GabeN literally owns 30% of entire pc industry.
How is this monopoly allowed? He doesn't even invest back in the vidya industry anymore.
I didn't vote for him.

He invests back into the industry by continuously improving his own platform therefore making customers more willing to stick around and spend money.

this. Simply providing a fair, extremely functional, free platform for customers with loads of features and upfront information about everything you see, alongside a very solid user-review system, and he's done more for PC gaming than anyone 5x over and nobody will ever ascend to his peak.

Its embarrassing how anti-consumer publisher corporations are, well, for console plebs and AAA goyslop-consoomers that is.

Because, unlike nearly every other service from the old Internet, Steam hasn’t been actively been enshittified for the end user. Even though EA, Ubisoft, and Epic sure tried. Hell Valve even put in the work to future proof PC gaming against Microsoft bullshit if it becomes necessary.

What do you even call this? Like, what if there were only one bottling company that sold purified bottled water and everybody else just sold bottled mud and complained that the company selling fresh WATER has a monopoly because nobody wants to buy mud from the others?

Gaben took the wild west of PC gaming, a savage land of piracy and broken ports, and he colonized it. He turned it profitable when nobody else was willing to put in the time and effort required. Now vultures are seething at his success and are trying to profit off of the progress he made, whining that it isn't 'fair'. What's truly unfair is allowing these parasites to subsist off of what an actual great man created. Reject this commie horseshit of "muh monopoly", Gaben is not required to give away his wealth to anyone. He put in the work to reinvent PC gaming from the ground up. He took an unbelievable amount of risk, and fought tooth and nail to make it pay off. EGS faggots and other lowlifes literally cannot comprehend the kind of balls it takes to pull something like that off. Shitlibs criticize and scorn figures like Columbus for their faults, but what they fail to understand is that despite all those faults, very few people are on the same level as truly great men like that. Your criticisms mean nothing. Gaben won, for all eternity. He is the one who took the napkin.

Which is it you retard? The entire industry or 30%. My God you mother fuckers brains do not work at all.

>steam client gets downgraded and bloated by jeet coders every 5 years
translation: poorfags pcs slow down and die when Steam expands its scope of utility and naturally require a bit more ram and cpu to function, users with pcs made in the last 7+ years wont notice anything though
>censors, bans, community bans you for making too many negative reviews
no retard, that doesnt happen, you shitposted in the forums and got banned multiple times, thats why you got censored.
>invents paid mods
no they didn't, and no there isn't.
>invents lootbox cancer
pre-empting the gacha industry just means they're smart, you also don't need to engage with it at all, its entirely optional and doesnt affect gameplay
>invents you will own nothing
cope, physical media for pc gaming was aids and im glad its gone.
>anti consumer
as we've already established, they're the most pro-consumer platform in gaming, bar none. GoG is also good, but they're niche and have no social media or user review systems, they lack 80% of the utility Steam has.
>>
>>724074259
The worst part about all of this? Steam is still the best storefront, even if you ignore the games they each have.
