Find me a single game hosting service or platform currently active that isn’t filled with tribalistic apes and mindshackled cultists.

They hired psychologists to mold their customers into fanatics and they've always maintained a very close relationship with game journalists and ecelebs to help frame any news about their games or steam or whatever.
I mean just look at the steam machine and the reaction to it. You have so many techtubers who went fucking apeshit attacking Jensen Huang over the 5060 8gb, going as far to claim new games are all unplayable with 8gb of vram, but they were fellating the fuck out of valve for the steam machine - which has 8gb vram. Keep in mind the 5060 is advertised as a 1080p card and valve is claiming the steam machine does 4k.

Tim, if you want me to use Epic than just give me my account back. It got hacked by some bug man, I know, but I got the account back but you stripped everything I bought off it. And you won't let me buy anything now. You won't even let me play the free games. If you won't give me the account back I can't use your store.

I'm not installing EGS Tim.

>>727740413
Because they've been brainwashed to the point of even where they cancel a game they promised people see this as a good thing.

Valve is a company of lairs and frauds. They do not deserve your money for their consumer-unfriendly practices.

>>727740413
made some goat level games it is what it is and steam being a somewhat good platform but valve is scummy as shit

>Make good products
>People like you
Is it really that difficult to put together?

>>727740413
I wasn't aware anyone other than me was a Valve fan. There's very little crossover between their games. TF2, Dota 2, Counter-Strike and Deadlock players all hate each other. Look at Deadlock leaks, they compare everything to Overwatch and LoL, even when TF2 or Dota 2 comparisons would've been more accurate. They don't want to give Dota players attention, they'd rather admit to being a Blizzard/Riotfag.

>>727742749
>Make good products
Their absolute lack of doing that is precisely why their reputation has taken a hit. They've basically done Alyx in the past decade and that relies on caring to invest in VR.

there are no valve fans left unc

What is Steam?
What is the Steam Deck?
What is SteamOS?
What is Deadlock?

>>727740413
Because Steam is old, and they think by worshipping it it makes them hip, cool, and superior to other people.

EGS will win.

>>727742893
The Deck is good, SteamOS is good, and Steam is the only digital storefront that hasn't gone to complete shit over the last fifteen years.

Is the Rothschild paying his lawyers to make these threads?

>>727743747
>What is Steam?
Years old now. As it stands steam is the main reason valve is still going because a company doing as little as valve has done without a cash cow like steam would have died years ago.
>What is the Steam Deck?
Similar situation to Alyx in how much of a niche appeal. Doesn't help for the people who actually want to see valve make games.
>What is SteamOS?
lol
>What is Deadlock?
Unreleased and the writing is already on the wall that even the people it appealed to are getting sick of it. For many it's a frustrating reminder how much dota derailed the company.

>>727740718
It would be extremely painful.

>cultish
How?
Unlike trump and his cult, Valve actually brings customers an affordable product with lots of sales, unlimited technologies and abilities, and a huge library that beats any other in the world.
Trumps cultists actively cheer when the maniac hurts the US citizens and murders civilians over seas while making a market WORSE for consumers. The complete opposite of valve
So you call us a cult? No. Valve is the mother fucking Bernie Sanders of gaming

memes aside tbf Valve doesn't bring any of that though
It's developers making games and publishers/valve pocketing the profits
Gayben is basically elon musk of vidya games

Which playstation "game" do you think they're going to release on steam next year?

>>727748158
Valve does have brand recognition, consumer trust, and legacy--like it or not. That provides a lot of accessibility for both the seller and the consumer.
It's easy to market when you know it ain't gonna be some fly-by-night storefront.

developers = corpos
players = consumers

if the government (valve) is taxing its corpos so the consumer can have an anazing product and a happy life thats what matters. People over profits.
if you think profits over people is a GOOD THING go to fuckin Epic Games lol enjoy the shitty product that lacks features and puts corpo profits over its users

valve is not government
as i said they are pocketing profits
they are not investing profits back to video games
i don't get what your agenda is
you want everyone to join in your weird valve bootlick crap by gaslighting people into believing they did shit aside from stealing?

if anything it's modders responsible for classics of vidya
