If you have friends and you share games./V is mad because the don't have any.
>>735208769boats (including yachts) are boring
>>735208769not a problem in project nortubel
>>735208769 I love being findomed!
>>735209123>>735208769Buy an ad
server infrastructure and update deployment costs time and money
>>735208769>30% for a download linkThat’s the same cut consoles take, and they charge for online on top of it
>>735208852Until you realize that all rich man's yachts are just floating epstein islands.
Why are poor people so envious of their betters? No normal person should be this envious. I don't give a shit if gaben buys a boat with my money, i have my games who gives a shit? I am not a dev.
>>735208769>/V
>>735211229Do it
>>735208769with the death of games in the disk and backwards compatibility all console games are essentially the same as steam

>>735211004Indians are shit at the end of humanity with everyone else above them.Also this is all because sweeny envies gaben
anyone who actually works making video games doesn't mind gaben's cutnobody is forcing us to use steam, the 30% is nothing compared to a traditional marketing and distribution budget, and it allows us to say fuck you to middle men with shady contractsgaben's contract is extremely transparentyou have no idea what you're talking about
>>735211414I've been a pirate for 30y I have never needed any of that
>>735211637Yes we know slaves love being exploited that's why we keep breeding more of you and killing of any actual humans left around.
>>735208769this post is propaganda to try to make me hate valve, a company that does more for me, is actually pro-consumer, and doesn't shove DISGUSTING AISLOP down my throat. fuck you, OP.
>>735208769>If you have friends and you share games.You can do that on PC too. It's also easier and you can share to more than 1 friend at a time.
>>735211852Why would the post make you hate valve if they aren't doing anything wrong?
>>735211851are you suggesting a fair contract that provides an extremely good service is slavery?is it slavery to be forced to pay for food, too?
>>735211926But you really can't 5 people is not enough.My shere group is 14 people I end up paying for one game a year but I get to play everything
>>735211340hey I know that guysmall world
>>735211989Just shut up I don't argue with slaves
I wish I was that fat fuck
>>735211414Well EGS gives us free games (99% of which is shovelware)! Valvecucks forever coping!
>>735212107>But you really can'tWhy not?>5 people is not enough.What 5 people? It's just a folder. You can share it to as many people as you want at the same time. Even 14.
>>735212167You sound like the slave yourself. You want to reassure yourself that it's others who are slaves so that you find a semblance of comfort with your own existence. Like the thief blaming others on having stolen their wealth, thus justifying his theft.
>>735212280Yah share a denovo game like that
>>735212602You can, actually. Denuvo just has a 5 machines oer day limit but you can easily share it between more people than that. They'll just have to wait a day.
>>735212857So 5 people like I said cool
>>7352129415 people can install it per day. It's only 3 days until all 14 of your friends have installed it and can play at the same time. Try doing that on a console.
>>735208769if you pirate your games it's even cheaper
>>735208769>INFRASTRUCTURE IS FREE!this is what consolebabbies believe
>>735213358wasn't that the excuse they used for why paid online is fine? then it turned out that it's not actually going towards paying for servers and sony just pockets the sub costs
LEAVE ALONE THE MULTI MILLON DOLLAR CORPORATION
>>735214234this but sony and nintendoall the excuses for their hardware existing and not just being pc storefronts are all couched in tech illiteracy and nostalgia
>>735209175sell it to me
>>735213492exacly this
>>735209449As well as:Interacting with payment processorsStoring payment informationKeeping up with different regions legal requirements and standardsPreparing compliance methods for upcoming legal/regulation changesRegion pricing fluctuationsTaking on board customer service queries; refunds; account helpSeems like 30% is a fair price to ask for managing the backend so you only need to upload the files and pay $100, then focus on marketing, events, deal frequency and community interaction yourself.But of course, even though devs are free to set up their own website and do all the above themselves to keep 100% of the profits, they would rather cry about it, demand to be able to charge more on one platform than another so they guarantee the same amount they feel they are entitled to per sale at the expense of the end user, and then asked the government to litigate for them.Basically, they want more money for less work they don't want to do.I genuinely hope Valve rolls out a tiered support system where developers can choose a cut, but locks out support based on that.>10%; Hosting, payment processing, 1 monthly patch and 3 emergency patches max, no community hub, no forums, no sales banners, no steam cloud, no in game payments, no integrated features, no achievements, no cards, no VAC or multiplayer support. (bare minimum metrics (sales, owners, refunds)>20%; First $5000 tax free, Hosting, payment processing, no patch limit, community hub, forums, relevant sales banner inclusion, limited steam cloud capacity requiring expansion payment add ons if exceeded, no in game payments, achievements, workshop, mod support, no VAC or multiplayer support. Regular metrics (sales, owners, refunds, refunds:playtime, projections, trends)>30%; First $50k tax free, everything included, larger steam cloud capacity, dedicated front page advertisements for set time, priority on support. Advanced metrics, control over sales all the time and reports on user interactivity.
>>735208769Why have shills been attacking Steam so much the last few weeks?
>>735208769Steam does a lot of work into its interface, advertising, and upkeep with patches and downloads
>>735211340>fuck you video gaymers>hold up, you have to willingly give over your money?
>>735217823they beat the rothchildes rather badly in court because the rothchildes kept trying to patent troll them.
>>735217823For awhile now it's been a handful of autists crying about Valve nearly everydayThey have zero interest in discussion and just argue with anons for the dopamine of being "correct" with no way to lose said argumentsMy advice is ignore them since all they want is attention
>>735211414>Livestreamingthis has never worked properly
