Is it finally over? is the tyranny of the Volvobongos finished?

Not true, he didn't invent license ownership, that's just a small lie he tells to hide the bigger truth that the reason you don't own steam games is a choice he made as a publisher.

Steam Machine is going to sell out on day 1 btw
Is anyone but third worlders fooled by this anti steam shit that has been spammed on this board since microsoft failed to purchase it? Honest question, has anyone stopped using steam?
Its like every month some new gaming sin gets attributed to Gabe. By 2027 he will be the defacto anti-christ of gaming according to /v/, like that time he built a time machine mega yacht to instill the concept of gacha in ancient japanese people.
>>741680321how many are they going to make? Probably liek 500k
>>741680321Not that hard to sell out of one unit anon
...
>>741679930Capcom invented most of that also I've refunded tons of crap it's basically instant
>>741680427/v/ would rather spend all day crying about console wars than play a fucking video game.
>>741680363Why does a tranime always come into every thread and grandstand about board meta?
>>741679930He also defended AI and said if you don't use it you will, and deserve to be, left behind. Yet tards are then turning around and excusing the price due to Gaben being le-victim of AI despite he being a major supporter
>>741680469Why don't you answer a simple question?
>mfw someone dares to say mean things about daddy valve

>>741680430Refunds are bullshit once you step out of the 2 hours range, getting a refund even for valid reasons is impossible.A game I bought when I had an Nvidia GPU straight up didn't work because of a broken RTX implementation on an AMD card I upgraded to a month after, I requested a refund with 10 hours played because it's literally fucking unplayable on AMD cards and I was told to pound sand.
>>741680505I don't engage in discussions with tranimes.
/qa/ lost
Christ were getting all the old paid anti-valve spam from the past several months all at once
>>741679930>Nintendo Direct, Sony Bing Bong Live, and Xbox Gawkathon all reveal nothing but straight bung hole tier for the foreseeable year of gaming>Gabe Cube is slightly overpriced for the specs because of a ram shortage>Q-quick, get the threads up, gaming needs a boogie man that conveniently isn't publicly traded on the stock marketI'm nooticing
>>741680369cope
>>741680228They really do be like this
>>741679930Literally no one but consolefags give a shit about steam cube. PChads already have PCs and their support has already gotten Gabe as far as he is.

>>741679930i will keep using steam and there is nothing you can do about it
>>741680363let me consult the Steam Charts™
>>741680689Nobody will acknowledge this btw
>>741680748And I thank /qa/ for giving me such a strong weapon to use against you, but your assumption is off. I've been here longer than you. I would say "cutesy" and "moeshit" andbI did this for years. Then I started saying "tranime" around 2020 because 1. That's when that word was invented, I couldn't possibly say it any earlier. And 2. its more effective at pissing you off. But I know logic isn't your strongsuit so probably in one ear and out the other. 4chan isn't your safespace. Moot was a normie.
>>741680228It is kinda funny that GoG is objectively better for consumers in every way and their reward is people using them for easy piracy

You think>shit if I watch anime I'll be brainwashed into cutting my cock offYou're so easily influenced. The fact you use tranime is a perfect example of this. It sounds retarded and you are retarded. Again it makes you look like a retard you are self selecting as a retard.I hope you get better.
>>741681005>Moot was a normieNta but this isn't really true, he was clearly a weeb.

The steaming pile of shit machine got raped and gaped.

Is that a negative thread about valve/steam?! Don't worry GabeN; I'm on the front line!
it's okay when nintendo does it

>>741680363the thing is, steam is right there, they could spend money and copy it but they won't because they want all of steams market without any effort, they won't put ANY features into their apps and some games LITERALLY use steam forums because they have no recourse to post anywhere else, even though they aren't steam games.

>>741682246I wholeheartedly agree. I remember a mod where someone made having gaybin saying "gaybin! gaybin! gaybin! thanks!"
I saw posts on twitter/reddit from steam cultists saying we should all be buying the steam machine because GabeN DESERVES a second yacht since he is singlehandedly saving gaming. No, not just PC gaming. All of gaming.I am completely serious.

>>741679930left to right faggot your not american
>>741682632the truth is that you're never going to get rid of DRM completely.when steam was opened to more games, the 'competition' was physical DRM.that shit made denuvo look like it trusted you.its either steam's "go online about five or four times a year?" DRM or hyper invasive & outright insulting DRM that makes you WANT to pirate purely out of principle. your choice.
>Steam DRMha yes...
>>741683026>when steam was opened to more games, the 'competition' was physical DRM.Most PC games just had a security key and that was it. Starforce was the most popular DRM and it was only on like 3 games.
>>741680462Console wars is a low IQ brain activity. It requires no cognitive power and makes the tribal "us vs them" part of stupid peoples cerebrum happy and engaged.Console war retards are the beta funko pop collectors of 4chan.Low intelligence indicator activity.

You want big corp to win when their services don't serve you properly.Minimum wage spamming sentiment isn't worth the amount of effort it takes to come up with new arguments, even if you don't care about what you're posting, your efforts will be your life long memories. Instead of putting effort into anything that's important to you, you are spending it on pro corporate investment businesses while getting nothing for yourself.

>>741683257And how many games did that again?
>>741682135GOG still doesn't have something like Sonic Generations or Sonic Transformed.
LMAO you wish. Expect at least another decade of Valvesimping even if Valve releases another dozen failures.
hell, not even REZ is on GOG.
I like all the little consolefag seethe, actually. It's kinda cute, especially when they come from consoles with no games and this is all they can do. It just all looks to be very feminine.

>>741683520Thanks for the kek. And yeah, the Steam Deck price hike has shown how much hypocrisy was rampant among rabid Valvefags. And now it happened again with the Cube a month later.
>>741681727I'm not mad at anime. I watch anime all the time. I'm mad at tranime spam on 4chan, ie a grown adult man who LARPs as a cartoon woman. Especially when they have a negative tone or are judgemental of other people. You wouldn't take a dressing down from a literal transgendered person, would you? That's how I feel about tranime spam.
>>741679930why you didn't support the good guys?
>>741679930how much do they pay you for posting these all day every day?
>>741683682Ohhhh that looks pretty good.But thing is, I use Steam less and less everyday. The only reason I play on PC is for emulators and sometimes Minecraft.The only game I play on Steam is TF2, and it's for a specific server. Once that server dies, it's over. I might delete steam lol.
>>741683864How much does Steam pay you to defend it online every day?
>>741683520>consolewar shitstains have standardsYou are beyond retarded, sorry
>>741683520Seeing steamniggers making excuses for the state that TF2 is in really pisses me off so much dude.
Fuck steam.

>>741683957it's the only fps from 2007 and even from the 7th generation that is still active to this day.
>>741680363You can smell the fear coming from the anti-Steam shills as we commit the horrible crime of doing absolutely nothing and yet somehow winning

While console fags were fighting over stupid shit, Steam fags are the most responsible for the death of physical media.
>>741684081nice damage control dude, consolenigs will continue mocking steamfags regardless if you deflect or gaslight.
>>741681005>Moot was a normie.You had to be an aspie to like anime in the 2000's, and you had to be a turbo autist to make an English version of a Japanese website so you can discuss anime easier.
I honestly don't get the weird hate for steam on this board. Its one of the only gaming companies that actually was good to talk to support with. When my steam deck got drift last year they were very respective to my messages and got it fixed in less than 2 weeks when I shipped it and had no issues with it since than.
>>741684252Xbox is dead so the console wars are over, the summer kiddies need something to shitfling over or the board is too "boring".
>>741684252Rather than hate Steam it is more like they hate their fans for all the mockery and it now finally is their turn to be shat on.
>>741680098Holy fucking shit, Gaben just flew over my house.

>>741684336Ya thats valid ive done my fair share of shit throwing at Tendies so everyone gets their licks. Does suck since I was looking forward to the steam machine but I already got an pretty decent pc. Would of more been nice for playing in the living room same reason I like the steam deck to relax on the bed.
>Work tirelessly day and night on Tim Sweeney's billion dollar money-making machine>He fires you without a second thought because moneyhttps://www.epicgames.com/site/news/todays-layoffs?lang=en-US
you know what? I'll say it:Fuck Valve.They have let TF2 bot crisis until a contractor that they hired for the steam deck worked on the anti-cheat on his week-ends.they killed Quickplay for esport garbage and instead of reverting the changes.they left the game to rot because they couldn't assume their mistake.fuck them and I hope tim "tv remote muncher" sweeney rape him to death in court.
>>741684252i literally just think its half ironic shitposting and rage bait and its half paid shills who genuinely believe crusading against evil gaben on a mongolian basket weaving forum is going to turn people away from steamunironically consolewars threads in 2014 were funnier
>>741679930Unironically Steam has been one of the best gateways into PC gaming compared to anything else. There's been plenty of top tier sales over the years even if they're generally not as good as they used to be. I'm sure lots of /v/ anons have good memories from games they played which were bought on Steam.It's still funny to me that there's doom posting that Steam is gonna steal all of your games some day lmao.
>>741680820the funny thing is how old this image is and it still makes people mad to this day People also don't realize valve didn't start doing refunds until they got sued :^)
>>741684583Consolewar was at it best during the 5th, 6th, and 7th generation.Anything else deserve the bottom of hell.

>>741680820Such is the power of public goodwill. Valve has got it still, while basically all other gaming studios and publishers have lost it.Maybe it's just good PR, but the fact is that vast majority of gamers don't dislike Valve nearly as much as any other gaming-related company, many of which people outright hate.
>>741686251
>>741686294>United States
>>741686276The vast majority of gamers aren't buying this overpriced cube either similar to how the vast majority of gamers made the Switch 2 the best selling console in history. Outside of your internet circles, no one really cares.
>Nintendo/Sony/etc. extort gamers directly, gamers cry and seethe>Steam extorts gamers by proxy by extorting developers, gamers are happy and think they're getting a good deal from "sales" because they're retarded cattle, and they can't imagine an alternative to Steam to because it's a monopoly that (illegally) prohibits price competition

>tendies and snoys constantly tell people to "just pirate" instead of giving Valve any money>but they simultaneously despise emulation and piracy and demand that people pay inflated prices for NSO and PSN so they can rent games temporarily
>>741685161>>741686073>FatlusStill around and porting their games to Steam.>Bandai Merged with Namco, also started porting games to Steam starting with Dark Souls.>BethesdaSold to Microsoft for stupid reasons, still successful albeit Starfield was underwhelming.>Big HouseAcquired by THQ in 2008, shut down briefly during the Great Recession but was acquired by 38 Studio which allowed them to make Kingdoms of Alamur, one of the most famous flops in gaming history.>BiowareGot acquired by EA and have been on a long decline ever since. Hopefully it gets shut down soon, not even a mercy kill anymore, they deserve it.>Black IsleClosed in 2003 due the collapse of Interplay which was unrelated to Steam.>BlizzardGot acquired by Activision and lost their soul in the process.>Bullfrog ProductionsOne of the most infamous victims of EA, not sure on the details.>Bungie Successfully scammed Sony. Now dying because of Blackrock and their own incompetence.>CapcomThey are doing fine. PC is now their biggest market thanks to Steam.
Steam is 70% of Marathon.
>>741686068>it was a tendie all alongWhat a twist!
>>741686628>steam is 3 of 4 retards
The board is being flooded with gcj redditors by the way, they're coordinating this raid on a moderator discord.
>Sucks to seethe, shillfaggot
>>741686459Gachapon isn't quite the same as lootboxes. But either way Valve definitely popularized and made it acceptable in the West.
>>741686386>cheaper games are bad ackshully
Every single time I see one of these threads, it always makes me chuckle. I think about the lack of games that every other platform has and realize that the only person that would post this kind of inane bullshit is someone who literally has nothing to play.
Steam users are fat lol
>>741680228This but for GoG
>>741686737>Valve is greedy for increasing the price of the deck!>yes, I will be buying GTA at 100 dollars to own the PC vegans
>>741686386Isn't this basically 1:1 what Tim Sweeney has been saying?Man, he's really on to something. Hopefully whatever frivolous lawsuit he's trying out this time pans out for Epic.
>and for no reason at all there are suddenly a lot of anti-valve / steam threads on 4chan>on the week leading up to the summer sales no lessI wonder who could be behind this
>something slightly bad happens>board goes full retard>Marathon released? "HOPE YOU DIE BUNGIE woke libtard devs trannys *posts steam charts for 3 months straight*">S&box released? "HOPE YOU DIE GARRY woke nft greedy slop fuck you">Steam box released? "HOPE YOU DIE GABE trannies trannies etc"I'm noticingWas this board always this bad?
>>741686856Newfags and bad faith actors will swear it was, but no. There are a lot of contributing factors, from hostile jannies to cellphones to the third world coming online, but whatever you want to blame - this board and the internet as a whole are a lot worse than they were ten or especially twenty years ago.
>>741684553could be worsehopoo got fired from Valve for not raping any of the children that were shorter than him at their annual international waters retreat.
>>741686737Cheaper games are good, and Valve inflates the price of games by taking a 30% cut of all purchases (regardless of whether or not the game is on sale).
>>741686952Which console or storefront doesn't take a cut?
>>741685187
>>741686680Makes sense. GCJ are massive Valve simps.
>>741686984Nintendo when they sell their own games. Really makes one ponder...
>>741686997No, they just hate gaming and gamers, and anything that is generally popular with gamers has to be torn down, like they're trying to do with Valve/Steam now. But you already knew that.
>>741686068>PC is dying in Japan>while Nintendo is thrivingBlessed timeline
>>741686984developers can set itchio's cut to 0%sorry that you werent expecting an actual answer to this
>>741687013>Nintendo doesn't take a cut>their games continue to rise in price, AND are plagued by DLC and season passes and microtransactions ala amiibos
>>741686984Console manufacturers sell consoles below cost, and make a profit off the sale of games. Steam don't sell a console because everyone already has a PC, they just take an enormous cut and no one can do anything about it because they have no serious competitors. And as we see, when they try to sell the Steam machine it's overpriced.
this is a reckoning moment for valve
>>741686798Yup. Just like how I bought a limited edition physical copy of Pizza Tower for my Switch just to own you.
>>741687119>they have no serious competitorsStop, you're gonna make Tim cry.
>>741687152>I bought a shitty console version of a game that's just a rental, just to own someone I don't likeBravo Nolan. Truly a certified hood classic.
>>741686705Gachapon tickets basically are the same thing as a lootbox, the only thing that's different is the exchange method which doesn't really matter. But yeah I do agree that valve popularized it in the west, mann co was the most disgusting evil thing that ever happened to western gaming and I will always have a bone to pick with valve over that alone. When people actually bought into hats I knew it was over for westerners since they were falling for the same retarded shit koreans were nearly a decade prior. It's amazing that valve didn't straight up have rented hats you had to keep re-buying on a regular basis to keep wearing, or get insanely lucky and spend lots of money to gamble for a permanent version, because people were definitely stupid enough that long ago to have fallen for it.
>>741686984https://developer.nintendo.com/the-processLooks like it's basically the same. The only one I can find a real number for that is less than 30 is Epic, where Tim takes 12% in exchange for nobody knowing your game is out.
>>741687119They take a pretty standard cut. Less, in fact, then the console companies do because it's tiered.
