Billionaire Oligarchs are not your friends. They are your enemies.Steam needs accountability and direction, and that can only happen if it is publicly traded. The platform has no future under Gabe Newell's stranglehold.
>agitprop>>>/trash/
yeah gabe has clearly lost the magic touch
>>739842691
But Steam doing nothing is what I want. Companies trying to do things to get more and more profit every year what makes them eventually unlikeable.
>>739842691>Billionaire Oligarchs are not your friendsTrue.>publicly tradedLMFAO
>>739842691Why are you pretending to be a jew?
Nigga the paid anti-valve shills are already busting out their AI generated propaganda
>>739842691Extremely bait but I just wanted to say delete the global stock market and lynch investors because they ass raped the economic system to oppress the youth.
>private goodWhat if I told you majority of public stuff is owned by private entities? So it's basically Valve corporation but with extra step for public companies. Literally two sides of the same jewish coin.
the only reason valve isn't completely evil is that it is private
>>739842691jewish shit trying take down steam because the lawsuit failed to do so
>>739843660All evil is privateEven public crap is majorly owned by private corpos
>>739843825Publicly traded companies allow regular citizens to get rich when companies do well. It is part of socializing gains. Private companies are what help socialize losses, such as the 30% charge Valve forces all developers to pay.
>>739842691my only thing with valve is that u dont own ur games and they dont support win 7 and 8 anymorethat and early acess mtx etcthe steam deck price increase is fucktard teir thoid say i like some of what they do and some of i i dont like vs sony kiketendo ms etc being unusable loli wouldve bought a steam deck at 320 but my faggot federal agent aquantices are currently trying to torment me to get me dragged off to a psych ward again so they can get all of the inheritence so mehso annoying want to buy a steam deck and not being able to get it cus the feds wont stop lawfaring mei watch people live la vida loca while i get nothing lolGod is a turbo kike and not omnipotent there is no omnipotencethis false universe is a prison for people like me and a child rape dungeon party tm for the wickedits such a joke lolno matter how much people like me resist these fucking kikes just take hostages or lawfare to buy more time to do cocaine and rape kids its pathetic
>>739842691Don't care, still using Steam. Fuck off, Tim. You're not my friend either.
>>739842691Billionaire bankers want gamers to attack Gaben for not selling out
>>739842691the stock market should be abolished entirely and every stock broker and hedge fund manager strung up from a tree
>>739843825All is private.What you call public in fact has belonged to unaccountable and unelected families like the Rothschilds through their hermetic stranglehold on blackmail-based spheres of power (see Epstein,pizzagate etc) and by extension, the monopoly on violence.Double digit IQs are content believing elections for their clown jesters actually matter.
>>739844157Indeed, Add in all the jews and arabs too just to make sure.
>>739842691I like how that doesn't even cover all of the damage they've done to the industry as a wholeThey gotta fucking go
>>739842691Rothschilds are so buttbroken, they think they can manipulate gamers into hating their enemies with leftist marketing.
>>739842691Your shitposting image is actually somewhat reasonable, then you go full retard saying they need to be publicly traded.
>>739842691The image you're using in the OP is parody right? Its hard to tell these days.
Make a better platform then
>>739844123they just want them to censor steam forums and dont like linux lol
>>739842691Good morning sir.
>>739844435Epic Games Store, Origin, and Uplay all exist. Nobody is forcing you to use Steam, except for Valve's monopolistic practices.
>>739842691>and that can only happen if it is publicly tradedThis is a jeet shill who was paid by blockrock so when it becomes publicly traded they can force in even more woke shit. It's why they keep trying to sue valve in the first place.
>>739844407>refunds and consumer reviews are bad actually>you like exclusives, right??I'm fairly sure it is.
>>739844186i like how obvious it is that God and his evil elect are so fucking eviland normies and christcucks just think that complying equals good
>>739844513>Valve is a monopoly>That you aren't forced to use?
>>739842691GayBen is my friend actually
>>739844342>they think they can manipulate gamers into hating their enemies with leftist marketing.It's worked every single time beforehand. And when it does fail they just say it was a right wing thing and people still fall for it despite supporting it just 10 minutes ago
>>739844513Those are all actively worse than Steam. I stopped playing Ubisoft games entirely because of how dogshit Uplay is.
>Private company (as opposed to publicly traded) that aggressively resists enshittification because they have a culture of ideals that are the cornerstone of their stellar reputationThe only kind of good monopoly
>>739842691ok rajesh
>>739844513Valve is somehow the bad guy because their competitors are retarded LOL
>>739842691But I want Gaben to have a megayacht.>Makes the most user friendly storefront and games library>Using the free market, forces rivals and even Microsoft to submit to his better service/product>Discussion and social areas of the service are some of the least regulated, allowing for more free speech even if its at the small cost of more trolling and shitposting.>According to OP this means he's anti-player?Take your terrible bait and go beg for more Tencent money, Sweeney.
>>739844631Nice try.Now if you'll excuse me I have some missions I'd like to play in Starsector, boughted through DMT.
>>739842691>refunds and reviews bad>muh exclusivity cancer>they should be publicly tradedConsolefags, not even once. May as well try to slip in how paid online is a pro consumer move they should have implemented decades ago.
Why do ya'll even enter these threads?
>>739842691>Rothschild's dedicated anti-Steam false flag threadKILL YOURSELF
>>739845075Boredom.
>>739842691The alternative is 50 launchers with varying quality/functionality.Listen, fuck gabe and his shit ass yachts, but as an average vidya player, steam's good for me. All my games are in one place, all the functionality I need is there. Idgaf
>>739844528If this shit mattered to Blackrock and wasnt just a retard baiting they'd just have Mossad assassinate Gabe.
Shareholders turned what is supposed to be a simple thing (I invest x amount of my capital into your idea because I think it is good and want to see it succeed, I just expect some return on my investment) into a nightmare (I invested x amount of my capital into you because I expect a massive return, it isn't returning in the first few quarters, time to restructure everything).Private Equity firms are the worst examples of this, using money borrowed from their other assets to fund assets to pay off loans those assets were used to pay for other assets. It's a massive fucking scam cycle that the banks are more than happy to be a part of.
>>739842691t.

>>739842691>by doing nothingOh so the servers are free now?
>>739843162They did something, raise the price of their products. By law we must be angry now.
Imagine paying valve $950 for thisthis game is officially deck verified btw
>>739843286Says the cultist who believes in the skinny Ai photo of Gabe, shut up.
Timmy is really paying bots to post AIslop here and thinks it'll convince me to go to his AI and cryptoslop filled store.

>>739847085actually they do help
>>739847163Nobody remembers it because dota is a dead game. They even had a TI event where the pros played against AI and would be rewarded if they could win. Gaben was on the AI wagon way early.
Steam makes it really fucking easy to pirate and I have no interest in rocking that boat.
>>739847214this meme doesn't work here because the exact same grifters who were crying about nintendo's $50 increase in social media are now defending valve's $300 increase
>>739847163surely gabe was putting millions of dollars on bots for a dead game and nothing else
>>739845797You voted for this btw

What a retarded thread, kys OP
>>739842691buy an ad timmy
>>739842691This kind of thing always falls flat because no one gives a serious shit about GabeN or Valve.It's entirely and sorely about convenience and longevity.This image seeks to appeal to emotions and fanboyism, which misses the mark when it comes to why people use Steam.You fundamentally don't understand it, Timmy. All you have is the money (you scammed off the parents of toddlers) to burn, but you will never get it.
I don't want YOU to get money
Why are faggots and trannies and browns and poors so anti-valve lately?
>>739847681They are easily swayed by propaganda due to their smol brains
>>739847240Do you realize how much food is produced in the USA? The bulk of our meat, milk, and eggs is all produced here. When I was throwing boxes at a chicken plant, I did 13 tons of dark meat a shift on one of 3 scales in a relatively small plant. That's not counting whole chickens and white meat.

>>739842691You do know that Valve hired a ton of open source developers like Collabora, Codeweavers and the VKD3D-Proton & DXVK devs, right?Also most of the AMD driver developers for Mesa are paid by Valve.What a shitty bait. Try harder next time, Timmy
>use tranny as an insult>defend a company promoting trannies

>>739842691Benevolent dictatorship is superior to the will of the masses.
>>739848075The overwhelming majority of the PC gaming market (Steam's target audience) don't give a shit about handhelds, the userbase is not going to be impacted at all even if they were selling it at $2000As long as their core services are still intact, nobody cares if they want to fuck around with this shit
Watching good goys suck gaben's dick has lost whatever small amusement it once held.
>>739847973Pretty much. Nobody even tries.
>>739842691gaben really pissed (((them))) off huh
>>739848268>I'm not a goyWhy do you people think this helps your argument?
I can tell almost immediately that Epic funded this purely because it still mentions the 30% cut
>>739842691Point 1, 4, and 5 is a good thing though
>They allow low quality games and sometimes malware on their store front.Agreed, they still let Activision sell all the hacker, malware and RCE/RAT call of duty games AT FULL PRICE.
>>739842691You've failed to make an argument as to why I should give fuck about any of that.

They've done perfectly fine by me most of the time and a far better track record with me than the overwhelming majority of publicly traded companies do. I'd prefer to keep them private, thanks.
>>739849823Leftists attacking privately owned business to serve the needs of woke corporations and billionaire bankers? Yes that's been the norm the past 100 years
I've noticed since Valve won in court against kikes theres been a huge uptick in shills saying valve is a monopoly or other retarded shit
30% is industry standard for an online storefront, I keep seeing Timmy Tencent's shills bring this up like it's so bad yet Google does it, Apple does it, Microsoft does it, Sony does it. Valve should take a lower cut... because they just should okay???>does nothingBesides operate and maintain Steam? This is how I know this shit is made by Sweeny's shill army, because only Sweeny's shills continuously pretend like Gabe found Steam, fully formed, somewhere in the wilderness then stole it for himself. Like he and his company did not build it at a time when Sweeny was abandoning the PC market for consoles.It's pure envy on his part
>>739849954such as?

>>739842691Fucking this. We need to let Microsoft take over Valve immediately. Why isn't the government doing anything?
>>739850126This anon gets it
>>739849823It would usurp control of Steam away from Gabe and allow activist investors to undermine the company's core values, and more importantly, transform steam into a vehicle for Blackrock's propaganda.

Steam is just a DRM middlemanI don't have an opinion, who cares. It's like getting angry one way or another over the Google playstore
Happy to chip in gabe, here's to another yacht
>>739850349>Fuck you, I got mineThats great Sweaty
>>739850383>Steam is just a DRM middlemanYou probably thought this sounded insightful and pithy, but it's basically nonsense and makes you look like a retard for using words you don't understand.
>>739849171Pretty sure that was just scalpers. Steam Deck currently can't even sell out anymore, it's over. They killed the Steam Machine and they killed the Steam Deck 2. Everyone will just get a Switch 2 and PS6 handheld now. PC gaming is simply too volatile.
>>739850416it really is. enjoy the weekend because it's back to the cage for you on Monday
Yeah, Valve is the worst company, except all the others.Feel free to run your laughable smear campaign, but you're really gonna need to put in some legwork to make Valve look half as rancid as its competitors. (talking the real big boys, not stuff like GoG, which is cool). I absolutely don't care how many yachts that fat fuck buys. He provides a better service. If you want me to be mad at him just because he has money, there are people a LOT more rich than Gaben.
>>739847414No anon, you are the retard.You are a ESL brownie who can only communicate through memes and you picked the wrong one.Suicide is the only way to atone for your mistakes, and you know that.
>>739850349Yeah until people get sick of it and the economy crashes
>>739850562Couldn't have said it better myself.
>>739850210We're attacking Valve because it's an unregulated monopoly that does not adhere to the responsibilities expected of megacorporations. Why is this so hard for rightoids to understand?
>>739850492Bodied that wagie freak.

>>739850738GIWTWM
>>739843286Pretty muchAnd they're going hard
>>7398426911) You are not entitled to anyone's money, even corporations. 2) They take a cut for using their platform, because it results in the greatest amount of exposure for your product. You're not obligated to use it.3) So you advocate for a walled garden? KYS. Caveat emptor. You can get a refund as you said yourself.4) So? How is this an issue?5) As sponsored by Valve, yeah. Most open-source stuff is commercially developed, you know that right?
>>739842691>billionaire oligarchs telling you billionaire oligarchs aren't your friends so you should use worse services because they can't break into the market otherwiseuh huh
>>739850708How is it a monopoly? It's regulated as much as any other private companyWhy do you only attack private companies and never the corporations or hedgefunds like Blackrock

>>739850935Tim Sweeny is my friend. He gives me free games. Does Gabe ever give you free games?
>>739850562PC companies, in general, suck ass including Microsoft. I'm shitting on Valve now because before the price hiking, they felt like the only beacon of hope for PC gaming, now those hopes were dashed. They can fuck off with the rest.
So do the anti-Valve anons even have a point or are you just here to bait people and be upset at a company?
>>739851004God yes gayben, fuck those consolefags, fuck them!
>>739850939>It's regulated as much as any other private companyOh, no. No no no. It really isn't. Do you just pretend to be ignorant?>Why do you only attack private companies and never the corporations or hedgefunds like BlackrockHedge funds like BlackRock are already heavily regulated and have taken tangible steps toward fulfilling their social obligations. Not perfect, but at least they're moving in the right direction. Also, BlackRock isn't a monopoly. Maybe look up the definition before you make dumb accusations.
>>739851042Can the steam deck be considered PC gaming? The only thing PC about it is that it runs on Linux and you can change that if you wanna.
>>739850738Leftists love billionaire oligarchs, they dont like private billionaires that mind their own businessElon Musk using his money to go to space? BadGeorge Soros using his money to push woke culture? GoodGaben using his money to manage Steam? BadBill Gates using his money to support globohomo? Good
>>739850126>If Steam becomes worse, Gamers will lose something they like>Therefore, I want Steam to become publicly tradedI'm a leftist but this is objectively true. Reminds me of the "Valve is extremely white and extremely male" youtuber (People Make Games) who accidentally said the quiet part out loud when whining about Valve not donating to the BLM grift when all the other corporations were doing so.Valve instead choose to give each employee 10.000 USD and let them to spend it on whatever charity they wanted, or just outright keep it for themselves, but this wasn't good enough for this faggot because "it didn't make gamers angry." I'm not gonna bother rewatching his retarded video but I'm pretty sure that was what he said verbatim.
>>739851017Tim Sweeney prevented me from buying Pragmata. Gabe never prevented me from buying Pragmata.
>>739851157No stupid, it's handheld gaming because you hold it in your hands!
>>739851148>taken tangible steps toward fulfilling their social obligationsSee, left wing billionaires that interfere with politics are good.And Steam isn't a monopoly either, bootlicker
>>739851093>bait people and be upset at a company?You're unsure if /v/tards are engaging in the board's two most common past times?
>>739851303Why the fuck are you still a leftist anon?
>>739851218Elon Musk very much does not mind his own businessand he's using A LOT of government money to go to space
>>739850783It would be extremely painful.
>>739851374I didn't say it was a good thing. NO ONE should be a billionaire. But since they already exist, they should be expected to fulfill certain social obligations. BlackRock fulfills those moderately, Valve absolutely does not.And yes, by definition, Steam is a monopoly.

>>739851686I think distributism is more up your alley if "let the workers access the production and figure it out" is your main belief.t. Corporatist (the inevitable endpoint of economic ideology and you can't deny it)
>>739851789>It's a fucking SnoyNot much of a surprise
>>739850708No, you're attacking them because you're the useful idiots of billionaire investors and wall street venture capitalists, faggot.
>>739851789>>739842691>tranny bootlicker hates only Valve>less than 400 followersDid you just spam your own twitter?
>>739851469Righties are still somehow worse. Why can't everyone just be a reasonable centrist and not a batshit deranged partisan.
>>739851819>Elon pushing science and technology furtherHe isn't. At all. Name one, just ONE, thing he innovated. Just one. He sucks up government funds to keep up his scams while pocketing the majority and using some to bribe Republicans.>Larry Fink pushing woke culture and DEI If "woke culture" means human rights and equitable treatment of all human beings, then yeah that's actually a good thing. Like it's amazing how you losers try so hard to make literal human rights sound like a bad thing.
>>739852125How are righties worse? Leaving Steam alone and not forcing it to go public is the centrist position anon
>>739852034>you're the useful idiots of billionaire investors and wall street venture capitalistsThat's literally what you're doing. You're supporting Valve, owned by a capitalist billionaire. I'm supporting consumer rights.
>>739852107It's probably some grown ass man who still obsesses over console wars and brand hate/worshipSo no shit he probably posted it himself
>>739842691Pretty good troll post to be honest.
>>739851157It's just a laptop with controller controls.
>>739852197like what?
>>739851920I don't think co-ops can compete with corporations' ability to raise capital within the current system unless there are major societal reforms that give workers more power and equalize the playing field between the two business forms, at least if the economy is to become 100% or close to 100% worker-owned. If that happened then we would technically have a socialist system, not a capitalist one. The Emilia-Romagna province in northern Italy has implemented some interesting laws that has led to cooperatives making up 40% of the regional GDP. ("Revolution" is obviously for dysgenic retards.)
>>739852132First private shuttle into space and reusable rockets. Most space travel is now done through spaceXHe gets money to provide a service that NASA cant because Obama removed their funding to waste more money on immigration.>If "woke culture" means human rightsIt doesn't. Rights are in the bill of rights that predate your bootlicking ideology. Though it's funny you'd give credit to a jewish billionaire, is he paying you?
>>739852197You're supporting billionaires, corporations and the state by attacking private business
>>739852451this man has not updated his meme folder since 2012
>>739852197>That's literally what you're doingno, it's literally what YOU'RE doinggabe bought his yachts straight up with the money he made providing us with a service that is superior to its competition (which exists)the people whose boots you suckle on bought their yachts by leveraging our retirement plans and single family homes they bought out from the boomers
>>739852362There is no societal reform that gives workers more power, you can have a better shared infrastructure but we've seen what happens when people try to create a worker-owned society. It's far better to make it easier for people to own their own businesses via capitalism
>>739852421>First private shuttle into space and reusable rocketsAbsolute nonsense. There's no way you actually believe that right? Then again, miggers are the most gullible and brainrotted people in the world.>Rights are in the bill of rights that predate your bootlicking ideologyThen why are you so opposed to it? You can't claim to care about human rights while opposing "wokeness" because they're literally the same thing.
>>739851656For me.
>>739842691steamies on suicide watch
>>739850463>PC gaming is simply too volatileNot really.It has a huge install base and an immense library.New customers aren't dictated by having the latest box, they can simply buy games as they come out for their current machine.
Methinks bitches are just jelly.
I wonder how much money Timmy is throwing for threads like these and the shilltuber doomer videos.Reminds me of the old "PC gaming is dead" articles written by XboxIzBez back in 2008 and paid for by Microsoft.
>>739852929It's Snoys as usual>>739851789
>>739852929>poor and irishI feel personally attacked.
>>739852772>no argumentTypical low IQ leftist. Now answer the question, why is Elon Musk pushing science a bad thing, but Larry Fink pushing woke culture is a good thing?We aren't opposed to rights, you are. Your woke ideology pushed for enforced speech which is against free speech, the right all others are based on. This is because you're a bootlicker
>>739852818Who do people think is selling the games on steam...?
>>739852872>It has a huge install baseOf chinks and third-world browns
>>739853089>why is Elon Musk pushing science a bad thingI already told you: HE'S NOT. Do you truly believe that Elon is a scientist? Remind me where he got his aerospace engineering degree. I'll wait...>Your woke ideology pushed for enforced speech which is against free speechWhat speech did we take away? Your right to say the n-word? Is this what you fight for? The right to be a racist parasite?
>>739853117But enough about the Playstation
>>739851789Nani!? Anti-Valve shitposters are really just shills for Sony and Epic!? That can't be right!
>>739852991PC gaming is dead though. Valve and Microsoft just kept it on life support. There is no future for it thus why Microsoft is going multiplatform and why Valve will retreat to Steam and stop making games again after Deadcock.
>>739853117No those are console tards. Pc gaming is and always will be the domain of white men. Cope and seethe
>>739842691>fist point is a sore spot for massive hedge funds that can't stick their hands in it>second point is a sore spot for massive publishers that have to split their cut>third point is the same as above because it means indie titles don't have to go through a million hoops and suck publisher cock to get published>fourth literally doesn't matter>fifth is a good thing that promotes good, ethically licensed software, which threatens software companies trying to whore their acquired licenses out for all they're worthHmm...
>>739853117>consolewarriorI apologize, I didn't know your iq was subsaharan
>>739852761My ideal system would be one where individuals would still be able to own their private businesses like in capitalism, but where private owners of companies above a certain size would only be able to sell their voting shares to their workers. Or, workers would at least get first dibs on the shares, supported by cooperative banks and so on. But what the fuck do I know.
>>739842691>"No exclusives" talking point You just know that a snoy made this image.
>>739853271Just two more weeks until PC gaming dies for good this time, amirite Sweeneybros?
>>739851789>an anti-PC grifterNow THAT'S funny
>>739853271The only thing that's dead is your brain
>>739853379Why would they do that when the PS5 has no games?
>>739852991>I wonder how much money Timmy is throwing for threads like theseIt's worse then that, they do it for freeThat twitter account that got leaked I dove into some of the posts to find a bunch of Sony consoles warriors who are probably posting here as well. Similar language and everything.
>>739853272Retarded white men>>739853528The seethe is real
>>739853559That's not true, PS5 has uhhhhh Marvel's Miles Morales 2 and... Astrobot and uhhhhh... um... fuck...
>>739842691>exclusiveskeep that shit as far from pc gaming as possibleand fuck you timmy, you and your stones lol
>>739842691how are you gonna complain about bad buisness practices and then whine about lack of exclusives? whoever made this image is a moron. Exclusivity deals are an anti-consumer practice and only sheep with brand loyalty could possibly think that they're a good thing.
>>739853369Just ban private donations in politics and the world instantly gets better. Doesn't matter how rich a guy is; he just shouldn't use it in that way.
>>739853432AMD, Nvidia, and Intel already gave up on it for AI, kek. What, you're going to put trust in Qualcomm next?
why do "people" keep thinking exclusive games are a good thing?
>>739853629PC won
>>739853716>they gave up to chase higher profits>they won't give up consoles that are less profitable than desktop parts would it kill you consoleniggers to have some logical consistency and reasoning?
>>739853742Besides brand worship it's the only thing console warriors have
>>739853742Brainwashed by consoles x autism and fear of change + tech illiteracy
>>739853716Yup, they've SO given up on PC gaming that they're using their AI to improve raytracing technology and frame generation. Fucking idiot.
>>739853714That's definitely a big part of it. That, and giving political parties government mandate proportional to the amount of votes they get, instead of FPTP. These two changes alone would fix a majority of what's currently wrong with America.
>>739853742Exclusive games are good on PC due to completely exclusive genres, complete shit on modern consoles.The only reason they were better than multiplats back then is because the devs had the architecture documents of the unique piece of hardware consoles ran back then.Now they all run on x86 and ARM
>>739853770You wish>>739853813Nintendo's the only gaming company giving Nvidia their money and the same for Sony with AMD, you PC-ucks ain't giving them shit, so now you're getting AI slop and cloud, enjoy. Nvidia and AMD wants to make chips for Nintendo and Sony and will do so when asked. Valve can't even get a custom chip from anyone because they can't even get their failing handheld to hit 10 million units, lmao.
>>739843286they're jeetsit would be more surprising if they weren't spamming AI propaganda
>>739853874And the games look and play worse on it.
>>739847385Bots moderate Steam now.
>>739853271There's more video games in existence than you'll ever get to play in your entire lifeAnyone with a PC can backup infinite amounts of games to last a lifetime and they can play it all offline whenever, wherever, there's more PC games alone than in consoles altogether, but you can even emulate every single console in existenceIt's only you live service retards who buy every single newest, flashiest, most marketed toy, FOMO'd and peer pressured into all the latest stuff for sub-par experiences no matter your choice of platformPC has never been better, and anyone thinking in long term, already has a PC that will serve them for the rest of their lives. If the aim is to solely play and enjoy video games, we're already well covered in that front. You people don't care about video games, you only care about the sensational, social experiences surrounding the medium. You play just to feel a sense of belonging, you play only to meet people to socialize with and have topics to speak about. If it wasn't this hobby you cannibalized, you'd be doing the same with movies, comics, books etc.
>>739842691Commies are so economically illiterate it's actually hilarious.
>>739853954>now you're getting AI slop I can disable all that shit, on thr other hand your cucksoles are using AI slop right now and you're none the wiser. PC won
>>739853714How the fuck would that work? So only the rich can run for office?
I wonder how often people get hired and leave Valve. They're always around the 310-340 mark on employees. How much does the average person last there. For some reason I always thought Valve was more smaller like 100 people total across all departments.
Why when you shit on PC, PC-ucks get so bitchy that they start typing essays and throwing insults at anyone criticizes it? Every time this happens, I burst into laughter. I can already tell, they know PC gaming is in the shitter, lmao.
>>739853954consoles make AMD and Nvidia less money per silicon than pcsconsoles will be the first to go, fagaccept reality
>>739853936It was more that PC hardware wasn't capable of junk consoles were. In the 8/16 bit era, consoles had blitters. You'd only ever see that on an Amiga, and furries were the only Amiga owners.
>>739854013>PC has never been betterEver since Linux started becoming not only viable even superior for PC gaming I have felt nothing but optimism for the future of PC and anyone who disagrees is NGMI.
>>739854310>make a retarded statement >people debunk it>haha you responded why are consoleniggers so dishonest and callous?
>>739854063Is that any different than the usual way? Politics apparently pays the fucking bills, cuz every politician right now is rich as balls, or at worst, richer than (You). So, by banning donation (bribery with extra steps) as a concept, you force these guys to use their money and use it smartly. The barest fucking minimum in a leader is to not waste my fucking taxes, no?
>>739853742What other reason is there for owning a console when you could buy a PC that plays all their games and does more?
>>739850597I accept your concession
>>739854541>linuxAww, it's poor.
>>739846721Imagine paying Epic to make your game on this engine

>>739852132>I'm for human rights and the equitable treatment of all human beings>btw tell HR managers to not hire non-faggot/tranny white men :^)
>>739842691>They need accountability and direction by being publicly traded!>Second point 'against' Steam is "they make money by doing virtually nothing"!Nice hypocrisy and god-tier retarded take.Going publicly traded does not magically 'manifest' accountability or direction. Those will only ever come from strong leadership of those who have built a successful business model from their efforts. In fact, modern American economics explicitly does not encourage that in the slightest.Publicly traded companies are squeezed for every ounce of profit they can for shareholders, who can be described as, at their least predatory, the capitalist equivalent of "I'm the idea guy", and these companies are held to the expectation of consistent, endless growth. We have long surpassed the era of this occurring organically in a free market thanks to the advent of the internet and long-standing public/private infrastructure allowing for even a single-person operation to play on the same stage as multi-national conglomerates.Which means that growth will come from replacing well-compensated, experienced employees with eager, less talented, exploitable youth that will accept 1/4 of the salary for the same job done much, much worse. It will come from making fundamental changes to a well-loved, successful products and systems to save on costs, almost guaranteed to come at the expense of a worsened consumer experience. Growth with be forced for every fraction of a percentage until the company becomes hoisted by it's own petard, and will be systematically dismantled, shuffled, reorganized, offered as collateral, and then eventually liquidated entirely as the vultures choke down every bloody ounce they can before moving on to the next target.tl;dr get fucked you shilling faggot.
>>739855063>thinks it's paidAww, it's retarded (goes without saying for a lincuck).>but the poor remarklinsucks is for potatoes.
>>739842691>every other store in existence usually has a 30% markup>it's bad when steam does it
>>739854901This is just embarrassing

>>739854947At least they have a working game engine, source engine can’t handle current technology and lacks exporting to current market.
>>739855272What's retarded about thinking that a retard paid for Windows?
>>739842691I love steam(the private company). Would-be Investors can tongue my anus and suck on my penis(while I pee)
>>739855472But I don't use linux, so I'm clearly not retarded.
>>739842691Steam is the lesser evil though, fuck Swiney. His exclusive deals just hurt gaming as a hobby. Steam never did us wrong.
>>739855353Look at their taxes, they are not paying their fair share. They are corporate America problem and that’s not ok anon.
>>739855559Ok, but my life is good, so why should I care about that?
Gabe is pretty deep down my list of billionaires we need to kill. Ask me again when Peter Thiel is 5 feet underground.
>>739842691>They take a 30% cut on every transaction for doing virtually nothingWhether a 30% cut is too high is debatable but supplying servers that serve the game files and facilitate multiplayer is not nothing.>They rely on the open source community to develop and maintain Proton/Steam OSFalse. They actually pay and even employ most, if not all of the programmers responsible for maintaining the open source projects.
>>739855559look at what report? it's a private company they don't have to publicly disclose what they pay in taxes
>>739855551>paid for windows>only found out about massgrave 3 posts ago>is "clearly" not retarded
You steam cultists brag about Valve being a privately held company yet are too brianwashed to notice how jewish they are despite thisBefore 4chan fell to redditors & gen z people were at least intelligent enough to notice how TF2 was raped into the ground in order to add hats
>>739855735>thinks I paid>can't read American>uses babby's first unix clone

>>739842691Hang all commies
>>739842691And what? You think /v/ can magically force Valve to go public?I don't even need to explain why shareholders would ruin a publicly traded Steam, because this thread will do nothing.
>>739856002>>739856010>>739856202If you want to be part of the problem then jail time for those involved. By promoting acts not under Valve Corporate or responsibility by them, you have essentially declared yourself has foreign agents and will be reported for this crime.
They should just execute all goyim.
>>739842691How is not making exclusives a bad thing?
How does Steam's business practices affect me personally... outside of buying things, getting demos, and maybe getting refunds?
>>739857467Why should I be invested in your expensive hardware if I can just get the same games on cheaper hardware with games you can't find anywhere else and plays those games better?
>>739857575>plays those games betterImagine lying and not even getting paid for it.
>>739857575>Why should I be invested in your expensive hardwareDespite what the Epic Jeets like to say, you don't need a Steam Deck to play Steam games.
>>739848075You missed an update bud
>>739857668yes you do
>>739842691>billionaires bad!>public trading that consists of even more billionaires making decisions that solely benefit them is good!You must be a leftist, because only a leftist operates under the logic of, "The solution to bad thing is to quadruple down on the bad thing because that will solve the problem!"
>>739857546They never offered those things without THE PEOPLE suing them for their crimes. Your opinion doesn’t reflect Valve Corporate it is THE PEOPLE who demand such policies in the first place.
>>739842691the second steam becomes publicly traded is the second i uninstall it and never spend another red cent in the steam store. fuck off, you filthy fucking kike
>>739843825all evil is jewish, i.e. (((you)))die in a fire, hymie
>>739842691Fuck off, Timmy. You only whine about monopolistic practices when you are the one not doing them.
>>739846878Both are bad, although nintendo is worse because they have 50 times the money that valve does, so they literally have no excuse to raise their prices. Pokemon makes more in one year than Valve has made in 20 years.

>>739858325Says the guy replying to me, instead of just not caring.
>>739857768Valve will have to do a lot worse than tank their hardware to suck start a shotgun.
>>739858418tu quoque, nigger
>>739858408Pray tell, when was the last time any valve game sold 30 million copies? When was the last time that Valve could rehash a game they put out 20 years ago, and have it break sales numbers? Does Valve own any IP that can outpace star wars in terms of sheer profit?
>>739857064can we have this esl moron banned please? he's been doing this for monthshe's embarassed himself so fucking hard when he tried to imply steamos isn't actually open source
>>739858462Portal 2 remaster with less gameplay and 500 hours of unskippable Wheatley jokes would sell a trillion copies.

>>739858661ADL being upset is the best ad for a service ever.
>>739858691Anon, I stand by what I said. Pokemon is just ONE ip they own, and it makes them trillions every year. Valve doesn't have a single thing that makes them even a fraction of that profit.
>>739858039>because they have 50 times the moneyAs if shareholders haven't sucked as much as they can out of the company through dividents.

Steam sucks but I don't want to imagine how much worse it'd get if it was publicly traded.
>>739859914>a lifelong snoy>hating something for over a decadeof course
>>739842691We need a workers revolution and a workers owned version of Steam and I’m not even kidding. They are a parasitical middle man
>>739862129Please shut the fuck up. You would ruin Valve with your socialist bullshit.
>>739862339You fuck off. The only difference between Steam now and and a workers Steam is that there wouldn’t be a 30% cut from a parasitical middle man. Literally everything else would be the same. Surely your hatred for people that make games isn’t more powerful than your love for corps?
>>739862425Lol bullshit. You faggots would immediately start mass banning accounts over political ideological reasons, while every day nothing gets done because you spend 6 hours having a struggle session over pronouns or some kind of progressive stack meltdown.
>>739844342To be fair Kikes know if they tell enough lies the retard dumbfuck normie subhuman animals will buy what they're selling.And it's especially true of third world ESL fecaloids.If a Jew tells you that whites will die off if you buy their product, they will buy it. Anything to feel good about themselves while ignoring how cowardly and pathetic they truly are.Jews have many slaves. Many retards that don't see the lies.
>>739842691Damn.. how long did it take one of the art monkeys at Epic to make this for Timmy?
>>739862425The hilarious notion that you would remove the 30% "parasitic" cut is hilarious. You'll reinstate it not long after once you discover what operating costs are.
SWEENIES MAD!DO NOT REDEEM!
>>739862425>wouldn’t be a 30% cut from a parasitical middle manWhy would that change if they still benefit from that cut?

>>739842691>publicly traded
>>739842691>No exclusive games as bad thingConsolefags are braindead
>>739842691Why are anti-steamfags acting like people are being forced to buy a Steam Deck?
>>739864171How else are you going to play games on Steam, chud?
>>739842691Lmfao fuck off and die in a fire
>>739864171It's a deranged Snoy scraping for anything he can use to console war with anyone who dares to not be his beloved company
>>739864234hi Elon. how about you fuck off and jump into a pile of cacti
>>739864321Least subtle discord nintenigger right there, folks.
Actually I only profited from using steam. Thank you Gaben for those 20$ cases.
>>739842691>1 - shareholdersSomeone will cry bait, grift, trolling, whatever. But when you read things like pic related, the image OP posted could very well be genuine. Someone thought about it and created the pic proclaiming that a lack of shareholders is a "bad" thing.
>>739842691if you are so proud of AI why are your shit posting bots so brain fucking dead? 2 decades too early scammers
>>739864427Amazon crying because they did not put the research into making a good fucking program that is fast in under seconds and a smooth interface. Eat shit. Bad product = no one wants. Crying to the public will not help yourself look less retarded
This whole fucking steam bad push that started lately reeks of nintencultism. They've always been doing organized shitposting against who they perceive to be the enemy.
>>739864568The OP is here >>739851789 so see for yourself
>>739864028That's why your handheld PCs failed, no games to buy.
There's plenty of people fed up with Valve and Steam. The way to beat Steam is to offer what Steam used to be: easily accessible, light on DRM, no third party DRMs, no always on DRM, and frequent, real deep discounts.People will not give up their decade(+) accounts to move to a new place that is just Steam with less features, more or the same amount of DRM, and higher prices.
steam cultists are pathetic
All Hail the Obese Lord.All Hail Gaben.
>>739842691>few to no exclusive gamesand this is anticonsumer how?
>>739864735Handheld PCs are doing well within the market for them that actually exists. It's an extremely niche product. If Steamdeck was the catastrophic failure that Switchpedos think it is, it wouldn't have spawned so many clones trying to get in on the action.

These threads are bought and paid for.
>SAAARS YOU ARE OF BE NEEDING IN HELP REDEEMING SAAARSfuck off, jeet
>>739864925If it were a success like Valve thought it was, AMD would be supplying them with the custom chips they need for Steam Deck successor.
>>739842691Ok, so why are you shilling for Timmy?
>>739866101Based on what reasoning?
>>739843286right? I thought it was just a retard trying to claim a niche like the fag who spams "erick", but this is just sad. why do they care if the deck went up in price? anyone that wanted them already bought one. games didn't go up in price, online play is free, nothing's changed yet these fags act as if they were Nintendo or something
>>739866101>like Valve thought it wasThe Steam Deck isn't a failure though. It exclusively sells through Valve's website and they sell out every time. If they spent a shit ton of money to try to get in more outlets and can't turn units then it might be a different story. This is like saying Iron Lung was a "failure" because it didn't make $800M like the new Super Mario movie did.
>>739866189That Valve can't get the piece of shit to sell 10 million units or over.
>>739850708The responsibilities expected of megacorporations are maximising shareholder profits at the cost of the customer.
>>739866643They currently can't sell out anymore after the restock. They sold out two days ago and then restocked the day after and now they can't sell out.
>>739866268That video unironically looks better than anything ever shitted out by Atlus.
Apparently Unity asset store takes a 30% cut too. I found this out recently.Godot is adding a new (paid) asset store and no one has discussed how much they're going to take yet (but they have confirmed they're going to take a cut). I wonder what it'll be.
>>739848075uhhh but the deck sold out? plus rampocalypse context
>>739867435you think shitposters give a fuck about context?
>>739842691>Billionaire Oligarchs are not your friends.Gabe Newell and Jeff Bezos are some of my very best friendsHow dare you
>>739858661The fact that Steam pretty much leaves people alone is the best thing, though
>>739842691Get the fuck out kyubey
>>739842691Every Single bad thing that happened to games can be linked to your kind.Every single one of em.You should all be gassed for what you did to the games.
I pray for the day Steam gets removed from Flathub.
>Should we mention that the Yachts they buy is used for ocean research by scientists>No, that would make our hissy fit irrelevant,
>>739842691Pure corporate propaganda. Bottomless butthurt from shitbag hedge fund CEOs. Just booty blasted because they literally can't compete with a platform that isn't legally obligated to constantly enshittify itself. Screaming, crying, and shitting themselves because they can't force the hand if the market. An absolute diaper baby tantrum because they don't have the competence and brains to even begin to rival a better managed company. Get fucked; valve may be imperfect and gaben may be a rich fat old bastard but he hasn't fucked us yet, and he's doing a damn sight better after some twenty years than most companies can manage in six months before their hot hands start actively fucking shit up with their greed.
>>739864568>NO IT HAS TO BE ANOTHER TRIBE
>>739857845So if I complain enough they capitulate and provide better service? Sounds too good to be true
>>739858661suddenly all the anti-steam spam makes sense
>>739849965its the same reason why they're saying>valve should just eat the loss with the deck!if they sell it at under value they can then launch lawfare monopoly cases against valve
>>739864997You're not a gamer if you attack jews for being jews. And you're not an acceptable company if your platform hosts games glorifying attacks on jews.
>>739858462Who the fuck cares? If it's such an unsuccessful company why are you corporate fucks trying so hard to get into it's market? If it's such a giant failure why do you feel like you need to compete? Why the fuck would anyone want to invest in valve if it's so clearly mismanaged? It's because they're rolling in dough, absolutely up to their fucking eyeballs in money, and mostly because they do fucking nothing. The vast majority of PC gamers have made it clear that this is what they want as well; a static useable platform for buying and storing game licenses. Publicly traded companies literally can't, they NEED to make more money every year and the CEO has to look like he's working so he actively fucks with the product every year. Nothing any publicly traded company can be better for more than a couple years at BEST, and is more likely to fuck the whole market out of existence as soon as valve stops being privately owned.
>>739847414It's merely another "keyed" in the works.

>>739855652Wayyyyyy the fuck down the list. Man makes his money selling luxury goods at competitive market prices, with almost zero scandal, minimal lobbying, AND having been cleared several times of running a monopoly despite the interests of corporate America. Meanwhile Indy gaming have blossomed despite the heavy taxation. They might all deserve the harpoon, but whale hunting would have to get pretty lean before I'd go looking for him.
The stock market was a mistake
>>739842691>Billionaire Oligarchs are not your friendsCorrect>They are your enemies.Incorrect.Socialist faggot
>>739869726that's antisemitic
>>739842691>Steam needs accountability and direction, and that can only happen if it is publicly traded. The platform has no future under Gabe Newell's stranglehold.The insatiable greed of the nose will be his undoing.
OPs a bootlicking faggot
>>739842691being a publicly traded business is a wet dream for sociopathic richfucks like Gabe "2 Steaks" "Big Yachty" N-word since it's a free money printer (Valve's founders for example were rich from Microsoft stock). the only reason they wouldn't do it is if there was something preventing them from going public.... like entire massive revenue streams of their business built on unlicensed gambling or illegal use of escrow funds that would end up tanking the business if it came out in a public financial review like every publicly traded company has to do.

>>739871250They're going to do everything in their power to stop you from cashing out through third-parties. Have fun being a hardware reseller.
>>739871334Cashing out? Wym? I am not going to sell those skins. I'm going to use them in the game I play and I want to reward valve for providing me with better service than everyone else (besides the pirate scene, but I donate them enough already).
>>739871432i'd really like to hear your opinion on pic related

>>739871472Good for them. India should be quarantined and depopulated. How's that relevant to steam, valve or my dota skins obsession?
>>739871510any comments >>739871472
>>739871053Oy vey!
>>739871563You don't fix your toilet overflowing with shit by pissing on the turds.
>>739842691>steam should be under the control of a trillion dollar megacorp that wants infinite growth while putting games and emulators under a paid subscriptionI'd rather that money go towards yacht santa doing ocean research, making hundreds of thousands of games compatible on other platforms with fex and proton development. that seems a bit better to me than paying microsoft to access games through a subscription service or nintendo for them to sue indie devs into stagnation.
>>739871558>How's that relevant to steamthey're replacing you too
Accountability for what? Just use a competitor. It's not valves fault they're dogshit.
>>739871587Lemme go off-topic and point out that this is wrong. If your piss has enough pressure to break down the turds that will let the smaller shit chunks pass through the pipes more smoothly.
>>739842691Nintendo isn't your friend tendie
>>739871652>Just use a competitor. It's not valves fault they're dogshit.that's not what Valve staff says
>>739843286Yeah I saw this trash on xitter beforeThey really thing steam deck/machine is the same as a nintendo switch and valve is le bad for barely having any exclusives.
>>739871652You don't understand. If everyone wants to use one service instead of others, that means the company running the service is a monopoly! That means we need to sue the customers for their monopolistic practices! >>739871674What are the odds that works well? You're just going to have piss AND shit all over the place. The analogy holds as well. Jeets are incompetent and annoying to deal with, but at least they're (biologically) humans you can possibly get help from. AI has trouble remembering the conversation after 3 lines. Replacing jeets with AI isn't a good solution, even if we're already in a bad situation with companies relying on jeets.>>739871709Don't sell on Steam. Aren't you the faggot talking about all the kiddie rape yaoi VNs that are sold on other stores? Sell on those stores.
>>739871627I am an electrician. Until robots catch up I'm the last to be replaced. Get better baits, valve was good for me 15 years ago when all other companies turned their backs on PC players like me. Now I'm good by them as long as they keep providing the best service among the competition
>>739871709>that's not what Valve staff says>posts an image that literally says "if we can't sell as cheap as Uplay then we'll just not sell the game"Anon your image is Valve outright saying they'll force the issue of making people use other stores by way of not selling that game on Steam.
>>739871709Asking for price parity is hardly the gotcha you think it is.
>>739871761>gets shown an example of Steam using market distorting anti-competitive practices>defends harderyour brown hand is showing
>>739871803it's the gotcha that's lost them a massive class action lawsuit since it's a smoking gun of them doing textbook most-favored-nation producer coercing.
>>739871802>ackshually this blatant example of coercion is making people use other stores!i cant believe you get paid to post this retarded cringe
>>739872017>coercionRetard it's only coercion if you're trying to forcibly put yourself in an advantageous position. There's nothing advantageous about cutting yourself out entirely just because you can't make LESS money off of a product.
>>739871709With how much of a turd EGS ended up, maybe stores should compete based on quality and features instead of attracting customers with free shit then enshittifying.
>>739872448you realize anyone can just search the definition and see that yourre the retarded one right?
>>739872604Nigger how is it forcing Origin against their free will to just go "sorry steam but I will continue to sell for less than your store, you can stop selling my product if you wish"?Fucking retard already has google and still incapable of learning shit.
>>739855929>hurt AustraliaBased>lied in court to the German government.Based>Stealing patentBased>gamblingBased>copyright infringementBasedI wish I could choose to give 100% of the money to valve and not just 30%
>>739871873How is it anticompetitive? Just don't sell on Steam. You don't have to sell on Steam.
>>739872648>changing the participants to be two stores when the actual example they're in trouble for is them coercing a developer (producer) to price according to their wishesso you're just pretending to be retarded to defend Steam
>>739842691These threads just reinforce my perception of jews being complete and total evil, imagine spending millions on bots and jeets to try and smear a company you can't controlAt least you can't proliferate this third world garbage narrative on X, they were calling out rothschild kikery from the start
>>739872719>example literally cites UPLAY OR ORIGIN>durr it's not between storesThe only retard here is you.
>>739872745as a paid shill what do you think about being replaced by AI? >>739871472
>>739872780The Steam staff were not talking to the staff of another store, retard.
>>>739872745(You)>as a paid shill what do you think about being replaced by AI? >>739871472
So uh why should I care about valve being le evil ?Can you make a better store ? Like with a shopping basket on day one tim ? No 3 years later ? With workshop, free cloud save and sync between differents computer/steam deck ? Curators groups ? User reviews ? Controller support ? Vr support ? No ads in my library ? No ? Then fuck off
>>739872842>can't function off script
>>739871709>Valve makes game cheaper by asking to be able to sell them cheaper like other stores>this is somehow a bad thing
>>739872780>"we'd ask the dev to give us that lower price or opt to not sell the game"
>>739872950Yes, anon, which forces the sale of the product to only be on those other storefronts, aka making people use another competitor, which was what >>739871652 is arguing for.Again, how does valve going "let us sell it cheaper or we're out" exemplify not pointing to using other storefronts?
>>739872948price parity just stops them from making the product cheaper elsewhere... like on a competing store with lower fees that they could easily price cheaper without losing profit margin.market manipulation is objectively bad for everyone but the monopolist manipulating the market.>pretending to be retarded to defend Steam
>>739873093Outside of Timmy dogface's retardation the only way a developer could "price cheaper without losing profit margin" is if they were a first party developer in the storefront so that they don't need to deal with the 30% fee. If they're third party then it means fuck all.Unfortunately Timmy retard's "the devs pocket more money" shit changes fuck all for the people who actually hold the power aka the paying customer.
>>739873051because they're not seriously interested in the producer leaving them (and makes it much more difficult than their competing stores to do so, pic related) but are instead using it as a threat to cut off the developer from their userbase/product/monopoly.
>>739873264Steam is the only storefront charging 30%the industry standard is 15%
>>739873334Nintendo, Xbox and Sony does 30%The fuck ass bizzaro world you got that 15% shit from?
>>739845581>If this shit mattered to Blackrock and wasnt just a retard baiting they'd just have Mossad assassinate Gabe.It matters but not THAT much.
>>739873360Yeah, but they're not monopolies, sweaty. :3
>>739873360>Nintendo, Xbox and Sonysteamies really think PC is a console huh
>>739842691Oh, when they come out with high quality images like this, you know it's backed by moneyed interests. Billionaires attempting to use the plebs against other billionaires.>private company means welfare>they take 30% just like every other store>they allow games i don't like on the store>they're only working on 3 games instead of a gorillion games>the code is open source, this is bad because <incoherent screeching>Is this because they didn't bend the knee to the ADL? You have to kill yourselves.
>>739873661>retard thinks its about consolesThey're all video gaming platforms.
>>739873360google store is the largest userbase storefront for software/games in the marketapple store is the most profitable storefront for software/games in the marketthey both charge 15% while their smaller, less profitable competitor Steam takes 30% and personally emails threats to devs who don't match the prices of their games on their storeSteam kinda pathetic ngl
>>739873736Google Play and App Store aren't in the same league in the first world. We're talking about actual video games here.
>>739873736So steam isn't a monopoly then.
>>739873360Nintendo, Xbox and Sony aren't in the same league in the first world. We're talking about actual knife skins and hats here.
>>739873838I said first world. Nobody in the USA (the only first world country) cares about knife skins and hats.
>>739873787no one said they were, kumar.
>>739873838>We're talking about actual knife skins and hats here.Origin, of Electronic "star wars lootboxes" Arts, also charges 30% for distribution. As does Uplay.
>>739873865>USA>first worldDoes He Know?
>>739873905who?
>>739873907>has nothing to do with what I saidYou should probably learn to speak American.
>>739873959the USA (not first world) actively has lawsuits against Valve specifically for their skins and hats lootboxes.... they're not doing that on behalf of non-Americans.
>>739874024New York is hardly America.
>>739873360Xbox is about to switch to 12% since it's becoming a PC next gen. Nintendo and Sony do it because they actually subsidize their hardware unless they make it cheap enough to make a profit.
>>739873575>can play steam games on any of the 2-3 billion PCs that exist in the wild(and possibly 4 billion android phones in the future)>steam funds development into making tens of thousands of PC games to work regardless of cpu architecture or operating systemMeanwhile with nintendo, I'd need to shell out 500 dollars to play games on an underpowered tablet. Then nintendo uses that money to fund suing indie devs into stagnation.
What percentage do GOG and Epic take on Pragmata sales?
>>739842691Based, this board has too many stunted NPCs, good job making them seethe perfect, factual, bait
>>739873736>two actual monopoliesGOG takes 30% and is actively losing money and doesn't even have even close to the same amount of features that steam has.
>>739874172GOG takes 30%No one 3rd party makes any money on Epic.
>>739874350They take 0% on Pragmata sales.
>>739842691>making games exclusive to their platform is a good thingwhat is up with consolecucks worshipping companies being actually anti-consumer? Meanwhile valve is funding billions into making gaming break the hardware and software. Thank gaben for taking games out of their console cuck cages with their paid online and voice chat.
>>739842691But enough about jewtendo
