*held back
>>737515378Impressive use of adjectives anon, truly a high IQ post
>>737515527Didn't Gabe lose a ton of weight?
>>737515475oooooooooooooooooooooooooor i can not buy those games and just have all my stuff in one place
>>737515475At least Tim Sweeney cares about gamers enough to offer an alternative to Gaben's monopolized yacht money funnel.
>>737515378>so fat his gravity field keeps the PC vidya market togetherIt will be so over once Gaben dies.
Which corpo his son is going to sell Valve to? Microsoft or Amazon?
>>737515825It will be sold to Epic Games, at which point Steam will finally become good.
>>737515882Epic doesn't have enough money.
>>737515825Whoever offers the biggest sum.
>>737515924It will be sold for the good of the industry.
>>737515475Hey Timmy your game can barely get more players than PUBG nowadays, let alone CS2. You should probably be focusing on your dying company instead of shitposting on 4chan.
Gaben is so powerful he made novonordisk release ozempic so he could slim down.
>>737515681cares about sucking money out of tiny chinese penis lmaoNow I understand where Timmy comes from. Even the lowest African can laugh at this cuck failure.
>>737516424saar tim sweeney works for the chinese saar
>holding up the gaming industry>literally invented non ownership of purchased media
>>737515554A deciton.
This entire thread is brown.
>>737515378When he dies we'll stop owning our games and they'll put MTX bullshit gacha in valve games and- Oh wait...
>>737516595brown like the gallons of diarrhea that our lard and savorer gaben blasts into his toilet every other hour
Who could be behind this post?
>>737515449Sadly the AI, much like its creator, will be fat, and will eventually succumb to digital diabeetus
>>737517197Surely that could be no match for ozempic.bat
>>737515825His son will be assassinated by the major employee stakeholders and his body will be dumped into the ocean; buried at sea with his father. Steam will stay private and gamers will keep paying rent.
>>737517362Why does this sound like an MGS plot
>>737515378how does one achieve this physique natty
>>737516524steam isn't a monopoly until you question whether anons could play games on their pc for a year without using steam AND not resulting to piracy / emulation

>>737518016congrats on reading my post and not understanding what i said at all
>>737515825I really don't think it will be sold, the majority stake will almost certainly be split for multiple beneficiaries, someone like coomer, or maybe a small group of someones will take on gaben's role as the central pivot at valve Valve will continue to print money because literally every single corpo who tries to compete with them fucks everything up, Microsoft was the only real competitor who ever had a chance and even they shot themselves in the foot multiple times
Steam drones are unfuckingreal. They'll deflect everything wrong about Steam to a different platform as if it has anything to do with it.

>>737519158Nigger I don't care if Gaben only slides half his dick up my ass. I don't want any dick up my ass.
>>737515378but enough about OP's mother
OP already made up his mind in this matter and just shitposting, but regardless of that; what will happen is, well, not much. Valve as a dev studio hasn't been relevant for 15+ years especially after epistle 3 incident as that was basically an unofficial official confirmation of what everyone's been telling about Valve for years. (We also had tweets at around 2013-2015 confirming cancellations of l4d, hl3 and focusing steam full time.) Yes, they did jack shit for over a decade aside from jacking off to ponies and playing dota. Yes, Valve doesn't care about video games ever since Steam's popularity boom which happened around Portal 2. The only games they somewhat maintain are their skin cash cow unregulated underage gambling ecosystems and even the players in those games haven't been happy about Valve for 15+ years. Steam's monopoly empire, gamers' being spineless consoomer drones who let corporations get away with shitty business practices have killed any hope for pc gaming's future. It is already too late. Gabe and his buddies are just parasites. He can die or live forever and nothing will change about gayming. No matter what schizoid pro corpo bootlcikers spam here, no matter how much they try to force their store war narratives, no matter how much they try to rationalize Valve's actions and try to paint them as heroes, singlehandedly saving gayming with their shitty drm store and funneling all the revenue to yachts and other bullshit not vidya businesses out of greed. Higher ups and Gaybe the Fat jew himself clearly don't really care about video games at this point and see all of this as a device to milk goyim just like every other soulless suit in stupid big vidya corporations. This board needs to fuck off with their pathetic attempts at relieving the glory days of console war memes by sucking to Valve. I don't even think dumbasses are even joking at this point. They are simply this deluded and believe vampires at Valve matter in the grand scheme of industry.
>>737523390You are indian lmao
>>737519158>valve has given you as many rights as possibleExcept ownership, a right he took away.
>>737522742>immediately pivots to faggotryyou're getting drm literally everywhere retard, valve is the one that STOPPED it from getting worse>>737523761what the fuck is ownership to you? is it based on practicability or is it just being given plastic to hoard for your søy shelf to get updoots on reddit with?
>>737524045It doesn't matter because I will NEVER pay a single shekel again for vidya as long as they treat the consumer like they currently do. I pirate exclusively now and have for years.
Guys is there a way to directly clone my entire steam library over to Goldberg without having to pirate every single one from somewhere
>>737524045It's the same as the textbook definition of ownership under capitalism.
>>737524270that makes your input pretty much irrelevant, you should be glad valve is enabling piracy by keeping drm easy to bypass>>737524448and what are its benefits?
>>737515378I'm putting my Steam in offline mode as a precaution when that day comes, I think I can get another PC and keep my original system as an offline legacy machine in case his successor is a piece of shit?
>>737524614>I'm putting my Steam in offline modeNot going to save you.
>>737524571>and what are its benefits?My money is secured. My games are an investment and a commodity. My games are my property and not someone elses. >I don't care about thatThat's fine. I do.
>>737524754>My money is secured. My games are an investment and a commodity. My games are my property and not someone elses.translate this mental illness into english nowhow do those empty platitudes convert to playing games? what the fuck do you get out of "owning" games? a discount because you can resell? just pirate then, you get better versions on pc anyway
>>737524717Yeah it will, there's no periodic authorization checks. You just won't be able to ever update your games and your PC can never be connected to the internet to avoid stealth connections.
>>737523390didnt read + youre indian
>>737516524But Apple did that before Valve
>>737525232no one cares faglord
>>737523390jesus christ aquajeet, learn some formattingi'm not even going to read past the second line because you're too fucking stupid to press the enter key
>>737524892>translate this mental illness into english nowNo.>how do those empty platitudes convert to playing games? I doesn't, at all. >what the fuck do you get out of "owning" games?I already answered that question.>just pirate then, you get better versions on pc anywayYup, if Gabe won't let me own the games I purchase from him then I will pirate his games. Piracy is a customer service issue after all.
>>737525232Still pirating Valve.
>>737525295so there is no benefit to "owning" games? glad we got that sorted out
>>737525261It's okay to be wrongNo reason to be upset
>>737525338The benefits aren't limited to my list, these are just some benefits I threw out since you asked. Here are the benefits I listed: >>737524754
>>737525338When I own a physical copy of a game it can't be taken away from me because I hurt someone's feelings and they get my account banned.
>>737525385so benefits to "owning" games are completely unrelated to anything actually related to games and you're so retarded you think you can make money off them instead of going for stocks like a non retarded human being?>>737525424post evidence of this happening on steam that isn't actual scam game keys being revoked
>>737525553>so benefits to "owning" games areSee >>737525385>you're so retarded you think you can make money off them*smart, aware, wise, etc>instead of going for stocks like a non retarded human being?I also invest in wallstreet. This is because I'm smart, aware, and wise.
>>737525752>i am smart>plays worse versions of games and compromises the quality of his entertainment with the idea of making a few bucks on them in 10 years after inflation rapes themdo you only eat rice and potatoes, faggot? you can save a lot of money there too
>>737525752>I also invest in wallstreet. This is because I'm useful idiot golemftfy
>>737525910Calm down. I'm allowed to criticize Steam. >>737525920Sure.
>>737525962you're also allowed to make rational choices, which you don't, considering you're so mindbroken you're trying to make pocket change off holding shit for a decadeyou come to a video games board and you're saying you want to play worse versions of video games due to reasons completely unrelated to video games
>>737526037Sorry you feel that way.
>>737526137no counter then? you really hate video games so much you'd rather play shittier versions if it means you can hold onto them for a few years to get a pathetically small level of profit?
Time to become an epicchad instead
>>737526236>no counter then?No thanks. I'm to mature to get into petty name calling and flamewars with internet children. If you want to discuss something rationally I'll still always be here.
>>737526379>I'm to mature>toyou're a larper and that's that, you're too illiterate for itwhat's really happening here is that you don't actually like games which is why you want people to not use the platform that's actually the most conducive to playing and enjoying games
I'm avoiding his subscription model like fire, I still can't believe how this scam got so popular... Well I kind of know why, mutts are mostly retards and they never read Gabes Terms Of Use.
>>737526468I'm sorry you feel thay way.
>>737526671if you have nothing to say then don't responddidn't your dad tell you to not be an annoying passive aggressive effeminate bitch when you lose or were you raised without one which is why you turned out this way?
>>737526639every single place you can get games from sells licenses, even physical on consoles
>>737526729No thanks, I'll keep responding.
>>737515378OP typed this with one hand
>>737515378god damn hes fat
>>737525284>I can't read anything unless it's in the Reddit-approved formatting!Go back.
>>737523390>valve is shit>gabe doesn't careThat was a lot of words to say this.
>>737528357if you don't put effort into making something readable then you shouldn't be mad that no one wants to read it
>>737525261uh oh melty
>>737526823>No thanks, I'll continue being an assmad faggotWhat did he mean by this?
Valve games are shit
>>737529064don't bother engaging the tendie sperg, he's just seething at valve because they're their new enemy team
>>737529064Sorry to hear that you're an assmad faggot. Maybe one day you'll learn to accept criticism of Valve.
>>737529503Indeed.
>>737529503>valve>gamesHuh?
>>737515475No usecase. Either consume Steamslop or buy from GOG GODS.
>>737515378Why won't you follow his example/v/ he is fat just like you
Wow, it's so nice to see dumb butt hurt Steamies getting eternally BTFO!KNOW YOUR PLACE!
>PC can never be connected to the internet to avoid stealth connections.Use simplewall and block the connection
>>737515475presented with a sandwich and a log of shit i do not see why i would eat both
>>737528580but if i do that how will i pretend i'm an intellectual and not a reactionary?
>>737525079make sure to change the config so it doesn't try to verify/update if the client ever crashes
>>737516524So if I look at a box of a game from before Steam it's not going to have the legal blurb on it how you are only buying a license?
>>737523761true digital ownership exists almost entirely within piracy regardless whether its before or after steam. There are very few products that you can buy that dont have some kind of asterisk that comes along with buying something online. almost all criticism of steam ultimately ends up in the fields of pedantry and inane reasoning where literally nobody at any point in time has offered some mythical better solution, never will, and almost always the proposed alternative is worse in every single metric.
>>737524270>Valve is making me pirateYou can just admit that you are copingIf you actually cared you would be buying console games instead, which also screw you over, or support devs in other ways, but we both know you are only looking for an excuse to justify your behavior
>>737530381>He's also retarded while also being an assmad faggotWhat did he mean by this?
>>737533907And case in point right here >>737533893This faggot is bending his logic into a pretzel just so he can be on the right side in his mindYou can just admit that you are a faggot and don't want to spend any money to support what is supposedly the object of your hobby. You don't have to be a gigafaggot trying to be holier than thou
>>737534083did you even read my post you fucking retard
>>737519819So what's wrong about Steam again? Oh yeah, nothing.
>>737515378If you don't have at least 20 years of service on Steam, lower your tone when speaking to me.
>>737533907NTA but I pirate because I don't want bullshit spyware running, easy enough?If some bullshit has to run before my game can run I want nothing to do with it.
>>737533893>true digital ownershipNo such thing.
>>737534507i own a game i pirated more than a physical disk.>can modify, delete, share, play, redownload to my hearts content>only thing that matters is my hdd/ssdon a physical disk>still beholden to licensing/drm restrictions, losing/breaking the disk requires me to buy a new copy of the game>the difference between data on a cd and my hdd is literally 0
>>737534259SOON
>>737534781There aren't levels of ownership, either you own something or you don't, and in this case you don't own anything because you can't own digital media. You're just lying and hoping nobody calls you on it.
>>737535543ok, how can i own a video game, an inherently digital media?
So what's the story behind this?
>>737535543>you can't own digital mediaWhich makes physicalfags sound retarded, because physical games are digital.
>>737535604the original steambox
>>737535595Through a physical medium that's officially licensed. Good question.
>>737535625There two different media formats. digitally formatted media and physically formatted media. Hope this helps with your confusion.
>>737535871>licensed>owninginteresting. Now let me see the EULA that lets me share and modify it at will
>>737535958They're both digital.
>>737535961>interestingNot really.>let me see the EULA that lets me share and modify it at willTry China or North Korea for communistic economic practices.
>>737536094>Try China or North Korea for communistic economic practices.ok so then i dont actually own it and im still beholden to whatever companies practices and allowances they tolerate me having
>>737535986>b-b-but *cries*Pipe down, dimwit.
>>737536437False. You own it AND you're still beholden to whatever companies practices and allowances they tolerate me having.
>>737536550>You own it AND you're still beholdenso i dont own it
>>737536105This image is older than half of vee's posters. Steam hasn't had a good sale in at least a decade.
You'll have to pay a subscription to play the games you thought you bought
>>737536593Incorrect.
>>737536637explain
>>737523390What happened to the artifact poster?
>>737515378I liked Valve better when they made games and didn't hire psychologist to optimize the best way to get kids hooked on gambling.
>>737536670>>737536550
>>737515497Not how AI models work broski, he is creating the model from scratch, not using prompt engineering
>>737515554No. He gained so much that he achieved critical mass and gained his own gravitational field, which distorts light to make him appear thin.
>>737515378
>>737536934Imagine caring about lootboxes when no games worth playing have them.
>>737536628Now that is just total bs
>>737515378>>whole computer game market is held up by one single 63 year old greasy fat morbidly obese oily lard-filled fat ugly plump rotund circular spherical oblate egg-shaped octuple-chinned fat large voluptuous curvaceous thick sweaty fat fucking FAT JIGGLY FATASS fat lardass greasy blubbery lardlord fat fuck blob of blubber who FUCKING JIGGLES WHEN HE WALKS whos PENDULOUS GREASY LARD-FILLED STOMACH SLAPS THE TOP OF HIS THIGHS EVERY STEP HE TAKES making a disgusting AUDIBLE SOUNDperfect. i want someone like me to represent me
>>737518016only for games where publishers paid for drm. reminder that all the drm free games on steam do need steam running.which makes it functionally the same as GoG, as GoG sells games with DRM, so the only difference between platforms is the ratio of DRM games.
>>737515378Damn tim is seething
Half-Life 3 is delayed by another month every time you call me fat, you dorks.
>>737515554Yes, but its sad, as he used Ozempic and its clear that fucks up the brain. So Gaben has stop thinking rationally and has now left control of Valve to his minions, who have their own opinions and will enshitifiy the company very soon.
>>737542018Only slavs play Valve games in 2026.

>>737515378I got banned for 3 days for criticizing this fatfuck
>>737518016Steam is explicitly not a monopoly You don't have to put your games on thereYou know what's a monopoly? Consoles, you HAVE TO go through their respective corporations to put your game on that hardware
>>737545921They still don't qualify, because there's competing consoles and the PC.
>>737546491so that means steam doesn't qualify even harder since it's not tied to the hardware at all
>>737516524Federal law states that once I buy something its quite literally mine forever, thoughbeit.
>>737546834Of course. The only faggots trying to argue that are publishers, because they can't sell on their own stores and keep all the money, and faggots who have axes to grind.
>>737516524the fuck man, even doom 2 floppies say all right reserved. that shit is fucking way older than steam
>>737546834yeah its funnier when you notice that you can actually have steam on ps5 and xbone, and valve would be more then happy to do the legwork to make the games work, but its literally sony and microsoft saying NOOOOoooooooooo only we may do this
>>737515378wow, you think about gabe a lot.
>>737515378Servers will shut down for 3 weeks, but not before injecting your system with something that will prevent you from playing installed offline games.When they come back you'll have to pay 300 USD to download any game you bought, then another 150 to play it... every time you run it.Steam will require being opened 24/7 and its resource usage increase tenfold, then increase exponentially the more it's opened.All your personal data, even if it wasn't in your system, will be displayed for anyone to see on your profile. Deleting your profile won't do anything.They will hire mercs to send after you if you ever pirated anything that was on Steam.Markets will collapse.Cities will burn (if you enjoy and want to watch everything burn you will be prevented from doing so).
