Corsair 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.

this

I’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.

Gape 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.

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.

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.

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 etc
soon 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

a 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.

Steam 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.

No, 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.
