>>730589034why do you suck dicks?
>>730589034All that and they're still better than the rest minus gog. Incredible how low the bar is for these "people."
>>730589034Because Valve owns all their video gamesThey are like hostages in a way
Sega did all that first btw

>>730589148>minus gogwhere's my linux client?
>>730589034None of that is the problem, anonIt's the reason Gabe originally invented Steam: to stop people selling the game/loaning it to friends.HL2 is about 5-6 hours at most and he charged 60 dollars for it. IT was his way of fucking people over
>>730589034>dont even make games anymorehow dare you?
>>730589768>60 dollars$50 + Counter-Strike: Source
They also hooked up with Sweet Baby.
>>730589905DELETE THIS
>>730589689>where's devotion>where's all that games you promised on the dreamlist (nevermind most of them never had pc ports)>please pay our patreon
>>730589034Meanwhile, your overlord loaded his barely functional store with NFT slop.
>>730589034>>allows children to gambleJust like Epic.
>>730589034>>currently hampering the use of innovative AI technology in gaming with the AI disclaimerTimmy, my dear nigger, go kill yourself and your shitty useless launcher, I pirated Metro the moment it was possible to do, I'd never buy a single game on your shitty platform
even if your cope was right and it's not all that matters is that they're the biggest consumer linux supporterso go fuck yourself timmy, you can't fix windows by voting for it
>>730589034I hate them because they banned my NFT project. I'm an Epic gamer now.
>>730589892Only on certain bundles
>>730589768>It's the reason Gabe originally invented Steam: to stop people selling the game/loaning it to friendsretarddigital games can't be resold or else you would have an ecosystem where you make literally zero money past the first month since reselling would always be cheaper, can be done across the world instantly and it's not tied to a physical object that can degrade and stop functioningsteam exists because gaben was with microsoft and he noticed doom was more popular than dos
>>730590992>digital>entire game came on the disc except the 10mb patch needed to download steam and activate the game to your accountThe shill brigade is here
>>730591178do you think every service ever was great from the get go?
>>730589034Yeah yeah yeah still not using EPIC
>>730589905pcbros never recovered from this
>>730591513oops forgot they're a protected class with actual shills in /v/
>>730590025>>730590070>>730590642>>730591452>>730590580>whataboutism
>>730592406>just let me have this thread shitting on steam without any retribution!!!!fuck off timmy, that's not how it worksas long as valve is the biggest linux gaming supporter you can keep crying in your cuck corner
>>730593128>the shill pretends gabe inventing steam solely to fuck over consumers is a good thing
>>730593227but steam users aren't the ones complaining?all the seethe about them comes from their competitionyou're delusional if you think digital wouldn't take over eventually when even consoles are phasing it out nowwhat's your cope going to be when steam will be the only platform with actual consumer rights then?
>>730593617None of that addresses realityI will not of course, be responding to you or other shills other than to mock you
>>730589034>allows children to gambleHow is that a bad thing? Hopefully they'll learn to not be retards before they grow up and actually have something to lose.>popularized DRMWrong. DRM existed and was widely used before Steam.>sells overpriced,outdated hardwareYou don't have to buy it.>supports censorship by removing "problematic" games from their platform and deleting reviewsAn actual legitimate problem.>takes an unfair share of devs money30% is industry standard. Nothing unfair about it.>currently hampering the use of innovative AI technology in gaming with the AI disclaimerHow? All they ask is that you disclose using it. They don't prevent you from using it.>allows devs to sell early-access scam gamesNothing wrong with that. They have a disclaimer if the game isn't updated.>dont even make games anymoreExcept HL3 is in active development right now and has been since Alyx.>Why do people like Valve?Because they're by far the most customer friendly company in the industry. Any alternative would be infinitely worse.
For example, I post now to mock you, shill
>>730593683>i will continue to seethe and disregard counters like i own the sitecopesteam will be the only platform worth a damn once your precious cucksoles finally fully enslave you
>>730589034it's ok when they do it because they are the good guys
>>730593861sar, poleese as to be kindly explaining the cooking post? Why bringing up cookingsouls?
>>730593128This.Valve is, entirely by itself, letting devs of every size know: They'll get more CASH MONEY, IF... they ensure their games work on Linux.If you don't think that's based beyond belief, leave /v/ forever.
>>730589034>dont make games anymore but enough about epic actually no, valve is better than epic for that as well, all timmy has shat out is fortnite skins and took old Epic games like every unreal tournament down off of every other store at least valve put out a game
>>730594050because that's the only position from which any criticism of steam holds any water? and that bucket will get fucking melted down soon
>>730589637>Steam Deck broke the industryholy fucking cope. steamcucks aren't human.>also chooses to ignore how valve will deliberately target, block, and ban any game that is far too Japanese for their likingmegacuck
>>730589034Opinions of AI shills don't matter
Why bald fatsos are so disgusting. This picture reeks onions and sweat since its inception
>>730590024The dreamlist is just a rebranded wishlist. Not GOG's fault people are retarded and ask for World of Warcraft and Breath of the Wild.
How shills work for steam>nobody mentions EpicHAHA FUCK YOU GAYPIC >um, nobody actually mentioned EpicHAHA FUCKING KEKI feel sorry for shills
>>730594267i feel sorry for phonepostersthey don't have the budget to give you a craptop
>>730594331rahjeesh is upset because hes already on thin ice, if he doesn't make 20 more anti-steam threads today they're going to force him to use the toilet where the loo witch will get him
>>730589034>allows children to gambleParents should supervise their children if that's an issue. >popularized DRM It's like saying USA popularized atomic bombs. Digital software distribution and DRM was enabled by technological progress not the idea. If Valve didn't do it someone else would. >supports censorshipI won't even comment on that as it only ever affected borderline pedophile content. Cry about it pathetic subhuman. >takes an unfair share of devs moneyIf devs think it's unfair they can publish the game on their own. >currently hampering the use of innovative AI technologyAI disclaimer doesn't stop developers from using AI tools. It just allows consumers to make purchases aligned with personal ethics. >allows devs to sell early-access scam gamesYou can try the game for yourself and refund it if it's a scam or not up to your quality bar. You control your spending habits.
Why would anybody need to shill for Steam? It has hundreds of millions of users
>>730594331I genuinely always assumed gabe's shills were only $50 laptops running lubuntu
>>730594204To this day, I have no idea why Valve switched their logos from guy(who looks like Gordon Freeman) with a valve in his eye... to sweaty fat Morpheus from The Matrix
>>730594204based brown ESL
>>730594982sar stop the racyism
>>730596674>bumps his retarded page 10 thread only to continue to not respond to people shitting on him
>>730589034Because they violently pound consoles in the butt.
>>730589873No one plays it.
>>730589034easy access and lots of discounts
