Why is it okay when it's Valve doing the ai slop, underage gambling, season passes, you will own nothing, underage yacht sex, other scummy practices? Worst of all they do all that and not make a video game aside from a vr demo in 15 years. Is Valve even vidya related at this point?
What a shit thread, let me fix it for you:When I'm in a bootlicking competition and my opponent is a first party controller user
>>737172671>equating entire PC platform to a shitty american drm store
Nintendo lost
>>737172596I feel that way, but about Nintendo fan boys.How the fuck do you defend $80 games?
it's notebook sunk cost syndrome.if you've spent tens of thousands of dollars and decades on a platform, you will not abandon them even if they rape your family.
The truth is people trust Valve the most.They are bestied with Valve.
>>737172786FACT= Valve drones are nintš¬ddlerš of PC gaming but 10 times worse
>>737172596look timmy we don't have any more remotes to chew on pls leave us alone already
>>737172596None of that has any impact on me because I don't play Valve games. They just offer an actually good store platform that doesn't try to fuck me in the ass all the time in various ways and works well.Literally all you have to do is deliver a good store and game library platform, Tim. All you have to do is care about the user and not just the publishers and devs, Timmy boy.The fact that Valve is not a publicly listed company that retarded suits can control and run into the ground just never stops making certain demographics seethe, does it?
>You will own nothingYou can activate offline mode whenever you want.You can rip the entirety of a game's archive out into backup copy any time you want.You are not just disingenuous. You are outright lying.Anyone calling you out is far from a bootlicker, you pathetic schizophrenic retard.
>>737172830How many heart artery surgeries Gabe went through again? For all things considered Timmy is at least not fucking fat and not a lazy slob despite being a lesser jew.
You tell 'em, Mr Rothschild!
>>737172596Valve drone vs Blizzard drone vs Nintendo droneWho wins?
>>737172953>Blizzard droneThey literally don't exist you time traveling dog
>>737172596The truth?People disliked Steam when it first came out, I did too.But look at from this angle: Imagine if another company had started the hype around widespread online distribution of games. Think EA, think Activision. Any publicly traded company, really.Valve having spearheaded this shit was the best possible outcome.
>>737172953Well one doesn't exist, and one is slowly but steadily going extinct. Nintendo wins by default.
>Offline Mode and Open File Location have existed as features for over 20 years now>Children still think think Valve locks your games away from you
>>737173037>Valve having spearheaded this shit was the best possible outcome.Why? Because all Gabe does is invent all the cancerous scummy practices in PC gaming and leech like a parasite and never give back aside from a vr game?
>>737173091Name one scummy practice that isn't easily overcome by not letting your disabled child use that feature.
>>737173091TL;DR Valve is actually good because they're not the worst!
>>737173135>It's okay when it's Valve>Why?>BECAUSE IT'S OKAY WHEN IT'S VALVEwakaru
>>737173091>Because all Gabe does is invent all the cancerous scummy practices in PC gamingsuch practices as?
>>737173037I remember hating the idea of having to install some dumb software just to play CS Source online in 2004, too. It just felt like an extra step that wasn't needed and was because the company was being greedy. Exactly the same as the later shit like Uplay.It wasn't until much later that Steam actually became a place where I bought games. In like... 2010-2012? I think I stopped going to game stores altogether, and not even as much of a conscious choice.>>737173091What scummy practices have they invented?
>>737173056>Gaben dies>new owner removes these functions overnight>whatareyougonnadoaboutit.jpg>no Steam user actually backed up their libraryTic toc
>>737173217>>737173225Underage gambling, paid mods, season passes, pre-release trend, you will own nothing drm store, rampant censorship of games and community content.I think that's plenty enough reason to disband a corporation as rotted as Valve.
>>737172596Somethings never change
>>737173586They didn't invent any of that though? Except maybe the store, but even that's probably debatable.
>>737172596The only reason Valve has a "monopoly" on the industry is because every other big company is lead by retards who get off on shooting themselves in the foot.
>>737172596Put on the AI mark on your game and it wont get removed from steam. Dont like it? Go bootlick Timmy who just laid off another 1000 employees after laying off around 1000 more in november, the 17% deal is better after all
Okay console faggot.>created his company to support pc gaming>was actively pro-pc when other companies shat on pc gaming and wanted it dead>instead of blindly hating piracy he said pirates want fair treatment and good service>killed malware like SecuROM>Killed Games for Windows live>gave PC gaming new life with way more releases and better treatment>indirectly improved the quality of console ports, even the japanese ones>only expects you to log in sometimes and buy games, nothing else>supports Linux and thanks to him Linux gaming is an actual big deal instead of a jokeAlso crying about "MUH CHILDREN" is comedic. If your kids are able to play games above their age range and spend money online without your knowledge, this is NOT Valve's problem.
>>737173784I heard valvedroį„es mention a korean mmo no one heard about as a cope to say it doesn't count but let's be honest. They have effectively popularized the entire thing and Valve themselves likely never heard of that game in the first place. The important thing is they implemented thing and made it viable. They are the true pioneers of modern cancerous pc practices. You can't deny this.
>>737173802Gabe is actually a pro ai shill, have you been paying attention?
>>737173943>I am literally retarded!Stay on consoles and don't speak about things related to PC gaming, underage. You don't know shit.
>>737174052I accept your concession
>>737174075I don't accept your stupidity. Stick to console gaming, it's all you've ever known.
>you must unnecessarily hate an institution despite it being extremely overwhelmingly beneficial to you
>>737173983Using AI to assist as a search engine isn't the same thing as your AI slop shovelware.
>>737174237He literally said "le AI is future" or something along the linesHe is not what you think he is
>>737173091>Because all Gabe does is invent all the cancerous scummy practices in PC gamingValve didn't invent lootboxes or anything else. It's shitty and people make fun of it all the time. Almost every competitor does the same thing while also being worse in some way though.Valve also has a lot of good will from earlier days when they were actually more free and friendly with the community. The early eras for GoldSrc and Source mods were great and some of those games are still active today. I don't really care much for anything newer Valve has done though and I dislike how they changed TF2. The only interest I really have anymore is seeing what might happen when Source 2 becomes more accessible but that's about it. Unless Valve makes huge leaps with VR, most of their current games just kind of suck. But it makes them a ton of money so they'll keep doing it.
>>737174332At the end of the day they are businessmen and run shilling campaigns here just like everyone else. It's easy to tell when a post has the stench of a marketing intern. Valve games were only good because of modders anyway and we are way past the golden age.Source 2 won't capture the same energy of source era of modding.
>>737173586Is this like the situation with the black kid that "invented" a computer? Did valve invent all your butthurt?
>>737174594No, anon. Just because it doesn't conform to your biases doesn't mean Valve weren't the pioneers of these practices. Facts don't care about your feelings.
>>737172596TF2, CS2, Dota2 community all shit on valve
>Ctrl+F "Nintendo">4 results alreadyObsessed Vegans
>not single mention of epic games ITTniggerfaggot
>>737174891Tim was mentioned already by a butthurt
Sorry TimmyI justI just wonāt buy anything on epic hahaI wonātNot a single thing haha
>>737172596Because gay ben violently pounds your ass and I find that very funny.
On the contrary All the seething around valve revolves around blaming them for preexisting practices and thinking that crying about valve specifically will make it go awayGo lobby it if you hate it so much, valve has contributed more than Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft combined already
Please leave the multi billion dollar corporation alone
>>737174876Maybe tendies should stop being assblasted retards 24/7. One can only hope they actually get a game soon so the the board can be a little less shit for a few minutes.
With that nier private server discussion on xitter I'd say the average Japanese zoomer would give valve drones a run for their money.Especially when you bring up Nintendo or From Software
>>737172596Valve is popular with the linux and AMD fanbase AKA the most obnoxious faggots you can find online who work overtime (for free) to hype/shill their garbage 24/7.
>>737175684>nipponese so anti piracy they make their vidya villains vidya piratesAmericans and Japanese are kindred spiritsthe ultimate good goy bootlickers
>>737173091This upset valvetroons
I'm tired of these bait threads, lads...just tired
>>737172953Me. I win.(I only play obscure vore games)
>>737172801Nintendo fanboys also have the extra bootlicking dynamic of being Thing, Japan faggots against the White race.
>>737174187>unnecessarilyThe lootbox cancer they pioneered is reason enough.
Reminder that most of the recent seething about Valve coincidently started right after the Rothschilds lost a legal case against Valve.
>>737173849>>gave PC gaming new life with way more releasesValve doesn't release games you sycophant
>>737173983Rare GabeWhale W
remember when leftards spammed the word bootlicker and failed to see the irony?
>>737176986Steam is the reason you even have a platform to release pc games on you moron Or are you going to unironically shill games for windows live?
>>737172596le gaben for thre mother fucking winthank you for being one of the most influential companies in making modern video games completely shitMother. F-in GAben Style baby
>>737174736>aquajeet
>>737172596>They hated him because he lied out his ass
What the fuck are "valve drones" is 2026. This term gets spammed all the time, but Valve doesn't even do anything anymore.
>>737178554it's literally just seething by the parasocial consolecucks with how they have plans to disrupt the retard farms consoles are known for
>>737178614that or shills on rothchild's payroll
>doing the ai slop, There's nothing wrong with using LLMs as an aid. The problem is using the output of LLMs without validation.>underage gambling, season passesLootboxes and season passes are awesome. I've never heard a copelling argument against them.>you will own nothingThis is entirely up to developers. Steam doesn't force DRM.>underage yacht sexMaking shit up>other scummy practices? You listed 3 positive things, made one up, and ran out of things to antishill over? Chinks aren't sending their best.
>> STEAM BAD> ok, pirate>> ...>> >:(
>>737178919you don't get itthe schizos are so delusional that they think they're going to get a perfect platform if they take down valve
>>737172596fuck off jimmy.
>>737172596okay anon i'll hear you out, what storefront should we use instead? you must have come with an alternative, right?
*crickets*
>>737178859>Lootboxes>I've never heard a compelling argument against themYou don't think paying for the chance to get something you want isn't inherently retarded, as opposed to just paying for it??
>>737179796GoG
>>737180189>You don't think paying for the chance to get something you want isn't inherently retardedI think spending money on cosmetics in games is retarded anon. But I directly benefit from other retards engaging, so its a win for me.
This feels like a 4chan pehnomena at best, maybe click on some other sites once in a while instead huffing your own farts in this echochamber.
>>737172890>ESLyour opinion is irrelevant and your skin is the color of poop
>>737172671What good controller options are there? I never tried any alternatives because I want shit that just worksI like the gyro in the dualsense but the rest of the controller is whatever except maybe the touchpad, I've found that can be useful for binding buttons to via steam input
>>737180264Why would you ever buy from GOG when a pirate gets the same experience for free?
I see like 3 of these threads every day and its always the same shit>steam bad! Valve bad!>why?>youre such a fucking cultist for asking me that.
>>737180264the games I play aren't on there
>>737180268Meh, checks out
i like to think timmy can't sleep very well because he's always thinking about gaben
>>737180264much worse feature setall gog has is installers and if i really wanted that functionality i'd just crack and compress them
>>737173020If you're gonna lie, at least make it believable.>>737172953Ends up being Nintendo vs Blizzard.
>>737180393The slightest push back against antishills causes them to abandon the thread I don't know why they try.This is embarrassing.
not sure how anyone could ever defend them after CS GO
>>737180393Welcome to people who have no other argument than "cultist" to people who dare to like something they don't like.
>>737172596I'm not a Valve fanatic, but I do think the Deck is one of the only pre-built gaming devices on the market that makes sense to own. From at least 2010 to now, console gaming has been grim, with every aspect that used to make them appealing being slowly ruined.>Worst of all they do all that and not make a video game aside from a vr demo in 15 years.The funniest part about this comment is that it implies any company is consistently producing worthwhile games. I'd rather these companies release nothing than churn out slop.
>>737180718It's such a weird attack to claim Valve don't do anything when they've done more for the gaming industry than any other company lol
Was this thread made by the British woman who's tried many times to throw Gabe in prison?
>>737172596I haven't bought a valve game since Portal 2
>>737172596Every Valve hate thread I just gonna assume is a Rothschildsā plant still mad they lost the lawsuit.

>>737172596I don't understand why people worship fat Gabe so much. Steam is a good platform, sure. But it's just a simple transaction for me. I give them money, and they give me service. Period.
All the competition has to do is match or exceed Valve. Trying to destroy it and Gabe isn't going to magically make them better.
>>737173181name it or fuck off
>>737172953The purest one
tendies are such a fucking embarrassment it's unreal. imagine being an overweight man with a dead lineage approaching 40 and still worried about what nintendo is announcing at the next direct. fucking kek
>>737172953valve is goodblizzard is badnintendo is badonly people who like bad things are drones or cultists. steam users are simply intelligent consumers using what is OBJECTIVELY the best video game platform in existence.
Every anti valve thread is the same>Why is it ok when vavle does it????>Does what?>OMG VALVE SHILL VALVE SHILL VALVE SHILL!!!!
>>737172953On pure hate and getting things done? Nintendo drone, blizz is dead last
>>737172596Deadlock sucks ass but this is a little much anon.
>>737180393I just assume they are butt mad liberal communists because they do the same thing.
>>737186207Bro, that is litterally you in 17 years. Except they have less edgelord, self hatred, and are more pleasant to be around. I dont think you fucking get it yet, but you will. You are here forever.
>>737186610i'm also approaching 40 but i'm not overweight, my lineage isn't dead, and i play actual good video games not tendieslop
>>737172596I've spent more money on Steam than on my PC it's actually insane, nowadays I'm pirating everything I can
>>737186337Its the Gabe blowing that disgusts me. The amount of Anons that say I hate all billionaires but Im glad Gabe bought his 6th yacht is disgusting. Thats a cult...Though like everything its the worst 99% defining it for everyone.
>>737186692>Except they have less edgelord, self hatred, and are more pleasant to be around.Not beating the allegations.
>>737173174They're the best because literally everyone else is worse

>>737188252Its late in india, they clocked off. Notice they stopped responding.

>>737172596why is it ok that nintendo and whoever is responsible for magic the gathering and yugioh have been doing underage gambling since before you were born with pokemon cards and shit?
>>737186207Shut the fuck up, Steamsnoy.
>>737188390>All the downsides of Steam with the only upside is some free games and nothing elseGOG or bust
>>737188402Nintendo and Blizzard strangely absent.
>>737172596Corpos dont wear boots.They wear loafers.If it was the government or military then its bootlickingThis is loaferlicking or shoe shining.
>>737188402wrongwe should really quarantine the 35% away all togetherimagine a no holds barred board where all consolecucks just seethe at each other because all they have is corporate flag waving
Valve's good faith is grandfathered in just because their place as the primary service provider for PC is one where they've done a good job. Which IS huge, but I also do genuinely think people shouldn't treat them like some special boy company that is any different from the other console manufacturers when they've essentially all but given up on making normal fucking video games.Counter Strike is a vehicle for their marketplace dogshit. Deadlock is another fucking hero shooter moba.The only actual video game they've released since Portal 2 is Half Life Alyx.
I'm going to enjoy watching both Valve and Sony die within the next few years. Nintendo will always win in the end.
>>737188672This "poll" either botted by PCsnoys or is seriously outdated. Nintendo is by far the most popular platform on this site and is only progressively gaining influence. PCfags and snoys don't have a single popular meme on this board.You're hated and will continue to be hated.
>737188810why are tendies actual flagellants obsessed with ritual posting
>>737188907actual cultist, you can't even accept the possibility of being a minority every report is signaling that pc is almost as big as all consoles combined and this board being obviously more likely to prefer pc because it's less casual
>>737188941Why are snoys and PCfaggots so obsessed with making anti-Nintendo threads?
>>737189119there's nothing nintendo related anywhere in the OPyou're hallucinating it, you mindbroken flaggellant
>>737173037We already know what Valve staved off, and it was called games for windows live.
>>737172596It makes more sense than being a full grown adult getting tilted that someone called Kirby a babygame
Holy shit everyone in this thread should be killed.
>PC is more popular on this board than NintendoDo delusional PC cultists/snoys actually believe this?
>>737189256Including yourself?
>>737189297Its true, but tendies are unhinged and overrepresent themselves.
>>737189253Funny, because Kirby is more mature than any Capcom/Sonyslop on the market. The series has a better backstory too.
>daily seethe about valve threadYou love to see it.

>>737189407Compared to your hourly Nintendo Derangement Syndrome threads?
>>737189382Case in point. You guys are weird>actually Kirby is very mature for his ageIs this the part where you try to make a baby game sound more profound than it is?
>>737172596Im new to this Valve vs. Everyone battle and im not even a gigantic Valve fan eitherThe only Valve game I play is Left 4 Dead 2 and I play it rarely but really I only come back to it because of Ellis But seriously can someone explain to me what all of this fighting is for. Like can someone help a nigga out?

>>737189526you're mentally ill
>>737189407what reason is there even to hate on valve?i'm out of the loop
>>737173091You do realize the next best store on PC after GOG and Steam is EGS, right? The store that required Steam's existence to have its most tolerable features maintained as a standard. Have you considered how bad it would be if Steam and GOG didn't exist and the standards were instead defined by another company like EA or Activision instead?
>>737189526General metrics show that steam has about 132m active users and switch/2 has about 124m active users
And then Steam cultists and snoys wonder why they're always voted as the worst fanbases.
>>737172596What the fuck did Valve do this time? Are they getting another lawsuit?
>>737189756is there a world where you can accept any evidence that can prove you wrong, tendie?if not, you're a cultist

basically they're least evil compared to the rest of the competitionthat's it
>>737189524It's at best paid shills and worst a handful of low functioning autists being upset at a company and yelling at everyone who doesn't feel the same as them.We are reaching such extreme autism and butthurt that if you could harness that energy you could power a city from it.
>>737189524It's actually some sort of PC civil war but disingenuous pro steam cucks try to make it about le nintendš¬, le tim instead. There has been always a major resistance towards Valve shills and it will never stop until valve dies and shill farms stop operating.
>>737189890Steam fucking sucked on launch and had many of the same problems as Origin and other launchers when they launched. The difference was the clear and honest attempt at making the platform less shitty. I remember plenty of days in high school when I couldn't launch CS because STEAM NOT FOUND as Im opening CS in steam, or just not having access to the server browser because it didn't connect, or steam not opening and therefore I can't play any games. That said these are problems that still on occasion happen on other launchers
>>737189957>Mario movie was garbageOh fuck off, Snoy.
>>737189524Some low functioning autist is trying to singlehandedly shift the zeitgeist regarding Valve to be negative via low quality shitpost threads. I'm not a big fan of LE POOPDICKSCHIZO stuff either but I'm pretty sure its the same guy making these threads because they all use very similar talking points. Dude is also ESL as fuck and somehow got trolled by Linuxfags into exposing he knows jack shit about PC in general.
>>737189841>Gabe has a monopolyOver what? Game stores? GOG and EGS both are thriving as generalist stores (GOG recently became completely independent it's doing so well). Multiple publishers have their own online storefronts: Windows Store, Origin, Ubisoft Store, PS Store, Nintendo Shop. Even Amazon flirts with the notion for their own forays into gaming, and there are even indie options like itch.io. If it were a monopoly none of these alternatives would exist because they'd have no place in the ecosystem due to either economic or sheer scale reasons like, say, YouTube for generalist video hosting or Google as a whole for multiple industries.
>>737190009>It's actually some sort of PC civil war this is delusional, the contingent of spergs that nitpick at steam has always been tiny and they only started screeching after epic became bigthis is consoleniggers, there's a reason it's always the same retarded criticisms

>>737190687>if i don't like it then it's e-waste>i'm filtered by valve's steam integration drm that's bypassed by replacing a single universal cracker
>>737190598Palworld lost, snoy.
>>737172596>retarded gigawhales giving money to valve to fund phex and proton development to make games more open and improving the best gaming service and store in existenceis this a bad thing? would you rather have it going to horse racing and nintendo jews suing indies and fans into bankruptcy?Besides the point, valve doesn't need rehashes of the same slop to survive like nintendo does. Their games can last 20+ years and can still have tens of thousands or even millions of players. No nintendo babby game can achieve those numbers
>>737190730Nigger, why would I give your fat kike yacht overlord when I can just pirate it?
>>737190809using steam's featuresaside from that?feeling guilty for not paying for your entertainment? nothing, white principles don't really work on brown shame based mindsets
>>737190790How many yacht was it again? Wait how many gaming comptuters in that yacht? 15? How much did it cost? HALF A BILLION?
I just have to ask, when did the yacht become the ultimate status symbol and why would someone get more than one of them?
>>737190921what are they used for, aquajeet?
>>737191001Luxury, child sex parties, also tax evasion by claiming it's for science
>>737191076funny that, always the most retarded and disingenuous interpretation possible, what a sane individual you are, aquajeethow does it impact steam users?
>>737191154censorship of games, users, user content, 30%, 75%, 99% for vidya, mods, skins respectively and a vidya industry that is a shell of it's former self
>>737190687>e-waste>a device that hasn't released>the best non-chinkheld on the marketWhat are you talking about?
>>737190921>how many yacht it was againstfu poop breath
>>737190941It's basically the sign of the richfag>Heh look at all these superyachts I own
>>737190921>How many yacht was it again?Good morning saar
>>737191343>can't even quote correctly award
>>737191245>censorship of games,on the contrary, steam leaves that thing up to the players themselves, consoles don't, they censor anyway>users, user contentpost evidence of this>30%the only relevant gaming store that doesn't do this is currently failing and laid off 1k employees>mods, skinswhat mods, post an example? why do you need to buy skins, are you cattle?>vidya industry that is a shell of it's former selfbut that's on consoles dumbing everything downyou do know that they spend 4x the amount per capita on microtransactions right?
>>737172953The Valve drone's the only one getting a good platform.
>>737191245you're describing nintendo dumbass. Valve ain't the one suing indies for putting mounts in their games retarded poojeet, nor are they taking down fan games like AM2R.
>>737191245>censorship of games,Doesn't happen>usersNope>User content Unless it's blatantly illegal content, nope>Muh 30 percent
>>737191647>nope>nuh uh>nahNot an argument especially when we had bajillion threads talking about steam censorship for 2 years now
>valve isn't a monopoly that's not what a monopoly is >DRONE DRONE YOU ARE A FUCKING DRONE NPC SHILL
>>737191737Steam doesn't censor anything retard you have no leg to stand on
>>737191748who the fuck are you quoting schizo
>>737191808lol
>>737191902>Hasn't refuted the argumentSteam isn't censoring your games, that's on the publishers and devs
>>737191808>he doesn't know about Mary that refuses safe games on a whim.
>>737190502nobody is jealous of tendieslop, i assure you we are all capable of playing games for toddlers if we so desired
>>737191959Yeah sure, buddy. Next you'll tell me everyone complaining about steam censorship was actually Rotschild Tim Nintš¬ddler Snoy
>>737192023>nobody is jealous of tendieslophttps://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/gabe-newell-valve-has-always-been-a-bit-jealous-of-companies-like-nintendo
>>737192185No fucking wayBut then again Gabe was a fucking brony so he always had that energy
>>737192185KEKAROO if you think Gabe would trade places with anyone at Nintendo you are a fucking idiot
>>737192185Gabe himself is literally a tendie lmao, he's called SM64 one of his favorite games ever
>>737192324what does liking SM64 have to do with being a tendie? everyone loves that game and other 90s nintendo games. the problem is everything after that.
>>737192236Honestly viewing any company in the childish way you are that you can't even say their name and add slop on the end. It's a bad generalisation given the variety of things they make and something that only a consumer sees to support their favourite.This isn't just with valve or nintendo but loads of others.I don't understand how people can blindly generalise things like that.
>>737192372He still likes nintendo tho.
Why are steamies having a meltdown?
>>737192405that nigga don't play video games
>>737192451Source?
>>737192481We're on Source 2 now.
Are you okay steam bros?
Okay ngl Valve does have its ups and downs and as someone who only plays L4D2, I can say Valve is very shitty when it comes to updating their games, especially L4D2 since the game literally crashes or won't load any mods from the workshopBut that's not to say on the anti-Valve side. I really just wish they would fix L4D2 and all will be forgiven
>>737192324>SM64 as your favorite gamenormie take
>>737192185>gabe has it so easy after steam that he dreams of having to do a little more work
>>737192431you're in a thread with the most chronically online retard that has constant meltdowns about steam
why do steamcucks think that if you have valve you absolutely must love epic games store and timmy chinkcent? is it all retarded subhuman americunts and their 2 party system? that they literally can't comprehend that you can dislike both?
>>737194009Fuck off tim.
>>737194009ok so youre a consolegroid which is somehow even lower than timmy, congrats
>>737194043consider your concession accepted, steamcuck>>737194104>UR LE CONSOLEFAG!!!jesus chirst, you steamcucks truly are a lost cause
>>737194142Cope harder cuck.
>>737194009alright, give me your organic reasons to hate steamand don't disqualify yourself by using timmy's talking points if you're truly unaffilliated
>>737194142consolefaggot lmao
>>737194009>is it all retarded subhuman americunts and their 2 party system?Statistically, yes. This is how most people's brains work unfortunately and failed normalfags here are no exception.

>>737172596Kek all the console fags seething at PC chads for having games to play.
>>737194545Steam fags are console fags though. They had the full package: A steam console, a steam controller and a steam handheld along with a drm store.

>>737194746But they have a lot of games they can play unlike the rest of the bunch.
>>737194746but that's all fully functional pc hardwareare you just upset over them inventing new form factors and innovating controllers?
>>737194487>steam launcher is an unoptimized slow piece of shitWrong >it's impossible to find games you want to play through steam alone, discovery queue is a half-baked piece of shit that valve never bothers to updatePartly true >>retroactively banning games that didn't break their own rules (collective shout shit, funny that you steamcucks memoryholed that immediately)Nigger what, Steam has NEVER retroactively removed games for breaking rules you can still buy them>attempted paid mods crap with bethesda>Things that never happened >constant outages and general network problems rendering your entire "library" unusable when it happensLiterally only one day on a week steam is a big site >literally admitted you don't own "games" but licenses that can be revokedThat's been the case since the goddamn Atari era

>>737194949>form factorsi am a pc fag and the first time i heard this retarded term is from steam shills
>>737195940no, you're just on the fringe, a tech illiterate schizo poseryour criticisms come from the position of a hypocritical retard who developed those positions as an adult and is desperately and retroactively trying to square away being addicted to games and refusing to commit to the muh independence position
>>737195320What's with steam troons and lying nonstop?
>>737196185>i am clueless, here's an anecdote about my cluelessness
>>737196423Sorry steamie but I am not a console cuck masquerading as pc chad, unlike you.
>>737196512no, you're just tech illiterate and never built your own pcyou'd know what a form factor is if you had to choose between motherboard sizes and the cases for them
>>737172596>Sony and Nintendo: force draconian drm on every single publisher>make it nearly impossible to mod and back up your games>it takes 20 steps to back up your games and might brick your console>sues you for making mods>sues you for making videos of those mods>Valve:drm is optional and your games should be fully moddable at the click of a button>cloudsaves and voice chat should be freeMaybe valve is just better? It's not a hard thing to be better than them though. I've played cheap 10 dollar indie games on sale that mogged 60 dollar AAA nintendo games.
>>737196613>oh no i am filtered by atx, mtx words at pcparts websitesaid no one ever disingenuous cucktake a shower i can smell you from hereget a gym membership and burn that fat while you are at it
>>737172596People who hate Valve are basically the liberals of console war slop.Just like any grand historical figure, despite Valve's great accomplishments, retards will point at a few stains in their reputation and say that it's reason enough to destroy it all. They are an ungodly, graceless people who envy that which is better than them, because where they failed and decided to wallow in their own defeat, others have succeeded in spite of their failures.In short: anyone who despises Valve is envious of them (by proxy of Valve being better than some company that they've tied their personal identity to).
>>737196818but you admit you never learned what a form factor isyou haven't built your pc or you're just retarded and illiterate, pick one
>>737196781What's wrong with you illiterate niggers? OP never said anything niį„teį„dš¬.>>737196897I was obviously making fun of you retarded shills for selling me "form factor" because outside of deck niggers i never heard anyone use that term to sell anything to me before.
>>737196781>*drm on steam is optional to both the consumer and publisherI could easily make copies of steam games and move them to a new PC and publishers could opt not to put intrusive DRM on their games. I'm not sure how you would do something like this with a switch or switch 2. In case your cartridge goes bad, how the hell do you back them up?
>>737197000>I was obviously making fun of you retarded shills for selling me "form factor" because outside of deck niggers i never heard anyone use that term to sell anything to me before.could it be because that's the deck's main feature?would you throw a shitfit if you never learned what a laptop was and someone described it as a form factor that seeks to minimise volume and make it portable?
>>737194487>>constant outages and general network problems rendering your entire "library" unusable when it happensthis has never, and i mean NEVER, not one single time, once, ever, happened to me. ever. not one single time.
>>737197248Hey buddy, you got the wrong thread. The steam deck containment thread is 2 pages down.
>>737197402why are you going insane over learning new words?
steamies been real quiet about this...
>>737197574>sharing gameswhy are consoletrannies like this? piracy + steam is the only combo sane people need.
>>737197574any reason there's not a single date on any of the articles or posts?
>>737197574>Stallman>Hating Valve and praising MicrosoftEven though he hates Valve bundling proprietary software with a Linux distro (steam) he still said it's better then Microsoft
One of their actual worst sins was admitting in the HL2 documentary that they could have easily finished episode 3 in a year or two and Gaben doubling down by saying fans dont want to see the story complete they only want innovation.Their work structure also sucks but thats been well documented at this point.
>>737172596Your lies are weak.
>>737197574huh, im playing my brother's death stranding 2 while he's playing his own gamesthat's odd
>>737172596the more vr games you play the more you will understand how polished and detailed Alyx experience is
>>737172884>You can activate offline mode whenever you want.so long as you're logged in already when you do it>You can rip the entirety of a game's archive out into backup copy any time you want.which is useless without a crack>*the rest of your spastic retard dribble*pic related, you type like a melodramatic bitch from reddit
>>737197959why would i ever be offline or not logged in? why would i ever not have access to a crack? do you think everyone is as retarded as you or something?
>>737197959>so long as you're logged in already when you do itNope. I've had internet outages for days and offline mode continues to work.
>>737197959>so long as you're logged in already when you do ityou also need to be connected to the internet for it to workso if you activate offline mode and your steam client can't connect to the internet for 40 days, you'll be locked out of all "your" games.this shit happened to a guy on an oilrig once, you can look it up
>>737198135Must be tough for oil rig workers.....
>>737197574>lend games to my bro>he plays them just fine while I play everything else>lend games on nintendo online>have to wait 14 days til after the loan period endsWorks just fine for me on steam.
>>737197574>2023you niggers really have no fucking shamealso you're blaming valve for abandoning old windowses? why the fuck do you think they had cause to do so? oh right, fucking microsoft themselves did it
>>737173091>never give back>Sshheeeeeeiiittttt my nigga Gabe needs to gib me dat reparation, namsayin?Youāre a either a nigger or a Commie.
>>737198276silence kike spawn
>>737198238>>737197669and has this changed nowadays? no, it has not
>>737197000Because it's retarded to pick out something that's actually working at killing the cancerous tradition of exclusivity and draconian DRM. The more devs that have once worked on consoles and moved on to steam or just PC in general, the better it is for us not to buy some drm shitbox just to play games.
>>737198462you have a guy in this very thread saying it didit's an anecdote against anecdote and your anecdote is 3 years oldtherefore it's irrelevantbut we all know you're a propagandist that will repost the image again
>>737198598>multiple images + an actual confirmed thread on a forum post vs. "trust me bro"and i'm supposed to trust you steamies because...?it's not like you're not shy of lying >>737195320
>>737198742>an actual confirmed thread on a forumlol
>>737198742you're posting in an actual confirmed thread right now
>>737198742what a dumb nigger you areyou want him to make a post on the steam support forum telling them that the feature works perfectly?thanks for reaffirming that you screechers are legitimately mindbroken and beyond reasonalso no matter how much you hold onto the paid mods thing, it didn't happenand you continuously bringing it up shows you're a vindictive bitch that was abused as a child
It's a bit hypocritical to say this, but if you are pro valve and keep coming in to these threads to actually try to argue then you are honestly worse than the retards who are anti valve. Even if they are shills, it's obvious anti valve people aren't here to have civil debates.Excuse the therapy talk, but just stop enabling them. The more you keep giving them attention the more they post and the worse your own life gets. If you are still retarded and haven't been able to recognize their tactics already, or are too immature to control your implus control, well that's on you.Just go to a thread about actual video games and be done with it.
>>737199428Look everybody, ivy nigger judging us from on top of her high horse. Even steam drones condemn your existence
Is this the Timmy thread?
>>737199428This. If you must say something. Call them a faggot and move on.
>>737194487>literally admitted you don't own "games" but licenses that can be revokedGOG is the only storefront that doesn't do this btw. So unless you're specifically saying this to promote GOG or exclusively piracy you're as retarded as steamies lmao
>>737177427Broken window fallacy. You should kill yourself.
>>737201395Retard
>>737173745Why does the mad guy on the right have a 1 instead of an ear?
>>737189524Shills, Tim Sweeney, the Rothschilds and many others hate Valve because they see it as taking "their" money. They desperately want Valve to stop existing so they can get more money, and since they act like typical shills whose playbook never allows them to make the slightest concession or propose anything, they only try 24/7 social shaming just like they do in their anti-NEET campaigns or their "if you say that, women won't fuck you!". It's obviously retarded to try to shame people immune to such tactics, but it's the only one they have.
>>737200074You don't own your GOG games either, by the way. They're revokable licenses, and if your account is terminated, you must destroy all of your games and delete your installers.
>>737199837Absolutely, if Gabe tries to take my games away I will pirate them back
>>737201834Legally they're revocable but they intentionally bypassed their own user agreement by designing their distributions around it being a self-initiated revocation instead of store-side. It's similar to WinRAR's licensing system.
