tech industry. You have imposter syndrome because you are an imposter and lacking in the fundamentals!
>>722829854link to anything that proves that the eu forced valve into offering refunds then
>>722833769AI OverviewYes, the European Union's Directive on Consumer Rights (which entered into force in June 2014) forced Valve to change its Steam platform's refund policy to align with the mandatory 14-day withdrawal right for digital content. EU consumers can now return digital goods within 14 days, provided they consent to the service starting before the withdrawal period expires, which Valve accomplishes by requiring express consent at checkout before the performance begins. How EU Law Impacts Valve's PolicyMandatory 14-Day Withdrawal: The EU Directive gives consumers the right to withdraw from a distance contract (like buying digital content online) without reason within 14 days. Consent for Digital Content: For digital content, this right of withdrawal can be lost if the performance of the service (downloading or playing the game) begins with the consumer's prior express consent and their acknowledgment that they lose the right to withdraw. Valve's Implementation: During the checkout process on Steam, users are informed that their purchase is final and are asked for their express consent to waive their right to withdraw once the performance begins. Key Points for EU UsersWithdrawal Period: You have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase. Loss of Withdrawal Right: Your right of withdrawal ends when you start downloading or playing the digital content for the first time, or after 14 days, whichever is sooner. How to Request a Refund: To exercise your right of withdrawal, you can use the support form on Steam's help website. https://gammalaw.com/new-valve-refund-policy-eu-consumer-protection-regulation-goes-global/https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/369C-3E9F-76FD-DEDA#:~:text=As%20a%20Steam%20user%20domiciled,e%2Dmail)%20without%20delay.Kill yourself pajeet.
>>722831418>Steam won because it's game (published by Sierra) used (screwed over) Sierra games to launch it's own publishing platform.>Which is basically illegal and a breach of their contract, to which their were sued.>Valve simply sued them in return, using Sierra's money to fund their suit.>Which killed off Sierra.Anon, why did you forget to include the fact that Valve sued Vivendi (the owners of Sierra) and that Vivendi lost because they were found to have destroyed evidence?>If someone lends you more money than they themselves have in reserve, you can use that money to buy a court which will forgive your loan.But Vivendi had more money in reserve than they had given to Valve, so why did they lose?
>>722834026>Your right of withdrawal ends when you start downloading or playing the digital content for the first time, or after 14 days, whichever is sooner.in other words the eu didn't force valve into adopting their current refund system, seeing as that is in fact not their system
>>722817064gabe retired 10+ years ago, he has someone else making all the decisions. he just farts around with ai and shit
>>722834209>No! It's the wrong kind of refund! That doesn't count!!!!!! It doesn't matter that there were no refunds at all before!! I must keep sucking Gabe's cock!!!wew lad

>>722834209NTA but AFAIK it was Australia.Basically they sued Valve or something like that for anti-consumer practices and Valve implemented the 14-day or 2h-playtime return policy and then applied they decided to apply that policy world-wide.
>>722817064As bad as all of that sounds, pretend for a moment MS got there first.Everything Valve has done with steam was coming at some point; they’re absolutely beneficent in comparison to MS or any other SV company.
