>buys a new yatch every week from gambling children what a great guy
I'm like telling my parents who Gaben is... he's older than them and way cooler roflIt's been over a decade now and they still don't even know I've been giving gaben all their money
His gaming den must be epic.
>>738991357Why do central bankers, Megafunds managers and billionaires (who shouldn't exist) always buy yachts, what's the damn appeal
>NOOOO THINK OF THE POOR CHILDERINOSHow do they even get money to gamble away?
>>738991357Who cares? Why are you upset that someone else is rich? It's not like if he didn't have that money that you would somehow be blessed with money and a working brain.
Good, fuck gamblers. If you're of such weak mind that you're a gambling addict you deserve to lose all your money.
>>738991507Note that everyone that says "think of the children" (like Null) is thinking of children way too much.
>>738991486the sea is relaxing
>>738991486To show off and because you can't have one.
At least the money is being put to good use, imagine if they bought fent or that cannabis stuff and gave money to the government
>>738991486Its a status symbol your own home away from civilization on the water
>>738991486Money sink. When you have a ton of money and you have nothing to do, a yacht is a great luxury item because there are constant repairs, maintenance, upgrades, etc. It literally gives you something to do.My Uncle has a ton of money and he has a yacht and it is basically his second child. I think a lot of rich people get like that because it is a project you can basically keep working on forever.
>>738991486It's like a mobile luxury hotel, and you can do business with others.
>>738991486So they can rape children in lawless waters and get away with it while telling their other billionaire friends about it.
The fact that Gabe just spends his days playing with his toys not bothering anyone makes him one of the better richfags, he's not some devil worshiping child rapist like Bill Gates doing evil shit to make people miserable just out of boredom.
Imagine being so awesome that schizos on 4chan obsess about you.
>>738991357Oh my god does gaben have cancer? Fffffffff
>>738991865He had a tumor, but he offered it a billion dollars and it went into remission.
>>738991357What a bad guy fr fr
>>738991909Which particular currency has these magical properties
>>738991662Also it is a sign of wealth too, obviously. It is just unlike buying a super expensive watch or other piece of jewelry, a yacht is an actual useful thing. They also like to learn to sail them.It is hard to explain. Yacht culture just kind of exists for the rich. It is basically a ridiculously expensive, exclusive hobby that gives you a near endless amount of things to do, learn, and pay for.
Why do rich people love yachts so much? Like, buying a boat, I get it. But then they buy two and three and a whole ass fleet and fifty cars and how soulless are you? If I was rich I'd probably be throwing money at projects I wanted to see for no real profit. Why yes, I will drop a dozen million on this random adaptation of a story I like. No, I don't expect it to make numbers.Do rich people just not have hobbies other than buying lame shit?
>>738992059the shekel
>>738992034Who cares about the earth? I'll be dead before the earth will. Tim tried to ruin gaming, which affects me directly.>but think about [shit that doesn't matter] and be miserable like me!No, I don't think I will.>>738992059There's only one currency that matters.
>>738991865Ozempic
>>738992106See: >>738991662>>738992076A lot of it is literally just filling your time with a project that is expensive and personal. Also there is an edge of masculinity to it too because boat/yacht owners are overwhelmingly men.
>>738992034How does anyone benefit from some rich fag fencing off huge swathes of land? He probably buries the kids he rapes there.
>>738992106No place more free than the seven sees land lubber
>>738991627>>738991639>>738991662>>738991692>Simping for financial parasites and defending them pretending you belong to the same class as themWhat causes this delusion among unserious Americans
>>738992182>masculinityWhat's more masculine than living with your mom at 40 and gossiping about ecelebs and CEOs? I'm a real man because I'm a kissless virgin, and I'm catty like Rex Reed (RIP).
>>738991462Here's a rare photo of gaben cave.
>>738992034>>738992141>>738992194> Even as prices have climbed, Sweeney is still able to move fast when valuable land becomes available. He now holds on to these properties until the state or conservation groups are ready to take them over.> The 54-year-old has explained that he sells land to such organizations at a discount, using the proceeds to fund future conservation efforts.> Private buyers, such as local families looking to expand their property, have occasionally managed to buy land from Sweeney, but only after assuring him that critical natural habitats would be preserved.
>>738992224Poverty and stupidity, two things that go hand in hand
>>738991357Enjoy your yacht Mr. Newell. It's on me.
>>738992268>you should care, even though none of this makes anything you care about better>>738992287Note all these anti-Valve threads are made by someone poor and stupid who got VAC banned and can't trade knife skins anymore.>>738992309>label on side is backwardsYou had ONE FUCKING JOB.
>>738991662A yacht is a boat, you subhuman. It doesn't LITERALLY do fucking anything. Learn to speak english. You are LITERALLY retarded. Use the word properly, or not at all. Fucking nigger.
>>738991357Noone to blame but themselves, if you know what a 'float' is and still buy keys and give a shit, you're just a big dumby.>t. Thousands of hours in CS and havent bought 1 key
>>738992141Your cuck e cheese tokens are gonna be worthless lel
>>738992336>boats don't do anythingEuropean education, everyone.
>>738992330Sorry...
Many years ago I emailed him asking if he took part in any distributed computing projects and he said he had a nehalem chip dedicated to running seti@home
>>738992374ESL nigger. A boat doesn't LITERALLY do anything. A boat PHYSICALLY does, in ACTUALITY. Dumb FUCK. Get OFF ALL ENGLISH SPEAKING SITES.
>>738992287Not to the same extent as a financial parasite and narcissistic personality disorder do
>>738992445>calls me ESL>doesn't know what "literally" meansIf it does things in a very real literal sense, it literally does them.A boat literally floats on water, because that statement applies to literal reality.Learn to speak American, I guess.
>>738991486Because you don't have to pay income or property taxes. Your home becomes the yacht and you only have to obey maritime laws. You just keep moving from shore to shore to avoid the "if you stay X successive months in X country, you're bound to pay taxes to it". On top of that, many business owners set their yachts as their "new office" from which they work from. This way they can use company funds and tax reduction because it officially serves the company. You can often see this with smaller companies who buy luxurious cars as their "company car" because they can deduce the cost of the car from the company's taxes.I don't understand how retards here STILL defend Valve and its greedy owner. Even going as far as buying their shit overpriced hardware, while the owner is laughing all the way back to the bank.
>>738992514Yeah show those pedo jews by taking their vaccines lel
>>738992528Literal implies literary, you colloquial nigger.
>>738992259I think I had that keyboard
>>738992539What is there to defend? Steam is a superior service compared to anything we have or had. I prefer Steam to how PC gaming used to be.>WE DIDN'T HAVE DRM BACK THEN! WE OWNED OUR GAMES!No. You owned a CD Key. A CD Key that if you lost or gave to someone else rendered all data on the disk useless. Before then you had archaic practices like telling you to turn to page 4 and type in the 12th word that necessitated a manual. If you kept the disks but threw away the dumb pieces of paper that came with it, you had a new coaster. You literally were unable to play online without a valid CD key. If you used a key generator to install a game you legally purchased, you could often not play online. If you wanted a friend to borrow you game, you guys could not play online together as only one CD key could be online. Gabe is a greedy asshole who makes a ton of money by providing a superior product to anyone else. He takes a bigger cut than he needs to but as the consumer I do not care. I made my Steam account in 2004 and I've had no issues with it.
>>738992702No, it doesn't, you fucking huemonkey.
>>738991357I wonned a CS case from CS Global Offensive in 2015 and then I selled it for 30 cents 5 year's later. He's really my goat giving free money for free. And then I boughted many games because my account was set to argentina LOL
>>738992117based
>>738992790Your goy dictionary teaches you hamburger definitions based on modern colloquialisms. Goyim dictionaries are not typically true sources of etymological research, thus do not afford sincere understanding of language. You do not yet know the soul of the law. Exoteric fart huffing faggot.
>>738991357>seeing anything>thinks of children
>>738992876>my kosher dictionary defines it differently, goyimOkay, (((Hyman Goldberg))).
>>738992735Why are you lying? Old physical games were always shared in school and people played online with the same cd-key. This stopped when companies like Steam forced their shit DRM.You're literally making shit up. I don't think you were even born in 2004 with such false claims.
Imagine, if you will, an economic system, which combines all the positive parts of socialism and libertarianism, and throws away all the shitty and unrealistic parts, works perfectly within a racist ethnostate, and has a long track record of working exactly as intended. You probably don't believe such a system actually exists, but it does. It is called Distributism."In Britain in the 1920s and 30s, the distributists sought the restoration of family and individual liberty by a revival of smallholder agriculture and small business and an end to grasping landlords, by attacking monopolies and trusts and denouncing what they saw as anonymous and usurious control of finance.“Opposed to laissez-faire capitalism, which distributists argued leads to a concentration of ownership in the hands of a few and to state-socialism in which private ownership is denied altogether, distributism was conceived as a genuine Third Way, opposing both the tyranny of the marketplace and the tyranny of the state, by means of a society of owners”Economics for Helen by Hilaire BellocThe Servile State by Hilaire BellocThe Outline of Sanity by C.

>>738993072You're straight up wrong and retarded. Try playing Starcraft BW online with the same CD Key as someone else. You can't. You're such a bullshit artist, you actually tried to pull out the "N-No, that isn't true!" card when you're probably some underaged b& faggot.
>>738991537OP is just saying what a great guy he is. Why are you upset?
>>738993167Worse was UT2004, when someone keygenned your legit key and got you both banned.
>>738993167Starcraft BW used some cancer DRM like Steam retard. It required a connection to Battle.Net.
>>738992034>The Virgin forest preserver vs the Chad marine research vidya vessel
>>738993371Most online games with CD keys required authentication with a server.
>>738992106To be clear, Gaben has one yacht that he helped design that includes facilities for long term oceanic research, and he has financed another for an ocean research group.
To stop a gabenPress the gaben
>>738993468He has 7, and bought the manufacturer.
>>738992340Are you going to blame this baby for getting hooked on nicotine too?
>>738991357Tbh, those people should be taxed into oblivion.
>>738993634It's the cigarette company's fault.
>>738991357retards deserve to be fucked
>>738993634No, I blame the parents for not watching their kid and rearing them right, as I do for parents that let their kids gamble>but gabe shouldn't allow IGabe allows 18+ steam accounts to gamble, if you and a buddy climb into a trenchcoat to pass the bouncer that's not exactly Gabe's fault.
>>738993371Yeah? The biggest PC gaming company prior to Valve already implemented an arguably worse form of the DRM because it relied on a physical piece of paper or code you had to write down? They weren't the only ones either. You also ignored shit like being unable to install/play/progress in a game without the fucking manual or code wheels which are even more retarded. At least a CD Key I can write down, some of them you needed a fucking decoder ring like it was a comic book.
>>738993743Rearing children should be a community effort. It's impossible for parents to be responsible for everything, we are not superhuman, we make mistakes and overlook things.
>>738993829>we overlook thingsSo we should outlaw cars in the event that the parent "miss" their 10 year old stealing their keys and driving off with it?
>>738993634Parents need to take a more active role in what their kids do. It does NOT require a lot of time or research. My parents would literally look up the content in a game before they got it. The reason I say that is because they actually got me M rated games when I was like 12 years old because they saw it wasn't a bunch of sex, just cartoon guns and blood so they didn't care. However, they did restrict me from playing some games due to sexual content or other things. They actually bothered to spend 10 minutes looking at it before they bought it.Do other people's parents just not care about them? Tell your fucking kid that you get to look at his steam library/account once in a while. Better yet, use the family share or any of the other numerous option steam has to just check up on them. You can give your kid privacy and not be a helicopter parent while still making sure they're not getting groomed on Discord or given a gambling addiction on Twitch.
>>738993743When I put my kid down in front of the electronic babysitter for 15 hours, then go pass out while gazing at the poolboy and drinking screwdrivers, I expect that TV to raise my kid right.
>>738993445No, they didn't. I've played many online games shared with friends. Off the top of my head: Swat 4, NFS Urgrnd 1 & 2, CoD 1 & 2, SoF 2, Battlefront 1 & 2, Far Cry 1, Painkiller, Quake 3 Arena, etc, etc. All multiplayer.You're an absolute retard. Stop responding to me. If you want to lie, then find someone else whose actually gonna swallow your made-up manure. Kinda hard to convince people of the opposite of what they've done.
>>738993895That's not a common event, but if it were then yes, more would have to be done about it. However, it IS a common even for kids to get hooked on gambling for jpegs.
>>738993985Q3A I can guarantee did key checks.
>>738993998Then you should monitor your kids better....evidence suggests that parents aren't getting more attentive with time
>>738993909>get text saying 2.49 went to valvecorp>ask kid "what the hell is that">"oh I'm buying keys for....">remove CC from steam accountWow parenting sure is difficult, can we hang Gabe already????
>>738993769Blizzard doesn't sell other people's games, retard. Valve implemented DRM and become a storefront for the ENTIRE industry. People started using Steam for CS/HL and then said "well, if I have to log in Steam to play, I guess I'll just buy all my games on Steam for convenience". Deadly mistake.
>>738991357/v/ should hate Gabe, but they don't.
>>738994107Now with child accounts and family management, there's no excuse. You can demand approval from an adult account for purchases.
>>738994056>aren't getting more attentive with timeIs there evidence that they're getting less attentive? There is, however, evidence that raising kids being a communal effort is common in most societies. It's evolutionarily beneficial.
>>738991357>buysdoesn't he own a yacht making company?
>>738994217Imagine you have an uncle. He shows up at your house every year and showers you with gifts. He builds you a treehouse. He takes you to Wrestlemania. He's the coolest uncle ever.Then you find out he savagely raped your cousin daily for 14 years, and he's going to prison.Do you really CARE about that? He was a good uncle.
>>738994217I hated Gabe when installing HL2 meant installing Steam, I've come to hate him less after using just about every single other store that just wants to be Steam2. I grew to like Gabe when it became viable to play vidya on Linux. I'd be lying if I said there wasn't any brand loyalty whatsoever, but I do buy games on other DRM-free platforms
>>738992702ahahahahahaha
>>738994316A better analogy would be that you found out he gave you sleeping pills and raped your asshole without you knowing.
>>738994272Communal effort doesn't mean Amazon, Walmart, and Valve are expected to raise your kids for you. Communal effort implies attentiveness from multiple parties, your kid slinking away and spending YOUR FUCKING MONEY on keys should go noticed by you.....when my wife buys coffee at a coffee stand in the morning, I'm notified, when I buy a 5 dollar sandwich, I'm notified, how unaware of your finances are you?Like, let's separate your inability to parent for a second, let's say your kid is watching porn online all day, now let's say he buys a monthly sub to Brazzers, how do YOU not notice your money being spent?
>>738994426But the thing is, all these "horrible" things that Gabe did don't actually affect me, so my analogy was more apt.
>>738991486Do they even sail across the ocean with these massive yachts? It's massive so i assume that's the point but the ocean is also massive, you must need like a million litres of diesel>>738991357No problem Gaben, the next ones on me
>>738994459>don't actually affect meJust because you're literally too stupid to realize the long term consequences of his actions doesn't mean they don't affect you.
>>738993160Interesting, but odd place to randomly post it.
>>738994489Gabe mostly goes up and down the coast, in a given day he goes on like 2-3 "dives" while also "working" though I'm not really sure what work looks like for him (I imagine meetings and telling people Yes and No)
>>738994316>Then you find out he savagely raped your cousin daily for 14 yearsDid he NTR me or not? That's important.
>>738994427So you're saying we should ban kids from playing video games? Or give them zero privacy. That way they won't be exposed to it.
>>738994492They don't affect me. Faggots like to make themselves miserable about shit that doesn't matter because "think of the children with their supple buttocks and pouting lips mmm children I'm not creepy mmm," but it doesn't matter to me. Every decision made by Valve has made gaming better for me.>>738994561Cousin looks like Rocky Dennis. Take that how you want.
All that money from Sweet Baby Inc and democrats sure is paying off!
>>738994427How do you get notified? Is there some sort of app that tracks all the charges to a credit card account or something? That'd be kind of useful.
>>738994572Are you seriously clutching your pearls about your underage children having limited online privacy from their parents? I'm saying you should be aware of what your kids are doing, more important than that I'm saying you should be aware of where your money is disappearing....
I don't understand rich people and the shit they buy, feels like they're trying to compensate for how devoid of meaning their lives are.
>>738991357Absolutely based he can buy 5 more.
>>738994624Every bank app can be set up to do that, and they can send emails. Steam itself can be configured with families, and kids can request purchases from adults without having the card themselves.
>>738994217no, /v/ should not. gaben saved pc gaymen, this is a fact. no one except tranny furry "artist" smut peddlers care about open ai. get a real job, faggot
>>738994598>Cousin looks like Rocky Dennis.Damn, Gabe.
>>738994643You're the one forcing the money issue. This conversation was never about kids stealing mommy's credit card. I'm talking about kids being exposed to normalized gambling. That kind of shit can stay with them until they're an adult.
>>738994624Most every American CC company I'm aware of has email and text alerts which I have enabled
>>738991486So they can perform crimes out at sea privately outside of laws whilst complaining to you that piracy is wrong, without ever paying taxes.It also gets them away from stupid people (the average consumer) and lets them live in luxury on their own.
>>738994774>why is this about moneyBecause how does one gamble with no money....where does it come from, and what are you doing to protect your kids from gambling, what lessons are you teaching your kids about gambling?
>lootboxes and gambling is fine for kids because... it just is when Valve does it ok!?
>>738994837What lesson is society teaching about gambling? That it's fun?
>>738994316Wait, what exactly did Gabe gift you? YOU gave him your money. YOU gave him your data with Steam telemetry (was probably even used to train AI). YOU gave him the right to your so-called "possessions". YOU gave away your dopamine/norepinephrine by playing deliberately addictive multiplayer games. YOU gave your money to HIM in hope of opening some cRaZy SuPeR rArE item box (I promise, I promise, this is the LAST loot box I open... I swear! I am NOT a gambling addict, trust me!!).I really think you're part of a cult for STILL defending that company and its owner.
>>738994782>*m*r*c*nWhat about first world countries?
>>738994889That it makes poor people poorer, but we can't police the decisions of every single adult who wants to piss away their money on gambling and booze because responsible people like a little gambling and booze from time to time. Hell, I like a good scratcher and a scotch, you don't restrict my access to it because some bum spent all his money on lotto and 40s
>>738994983>ahem, I'm in a first world country!>also we don't have SMS alerts for bank/credit card paymentsInteresting, I've never been to cameroon
Does he ACTUALLY buy a yacht every week or is this just /v/irgin hyperbole?
>>738994973I get>fast downloads>non-annoying client>game sharing>organization>a huge libraryWhere's the downside?>lootboxesI've never played a game with a lootbox. If you have, maybe that's a you problem.>telemetryHow does that affect me?>dopamine skinnerbox goyslop etc etc etcAh, you're just insane.Find me a better way to buy games than Steam.>>738995040I was just memeing. Plenty of people like to bash the USA, and are so ashamed of their country that they'll never say what it is. I imagine central Africa as the origin of those posts.>>738995108He's got 7 and has had 7 for a while. He did buy a manufacturer, though.
>>738995108He owns 6, which is far from every week, but still 6 more yachts than I'll ever own
>>738994989At this point I have to think you're just being purposefully dense. Valve isn't just giving kids access to gambling, they are systematically getting them hooked on gambling.This isn't limited to gambling either, ever notice how people are fucking fatter than 50 years ago? Do you think that's because people have suddenly gotten lazier, or has the food industry lined their pockets with all of the excess consumption?
>>738995204>it's the food industry's fault I eat like a pig>it's everyone else's fault
>>738995256No I eat normal whole foods and stay skinny but everyone else around me is fat as fuck. It's sickening to watch.
You guys do know that billionaires buy yachts just to have pedo parties with other billionaires?This is literally the only reason, Gaben is friends with democrats and works with SBI, he's 100% a pedo
>>738995204Is Valve giving your kids your credit card?Is Valve leaving your kids completely unattended at the computer? Is Valve turning a blind eye at their credit card being used?There are so many steps of straight up neglect you have to hurdle before you can even get that far, not to mention you can outright buy skins, sans gambling, for pennies....
>>738991721It's this. Mini-epstein island
>>738995293And why do you eat healthy while everyone else doesn't? If the food industry was so pervasive, you wouldn't be immune....
>>738995324He won't ever answer the basic question of "how are children getting the means to gamble on Steam?" because he knows it's a failure of parenting and not the company that VAC banned him in 2023.
>>738991357This god of a man deserves his own fleet of yatches, each one commanded by supermodels that will totally suck his enormous dick on a daily basis.
>>738991486You get some chicks on the yacht and you know the implications
>>738995416It doesn't work on yachts, needs to be a small speedboat. Too many places to hide on a yacht
>>738995361I'm not immune. Every time I go to a grocery store you can immediately smell them blasting their cooked food all over the store. It's literally a strategy they use to make people hungry. There's candy and baked goods lined up everywhere near the cash register. I have to consciously look at labels so I know I'm not buying garbage wrapped in a pretty label. I'm being punished for trying to stay a normal weight.
>>738995484>I'm not immuneSo you're a big huge fat fuck as well then?
>>738995324NTA but>kids today don't get cash allowance as most first world countries are mostly cash free, they have a debit card with money in it>parents can't control their kids 24/7, never been able to and never will be able to. It's even harder today when a kid can just walk 100m away from home to access all that shit>see aboveWhy the fuck would you even defend the single most Jewish thing in existence? Nearly every single first world country has laws against advertisement and gambling for kids, because kids are dumb and EASILY susceptible to shit like this. Valve's entire model consist of hooking kids to become gamblers.Like why would you defend this kind of behavior?
>>738995380Kids can gamble for free dude. They sell cases and buy keys with the money. Then they get hooked.
>>738995607>I give my kids a debit card and don't monitor their spending>ITS GABES FAULT MY KIDS ARE GAMBLINGThis is straight up unfucking real.....go to a fucking ATM and give your kid cash....monitor them, be present with them when they spend their money, no I'm not joking. This isnt hard.
>>738995654You new to verify marketplace transactions with 2FA, usually with the app, but let me guess, your kid also has a fucking cell phone that you don't monitor....
Sorry tim, tendies snoys and microdicks but valve just treats their customers better.
>>738995682>give your kid cashDid you even read what I wrote, most first world countries are basically cash free now. Your suggestion is literally putting kids under 24/7 surveillance which will only fuck them up, you can see this with any kid that have had a helicopter parent.Instead we should maybe you know prevent jews like Valve to do the single most predatory shit against kids?
im buying a pedal boat.A I too rich for the commie fags now?
blame parents for not parentingwhats next? blaming cars for running over little shits who can't look both ways before crossing the road?
>>738995742Yes, parents have to be careful not to let Valve exploit their children. Valve is evil.
>>738994797This is retarded. Every country subjects its citizens to its own laws, even when overseas.
>>738991357(V A L V )^eV = 5A = 1L = 50(5+1+50+1)^e = 71,290.169667397666They changed from one satanic logo to another. It was the red six spoked valve in the back of the head or in the left eye.
>>738995795>most first world countries are cash freeThat literally isn't true and ATMs exist in a supermajority if "first world countries". Further, YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF ALL OF YOUR CHILDS ACCOUNTS!
>>738995607It's your job to parent your shitty future jewslave hellspawn, not the government's. Can't do that? Then keep your dick in your pants.
>>738995795The MOST CASHLESS country still uses cash 1 of every 8 transactions
My kids both have steam decks and steam acconts.Parentl controls are easy to set up on steam! best parental controls ive ever seen honestly. If your kids can buy ANYTHING on steam your a fuck up as a parent. Take 5 mins max to set that shit up.
>>738995872>not the government'It's literally the governments job to prevent jews like Valve from predating on kids. Do you also think stuff like Stop Killing Games is bad?>>738995896>AIGOOD MORNING SAAR
>>738995532>as wellNo, but I'm sorry you're fat. I'm saying it's not completely your fault.
>>738995806Yes, your boat needs to be redistributed to a crackhead and some loser that hasn't been able to hold down a job
>>738995919>aiIs the information wrong? Does sweden not have ATMs? You're full of shit
Why is everyone suddenly attacking the only billionaire who hasn't tried to shit on his customers at every occasion?Like yeah billionaires bad, but why not start with the CEO of EA, or other shit games with terrible monetization practices that are more harmful to the industry? I'm not seeing threads about them daily.
>>738991357>I'm terrible parent and I can't control my kids.Internet darvinism at its finest, it wasn't a problem when the internet was dominated by the west.
>>738995149You can get all those things with GOG? You can get all those things with Epic Games? You can just download cracked games as fast and gain FPS for not having annoying DRM hogging your performance?I repeat my question. What did Gabe gift you? A gift implies a gesture of goodwill. I see none here. All I see is someone figuratively depleting Gabe's Zinc reserves, if you know what I mean.Just say "I'm a Valve cultist" so we can move on. It's not possible having a rational conversation with people who are part of a cult and will defend their leader at the cost of lucidity. "B-b-but you don't understand... the cult leader said to drink this deadly concoction because we're all "his children"... he doesn't want to hurt us... he's a good guy... that's why we love him!".Yeah... but no.
>>738995964I fucking live in Sweden, din jävla neger. And NOBODY here uses cash.Thanks for proving my point, judejävel.
>>738996025>who hasn't tried to shit on his customers at every occasion?You mean the one that made DRM the norm, making not owning your games a thing, introduced lootboxes to the west, inventor of the battlepass, the guy that works with Sweet Baby Inc and was woke before it was a thing?Is that the guy you're talking about?
>>738996031I can almost tell the shade of brown that this poster is.
>>738996042Careful with that word "Nobody", ATMs exist in swedenland swedecuck, the fact that you give your kids unmonitored debit cards and allow them to gamble and put themselves in debt isn't my problem, though it is very sad.
>>738996105Are you actually trying to argue about cash usage in a country I fucking live in, thinking you know more than me?You VaIvedrones are literally insane.
>>738996025Tims MARKETINGBLACKHOLEIs desperate
>>738996031Fuck epic.Fuckin anti customer fuckers. And fuck exclusives. Valve makes all the money in the world and you can still buy portal on a fuckin switch.
>>738991507Parents don't see it as gambling, they think it's like collecting an album or buying a handful of macdonalds
>>738996161I'm saying that A. Sweden has cash even if it tries to be cashless and B. You as the parent of your child are responsible for any and all financial accounts they hold including but not limited to the transactions they engage in
>>738995850I don't understand this. Explain those numbers.
>>738996092>You mean the one that made DRM the normYeah cause Games For Windows Live and Sony and Xbox weren't around doing the same shit. I can play literally every single game I bought from Steam even when my internet is down, that's good enough for me. Meanwhile there's consoles that revoke your game access if you don't log in for 30 days. Go fuck yourself, you're too retarded to realize just how much worse things could have been if someone else was in charge of Steam. (But rejoice you might see it in your lifetime.)
>>738994652I doubt his life is devoid of meaning, he's basically at the peak. He created a massively successful company and a couple thousand people rely on him, he has more money than you'd ever need and he spends his time on weird eccentric stuff like building an ultra deep sea submarine. I'd imagine his life is pretty fulfilling. Try working a shitty job you hate for bad money, now that's devoid of meaning, the jobs bad and you can't afford to do anything you want.
>>738996285>Yeah cause Games For Windows Live and Sony and Xbox weren't around doing the same shit.Everyone hated that and got endless amount of shit for having it.Meanwhile you WORSHIP a kike for doing the same thing>uhmm other guy fucked some people in the ass so it's a good thing this new guy fucks EVERYONE in the ass!
>>738996105NTA but another Swede here: it is indeed true that we pretty much never use cash. I can't remember the last time I even had the option. Like if I drive by some farmer having a local flea market I can't use cash there. If there's a small, rural cafe somewhere in the middle of nowhere I can't use cash there either. I think most people use "Swish", an app that you connect to your bank and transfer money instantly just by having someone's phone number, or regular cards. Personally I think it's all pretty fucked up, but I can't deny that it's convenient (when it works)
>>738992034>billionaire buys up all the landWhere have I heard this one before...
>>738992702lmao pseud
>>738996291Okay gabe slave #292373, no need to get defensive for your master.
>>738996359Look, I'll even concede, hell, I'll go overboard. Let's entertain the thought that Sweden has 0 cash at all ever. Let's entertain that you give your kid a stipend to a now digital wallet. Let's entertain that they've made themselves a steam account which they claim they are 18 and are therefore able to make market transactions.Do Swedes not monitor what their kids spend money on? At all? Do Swedes not have access to their kids digital wallet accounts? Do Swedes not keep tabs on what their kids are doing?
>>738996543>Do Swedes not monitor what their kids spend money on?In what world are you living in where parents have 100% control and overview over their kids? Your entire argument is disingenuous and you know it
>>738996631>WHAT WORLD!?!?this one?
>>738992034>not all billionaires buy yatchsIt's cool that Sweeney works to preserve forests and all that, but it's pathetic how he feels the need to compare everything he does to Gaben just to present himself as the "cool guy".He doesn't seem able to acknowledge what Gaben has done with ocean research, which is really impressive, and instead of simply being BOTH COOL GUYS, he has to be a fucking child and act like Gaben is an evil yatchs collector.And Gaben probably won't go around promoting his link with Inkfish etc, because some large companies do this thing about not "bragging" about their donations or initiatives, so it's just Sweeney talking shit because the big guy will never say anything on the topic
>>738996765>He doesn't seem able to acknowledge what Gaben has done with ocean research, which is really impressiveWhat has he done?
>>738994427I don't know why you're trying to argue this point; gambling is unanimously banned in children's games now for the exact reasons that anon who is arguing with you is presenting. You're playing devil's advocate for no reason. Your position has already been defended and defeated by people much, much smarter than you.
>>738996814My position hasn't been defeated. Watch your kids.....
>pedos should be able to rape kids>its the parents fault for not knowing what their kids are doing!
>>738996765I don't trust Sweeney to not sell that forest land to the Chinese
>euros are seriously using the niggers defense of "how am I supposed to know what my keeds is doin"
>>738997181>we should jews manipulate and predate on kids because.... parents should control them 24/7!
>>738996338>Meanwhile you WORSHIP a kike for doing the same thingBecause it's not exactly the same thing you cretin. You need internet exactly at 1 point, to buy the game and download it. After that you're free to play whenever, Steam has the weakest DRM imaginable because Gabe's policy is not to "fuck the customers over in an attempt to deter the pirates" (which everyone else did) but to provide a better service than them. NOT only that, but the whole "needing an internet connection" thing wasn't even pioneered by Gabe, it was a reflection of the times as increased internet speed and ease of getting an connection actually made it possible. Amazon, Crunchyroll, Netflix, food delivery, book delivery, movies, literally every service imaginable boarded that ship. Steam wasn't even great from day 1 and I certainly didn't enjoy the idea of needing internet to install my games at first, but they earned my trust with good customer friendly practices and steady improvements over 15 years while everyone else was selling out and fucking me over at every corner. Is Steam perfect? No. It can always be better, but it's a skyscraper worth of difference between them and even the "next best thing", which is why all this seethe about Steam feels dishonest at best and naively retarded at worst.I said my piece and I'll leave it at that, keep crying about the only decent service while other corporations fuck you in the ass, I don't care anymore.
>>738997246>Because it's not exactly the same thing you cretinYeah Steam is even worse
>>738997234>we should ban bridges since my kids like to suck cock for crack under them all the time
>>738997246>an connection>>738997292>post made after 30 secondsYeah I'm arguing with a bot who doesn't even bother reading or thinking before responding to a post. I don't know why I even waste my time making long posts in this shithole today. I'll just call people faggots and move on.
>>738997351A better analogy would be>we should remove all safety standards, railing and have the bridge being half broken because its up to the parents to make sure the kids don't fall down from it!
>>738997460Better yet let's just make it illegal for kids to gamble....oh rightWe should lock away gambling to 18+ accounts....oh rightWe should give parents parental controls on steam....oh right
So to the guy saying that gambling for kids is good, do you also think stop killing games is a bad thing?Yes or no
>>738996031I'm not stealing, because I'm white. Now show me your fastest downloads on GOG and Epic. Show me family sharing on GOG and Epic. Show me Pragmata on GOG and Epic.
There's probably 10 people participating in this thread, and I'd be willing to bet none have kids. So...why do I care about kids again?
>>738997572He doesn't believe in anything except trying to "win" arguments online. For him, he'll have won if he is the last post in this thread. He will be here for hours to make sure that happens. This is the mental illness aspect of 4chan.
>>738997782I have 2 children, and I monitor all device usage with parental control apps, not one device in my house has a credit card saved to it
>>738997849Considering how he refuses to answer the post, it seems you're right.
>>738993583He literally doesn't, although he did buy the company. He did so during the design process, with rumor being because he was impressed with team, but not with management that wouldn't cater to his requests.
>>738997572>>738997892Noone in this thread said kids gambling is good. The argument from you retards is that monitoring your child's online activity is a "breach in privacy" and "unrealistic"
>>738997387No one cares about your trash AI written text. I know exactly what you're gonna say from the first letter of your trash post. You're just defending Valve the same way a domestic abuse woman defends her violent boyfriend when the police comes at the door. You can see their puffed up face/black eye and they'll be like "noooo nooooo don't arrest him.. he d-did beat me... b-but he said the words "I love you" afterwards, so I know he cares about me!!".The same psychological phenomenon is at play here. You'll be dead long before you ever admit your abuser (Valve) did anything wrong. And this transpires through every single one of your irrational post. You're so predictive.
>>738997869Cool. I bet you're glad everyone else is being exploited so your family can get ahead.
>>738998028I'm not sure how my family benefits from your outright refusal to parent your children. If anything it makes my job more difficult as I have to teach my kids about what your bad kids are doing and how that's bad
>>738998095How about you take it a step further and educate them about what Valve is doing and how that's bad?
>>738998095Can you answer this? >>738997572Yes or no
>>738998028>be me>deal with my own problems>happyor>be you>choose to worry about everyone else>miserable>must ragepost to 4chan all day
>>738998161>be me>suck off valve>get exploited>but I enjoy my gambling addiction so I'm happy
>>738998149Straw an argument, I never said kid gambling is good, it's illegal and parents need to watch their kids. >>738998146About how you have to be 18 to crate gamble and your bad kids skirt around those rules and regulations and you're a bad parent who doesnt know what his kids are doing?
>>738998220Yes or no, why do you refuse to answer?
>>738998209>my gambling addictionI've never played a game with lootboxes because I'm not a poor third worlder. Please try to keep up.Now, with that out of the way, how am I being exploited? By having good games delivered to me in minutes? By being able to legally share said games?
>>738998248Because I refuse to play your game that presupposes I think kids gambling is good. Rephrase your question to accurately reflect that I don't condone kids gambling otherwise you're talking to someone else
>>738998332Yes or no, how hard can it be to answer?
>>738998367Well you're addressing someone who thinks kids gambling is good, which isnt me, to answer your yes or no would be to accept that I am someone who condones kids gambling, I don't so either you're mischaracterizing me on purpose or talking to someone else
>>738997658GOG gives you the option to download offline installers and share it with your family. No one forces you to steal. You can make a donation directly to the devs if you want, then pirate the game. I don't care you have shit internet in Mumbai, but you can torrent the games quickly and pirated games are often repacked for third-worlders like you so you download a downsized file. Again, same story for Pragmata. Send your money to Capcom and pirate it DRM free. I'm glad GOG and Epic don't sell that pedo game tho. Lastly, you're definitely not white.Anything else?
>>738998320So I'm right, you don't care about other people because them suffering is what gets you ahead. In fact, you revile them. Thanks for clearing that up.
>>738991357Why do richfags like boats so much, is it just to get away from all the poor people who are landlocked?I hate the ocean. If I was ultrawealthy I'd buy a mountain or twenty and then just build my castle there to escape the plebs.

>>738998587How am I dishonest? You just insulted people for getting exploited by Valve. Maybe you're the one who is not being honest with yourself.
>>738998587>eurothis guy is from pakistan or something
>>738998638Because you have to be 18 to use the steam marketplace to buy keys.
>>738991357honestly I wish iran would just start drone killing our billionaires on the open seas in revenge for all of their leaders and scientists we've assasinated
>>738998527>is it just to get away from all the poor people who are landlocked?Maybe. Also I guess when you're that rich you kind of run out of things to spend money on. I'm not interested in boats or whatever, but who knows, if I literally had more money than I knew what do with maybe I'd buy a boat to fuck off on as well.I think I read that Gaben has some sort of ocean research ships (or a company?) too so in his case maybe he does have a legitimate interest in the sea as well.
>>738998464>GOG gives you the option to download offline installers and share it with your familyThat's a lie.>Your GOG account and GOG content are personal to you and cannot be shared with, sold, gifted or transferred to anyone else. >>738998464>but you can torrent the games quicklyI'm not stealing because I'm white.>Send your money to Capcom and pirate it DRM free. I'm not stealing because I'm white.>Lastly, you're definitely not white.I'm white. I don't live in non-American countries.>Anything else?You've shown your willingness to steal, proving you're brown.

System outside of Steam so the real ID won't be tied to your Steam account.Do ANYTHING to give back to the "community" other than buying stuff for Valve/Gaben itself/himself.

>>738999340I would, if God punished sinners. Not really a fan of the illusory eternal hell concept.
>>738995607Literally just don't give your kid money to spend online, it's that simple, they shouldn't be able to make online purchases without you. It's really not that hard to be involved in your childs life, the government clearly can only do so much when every corporation immediately pivots into loot boxes or other bullshit that can get past the legal loopholes of selling gambling to kids, it's not just valve that does this, every company is trying to steal money from children. It's nothing new and I wish you'd go somewhere that wasn't 4chan to advocate for this because here you are just shitposting.
>>738999394It's amazing how quickly your "evolutionarily predisposed" midwit babble evaporates when you link up with the Creator

>>738999607I don't get people who want Steam to die when there's literally no alternatives.

>>738999758There's literally no alternative.
>>738999797>>738999804Yes I do, what games do I need Steam to play? Last time I "needed" steam was playing Dota 2 10years ago.

>>738999887Nobody has made an alternative, 23 years later. It's still the only viable solution.>>738999915Say no to playing games? Why even post here if you don't play games?
I can't believe no one connects the dots and understands why Gabe has a fleet of ships for "deep sea research". Gabe has always and only thought about money. When he founded Valve it was because DOOM was more installed than Windows, and he understood that he could make billions with video games. "Research" is just an excuse to be on the front lines when they start mining the seabed for rare metals.
>>738998832Damn, you're right. All those movie nights spent watching DVDs were THEFT because as the sole owner of the DVD I shouldn't have watched them with my family. We should have all purchased a copy before watching.I'll take note of that when a girl asks me to come "Netflix and chill". I'll just tell her I can't watch anything with her because her Netflix account's content shouldn't be shared.
>>738999915Say no to all games because they all have some form of DRM? Yeah, I agree.
>>738999951>you don't play games, you just stated it with the last postI play on PC all the time, what the fuck are you trying to imply?Most steam games are shitty f2p games, and those don't interest me.
>>739000016No, you clearly don't play games and are just shitposting with terrible arguments that are factually wrong.
>>739000016So you don't play games. Check.>>738999997>Netflix>in 2026You must not be American.
>>738999951>yet not ONE SINGLE COMPANY HAS MADE A PROPER COMPETITORmaybe no one wants to because Steam is a monopoly and a ton of crazy fanatics who would even buy their overpriced garbage?
>>739000089So you're legitimately insane?
>>738991486They like looking at it. Anyway it's four dollars a key.
>>739000078>>739000074What games do I HAVE to use steam to play that's so good? pleas enlighten me.Right now I'm playing a few MMORPGs which non requires steam, I play Path of Exile 2 now and then that doesn't require steam. last AAA game I bought was BG3 on gog I think.So please tell me again, what games am I missing by not using steam?
>>739000163Yes, I love Valve no matter how badly they screw me over.
>>739000089they can't compete with steam because they don't want to dump hundreds of thousands in money for the hours needed to create said platformthey want to create the shittiest alternative with 0 features and expect it to overtake steam somehow
>>739000175>PoEjeetFUCKING HAIRY POTTERY
>>739000217What are some of the stellar games that I NEED to use steam for? Why are you avoiding my question?
>>739000175I'm afraid to say you are retarded and using DRM platforms while saying you aren't. I expected as much, this is why I didn't ask what games you played because I already knew.
>>739000187how have you been screwed over (past tense)?

>>738999956We know he's greedy. Also, the whole "research" thing is also for tax evasion. He pobably gets government funds because his yacht is not for leisure but for "research". Also, research vessels probably have better laws and fees when parked in shores. I wouldn't be surprised if he's mapping mineral/oil deposit data to sell to companies. Anyone thinking he's actually "doing research" as in advancing science is literally retarded.
>>739000260Every game ever. There.
>>738994598>Every decision made by Valve has made gaming better for me.How does Gabe taking all the money he made on gaming and funneling it into Yachts make gaming better for you?
>>739000378I don't need to, you're argument in the first place wasn't about Steam, that was some other person, I responded to you originally about DRM platforms, which you still use, despite mocking others for using them.
>>738994598>working with Sweet Baby Inc and giving them money has made gaming better for me>Valve donating money to democrats has made gaming better for me>invention of battlepasses has made gaming better for me>hiring and funding pro BLM devs have made gaming better for me
>>739000653Yes you have, your entire argument was that I can't be a PC gamer because I don't use Steam. Yet you are unable to mention even a single good game that requires me to use Steam.Still waiting for you to answer me.
>>739000724Get help, you use DRM platforms while saying you don't, I don't care about what ever else you are going on about.
>>739000667What does this have to do with Pragmata being exclusive? Only slavs care about Valve first party games.
>>739000846Not reading that, name some games

>>739001553None of that affects me, because I'm white and don't play Valve first party titles.
>>739001540so you're never having kids, huh?

I refuse to use Steam because I refuse to support devs that work with Sweet Baby Inc™

>>738991662>Money sink. When you have a ton of money and you have nothing to do, a yacht is a great luxury item because there are constant repairs, maintenance, upgrades, etc. It literally gives you something to do.You know what I would do if I were rich with nothing to do? I'd build houses, roads, shops, an artificial lake, a fucking waterfall, grand statues and castles just because it looks cool. I'd make an entire medieval city where people can live 365 days a year because it's fun. It's something to do, it costs money and constant upkeep. On the upside the people will suck your dick for the next 500 years if you do especially if you subsidize the costs and make everything cheap.
>>739001890>Adeno ChromeWhat does a William Gibson book have to do with this?
739001763Very low effort troll.
>>739001635Why would I want to have kids? Especially kids to be born in accelerating dystopian cyberpunk hellhole. I'm not a woman. Adults shouldn't interact with retarded kids but because of how internet works I'm forced to interact and tolerate with those subhumans even on 4chan. And my hobbies (end even RL shit) are constantly oppressed because of THINK ABOUT INNOCENT KIDDERINOS!!!!!! dogshit. When those subhuman kids are one of the cruelest creatures on the planet. Parents should take 200% responsibilities for every action of their subhumans.
>>739001851I'm laughing because your desperate attempts at proving you're totally white do anything but

>>739002331>keeps posting this lieWhy can't you ever be honest?
>>739002323I explained pretty logical position of why I don't want to have kids. Is this already too complex for subhuman born after 9/11 to understand? It's worth nothing to make kids, zoom-zoom. At any moment of time I can find fat ugly behemoth and breed 10 kids EZ with her.
>>739002331Hey, faggot. Why are you lying? I asked you a question.

>>739002012>accelerating dystopian cyberpunk hellholethe amish live just fineyou're coping bro
739002084The annoyance is the fact I have to waste time to log in. Not that I'm scared to lose shit, which is why 2FA is disabled yet still asks me for verification. I stopped using this trash DRM software when I got a +17 FPS gain on the cracked version of Steam games I owned.
>>739002550>can't read or responding to the wrong personI guess that's the same thing when you're a non-American and therefore a non-human.
>>739002684I only have to 2FA when I log into a new computer, I don't know why you're supposedly unable to store your accounts information or anything else when I can do it very easily and switch it back and forth easily as well. You're clearly doing something wrong or are retarded and don't understand what you're seeing.

>>739002684You know you can turn off steam overlay without cracking the game right? That's the part that kills game performance and is quite common with AMD cards.

>>739002685>more nonsenseI know you just want to """offend""" me because I hurt your feelings but there is nothing wrong with what I said. I assume you're ~20 years old (because there is no reason to be (You)ing me case everything I said was right and just). Do you interact with 10 years olds? No. Do you want to interact with 10 years olds of course not. Unless you're loser in search of validation or pedophile. Same for boomers. We don't want to interact with your kinds. It wasn't a problem back then but it is now.Btw "pseuds" is term for "pseudointellectual" here on 4chan.
>>739002239Bro, you came into a thread to cry about people defending children and then posted a wall of text about why you dislike children and why you refuse to have them.Sounds awfully a lot like cope.
739002817Store what information? In the past, I've never been asked to provide any verification code. Now, they ask me every so often. I know all my credentials, but I am annoyed that I have to prove my identity that often, when I'm using the same computer on the same network.

>>739003681oh so you're autistic then?gotcha
>>739003125I think I'll just "click download" once to pirate a game and enjoy it. Instead of logging in Steam, waiting for some useless updates I never asked for (CS2 15gb of new skins), having to manually disable the overlay to gain performance, having to make sure I don't leave the Home Page open because it's full of animated ads and like 3-4 livestreams going on at the same time without me clicking anything, etc.Too much hassle. And Gabe said it himself, if you want to stop piracy, you need to offer a better service. Well, as things stand, piracy is more convenient.

Gaben is so strong every VN dev dreams to publish their VN on steam because even though they have own stores, steam boost sales in giant numbers.

>>739004683There is no other store. Steam is a monopoly. It's why they're able to get away with shit like claiming you don't own your games.

>>739005905>fake pictureI posted information from my own profile which confirms that I do, indeed, own the games. GOG, on the other hand, was forced to admit that they rented licenses, which shows just how shady they are.>>739005905>Has even happened in the pastWith?

I was misinformed and I made a really stupid decision. If you are angry, your anger is justified. I won't ask you to take down your negative reviews or angry messages. It's my fault, so I won't blame anyone for getting angry at me.Also, in regard to Bundle Stars, they have paid me. This whole thing has nothing to do with them, and it was all a mistake on my end.

I have the first game I ever purchased on Steam still, and it's delisted.>>739006598I think the "no" is from the original message by the dev.
>>739006474see >>739006456The devs himself said that he was fully paid by Humble and that he just removed the games from accounts because he was probably drunk or something.And this 100% proves my original point, that devs can WHENEVER they want just remove games on your account.You posters claimed it never happened and now I posted proof it did.>>739006648>Let me make this clear, this is my fault and my fault aloneAre you actually retarded or pretending right now?

>>739006724>You posters claimed it never happened and now I posted proof it did.You posted an example from a sketchy key selling site which proves you have no ground to stand on.
>>739006750There's more to it, being that everyone already deals with Steam and doesn't want to split libraries, but that's still not Valve's fault.

>>739006826thats really more just of a consequence of ignoring the PC market for 20 years. titanfall 2 is the only game i have on EAs launcher and when you step out of steam to play something else you really do realize how much worse the other options are. Every year or two when i decide to redownload it for a bit its amazing how much friction there is to getting to playing a game.
>>739007220all from illegal key sites.
>>739007232I hate when I launch MELE or Madden, the EA shit has to launch first.
Two more weeksAll your keys will be removed from steam in two more weeks Steam will fall
>>739007270Buying licenses from steam itself is illegal?
>>739006750It's a bad example. People use Steam out of habit. It was the first big store for non-physical games. People already had hundreds of games in their libraries when competition like GOG/Epic/Ubishit/Origin appeared. At that point it was already over. No matter the quality of your new Launchers, people would never give up their Steam libraries.Even if Steam became the worst launcher tomorrow, all these idiots with big Steam libraries would stick with it because all their games are there. Valve holds them by the balls, essentially.

>>739007372But we'll never know, because nobody seems to want to even TRY to compete. Every other attempt has been godawful. Battle.net is the only launcher even close in quality, and they really only sell their own games.

>>739007372But steam is the best store by far.
>>739007490>NO DEV CAN JUST REMOVE GAMES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT (ok they can be it's ok when they do because XXX)Well they can't. He never removed anything. You just keep saying it but he never said >"I removed all keys"

>>739007372Steam is the best because theres literally no competition nigga, GoG has a worse catalog and a shitty launcher and epic sucks so bad its not even worth playing fortnite
>>739007578>your games got removed from all your accounts>it was 100% my fault>I caused all the problemsStop being disingenuous, you are not fooling anyone. What is the point of doing this? Do you get paid at least?
>>739007490Dev's can't remove games from your account. Once a key is activated, it is activated. Valve can however, but they don't. At least none of my 1100 grey market keys on my account have ever been revoked. Developers CAN request that a key they generated be disabled. As in the key will no longer be usable to activate on an account. But once the key is redeemed via Steam activation the developer can't do anything. If you have a key generated by the dev and you haven't activated it yet, then yeah they can disable it.
>>739007490Moral of the story: don't buy from Brazil key sites because they might buy your key with stolen money.
>>739007698Nice headcanon there anon, too bad I posted proof that shows otherwise.

>>739007813all those people still have the game though
>>739007372sure but people would be more willing to hop to a new ship. Outside of just being a launcher steam has a lot more to interact with. mainly for me, mods and forums. EGS still doesnt have a proper review system and just the fact that they try to make games exclusive to there is enough for me to spit at their feet because its the complete antithesis of what PC is all about and tim is a complete cancer on PC gaming. It would take basically completely lobotomizing the entire platform for steam to become worse than any other launcher out there.
>>739007681He never said that he removed keys. This is the fact.>it was 100% my faultHe never said what he did. Fault = can be anything >I caused all the problemsHe never said any details.
