What's with all the anti-Steam shilling now, is this a psyop?
>>741653705>nowAnyway, bought any cool games recently, OP?
I like steam, I just think the steam machine pricing is a joke and indefensible.
anything i don't like is a psyop
>if you criticism my corporation then it must be other company shilling or psyopcult mindset
Consumers are fighting back against greedy gabe
>>741653705>nowFags have been at it for years. Good thing the opinions of fags browns and poors doesn't matter.
>>741653705>steam announces the price of the gabebox>reviewers review the gabebox>talking about these means you are anti valve.
>>741653705No, people don't like steam. This has been a thing since steam first came around. You started to notice.
>>741653705>is this a psyop?Yes. Nexus of globalists mad they can't buy stock and control it because it's a private company, along with anti-corporation commies, along with SJW mad they can't extort Steam into censorship.
>>741653705>Nowuhmm sweaty... r/steam is 2 doors down
>>741653705t.
>>741653705I've been leaning anti-Steam ever since the CS2 gambling crisis kept getting worse.I don't know what it's like now, but I hope Valve still hasn't got its' head stuck in the sand.
Its a mix of actual paid shills by Epic Games (yes this is real as they had their shill slide get leaked) and a gaggle of raped consolefags desperately trying to stoke the flames of the console war.
snoys are forever buttmad about everything
Why are valve cultists afraid of criticism and accuse everyone of being in some conspiracy
>>741653705>nowRetards have been at it for many years despite Valve being the most consumer friendly company in the video game space.Pretty sure they are getting paid and if not that's very sad.
>>741653705No, it's people shitposting about new product.They were going to shitpost about it being $1 or more.People can't seem to help themselves not shitpost.
Gaped newell
>>741653705The GameCube is having a steam box 1 moment since the price is retarded.That's it.I don't think console PCs are gonna get super mainstream unless a PC maker can do a version of it and use Linux to cut the windows fee
>make absurd or retarded claim about steam>I don't think that's true>STEAMIE!1 STEAM CULTIST!!!! PCVEGAN!!!
>>741653705Nintendo sees Deck as an existential threat to Switch, so the usual pajeet brigade is doing anti-valve rounds.
>>741653705>hey guys why are people frustrated by steam at a brand new announcement that is a bad decision?
>>741653817when you are getting various 24/7 threads about ityes its shilling . same applies to games or anything sppamed here
>>741654629I'm so glad that I'm not a dense butt hurt Steamie!Piracy 4 life!
>>741653705You're asking the wrong question. Why would anyone defend Valve for anything they do? There is no way you actually enjoy Valve developed games enough to defend them like they're your best friend. >>741654629>steam machine being overpriced is a retarded claimSteamie. Steam Cultist. PC vegan even.
>>741654847>when you are getting various 24/7 threads about it>yes its shilling .So all these daily anti sony and Nintendo threads are shilling huh
>>741653705isn't /v/ always slurping anything related with steam/valve/gabe? you almost never see any negative threads when compared with playstation or nintendo
There is no such thing as a 'pcbro' or whatever. People buy/use things when it's good. And people don't buy/use when it's bad. For some reason, this boggles the mind of people who think Steam users suck Gabe's cock when they, in fact, don't. Also, the Steam Machine brand has to be cursed seeing this is the second time Valve's foray into PC hardware failed.
>>741654847I'll bite. What product am I shilling or promoting by criticizing Valve?
Jannies are unironically actually PAID for once by Valve to delete content criticizing Steam.
>>741653705Yes. Remember where we are & what was the leak about 2y ago.
>>741655009>Why would anyone defend Valve for anything they do?You retards keep conflating being called out for retarded or outright false claims with the poster being a fanboy.>shitpost OP about how steam user fund gabe flying out to epstein island to rape kids>OP I'm pretty sure that never happened>queue meltdown until bump where OP calls everyone in the thread a steam cultist for not believing some shit he made up
>>741655121>isn't /v/ always slurping anything related with steam/valve/gabeYup. They're universally glazed by fans and the media for everything they do. The only place valve criticism exists is /v/.
Gabecube is shit, get over it trannies
>>741653705It's Tim Weeney causing trouble again.
>>741655148Poverty™ by Poors.®
>>741655121>you almost never see any negative threads when compared with playstation or nintendoHave you been in a coma? Any time I pop on /v/ during my lunch break there is a dozen or so spammed threads about steam being the anti-christ of gaming. Its been going on since 2020 or something.
>>741653705Poorfag incels are seething
>>741653705None of the anti-Steam shilling is honest. It is all bait at end of the day.The real question is why people get hard when they get (You)s to begin with.
>>741655363September 2023, when Steamies Schizo got VAC banned and became unable to trade his portfolio of CSGO "stocks."
>>741655363Really? All I see is this place sucking Steam off consistently.
>>741653705My contempt with steam has been growing. Half the games sold on the platform are bugged to shit (usually patched on gog btw), and I hate the 30% cut even though I'm not a dev, seems shitty for indies. Kinda been switching to gog slowly
>>741655242>everyone who criticizes steam is a liar
>>741655531>think of the people who hate you! they're not getting paid enough!
STEAM IS A MONOPOLY AND WILL BE FORCED TO APPEAR IN COURT
>>741655508Proof? Would be fucking hilarious if true.
>>741655615>>think of the people who hate you!You mean like Gabe, he funds democrats who hate you and castrate children
>oh my god is that a drop of blood in the water?? time to bust out the hecking sojyak memes and trannies!!!I hate the current internet culture so much
>>741655148why are you so retarded?just because you aren't saying "this other product is better" doesn't mean you aren't shilling by trying to hurt a the competitionwhich i dont give a fuck i'm just tired of all the shill spam herejust shit on valve nintendo microshit or sony i dont give a fuck. just learn to keep things in a single thread if you aren't a shill
>>741655794Hey stramie, can you at least wait until something happens before playing the victim card?
You have to realize that .01% of 4chan posters make the majority of threads. All it takes is one faggot with a chip on his shoulder and he will dedicate his life to shifting the public opinion of whatever the fuck pissed him off. I wouldn't be surprised if all the threads spammed about valve/steam are the same 3 posters pissed because they got VAC banned or trade banned.
>>741654893if you can pirate on that thing, I'm buying one yesterday
>>741655882You'll survive.
Rothschild tongue my anus.
>>741653705>>>>>>>>nowholy shit anon, have you completely recover from the coma?
>>741655728I'm just here to buy games. But you say I should make my own experience (which is what matters, since I am the most important person here) worse to support the developers that hate white men.I buy from Steam because it's the best option. Going out of my way to use worse options to help my enemies is not how I roll.
>>741655041so you are still a kid?yes if you get a bunch of retards to shittalk about your company you are still getting attention which its good for most business
You idolatrist clowns deserve all of the static you are currently getting, and then some. Get this through your head, you motherfucker, you: Gabe is not your friend. Valve is not your friend. The multi-billion dollar company is NOT your friend.
>>741655909>tranime complains about spam
>>741656057It's the best store. That's what matters. I don't want the best store shut down or harmed because then I'd have to use shitty stores.It's literally that simple.
>>741654893steam is the most piratefriendly platform ever to exist tho...
>>741656046>worse to support the developers that hate white men.Valve does you dumbass, you can pirate instead of supporting valve who are woke
>>741655930>wanting to pirate PC games and console games on a Steam Machine!You're an absolute madman!
>>741655965i know, enjoy the next meal glad i could help you pay for it
>>741653705Jews are upset because a Rothschild lose a lawsuit against Valve.That's literally all there is to it.

>>741656061Ahneem website.>>741656163>can't readValve provides the best service, so I DON'T CARE. I drink Coke despite all their political bullshit, because Coke is good. I'm not drinking RC and being miserable because Coke likes BLM.

>>741653705mostly (You) addictsterrible, terrible state of mind
>>741655515I'm on the catalog right now and there are 12 anti-Valve/Steam threads.So you're either lying or retarded.Who am I kidding, we're on /v/, it's both.
>>741655891stramie? that's the best thing you managed to come up with?
>>741656129And I thank you for funding my hobby
>>741656254gog is fucking dogshit though, and not friendly to anything...They can't even distribute linux versions and original versions of the games they sell... literally worse than epic store lmao
>>741653705The sirs do as their masters demand.
>>741656193This is a passion for me. I don't take any payments.
>>741656519but, I'm not gaben...
>>741656496Would you prefer PC vegan?
>>741654168Indeed. Valve treats their games like shit and the only thing stopping them from getting enough flack to fix their games is their good reputation by steam and fandoms being allergic to constructive criticism.
>>741653705>now
>>741653705People love valve but GOD DAMN that steam machine pricing is completely fucked, in any way imaginable Who is the target audience for a 1350$ prebuilt?
>>741656057best store, best games, best refund policies - I don't care what Gabe does in his free time, I don't care about his money. He's literally providing the best product + service on the planet - nothing else comes close.What fuckin friendship - I got Darktide for 3 bucks ;dd
>>741656261>best serviceIts funny keep saying this despite being a worse service than Nintendo/sony/Microsoft No physical discs work, games region locked, sold multiple malware games, no curating what your store sells so mostly trash, scammers constantly try to add you if you have workshop items, many old games dont work and you have to make them work yourself while all Nintendo games workLike what is so great about this service that i myst worship a company for
>>741656851games are region locked everywhere
>>741656851>Worse service than microsoftYou are kidding right?
>>741656851>games region locked,Wasn't this because people wouldn't stop using a VPN to buy shit for pennies via an ip located in third world nations?
>>741656261>best service>can't own your games
>>741656992Gamepass is better deal than steam, you don't get to own games either way but xbox gives you more games to play at a cheaper price
>>741655213they should've rangebanned you for being a giant faggot
>>741656827Anyone who wants a gadget that works like a PC & all consoles simultaneously. A thing that fits in a handbag, a backpack, can connect to anything, anywhere, has the specs to run everything ever (it does, idk about the meme resolutions) - an all-in-one basically, that fits around the TV. 2TB SSD for 1500 bucks is a steal, considering just the 1TB part is 200, nevermind the other specs (AMD Ryzen 7600 @4.8/5.3Ghz, 16GB RAM, 8GB VRAM)It's a goddamn bargain, and you know it.
>another thread filled with "dont own the games" lies because the paid posters have no arguments against steamsad

>>741657090>what is offline backupGoddamn, you are stupid
>>741657090I own all the games I have.https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steambut the ones on this list I own extra hard.
>>741657313>what is offline backupOffline backup is something different from owning your games. Good question. >>741657556That's just a list of DRM free games which would be a different thing from a list of Steam games you can own, because DRM and ownership aren't related at all.
>>741653797>>741653885>>741654079>>741654276>>741656018>>741656820>">now"yes, now, even if there was steam hate before, it's definitely become waaay more frequent during the past month or so, noticeably soI use gog
>>741654893pirating would not be as easy as it is today without steam lmfao. i don't think you understand how much you take for granted of clean steam files.
>>741657102>you don't own the game so you should pay a monthly subscription to play gamesdie
>>741659089Gamepass is a yearly sub
>>741659403ok? i'm not paying a fucking subscription to play video games
>>741658918>pirating would not be as easy as it is today without steamEspecially GOG!If you go to /t/, you can actually see a thread where people can download the GOG collection torrent that's over 1 TB of games!
>>741658839Maybe because, I don't know, the Deck and now Machine prices are laughably bad??Just a thought anon
>>741659089Monthly subscription to play shit ton of games that would cost thousands to buy on steamBetter deal
>>741659965you are genuinely cattle, just fucking pirate the games
their shit box finally released and there are threads about ityou fags are like apple loyalists who only buy apple products or vegans who always need to ask "DOES IT WORK WITH STEAM DECK?!?!" "LOOK AT MY STEAM DECK!!"like fuck off loser as i said before, we aren't getting hardware progress for 5-10 years. games have stagnated and stalled and the shit we see now is what we will see in the next 5 years
>>741660039>ou are genuinely cattleSaid the valve defender Just pirate why you using steam
>>741660039>just fucking pirate the gamesThis but pirating steam
>>741660295>just let these companies know you are ok with paying a subscription to play video games, no no they would NEVER make you pay more history has never shown us thisadvocating for that should get you killed
How badly do you think the Frame's price is gonna be affected? I mean obviously it's gonna be impacted to some degree, but it's gonna be using mobile/ARM hardware, so one would hope that its parts maybe aren't as in-demand by AI cockgobblers as the Deck's and Machine's parts are?
>>741658839I want to know what's caused the boom in steam shilling over the years it's pathetic
>>741653705Literally yes. You do understand that the other large video game distribution companies are SEETHING about Valve, right? So now they're trying to get people to shit on steam.
>>741660498This but advocating and paying for the steam machine and steam deck
>>741653705Too many people have been obnoxious about the cube and now it is only natural that the people they annoyed become in turn obnoxious when the thing they just couldn't stop talking about turns out to be absolute terrible value as anyone who isn't a terminal drone or shitposter had seen coming from a mile away.
>>741658839>>741661086>>741659804its because two people got triggered over the steam being good.one is some faggot farming to post memes on some shithole, the other is a pajeet on a decade old dell laptop
>>741661146Actually what you're seeing is real consumer outrage over a ridiculously priced piece of completely optional hardware. And we're not really mad, we're laughing watching you defend it.
>>741653705>shitting on a big corporation>"shilling"retard op doesnt know what words are
>>741657090>don't careI'm not poor, so I don't buy/sell used shit except houses.
>>741653705I'm just mad at their arbitrary game review/rejection process. Mary's having a bad day = you're fucked with no formal appeals process.
>>741661295whatever hopes you cope anon
>>741661295No, steam machine, steam controller, and steam deck is facing actual consumer rage over the very real anti consumer price points. Real people are furious over it.
>>741658918pirating was easier without steam because devs back then actually released patches, now you have to hunt a dozen different piracy sites to see which one has the most recent versionalso thanks to steam you now have early access slop that will never get finished instead of smaller scope games
>>741661558>Mary's having a bad day = you're fucked with no formal appeals process.My theory has always been that Valve's review process is so arbitrary because they have to comply with payment processor's bible of acceptable vs unacceptable content guidelines.
>>741661497Good to know.
>>741653705/v/ is finally turning on Steam and Nintendo after decades of non-stop dicksucking. It's beautiful. Sony and Microsoft already lost all credibility.
Contrarianism.90% of what /v/ says can be explained with contrarianism.
>>741661696if only they just said that instead of having zero communication like always
>>741661646What kind of faggot rages because his toy is too expensive
>>741661854I would be more concerned with "why does criticism towards a corporation personally offend me"
>>741661803Yeah it should be transparent but CC processors are so scummy that I would also believe they try to ensure their influence is never shown to the plebeians. A decade ago paypal did the same shit with erotic literature and when people protested they said they were getting orders from Visa/MC and then those guys got fucking pissed when people started fucking with them until they capitulated.
>>741653705I have personally been waiting for the downfall of Valve for a long time now and this is coming from a person who was a huge fan of them and owns 1K games on Steam.>but why anon? Why would you wish this on based Valve?Why? Let's see>As soon as i get tired of Basedny and their increasing prices and censorship of video games and decide to move to Steam, they also start censoring video games>btw, if your video game gets denied for the first time, they will stop working with you and you'll never be able to submit new video game to them ever again>They fucked up TF2 with shitty matchmaking update in hopes to turn TF2 into "epic new esports thing" which failed awfully and they never fixed it, TF2 got also infested with bots which Valve ignored for years and was only dealt with once like 90% TF2 players started making a huge noise about it and fanboys clapped for doing bear minimum, matchmaking still fucked btw>Their forums are controlled by hungry power jannies who ban you for anything someone might find offensive or hurt their feelings>Troons in their ads
>>741657090You never own your games if you buy them digitally because devs can send an update that removes or censors stuff from the game they own. See Skullgirls and Final Fantasy
>>741662731>both can be rolled back
>>741653705Steam/Valve has recently annoyed two demographic groups known for pissing and shitting everywhere (one figuratively, other literally). You can draw your own conclusions from there.
>>741662731And all other gaming systems are always offline and would never update your game, right?Sorry dude, that particular ship left over a decade ago, not just a Steam issue
>>741655909For me it was when they started censoring video games, they removed my custom name tags from my weapons in TF2, removed my profile avatar and name and never told me the reason why, what exactly was offensive or bad in them? The weird thing about the avatar was that first time it got reported, Valve removes it, then i appeal it, they say it was a mistake on their part, apologize and i add it back. Someone reports it again, they remove it again, appeal it again and they once again apologize. Add it back and then once again removed, this time won't let me have it back for whatever reason and its banned for good and i get avatar change ban for a day. One of the weirdest and probably the shittiest service support i have seen.
>>741662115They should have made their own payment processor like DLsite instead of buying a yacht fleet then.
>>741653705Tim Sweeney secured some more funding from China
>>741653705barry is upset about the steam machine update
>>741663152Post the name and avatar, evil tiger
>>741653705What because they released a badly priced PC outdone by 2020 hardware? I was actually considering a Steam Machine at one point if it had decent performance and wasn't too expensive. It's just the truth that it sucks.Steam's still fine. Looking forward to the summer sale.
>>741661613>>741661646oh look there they are now
>>741653705They won a case against the rothschilds.
>>741653705Releasing a disappointing product gives you bad rep. Same happened with Nintendo for the switch 2 and Sony for the pro.
>>741663152post the avatar
>why are people noticing things?? STOP NOTICING THINGS, YOU ARENT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT IT!!! SHUT UP!!! WAAAH!!!sounds like liberals when it comes to black murderers
>>741663437There is nothing wrong with criticizing anti consume practices
>>741663543What did they release that's disappointing?
>>741653705No one is shilling you're just coping.
>>741653705liberalism is weaponized envy
>>741663769then why do you bitch and whine when we criticize your anti-consumer practices of lying and seething over steam existing?
>>7416631941. DLsite is tiny and won't rock the boat by making their own processor2. DLsite is using a japanese banking system to bypass the duopolyIf Valve wanted to attempt the same thing they would need an American bank which is not involved with either Visa or MC. The reality of the scenario is that the current duopoly needs to be broken up. But they own the American government with lobbying and the Patriot Act effectively deputized the two into being allowed to and encouraged to censor shit.
>>741653705So you didn't smell the huge steaming pile of shit they took this afternoon?
>>741663785Cube got cucked by ram prices and is at least 300 bucks too expensive to create positive feedback.
>>741663639>>741663331Can't. It was pony related but i can try to describe it. It was two pony asses Pinkie Pie's and Rainbow Dash's asses both sides and gigachad in the middle of it and the ponies were pressing their asses on gigachads face but cropped so that it didn't show their pussies and assholes. Again, this was the avatar they apologized for removing for two fucking times and third was when they decided it was actually inappropriate and decided to give one day avatar ban.
>>741663848Sure I'll bite. What did I lie about?
>>741664203>saaaaaaar tell me for the 10,000,000 time how I liedThanks for proving my point :)
>>741653705Because people actually like Steam because they offer a cheap and convenient service, which is antithetical to their current strategy which is putting out ridiculously expensive products which are useful to no one.
>>741664152>pinkie pie's and rainbow dash's assesWhy you trying to turn me on in a anti-Steam thread? Fuck you.
>>741664152What about the names?
>>741653705HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
>>741664152hahaha you deserved it
>>741664152>>741663152> they removed my custom name tags from my weapons in TF2, removed my profile avatar and nameI haven't checked Steam's rules in a long time but they probably got rules that you shouldn't be posting anything offensive or rude anywhere. In the end, the biggest problem is always the trigger happy people who will happily report everything they don't like or find offensive. We could have so much more freedom if these "people" did not exist in our society.
It's jeets and retards over at Twitter malding over the AI filter.
>>741664231Good talk.
>>741664250>ridiculously expensive products which are useful to no onewhat the fuck did you say about gaben machine you anti-steam shill???
>>741664579Oh good you agreed :)
>>741664631Not at all.
>>741653705They're finally installing an AI slop filter to their store so the full might of India was unleashed against them.
>>741653705GOG is better than Steam.
>>741659965I can play the games I bought on Steam next year. You can't.
>>741664152Deserved. Based steam shitting on bronies.
>>741664647Ahhhhh there he goes proving my point again!Thanks for agreeing once more
I don't even see people defending the price.I do see a dozen threads trying to consolewar over it combined with actual steam users being confused who the fuck the gabe cube is for.
>>741664503>In the end, the biggest problem is always the trigger happy people who will happily report everything they don't like or find offensiveI do this in games, especially TF2. Everytime i see someone who does better than me, is really good in the game or i find them annoying, i go to their Steam profile and try to find something i could report: their name, avatar, whole profile, Steam group, screenshots, artwork, comments etc. If not Steam profile, then the in-game chat and report those. God bless Valve for making the reporting system so easy.
>>741653705I'm mad Gaben didn't give me a RTX5090 and 64GB of DDR5 Ram for $600.
>>741664703>>741664579
>>741653705I'm sure Timmy sends his dogs here. notice how all they do is criticize? they never prop up anyone else because they know steam is the best store at the end of the day. neither epic nor gog offer a better service at the end of the day
>>741664131They released it?

>>741655531>and I hate the 30% cut even though I'm not a devthat's right, you're a retard instead. the big 3 console manufacturers also have a 30% cut and yet I don't see them being criticized for it
>>741665035bless you for your gening skills anon
>>741665064>don't care about any of that shit>still no better store than Steam
>>741665064But enough about Nintendo
>>741665064>goes nu uh when people tell them valve is the reason lootboxes exist and tried to get paid mods to take offThe former was EA back with the Fifa games (you can google their tech conference where they talk about how profitable it is to other publishers) and the latter was pushed by Bethesda.

>>741665064Why do the antis act like steam has fans. Steam has users who buy games on their platform. Steam doesnt push a new steam machine out every 6 months to fleece people. Literally nobody defends them for pushing lootboxes. Theres no competition because nobodys willing to provide a simple customer focused service.This is the fundamental thing you antis either dont understand or are told not to understand. People dont like steam because of the brand, they like it because it offers a decent service with no bullshit. No subscriptions, no daily log ins. Its a store front, and one that so far hasnt given people a reason to leave
>>741653705They won a lawsuit against the Rothschilds for patent trolling.I am not joking.

>>741653705Two groups. Rothschild's shabbos goy sue to the "monopoly" lawsuit that fell through and recently poors hoping the gabecube would be less than half the price.
>>741665547>Steam sucks>I can't compare it to anything else, but I know it sucks>>741665556It's disingenuous arguing. If you use Steam, you must care about an old Valve game that only slavs play and gamble on. You must care about the hardware. You can't be, you know, actually playing games; because that doesn't give consolepoors a point of reference (since consoles have no games).>>741665625Show me where to buy Pragmata for PC on those stores.
>>741665715>recently poors hoping the gabecube would be less than half the price.They're under investigation for being a monopoly in numerous countries. Even if they wanted to subsidize (they don't), they wouldn't because it would be fuel for a monopoly fire.
>>741665556Nah, you would be able to handle criticism towards steam better if that was your real position.

>>741653705browns and poors
>>741653705It's an astroturfed microjeet operation. They've been consensus breaking for a while, and a lot of retards are genuinely falling for it. Imagine giving a shit about companies to this extent. It's akin to sportsfaggotry, but at least obsessing over sports teams has some merit culturally.
>>741665929Doing better than retards loyal to Steam at least.
>>741665767You as consumer can't buy a physical copy of pragmata for you computer from retail because Gabe Newell determined he wouldn't publish that for you. The reason he made that decision is because this saves him money.
>>741665808>literally replies with "no, you"Not sending the best they have, are they
>>741666160Well, Both are great! I would use Steam over Playstation, nintendo, and so on.
>>741666116Microsoft benefits from Steam, as the lion's share use Windows. Microsoft also doesn't care if you legally use Windows or not as an end user, as long as you're using it.>>741666180Gabe Newell released Pragmata? It's a Valve game? Or are you just a lying faggot?Also, imagine using discs in 2026 like an Amish person.

microsoft and epic coming after gabens sweet tits
>>741666070This. To rub salt in the wound, if you did buy your games on GoG, you can still play them on your steam deck.Steam has its own annoying problems, but there really is no platform with as much freedom and flexibility.
>>741666257yeah, you can, but you will never own it. Why bother buying them at the store when downloading it from the playstation client would be sufficient. You just buy $70 physical paperweight containing the game key code.
>>741666268You're a VERY silly boy! VERY silly!
console niggers (tendies) are spooked because PC and by extension Steam is now the primary platform for every third party game
>>741666210Average or even bad is more than enough to handle a rabid steam fanboy such as yourself.
>>741666334Isn't that more a benefit than a detriment?
>>741666268The ‘precious liquid’ coming from Gabe's tits would probably be worth around $50 million per ounce.

Steam cultists are annoying because they pretend to be above console tribalism meanwhile they are the most zealous of them all. Not even tendies are obsessed with defending Nintendo’s honor as Steamies are defending valve
>>741661646Steam controller is greatSteam machine is getting cucked by AINobody cares about Steam DeckThere is no consumer rage, /v/ is the only place talking about it and everyone else just dgaf and is just enjoying the Next Fest stuff
>>741666656I don't care about your opinion, snoygger
>>741666254>Gabe Newell released Pragmata?No pragmata is a movie game made by Capcom. Gabe makes purchasable skin buying similators. >Or are you just a lying faggot?What did I lie about? 3rd parties can publish games. It's completely normal.
>>741666723Cute but I haven’t purchased a Snoy machine since the vita
741666656damn you were close thereno yous though
>>741666492>>741666504>>741666540>>741666630You guys are dumb and you're gay!
>>741666469A benefit to both sure. I can't think of any other platform that lets you play games from another platform through it. You can have your steam overlay in basically any game, if you just import it as a non-steam game. That's confident power, and what I meant by rubbing salt in the wound
>>741666715>Steam machine is getting cucked by AIEveryone is getting cucked by AI desu. Only the nation state and tranny national capital can bypass the restrictions.
>>741653705>Steam wins in court against Jews.>Suddenly, /v/ get tons of threads shitting on Steam.Curious....
>>741666812>triggered by something so trivial pathetic
>>741666379No you own it. It's physical, but it carries all the negatives of digital, such as the downloading service has a chance of expiring some time down the road.

>>741666923sure
>>741666390>console niggers (tendies) are spooked because PC and by extension Steam is now the primary platform for every thirdI did not expect your sentence to end with anything other than "world country"
>>741666741>movie gameIt's like 95% action and you're poor.>What did I lie about?You said Gabe had something to do with Pragmata not being on a shitty piece of plastic. That's a lie. Lies are things that aren't true.>>741666812>female reaction image (this is literally me reacting)>calls someone else gay>>741666964>Nintendo conspicuously absent despite game key cards and price increase
>>741666857Yeah. The funny thing about the Steam Deck is that it's strictly an upgrade for most of the Steam userbase. The most common card was a 3060 in the hardware report but that's misleading since it's less than half a percent. The reality is most people have a weaker PC than what the Steamdeck is. Had it come out at $700 it would have been a great deal for most people like that who just want to upgrade to continue playing at 1080p but now get 60fps in your average title.

>>741667150Explain it then. No memes, no bait, gives us your genuine reasons. They haven't been laid out without a heavy cream of seethe before, so it would be novel to see you do it.
>>741654041to be fair timmy there probably had a blast with whatever games and consoles were out 10 years from 1999. things only truly went to shit mid 2010s

>>741654041correct.
>>741667323SteamMachine released today, with signups to a reservation raffle to avoid scalpers and such. Should be purchaseable next week
>>741667130People love to bring this up as a gotcha, but they forget that you can just make steam accounts on anything. There's no barrier for entry, and it affects results. I knew a guy who bought a chromebook to use Steam on, then got mad because it couldnt run Borderlands 2> Wow! PCfags and Steamies don't all overspend on gaming machines! They don't have hardware as powerful as my mighty PS5!But then bring up the price points for PC being ridiculously high right now compared to consoles.> Wow! PCfags and Steam Cultists spend huge amounts on PC's! Those fuckin idiots! Why pay that much when you can get lower performance on my Movie Streaming Console?
>NOOOOO! Why does a Ferrari cost so much?!?!? It should cost the same as other cars, like a Toyota Corolla!
Everyone shut the fuck upPost your current specs with a timestamp
>>741666989He just needs to go into settings and enable console sharing and offline play. That way it only checks every few months so it won't matter if your power goes out unexpectedly.
>>741666861Don't forget Steam discontinuing physical gift cards. Some of /v/'s residents probably lost their source of income because of that.
>>741667381Your syntax is as foul as your turdtint>>741667392No, you're just injecting your own retarded faggotry into it. Get real nigger
>>741667512I don't see how your anecdote matters, they survey people who play games and most of them try to game on shitty hardware. Also who mentioned PS5?

Nothing really else other than pokemon coming out next year. There's no drama either, just the palworld lawsuitt.Steam and pc gaming is quite literally the only thing relevant. It works and people just need something relevant to shit on. lolcows are boring cause everybody knows they're shit anyway
>>741667638It doesn't really. Just something I've seen a lot of recently. People use the hardware surveys to argue both sides, and it just so happens to almost always be in favour of the ps5
>>741655728>donation amount>660 dollarsDo you have any idea how little that is to these people?

>>741669381Valve wants to be anti consumer and deny their userbase ownership rights to save money. That's their prerogative.
>>741669607Apparently, PC gamers would rather play games than "own" them. I guess when consoles can only do 15fps at 540p, playing games seems out of reach for you.

Steam has always been fucking garbage and now that it's weaker more people are jumping on it, as they should.

>>741653705Steam is popular and well liked by gamers, and so people who are terminally online eventually become upset at seeing it so often and reflexively turn against it. Anyone who has been in this space for a long time has seen the pattern play out many times. A given developer becomes popular by doing the things that forum gamers say they want, until they become a little too popular and suddenly every step they make needs to be unduly criticized. They'll say something blatantly false, you'll correct it, and they'll reply with their canned meme about the guy saying "leave the corporation alone" or whatever. It's the same ~10 mostly scripted bot replies and arguments every time.

Same reason people hated Apple decades back when it had a weird community obsessed with buying everything Apple.Valve drones are the new Apple fanatics
>>741669846>>i've posted physical manuals that say the same thingIt's because Valve is lying to save face and their consumers follow suit like you did just now. Valve would have you believe it's just the nature of media and that's just how things work and always has. That way you won't look deeper and figure out you don't own your games because Valve made a choice.

>>741669846It's a mistake to try and speak rationally to people here. Most aren't here to rationally engage with anyone, they don't even like or play video games, their hobby is shitposting and trying to get a good screencap for their discord to spam emojis at. Those few who don't fall into that category are mostly third worlders who barely speak the language, or actual retards.

Bunch of greedy jews!>yes, sony did raise the price of PSN for the 10th time this year. What about it?>valve hasn't made games in years!>OMG REMAKES OF 30 YEAR OLD GAMES THAT ARE OBJECTIVELY WORSE!
/v/ has had a Steam shilling problem since the early days, and OP wasn't to be so retarded to call anything even mildly critical of Steam as anti-steam "shilling"either a drone or a no-shit shill thread. some of the grammar looks like there might be some indians working overtime for Valve in here

>>741653705No, but you pretending the hate is about Steam and not about current hardware prices might be a psyop.
>>741675925If they have a problem wth how much Valve charges, they are free to not publish their games on Steam. Nobody points a gun at them and force them to do that.
