what's up with all the steam/valve/gabe hate threads lately? Is it because timmy made a fool of himself again?
>>740288750
>>740288876valve won a lawsuit against some jewish copyright trolling family and now they're being targeted everywhere
>>740288876It's a bank holiday week.
>>740288927makes sense
>>740288750The exactly same spark of time Trump raped his own daughter
>>740288876the jews are desperate for a slice of the PC gaming storefront pietheir own storefronts have all failed due to being worse than steam and steam's not publicly traded so now they have to resort to defamation and endless lawsuits meant to waste valve's time and money
>>740288876stop noticing.
>>740288750Is everyone supposed to imagine what the object of your retarded obsession is this time?Why do you even come here?
>>740288876I blame the steam machine price hikes
>>740288876Can confirm jews are big mad about backrooms movie and lack of video game sales
>>740288750They always have been. It's just that the pc master race console fan boy war moved to support them after xbox and sony fell out of fashion which masked their bad consumer practices.
Why are steamies melting down for weeks at this point?
>>740288750>When did Valve turn corpo?This is serious question? They are not your friend, they have never been your friend

>>740288927>>740288992>>740289610>>740288951Corsair is a real company and it’s been around before Valve Corporation. Corsair has been in the PC business longer and has experience dealing with criminals that steal patents.You only got the fake information from Reddit with no actual evidence. THE PEOPLE voted, they found Valve guilty of stealing. You can not dispute this fact when Valve lawyers have tried every cheap tactic to win. Facts are facts.
>>740291232thisI’m convinced Steam and Gaben are effectively industry plants or double agents.Think about it this way: the gaming industry, much like the music industry, needed a pressure valve for PC gaming. Steam became that outlet. Some players were pulled in by cheap sales and massive discounts, while the rest — people who could easily pirate games — were kept within this contained ecosystem.These gamers have always existed somewhat outside the traditional system, and the industry realized it was better to keep them in a controlled bubble rather than let them “contaminate” the mainstream market — the console audience and the 99% of consumers where the real money is made.That’s why they never truly want PC gaming to expand too far. They’re comfortable keeping it as a niche corner of the market.They do not want PC gaming to become fully mainstream.Imagine if Steam and PC gaming reached true mass-market “normie” levels. The console business model could collapse. Piracy would become dramatically more widespread, and industry profits could take a major hit.So in this view, Gaben’s role is to manage and contain the PC audience, not to push PC gaming into the mainstream. The “master race” branding and premium gatekeeping culture help maintain that separation rather than eliminate it.

>>740288927>Some Jewish copyright trolling familyBrother, he's LITERALLY a Rothschild.
>>740291047>Why are steamies melting down for weeks at this point?They got a dose of reality.
>>740288876>enshittify steam client>won against the jews>jews jackup valve supply chainsI don't know who jewing who at this point, just like the gay epstein war in Iran
>>740291316patents are retarded and gayif others can figure out the same thing your idea is worthless
>>740288750>when did the corporation turn corpo?are you retarded?
>>740291447NOOOOOOOOOOO THIS CAN'T BE, GABE IS OUR FRIEND, HE PERSONALLY KISSES EVERY STEAM DECK WHEN PACKAGING THEM
>>740291316>THE PEOPLE voted
>>740291374He was A Rothschild but allegedly has zero connection to THE Rothschilds. So pretty much a level 1 tutorial boss Rothschild.
>>740291481fuck you
>>740288876Its this >>740288927Worst part is when Valve won /v/ called out what was about to happen
>>740291374>>740291479>Copyright =\= patent>never mentioned RothschildAre you OP, why are you not writing correct informationAlso Steam is a monopoly, they avoid paying copyright fees in UK for too long. Laws are laws, not even Epic or Google can avoid.
>>740288876Ever since Valve completely nuked the CS skins market there has been a lot of hate toward them from third world NFT collectors who lost their digital fortunes
>>740288876A Rothschild lost a large patent trolling case against Valve and he's been trying to ruin them.
>>740288927>>740289610>>740291327>>740291594Go back to /x/ now, never come back
>>740291327Gape Newell left Microsoft because Microsoft abandoned PC gayming and wanted to waste time and money chasing Sony and Nintendo. It's that simple. Nobody decided to support PC like Valve did. Their service made it so Windows, Mac, and Linux could all play games in the same ecosystem where there's no ESRB fees, no online fees, no publisher fees for selling on a locked platform. Yeah they take 30% cut, but so do other retailers that sell some form of goods. Timmy Tencent boasts about his low store percentage and the anti-Steam monopoly because his company happens to have a monopoly on game development, which ended up suffering because Epic never cared about PC, and they shifted to catering Unreal Engine to Hollywood which ended up ruining performance for new games.
>>740291727>>740291594Silence, Rothschild.
>>740288927>valve won a lawsuit against some jewish copyright trolling familyIt's crazy how they've been getting sued non-stop since thtey stepped on the Rothschild toes.Almost like those memes about the Jews controlling everything are actually true. And here was me thinking. 2% of the population having 70% of the leadership roles was merely a coincidence.
>>740291594>>740291723>>740291741It’s sad that Steam cultists believed a fake story about Rothschild and added racism to it. That’s all you people say about it. The same god dam message from Reddit.
>>740292003>fake story about Rothschild>fakeAnon...
>>740292086Defamation didn't work so now they're trying to bury it
>>740291594>>740291723>>740291741>>740291938>>740291993>>740292086>Valve won>Still butt hurtNothing can please you people, keep crying over it and keep not reading.
>>740292194>Jews lost a single court case>Therefore I can never criticise the Jews again
>>740292156>No you not allowed to post to different anons at different time periodsShut up anon, you proved nothing.
>>740292250>different anonsThat makes it even worse.
>>740291327Your nose is showing
>>740292180>>740292086>>740291993>>740292247>Not reading contextThe Rothschild racism story is fake anon, you belong in /pol/
>>740291327>That’s why they never truly want PC gaming to expand too far.Who? Why?If that were true, then Steam simply would have done nothing and let PC gaming decay in the mid 2000s. Bro, you had to walk into a store (usually Best Buy or Circuit City) pick out a PC game box for $59.99 and take it home and hope the install discs all work properly.Want an obscure game from more than four years ago? LOL, too fucking bad. You'll never find anything but the top 10 releases because shelf space is at a premium in brick and mortar stores.If Valve didn't want PC gaming to expand they sure did a shit ass horrible job of that. Probably shouldn't have revolutionized the marketing and distribution system to make it a million times more accessible. That didn't help.
>>740288750valve has always been a corporation
>>740291841People will never like Jews again.
Valve for a long time refused to provide refunds and only changed their behavior after losing in court. They are not really providing much of a service for the commission they are charging. There have been several cases of games published on steam containing malware. There also refuse to provide any good payment options. I am not providing them my credit card details again. You also don't own any game you buy on steam. They can lock you out of your account for a dumb reason and then you lose access to your entire library there.
>>740294302whatever theyre paying you guys is too much because you guys STINK at pushing a narrative
>>740293869If you’re scared of them because of some story then you always had this problem of racism within you. Talk to a therapist.
>>740294649No, I don't think I will

>>740291327>That’s why they never truly want PC gaming to expand too far. They’re comfortable keeping it as a niche corner of the market.>They do not want PC gaming to become fully mainstream.dumb nigger, pc gaming is bigger than ever and if anything valve is actively trying to make it bigger with their work and funding of linux, fex, proton, the living room experience with the steam machine, the creation of a handheld market etc etcsoon we'll be at the point where pc gaming is going to be so fucking accessible that every single form factor is going to be able to do it thanks to valve, this will only grow the amount of people with actual desktops because it's naturally the endpoint of it that offers the best value with the fewest compromises
>very obvious market trend that three seconds of googling would make you aware RAM prices are now 500% what they were a year ago>it is now very obviously more expensive to produce hardware and it is not something anyone in the gaming industry can control>Microsoft increases price of their console>OMG FUCK MICROSOFT DISGUSTING COMPANY>Sony increases price of their console>OMG FUCK SONY TOO, NINTENDO AND VALVE ARE REALLY THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE CONSUMER FRIENDLY>Nintendo increases price of their console>WHAT THE FUCK NINTENDO IS SO GREEDY>Valve increases price of their console>VALVE HAS GONE CORPORATE AND ANTI-CONSUMER, WHAT THE FUCKare people stupid
>>740291351>>740291447Valve doesn't depend on the deck and people still use the store. You literally don't need one to benefit from Steam's ecosystem. You guys are punching air.
>>740288750Gaben probably haven't gamed in 10 years minimum.
>>740294902People need to be mad at something because they don't play video games anymore.
>>740294902consoles exist only because console corpos want them to exist so they can exert control over consumers, they're completely to blameif sony, nintendo and microsoft were to stop all hardware manufacturing overnight and things would only improvesame goes for microsoft "developing windows"those things are all self serving cancer hindering the industry
The JIDF isnt sending their best.
>>740294302>Valve for a long time refused to provide refunds and only changed their behavior after losing in court. Objectively wrong.I got a refund for Sword of the Stars 2 when it released as an unfinished buggy alpha by quoting Australian consumer law.Sure it was a pain in the ass but I've gone through worse return processes with other businesses.
>>740293869Yeah, Qatar and Saudia Arabia have been spending a lot of money empowering European guilt to ensure that happens.
>>740295006This, although if you play modern vidya you'll feel more tired and depressed instead
>>740288876Fuckers had it coming
>>740292361Don't care Valve still N°1.
>>740295161fuck you
>>740294302meh theyre aight
>>740294902Yes, genuinely stupid
>>740288876a few really shitty TOSs recently came to light and people were being open about how they were requesting refunds in response.Steam is the only place that will reliably let you refund a game if you disagree with the TOS. This is one of the many reasons why they fucking hate Steam. Can't make nearly enough money if the consumers have rights and can claw their money back from you.
>>740291327something is wrong with your enter key, it keeps registering double inputs
>>740294902If Valve really care about gamers, Gabe would have build memory fabs. It's his fault that we are now fucked over by East Asian memory cartel and AI companies.
>>740291316> real companies dont patent trollThat's majority of what they fucking do. Apple Microsoft google etc all buy up patents to hold onto to sue others for using it. More money goes into patent jew shit than actual R&D
>>740288876Why is this posted in every single thread that DARES to say anything negative about valve? And it's the exact same replies every single time?
>>740294302>only changed their behavior after losing in court.they chose to change it worldwide instead of splintering into Valve Europe that follows european court rulings while normal Valve persists as usual. But you've been told this countless times before, haven't you?
>>740292194i won't be pleased until Hitler 2 comes and does the Holocaust 1
>>740294649You guys are fucked, shit's gone mainstream now. Lefties and Rightoids hate you, even the apolitical enlightened centrists.
>>740300256Because it's extremely easy to tell apart actual corporate interests with typical /v/ brand loyalty / shitposting if you've been here for more than a week, faggot.
>>740291316They're still a patent troll
>>740300458>with typical /v/ brand loyaltyYou mean like with Valve? The one company on /v/ where you can get banned if you dare to talk badly about them
>>740300547I didn't say Valve doesn't have their own brand cocksuckers, I said it's very easy to tell the difference
>>740300547nigger this entire thread hasn't had a single critique of valve just random buzzwords from start to finish
>>740300575Yeah like my original point how it's always the same exact bot comments defending Valve no matter what they do.When they work with Sweet Baby Inc its okWhen they censor games it is okWhen they hire pro BLM activists it's okValve has done shit that makes even the most jewish and scummy company look good, but cultists will defend them. Because VaIvedrones are the applefags of gaming
>>7402887502003 you fucking idiot
>>740291727YOU DARE USE MY PRECIOUS MINORI TO SUPPORT THE RULING CLASS
>>740300681Yeah, let’s fix that.They’re a bunch of lazy hacks who don’t give a fuck about you, and their boss is a fat ass who only sees gamers as a wallet to buy more yachts with.

>>740302182No I dont. Every single pic I have of her is worksafe.
>>740302396We know the truth
>>740302437If you say so.
>>740288750august 24th 1996
>>740288750kill all jews
>>740301452Why is it always the subhuman corporate property shitting up the board?Is it because they are too underdeveloped to properly enjoy playing videogames and they can only get gratification by sucking off their corporate masters?
>>740288750>When did Valve turn corpo?When Steam started making countless millions off suckers ez.
>>740291327Steam is a pressure Valve for retarded publishers. The industry in the late 2000s was completely fucked, because publishers were becoming increasingly unable to actually sell you shit and were pushing blame on their actual target audience with increasingly shitty DRM.Piracy does not matter, it was just more convenient than "Pre-order only on Amazon for this weapon or at gamestop for this hat, then take the code out of the box to install 5 times (each hardware change is one install lol, maybe you can call our hotline to get an install back), and you have to have the CD in the drive and redeem the one-time-use season pass code. Don't forget to make an account, buy 3 15 dollar DLC packs and scan some Doritos.".Any sane company (even a console company) wants PC gaming and PC piracy to be fairly popular if they are even vaguely decent at selling you good products, even Nintendo pushed record numbers due to concurrent, very on-brand PC piracy providing free marketing for the Switch which allowed them to pull a complete 180 from the Wii U.
I like Valve and I like eating pork
>>740291187>jews not legally permitted to control the free marketAnd you act like this is a bad thing.The truth is the lawsuit strikes upon the crux of the free market.Anyone can make an alternative video game retailer storefront and see success, such as GoG.
>>740302396There you go lying again ..
>>740291841slit your own throat, disgusting jew
>>740300292PRS told Valve countless times, UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 is a real law. Yet Valve keeps ignoring laws.They are criminals since the very beginning.
>>740301452
>>740300460Fix your dumb American laws instead of crying about it and continue to let it happen.

>>740288982Biden/harris lost
>>740288876not really?
>>740288876this site became a shell of its former self. It's like SSJ13, trolls scared off serious players until its only trolls among themself.
>>740300292They fought it in court for years before finally caving due to how illegal their practices were in various countries (not just australia).
People dont want to talk about the existence of steam shills, steam uses fake grassroot efforts to make it seem like genuine interest
>>740307106If jannies are paid Tendie shill's they'll ackchually delete >>740307735
>>740288902is that a 4 pin electronic cable connector?
>>740288750We really don't shit on tendies enough
>>740288750>When did Valve turn corpo?>$14.99terminally online fanboys are often delusional. this is the real valve. always has been.
>>740288876You think people would do that? Use their vast wealth and spite to Astroturf vidya websites regularly to take the attention off them?Surely you jest. SURELY you jest.
>>740307921that's an engine block my guy
Valve makes kikes, tim, tims jeet hordes, and "vibe codets seeth Therefore Valve is based
>>740288876they think it's an own to "pc gamers" but in reality steam machine price increases doesn't affect normal pc gamers
>>740303187I mean GOG is dying because their service is terrible and most people realized their business model is a lie (They are still selling you licenses, can still ban you, and your only hope is that it's too inconvenient to sue you for retaining the installers if they ban you)
>>740308338ah, thank you. any type of engine in particular?
>>740308440I didn't know that.So that means there is still a space in the market for someone to actually sell you irrevocable copies of videogames digitally.
>>740288750>HAd plenty of years to get a steam deck.>Suddenly they now are raised in price.>NO MY HECKIN DESIRE TO BUY A STEAM DECK I DIDNT BUY! NO!
>>740309982Not until copyright law changes, or tumors like the provision that specifically makes bypassing digital locks a felony offense.
>>740310323What if you founded your company in some state that respects privacy laws like when The Pirate Bay moved to Tunisia?
>>740310436It literally doesn't matter, there's a reason the provision about breaking digital locks is a criminal offense rather than a civil one which most intellectual property disputes fall into.
>>740310549So the video game retailer would need to acquire specific, contractual rights from the developer to "own" the videogame, to permit distribution to a customer so that they could be allowed to "own" a copy?
>>740311151No, legitimately it does not matter, at all, if both the seller and the purchaser agree to the fact that a sale has been made (GOG doesn't but that's besides the point) since it was defined as a criminal infraction rather than a civil one.The only way to fix this would be to repeal the provision.
>>740306446>more impact on the industrylet's picture for a moment what would you be left with, if one or the other disappeared in an instant?What would there be if Epic and Unreal engine disappeared, and what if Valve and Steam disappeared?
>>740311420Wow, really throws out the window the old adage "possession is nine tenths of the law"
>>740288876It's a distraction tactic by billionaires and the party they fund. By making a thread every hour they keep you occupied and busy to notice that they are taking away more of your rights.
It's really funny just how many people publicly call out jews on social media these days. Barely anyone tries to defend them too.
>>740313530A lot of them are content farmers or larpers just trying to boost their views, using their usual category of content while saying dumb basic shit like "curse you netanyahu!!1!1" or spamming Hava Nagila. As soon as it's okay to be jewish again they'll instantly switch sides (again)
>>740308206You're posting something that's already post-valve downfall, see >>740305464Find an example of valve being scummy back during the half-life 1 days to make the argument they've always been shit.
>>740306654and you won?
