I...I don't get it. Why is Valve being so....kind to us? Companies don't do that. Is it a trick? Subscription service or always online daily check in thing? I....what are they doing?
>>725793543>zoomer discovering a brief glimpse of what things were like 20 years ago
>Zoomers have never experienced what it's like for a company to actually care about youHush child. You are safe here...
They're laying the groundwork for what comes next once Gaben retire. And you're not going to like it.
>>725793543they're privately owned.
>>725793543why dont these niggers make steam library sharing lenient then?
>>725793543is this actually a good idea? are SD cards fast enough nowadays?
>>725793543Some people want to make games so they can be a billionaire. Gabe wanted to become a billionaire so he could enjoy games.
>Gamecards if good
>>725793676>Steam library sharingYou're literally on a PC. Just pirate it fag
You guys know this would work with or without Valve's """permission""" right?
>>725793641I know Gabes kid is a racecar driver. I hope Gabe is teaching him well about Valve and what it means to him. We need someone with the same views as Gabe in charge. I really don't think people realize just how great Steam is right now. It's the single best thing in all of gaming.
>>725793762Snoys getting scared already eh?Kek, don't flatter yourself. You're not even a player
>>725793543That's actually a really neat feature. I mean I have high speed internet on my phone and a bajillion gigs of gata banked but still, neat. Also if you connect two steam devices on the same network steam can detect that one device has game data and automatically streams it to the other when you hit download. We've come a long way from the says of having to create system links to shuffle and move our stream library around.
>>725793676>Make account in a country with shit GDP.>Buy games for literal US pennies.>Share games with your main.Geez I wonder why.
>>725793543Wow, you can move files between PCs using microSD cards, truly amazing. Next you'll tell me you can do that with USB drives too.
>>725793941You lost eric
>>725793762and other companies would include firmware to brick your cube if you did so
>>725793543>Is it a trick?It's what' they call win/win. see>Saves downloading them all againThis saves Valve money in the long run.As a side bonus, it also increases the "value" in being a Steam customer. Something that Epic, Microsoft, and Amazon simply don't understand is that by giving customers what they want, they become loyal customers. By adding this feature it makes it harder for other game stores to compete, which I'm sure they'll bitch and moan about later saying Valve is a monopoly because they treat customers well
>>725793543>I...I don't get it. Why is Valve being so....kind to us?They need reasons for people to actually buy the fucking thing.
>>725794187If people bought deck, there's no reason to think they won't buy this.
>>725793762companies dedicate entire departments to try to forcibly stop this type of freedom
>>725793868Unironically nothing wrong with this though its basic economics
>>725793676Family share is extremely generous, don't even need to be same household.
>>725793771Gaben just rides his yachts around all day. He's not even associated with any of this stuff. We don't even get appearances from him once but every 3-5 years. We've been in the post-Gaben decline for almost a decade.
You know, full sized SD cards existed for the purpose of shuffling data between machines; micro SD obviously traded that practicality for hidden persistent storage.
Steam already transfers data between computers on the network so this is pointless.
>>725793543You don't own shit, they're just trying to suck dick and gain free PR from retards
>>725794331Exactly.I'm sharing my library with people on two different continents and never had any issues
>>725793868They don’t even allow “family sharing” if the family member doesn’t live in the same house.
>>7257937712025 Winner of the "Most obvious Pantone 448 C"-Post award.
>>725794331I thought you needed to share the same billing address or some shit. At least that's the error they had thrown at me when I tried it some time ago.
>>725793543steam was super convenient compared to alternatives before they had the majority marketshare
>>725794331>>725794452why are you lying on the internet?
>>725794153wasn't there some setup where you could share the same game throught wi-fi so you wouldn't need to download it all over again on another device in the same network?
The load times though
>>725793637I remember when warhammer had tutorials on how to build vehicles out of garbage. Now I can buy it for $100...
>>725793762*removes sd card slot*what now empowered consumer
>>725793762So? It adds to authenticity that the guy in charge is saying its ok. It just shows you that it isnt some loop hole being exploited that will be patched
>>725793543>hurr you can move files between pc's durr?Jesus fucking christ you consolekids really are retarded cucks.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/
>kindProbably because selling consoles or even their own games are not their primary revenue stream, running a storefront and lootboxes are.I don't mind this business model, but you can't expect other companies who don't have a monopoly and a top revenue generating gacha game to do this.
>>725793543>Never leave our ecosystem>It's so convenient (for us)
>>725795114You'd have no chance of removing my "SD card" from your "SD card slot" is what now, retarded bitchass.
>>725793543To have an excuse for selling you less storage
i'd let gabe gape my sd card slot with his gargantuan deck if you know what i mean
Xbox has had that with SSDs since last gen
>>725794889"household" is their term, nothing about that invalidates anything they said about how it actually works
>>725793543it makes way more sense then downloading and installing all 3 devices
>>725793543They make money off of sales, not ads. So all they have to do is dangle Steam sales in front of you to make shit loads of money. This box makes you more likely to buy more Steam games, so it doesn't need any telemetry or anything else.
>>725795692Too bad the internal nvme is locked to what they approve. Valve isn't doing that with their Steam Machine.
>>725795451They literally just did with Nintendo forcing you to use a specific SD card on the switch 2
>>725794417Yawn>Looks at 15 year old steam library that I started in 2010Remind me how many new consoles and upgrade editions have you had to purchase since then so you can keep playing games on your console?
>>725795540You don't need anymore than 512gb at a time>BUT MODERN GAMES-are fucking shit and if you seriously are whining that you can't download the latest 300gb CoD to play you're the problem with this industry
>>725795885First of all, why the FUCK are you tweeting me? 2nd, we're talking about PC shit not Nintendos.Lastly, shut the FUCK up.
>household (noun)>those who dwell under the same roof and compose a family>a social unit composed of those living together in the same dwellingWhen Valve says household they mean household
>>725796136>TweetingOh my bad, I thought you were pretending to be retarded, not an actual double digit IQ loser
Bro the japs already do this with USBs
>>725793771Settle down faggot, Gabe is a fat fuck that peddles a blaoaware renting store
>>725793639is it true he is single handedly holding back the enshitification of pc gaming?
>>725796090It's advertised as a PC as well, so it would be primarily for storing porn and anime
>>725796358Nope. We have another warrior
>>725795868last gen games work with any SSD
>>725796412>already colluding with jewgle to fuck over everyone else
>>725793543The glory of being a privately owned corporation, is that there's no out-of-touch executives breathing down your neck about what would make the shareholders happier, you just say "Let's do this", and... you just do it.
>>725796358Yes.
>>725793771>We need someone with the same views as Gabe in charge.You mean a pants-shitting level of hatred towards Japanese games? No thanks.
Beeitch I'll keep them installed on each machine, tyvm
>>725796827Steam is the reason why basically every japanese game is now on PC, retard.
>>725796412>he offered me free candy and therefore has my best interests in mindliterally you could not pick anyone more anti-speech, more corporate, and anti-consumer than this guy. He's owned by disney and the chinese. He is working to monopolize the games industry with his bloated engine and you are delusional if you think his pursuit of market majority has any goal but squeezing out more money for his shareholders.Valve has blown their dick off in front of the customer less than anyone else in 30 years and I have no reason to believe they would start now just because another company thinks they deserve a bigger piece of the pie
>>725796427Those are the troons. He needs to let them go, but because Valve's in Washington, it'll just be a repeat. Doesn't help their European location is in Germany either.
>>725797184Fuck >>725796827
>>725797081Read about Epic Games v. Apple and Epic games v. Google. He's doing the world good and redirecting billions of dollars from them to the developers
>>725796827>brings 500 japanese console exclusives to PC and shows devs what a big market there is going forward>bans "molest your underage sister 7 vn" for being borderline illegalkeep crying delusional pedo
But does it literally print money? I fucking doubt it
>>725793543>I...I don't get it. Why is Valve being so....kind to usits still being run by its original founder and he is still calling all the shots unchallenged and has not grown incompetent yet
>>725796943>>725797370Sometimes I forgot how many people here are young enough to not have been around for when japanese developers avoided pc like the plague. 30+ /v/ when? Certain subjects are harder to discuss when the person you're talking to is too young.
>>725793639The company doesn't actually care, they just believe that kindness will bring loyalty. Most companies are just switching gears to abuse the built-up loyalty.
>>725797370It's unreal how much trouble valve could have saved themselves by just never allowing porn on their platform and no one would have ever questioned it. Literally top 3 most retarded move Valve has ever done.
>>725793543>swap your sd card many times! >go on, put your games on an SD card>no one will know
>>725793673This. They're allowed to be good because they don't have to cater to shitty out-of-touch shareholders first. Shareholder primacy is a mistake.
>>725797490Yeah just wait til Gabe retires and they replace him with some generic CEO stooge with a name like "Goldstein" who has 35 years of experience managing shoe companies
It turns out if you don't have to answer to shareholders you can still be wildly financially successful AND well liked by the public
>>725797632>nooo you can't allow that my Christian eyes and brain, Jesus noooooooSuck start a pistol, banning the right kind of porn game is key.
holy shit steamfags are embarrassing.
>>725793762You know most companies would pay extra money to ensure it didn't, right?
>>725793543Why don't they make a Steam Card™ micro ssd?
>>725797810Fucking retarded emotional response that didn't comprehend a single thing I wrote. Completely proving my point about the fucking rabid audience they invited on their platform for zero gain.
>>725797463About that...
>>725793543Valve built their "technical monopoly" off of doing that.Loyalty and trust go a long fucking way once you get the ball rolling far enough.Steam and linux do so much for them that they can comfortably experiment and continue to maintain their goodwill.
>>725797884because they aren't conniving gooks like sony
Epic being so massively incompetent to the point they took ages to add carts to an online store was really an eye opening experience for me. Basically the entire fake hype about AI passed me because I always remember that a multi billion dollar company was unable to add carts to their store for some bizarre reasons.
>>725793639Like valve won't try to lock down their ecosystem the moment they have enough market share like every other corp has done so farFormer console cucks will cheer for it, compooters bees racis n shieet
>>725798748Yeah.. because random retard on the internet said so this must be the case. For sure unc, don't have a new conspiracy theory to post in your facebook group?
>>725798748>market shareDoesn't Steam basically own the market it sits in?
>>725798748It's not their ecosystem, they're selling PCs. This whole thread is dumb. no shit you can use your library on any device because they're all the same fucking platform.
>>725798847Zoolatto tard seethe
>>725797754>Shareholder primacy is a mistakeThe problem is that large companies don't need to actually compete with each other any more. If a big company does something bad people are more likely to scream "much capitalism" or "ze J00s" than blame the company and all the other big companies just follow suit and set that as the new standard.
>>725798748>Like valve won't try to lock down their ecosystem the moment they have enough market share like every other corp has done so faranon they have owned the pc market (excluding self-published launchers a la league/roblox/hearthstone) for well over a decade, every company and their mother is part of an anti-monopoly suit against them right nowIf that was going to happen it would have happened by now, I'm not trusting a new company to resist the allure of power when valve has been performing fine for as long as they have
>>725799154Fucktard poojoo

>>725798992the actual problem is antitrust is never enforced, we made laws to prevent megacorps from fucking over everyone but then we just dont enforce them.if antitrust was actually enforced the share market might look a little smaller but things would be better for literally everyone that isn't a billionaire.

>>725800004Can't wait for the bubble and for the aifags to go > jk, we never meant for it to be a real intelligence, it's just a superGoogle haha
>>725800307How are you THIS tech illiterate? Wtf do you think it is?
>>725800004Because Valve is a private company and they're looking for investors. OpenAI is operating in a bubble economy.
>>725800348they're not* looking for investors
>>725800329Where does it say anything about what you can boot on it you circumcised ratfaced mongoloid
>says its going to be competitive with consoles >this would normally mean its going to be around the $500 price>nintendo is selling a ps4 for $500 though so it will most likely be $900 or more and thats still being generousI mean my only hope is that its steam. They are selling the steamdeck at a reasonable price but that was BEFORE nintendo fucked over the market. And their vr headset is still a grand which is insanely retarded.
>>725798748>the company that has completely dominated the PC gaming market for nearly 20 years will suddenly switch gears and become aggressively monopolistic for no apparent reasonwhy?'greed' isn't an answer here, steam is a money printer with almost no competition whatsoever, at best you could claim 'profound retardation' but since we've seen no evidence of that, I have no reason to believe it
>>725800491First, tell me what you think it is.
>>725793543They earn so much money from lootboxes and steam they can do these passion projects without worry
>>725793683they are, just not with the interfaces on these valve devices (only sdxc, not the new sd express standard)
>>725800516They don't dominate shit it's a storefront downy tard, the games they produce are flops too
>>725793771Gaben is still part of the interview process.
>>725800559Zoolatto mongoloid
>>725800491Are you retarded?
>>725793543private company, no shareholders, no dividends.
>>725800704You have the tech literacy of an 80 year old grandma, go back to consoles.
>>725793543Valve is not publicly traded.They are not bound by law to make as much money as possible for shareholders.Understand that every publicly traded company is FORCED BY LAW to make as much money as possible.
>>725793543Don't do what? You still have to have an account that has licenses to those games.
>>725800723Zoolatto downy cope

once gabe dies steam will become another soulless corporation that only exists to inflate its stock price
>>725800874Prove it, I don't use steam to launch my games, they can only collect data from the people actually using their platform, all if this will go over the head of an inbred ghetto poojoo like yourself
>>725795393Valve is not a monopolyCS is not a gacha
>>725801074Valve doesn't need external funding so its not going to go public
Honestly this shit reminds me that I bought a third party 360 drive so I could download my copy of Boom Boom Rocket, and as it turns out they have to be formatted a really specific way or fuck you, you can't download or launch software off of it
What will the death of pc gaming be like after Gabe dies? Slow decay? Total collapse?
i member when hannaford had a double money back guarantee.. i miss white people.
>>725793543Once upon a time most companies treated their customers well. Just look at what fast food used to do 20 years ago. It's only recent where companies decided to fuck over customers whenever and wherever possible right to their face.
I fucking hate MicroSD cards so much. Their limited read/write cycles are terrible. Can we PLEASE come up with a better memory card-like format?
>>725800963Zoolatto drone with no future because it's retarded
>>725799514Its a pc and you can install any os on it you want.
>>725797628Actually once upon a time the people who ran companies actually cared about what their customers felt and so the idea of purposely fucking them over was foreign to them. Much like you don't screw over your friends or even random people in real life.
>>725801295A lot of brain dead jeets like to cope that Valve will magically stop being shit after Gabe dies but they've got like a whole system set up for after the fact.
this is how steam share works right nowif anything you should expect it to be like this off the bat
>>725801074>Once the sun falls from the orbit into the earth nothing matters anymore lol>we're all dying anyways lmao>we'll all own nothing anyways
>>725801358We know what hardware it's using. What know what OS it's using. What do you not understand?
>>725794832I share library with 4 others friends and one of them is currently working in japan, works fine.
>>725801382Prove it poojoo
>>725793543He's tricking you into buying the whole set. It's a malicious tactic to get you invested in the ecosystem. Want to play your Deck game on your TV? Well better buy a Machine and switch over the SD card instead of buying a proper console with an actual concept behind it.It's downright evil.
>>725801295PC gaming won't die. Even sony is looking to create a PC launcher and migrate everything there. What will happen though i predict is that we will have to many launchers just like the situation with movie streaming services.
>>725798748Just like prebuilt pc manufacturers are locking down their platforms?
>>725801354Use an USB stick, external SSDs, even fucking HDDs, literally ANYTHING that holds data. This is not a shitty fisher price tablet
>>725801470Lol 'we', dumb fuck poojoo from some ghettoIt's not even been released yet downy jeet what the fuck do you know
>>725801151you cant just get the number of people who report playing games, then the number of people with a steam account and cross reference?what would proof even look like you?
I am prolly gonna buy the steam controller if its not 100$
>>725801470Stop giving him attention already
>>725801492SteamOS is linux based and its a open source OS. This means all the knowledge needed to uninstall/modify that installation is public.Just like valves handheld.

>>725801701What sound card does it use poojoo, since it's all on the page
>>725801630I think it's going to be over 100 bucks, it's basically the steamdeck without the screen from what i've seen so far.
>>725794397Except you have to redownload through the network as a file transfer and have a dedicated MicroSD for each hardware. MicroSD card is just plug and play this play.
>>725801905It's not the 90s, who the fuck uses sound cards anymore?
>>725801826>what would proof even look like you?answer the question, I know you have nothing so you turn to name calling.

what the fuck is a poojoo
>>725802054CS has no gacha mechanics.Having better platform than your competitor doesn't make yours a monopoly
>>725802139Is this a schizo meltdown? Are you ok?

>>725802142whatever the fuck shat out that guy
>>725802318Im not ur mom
>>725802216Lol keep pulling your last few remaining strands of hair out in frustration downy
>>725802054definition of monopoly is pretty loose but steam isn't stopping anyone else from competing and it's not some technical marvel to compete with them, so they only have a majority by being the best.experts likely wouldn't call it a monopoly for those reasons alone.Amazon has a monopoly because of their logistic/production networks, you couldn't set up an amazon competitor even with a trillion dollars.you could sell your video game on your own website today in less than an hour of setup.
>>725793673Its literally this. Sad to see zoomers not remembering a time when companies actually made products for their consumers and not to please faggot shareholders.
>>725802332Lol poojoo triggered
>>725802415you can even sell your shit on multiple storefronts, the only spergout was about steam KEYS being sold outside of steam iirc
>>725802605No need to sign your posts
>>725802563will say though steam did have a thing recently where you weren't allowed to sell your game for cheaper on other platforms (including your own site).I can't remember if this has always existed or I just heard about it or if it's already gone.
>>725802645Do not redeem the post saar
>>725793639Literally who
>>725802771Im typing in the code right now
>>725802740Alright. I was wrong about steam being a monopoly, but I still think CS is a gacha because of the skin retardation.
>>725802982Its your mom too
>>725793543Valve is privately owned, no shareholders to make an excessive profit for.
>>725793543This has been the case with Steam games since forever it's just the wording that makes it seem like some new idea. You have always been able to take installed Steam games on one drive and simply insert the drive and play or copy them onto a new PC once you verify the install location, assuming you already own the game on your account.This is literally the same thing but instead of it being an SSD or external drive it's just with a Micro SD card.If you don't want to do that than you can also just transfer the games over LAN and its trivially easy you just need to have both computers turned on and connected to the same network.
>>725802740I think it was the case for Steam keys specifically, yeah. They can sell it for whatever price anywhere but if it's activated on Steam, and presumably uses Valve's infrastructure like download bandwidth/mutiplayer servers and shit, it should have price parity with the store itself.
>>725803080Put down the meth pipe downy
>>725802950I think diablo 2 is a fighting game because of online pvp
>>725803164Ur mon gave it to me
>>725803127I keep seeing this jeet astroturfed nonsense coming up like it's supposed to mean anything
>>725802950depends, They're not locking gameplay/progression behind lootboxes, you could make it all the way to pro esports without ever touching a case.it's predatory and I dont like it but it's not as bad as gacha games where gameplay characters are timed exclusive naked women.I do think world would be better off without either.
I already have 8gigs of vram on my pc though. The only think that sucks with my pc is the processor, but in order to upgrade that I'm going to need a brand new motherboard. I wonder if it would be better to buy this? Valve says its going to be 6 times stronger then the steam deck. Well, steam deck runs some games better then my pc, despite me having 8gigs of vram. For example Granblue Relink. It slogs on my pc but on steam deck it runs flawless. Samething with Cyberpunk.On the flipside, if I'm playing any REengine game, like REmake4 or Monster Hunter, my pc fucking plays is perfect and meanwhile the steam deck can't run them nearly as well.

>>725803321Do not call me a jeet. I love animals and i hate poop.Anyway. A publically-owned company operates with the fiduciary duty of profiting it's shareholders. Customer comes second.A privately-owned company can do whatever the hell they want. If they want to make money, it's in their best interest to put the interests of the customer first.
>>725793543No Valve just didn't sell out to shareholder fuckwitsYet. Gabe is old.
>>725801924Nah it'll be a loss leader like the steam machine since there is a lot more money to be made in software sales. Especially since this is them trying to break into the market, you start cheap then boil the frog once you're an established player.

>>725803918In most cases it won't and can't be a loss leader because it's also just a PC meaning if they did this there would be nothing stopping a company from buying 10000 units to only use as PC's and never play or buy games which would be a massive loss for Valve.It's going to cost a lot more than most console players are expecting or used to paying for hardware.

>>725808127brand loyalty is part of millennial identity. just look at the console wars. sucking off their multimillion dollar company while shitting on someone elses. whenever someone points out design flaws of their favourite machine the millenial response is "works on my machine" or "poorfag". compare an IBM thinkpad(gen x) and 2013 macbook(millenial). the latter is unrepairable and overpriced garbage, but millennials praised it because it's whoopin' lightweight(less durable) and has a minimalist design(less features). electronics devolved so much in the 2010's when millenials were in their 20's. or how about millennials gaslighting themselves into thinking using an android phone(open source) means you're a poorfag?if you look on youtube it's zoomers who buy used laptops, preach about right to repair and promote stop killing games.
valve is just doing the same thing nintendo did 30 years agoyour children will suffer from steam cultists just like we are suffering from millenial tendies once they begin their own enshitification
>>725793543>kind to us?Please stop being a simp for ten seconds. They are being proactive. Windows is turning into a "YELL AT CORTANA/COPILOT TO TAKE A SHIT" unproducitivity device and they see the writing on the wall about how much Microsoft cares about gaming (they don't). If it were up to microsoft, all games would be exclusive to the microsoft store and all third party software would require a lengthy compatibility review to ensure it works exclusively with Copilot and can be controlled hands-free using AI. That is the direction Microsoft is going in, and Valve is seeing this and saying "Oh fuck no" and pushing what I feel is their panic button: Make mid-range hardware themselves that is game-centric using Steam OS as a liferaft to escape Microsoft's plans to sink Windows as a general purpose consumer platform. We're going to see the smartphoneification of Windows even more than we've already seen. It seems pro-consumer only because their interests align with ours this time, I don't want to be raped by AI. Only a few companies like Nintendo don't want your games raped by AI, and Volvo is one of them. It's pro-consumer because it's not windows trying to shove nu-Cortana down our throats and it's in valve's best interest as they are looking at a future where Steam may not even work on Windows. Microsoft may be getting ready to do to Steam what Valve does to random Japanese games and simply shadowban it without any explanation nor support on making it work.
>>725808839>You'll get just as bad as us!!!Nope
>>725808913I don't get what the end goal is and I think part of why the Gabe Cube is even happening after two other failures is because Valve doesn't, either. It would seem like basic physics that somebody with even minor amounts of experience with a PC or a smart phone would be able to accomplish any basic task on a PC faster than screeching at it to open a fucking file and navigate to a fucking web page. That uncertainty is where Valve decided to pull the trigger on what is otherwise a terrible move financially, this thing will never make its money back even if it's priced at $1300. But to have something to point to and say "You don't have to scream 'open a file you stupid nigger' at this box to make it work" is worth its brand weight in gold. You couldn't get better advertisement for your platform right now than being the one non-AI company in a sea of AI companies trying to farm and train new models off the dick pics of children with smart phones.
>>725793543Just share it over LAN lmaoI will say one negative thing about the deck, formatting an SD card for it is a bitch
>>725800775This image should be called "20s in a nutshell". A bunch of masked kids standing in lines as an officer with a gun (Who would be the first out the door screaming into the parking lot in the event of a real shooting event) carefully watches them to make sure they're standing perfectly in line in compliance, in the background are multiple cameras saving every second of their compliance and likely selling the videos to multiple AI companies that are training on their faces and will be used to make videos for the dark net since every ranjeesh now has thousands of hours of footage of white american kids.My friends would have NEVER put up with this shit in school ,even at his age. idk what they're putting in the water to make everyone so docile nowadays.
>>725793543>overpriced and oversized mini pc reboot with a ryzen 5 and 8 gigs of vram in the year of our lord 2026, running troonix and sometimes successfully emulating windows binaries using wine with 10-15% overhead is le basedOkay /v/iral marketing faggot.
>>725808839I would push back against the Valve and Nintendo comparison. It's much more apt to say that Valve is positioning itself to kill the Xbox brand.
>>725809490>>overpricedHow much, insider anon?
>>725809542I think Valve is smart enough to know that they don't have to do anything to do that. They could do nothing and still do that. I think this is more of an attack on the Windows brand. Or the reputation Windows has as a gaming platform.
>>725809583>How muchI predict around $1k for the 2tb ssd model if the deck prices are the standard for comparison. You can buy a great ryzen ai mini pc for $800-$1k at this very moment.
>>725809178microsoft is killing the PC ecosystem and newer windows versions are slowly becoming something other than what you expect of a desktop computer. with steamOS valve can simply offer the same experience you had with windows 7 and people will flock to itas for the gabecube, consoles are dying, exclusives were what kept sony alive and that is going away too, the market of "people who want casual couch experience that is NOT fisher price tablet bing bing wahoo" which is most of playstation and xbox gamers have nowhere to go, some gabe box with no paid online for you to play fifa and gta on a controller is going to sell like hotcakes
>>725809825>exclusives were what kept sony alive and that is going away tooWrong, PCfags always gets sloppy seconds.
>>725809924>PCfags always gets sloppy seconds.True. It's all shitty unoptimized ports. Only real pc games released today are niche dogshit rts titles that no one cares about.

>>725793639Lol look at all the mad zooms and epic game shills in the replies
>>725795298It's kinda funny how this basic bitch PR is getting praised because other corporations are all on a way higher level of evil and exploitation now.
>>725810440Were you even alive back then? The mid to late 2000s was the peak of cancerous drm .
>>725810579>late 2000s was the peak of cancerous drm .Yeah, drm like steam being basically kickstarted by activision during mw2, so everyone followed suit and all your games are licenses on steam because of it?
>>725809825>microsoft is killing the PC ecosystemI just don't get why.Eventually, Adobe, Sony, all of these third party manufacturers will tell Microsoft to fuck themselves and jump ship to either Mac or Linux, probably Mac. Then that's the end of Microsoft enterprise software.
>>725810023don't forget shitty mobile ports!
i don't really get the point of this.you can make a way beefier steamOS machine and use any controller you want (provided it's supported) rather than buying an entrylevel miniPC "console". seems like it only exists to directly attack deadbox, playstation, and switch1/2 (steamdeck)i'm all for a direct free multiplayer service competitor though.
>>725810703>doesn't even know what im talking aboutHoly shit you really are a zoomer. Shut the fuck up if you were still in diapers during the time period.
>>725810764Who's the target audience for the new valve vr reboot, valve marketer? Retards who think that buying AAs for your vr controller is a good thing? Was lithium really that expensive?
>>725810820That anon's post was talking about shit like secuROM and starforce. You're too young to know what any of that is so you should shut the fuck up and let the adults speak.
>>725793543Their interests are mostly aligned with yours right now. Their leadership has sound morals and they basically accidentally stumbled into a fairly stable market with no (real) competitors. That being said, they are one change in leadership away from using their lock-in and enshittifying everything, it's really just a matter of time. Gabe won't be at Valve forever.They also absolutely do shady things with lootboxes, which are a gateway to gambling that is basically targeted at children.>>725793673Bullshit there are plenty of privately owned companies that do "unkind" things, Valve included (see the lootboxes).
>>725810440They were devising newer and more cancerous forms of DRM like the sony Rootkit scandal in '05, limited installations, some games even shipped with CD-keys that were misprinted so you couldn't even use them.SecuRom had installation limits and disk checks. StarForce was kernel level DRM that would cause system crashes, hardware conflicts, and notable for being very difficult to remove. Steam itself is online activation DRM that only eventually won people over through sheer convenience.
>>725810894So is the link reboot or the deck reboot coming first?
>>725810761>you can make a way beefier steamOS machine and use any controller you want (provided it's supported) rather than buying an entrylevel miniPC "console". seems like it only exists to directly attack deadbox, playstation, and switch1/2 (steamdeck)You and I can, the problem with Linux in general is it appears to be wizardry to literally anyone else. A combination of ten year old stereotypes of having to set your own xorg.conf to set resolutions and modern reality of most people not even knowing that the operating system a computer ships with isn't part of the computer itself means the Year of the Linux Desktop is never happening. We can build all the high-end PCs we won't, they're ultimately useless because redditors just buy whatever is pinned on their PC Master race subforums and ignore the whys and hows. It doesn't help that most Asians, Japanese especially, despite having such a strong tech sector seem to know next to fucking nothing about how computers work unless it's dragging a file into a folder. These people will keep Windows and pre-builts alive forever.

>>725811193If you don't know about cancerous drm like securom then you're too young. Toms of high-profile had some kind of garbage that would either fuck up your computer or fuck up the game itself, the only way you could have somehow not known any of this is if you weren't playing pc games back then.You may now seethe.
I only use gog

>>725811383Older versions of games are still on Valve's servers and you can download them via the console.

>>725811671You're getting replaced with jeets because your generation is fucking retarded. This box is made for your kind because nobody trusts you to install an OS, even with Rufus, even with chatGPT, anything that isn't a smart phone is beyond your peers breadth of expertise and the richest people on Earth all agree.

>>725793543American companies became successful because they had quality products. Over the last 30 years, everything was taken over by marketing executives wo know nothing about their own products. Maybe not Gabe's successor or even the next one, but it'll happen to Valve too. Whoever owns the company will say "oh wow, this marketing executive made the Coca-Cola company record profits! What a great fit, I'll hire them as CEO!." And then Valve will die.
>>725811685I'd rather spend that on gacha on my op rig than any game made past 2010 that isn't leading a white male with no brown characters in it

>>725811804>Burning an ISO and spamming next isn't rocket science, even sub 80 IQ retards such as yourself can do it!No they can not. Here is the proof: https://www.itpro.com/business/careers-and-training/generational-decline-in-digital-literacy>A recent study by the International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) measured a decline in the digital literacy of 14-year-olds across the EU and internationally since 2018, with 43% of students found to possess limited digital skills. Similarly, the UK’s Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) published a review of the standards in GCSE Computer Science in July 2024, which found a small drop in the number of students achieving grade A/7 between 2014 and 2019.Gen Z literally doesn't know what a file or a folder ishttps://futurism.com/the-byte/gen-z-kids-file-systems>It’s as if students “have a laundry basket full of laundry” Ford added, “and they have a robot who will fetch them every piece of clothing they want on demand.” That realization, academics told The Verge, has them teaching computer fundamentals to their students alongside their usual technical fields. “These are smart kids,” Ford said. “They’re doing astrophysics. They get stuff. But they were not getting this.”Objectively, they don't know what an ISO is, they don't know what files and folders are. Sub 80 IQ retards like you can't do it. Every study agrees: Your generation are even dumber than shit-eating jeets.

>>725812031I ain't reading all that, you fart huffing troonix retard.
>>725811949An AI can augment your understanding, but it can't do shit if you are literally missing the fundamentals. You can have an expert try to explain something to you, but it's nonsense without some understanding of the underlying principles. Smartphones objectively make it where they have never had to learn any basics at all. They tap a screen and it works for them and they aren't allowed to do anything else with it.>>725812065>you say this but most people who despise AI and attack AIjeets online are Gen ZYeah because they're fucking idiots, they can't even understand what the benefit would be of using this tool because it's just another black box to them.

>>725812160>Gamification, or adding elements of games like rewards and points to things that didn’t start out as games, is something Gen Z loves. But it creates loyalty only if your definition of loyalty is limited to repeat customer visits to a website. That reliance on Pavlovian conditioning alone could be shortsighted—even if it’s how the most frequented social-media apps increased their user bases. (It also exposes brands to the possibility that so-called Luddite teens, who have grown sick of always-on tech, might one day abandon a brand if the constant stream of notifications and nudges gets to be too much.) this huge article is just repeating that zoomers are easily manipulated shitheads. not the point you're probably trying to make.

>>725812312More proof that being able to install an OS makes you a god in comparison to everyone else online.Which is why the Year of the Linux Desktop is never happening and Gabe needs this thing to even begin kickstarting it.
Can I mod Skyrim on this shit?
>>725812287>It also exposes brands to the possibility that so-called Luddite teens, who have grown sick of always-on tech, might one day abandon a brand if the constant stream of notifications and nudges gets to be too muchsounds based to me>>725812360yes chatgpt has practical applications such as, uhh, being a worse search engine, spitting out lies, and writing half-assed scripts for indian jewtubers
>>725795298>I can have sex with the Steam boxI love Valve!
>>725811873>I'd rather spend that on gacha on my op rig than any game made past 2010 that isn't leading a white male with no brown characters in itIt's fine as long as you never give them money. The problem with gacha is that they don't realize that they don't have to pay money to keep playing these games. So they become whales and the game becomes their lives. jpegs in these games are not worth more than $60 but it easily takes $100-200 to get any of them.

>>725793543Except nothing with Denuvo will work like that. This is actually false advertising and a crime. We need to start a class-action lawsuit to see if it'll get them to ban it.
>>725793543It's so you don't waste their bandwidth re-downloading the games between all the different devices.
>>725812504>yes chatgpt has practical applications such as, uhh, being a worse search engine, spitting out lies, and writing half-assed scripts for indian jewtubersIt's useful if you want a quick way to sort through a manual, but the way people use it now makes it seem like the only thing it's good for is being a worse search engine, spitting out lies, and writing half-assed scripts for indian jewtubers.This, again, goes back around to most online users being really fucking stupid and even understanding what the tool is for to begin with. You think someone who is educated on chatGPT would be able to burn an ISO through rufus, enter their computers bios, and install an image without bricking their existing OS installs? What I just described requires multiple levels of expertise in how partitions work, hard drives work, filesystems work, all things that are unavailable to the new generation that thinks a computer is a bucket that things go into and the new-new generation that thinks computers are supermarkets that you steal people's Google Play cards from. This needs to exist to make the year of the linux desktop even a possibility.
>>725812457sure, if it works just like a PC as advertisedsupposedly skyrim modding can be done on linux but alternative you can install windows and mod that way
>>725812312>verify identitiesmillennials who grew up on the internet were taught to hide their identity at all costs. phonefags are the ones who go around posting their fingerprints and assholes online.
>>725812614Poojoo on suicide watch
>>725812686>supposedly skyrim modding can be done on linux but alternative you can install windows and mod that waykek, why would you do that? >>725812457it's pretty easy, each install makes an isolated folder that houses the game's folder in a way that makes the game think it's on a Windows PC. So just go into the folder, drop the mods, start the game, it's the same way as on windows except the game is in a different place. even things like Nexus loader works but I quit using it because fuck Nexus
>>725812756I dunno, I never tried modding skyrim on linux. I only offered installing windows as a possible method.
>>725812689>millennials who grew up on the internet were taught to hide their identity at all costs.So true, millennials are the kangs of opsec!
>>725793543>picthis is the case since years. right click on your game, proprieties and installed files.
>>725812689Don't know where it would even be necessary to verify someone's identity, facebook maybe, but it's all boomers on thereI communicate through email mostly
>>725812312>>725812689kek, this. Kaspersky is being a bunch of lying vatniks online AGAIN fearmongering about shit that companies forced on people. You can't verify everyone's identities online at all times. zoomers can't even verify if they're giving pictures of their faces to actually-Discord and google for 2FA.
>>725812826oh, i guess it does work but don't bother with windows 11 unless you keep it in stasis
>>725793543of course its a trick
>>725812705kys
>>725812832It is funny to think that Myspace used to be considered the most privacy-violating service online when the worst it did was collect first name - last names that didn't even have to be real, your email, and your IP. Meanwhile, Tiktok has been sued multiple times for taking random pictures from your phone without telling you. This is on top of its normal telemetry where it takes maps of your entire network, tries probing devices on your network for vulnerabilities, and sends all of that straight to China's communist party. But yeah man, the real danger was Myspace for... having information that you gave them yourself and then possibly selling it. stupid millennials
>>725812993Lmao poojoo SEETHE
>>725812327Console kek, you're an idiot. You just don't understand file systems. We've been able to export games to removal media and copy to another computer from within steam, maybe since 2012. Now, they're not just outright portable due to how program installs work on PC operating systems. Of course, you can also copy the files and attempt to validate them in a different Steam install, as was always possible, though you Steam's ability to split them across multiple media. Try doing that with your digital games.https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4593-5CB7-DC3C-64F0Now DIE!!!
>>725813101>wall of cope
>>725812832>So true, millennials are the kangs of opsec!they were, you didn't have to give them your real name and few ever did.that's part of why they went under, all that info they collected to sell? none of it was worth anything. that's why you're required to set real names and verify it with your ID on facebook today.
>>725813101I though it's mostly zoomers and gen a using tiktok
>>725812885>>725812689yes, we get you're retarded. by verify identity in this context it means don't trust other people online unless they verify themselves. for example don't take medical advice from a youtuber who doesn't have a doctor license>>725812678i wouldn't trust a chatbot to correctly sort trhough a manual desü and would rather read the whole thing myself. never would risk it.
>>725813185kek Get owned tech illiterate street shitter.>>725813215It is, that's my point.
>>725813223>yes, we get you're retarded. by verify identity in this context it means don't trust other people online unless they verify themselves. Ok Ivan, but that's exactly what that article you linked is saying.>According to Marc Rivero, Lead Security Researcher at Kaspersky, “Oversharing personal information online can make individuals more vulnerable to identity theft, phishing attacks, and social engineering scams. Personal details shared online, such as location check-ins, relationship status, and daily routines, can be exploited for targeted scams or unauthorized surveillance.”Sounds like you can't read it yourself because it's not in Russian and you're a tech illiterate retard and probably used an AI to summarize it for you lmaoShouldn't you be fighting in the two week war?
>>725813201>facebookBased millennial jew making a platform so millennials, their parents and their younger zoomer siblings could dox themselves. >>725813252You're a jeet posting from india with trannyfox.
>>725813223Do you also use factcheck lolTake your boosters tard, trust the fauci
>>725803321That's because you're retarded. It's ok though no one is perfect
>>725800852>>sd card games no longer work due to being tied to steam (((drm)))
>>725813223>i wouldn't trust a chatbot to correctly sort trhough a manual desü and would rather read the whole thing myself. never would risk it.Fair, it has upsides and downsides and mostly, I don't even consult it for coding advice anymore. It's a neat concept but it's hamstrung by companies being lazy and greedy with their training sets. Independent training sets may come along someday which have verifiable results.
>>725813384Lol poojoo seethe
>>725808424>It was 2005, which was essentially the peak of anti-piracy protectionbullshit, other than CD keys there was basically none of this in 2005. It really took off in 2008 and has only gotten worse ever sense. Do not talk about times you weren't there for.
>>725813353Why is this jeet trying to pretend he's not a tech illiterate street shitter? you've already admitted burning an ISO and installing it is too much for you, so you just call it 'tranny'. I use ungoogled chromium btw.
>>725813468Why are you being a raging seething faggot ITT? kek
>>725813445What's the linux equivalent of these drm files
>>725813353>based millennial jew making a platform so millennials, their parents and their younger zoomer siblings could dox themselves.are you fucking illiterate? facebook is called 'boomerbook' because it targets the generation before millennials. nobody my age uses facebook, or if they did, they were all burner accounts because we saw this shit coming from myspace.
>>725813509You are poo man, you look like poo and stink like poo, you smell your poo all day

Too stupid to verify any of his posts.
