State of the industry, updated 2026
aside the consoles fuckup steam itself is as strong as everthe only one that's truly killing itself is sony (and maybe microsoft if asha ends up fucking it over and helix flops too)
>>747512848Why are Tendies so mad today? They've been spamming the catalog like crazy.
No matter how frequently you will show Valve shooting itself, it will never become true.
>>747515130only game in two years is an ugly remake of a 64 game, two ugly remakes if you include star fox...
>>747515231Valve Key Codes
>>747512848Hi, I'm Eric. You're a faggot and Palworld is the future.
>no see Nintendo is based for re releasing the same game 3 times now and key codes are based too stay mad valve cultist
>>747512848>kojislopenjoy i guess?
>>747515231Valve spearheaded all of the gaming industry's worst aspects.
>>747517083>going to list a bunch of stuff that predates Valve's creation, but Valve "invented" them>going to talk about being online like you're not online 24/7 in the first world (and Europe)Nobody cares. Best store. Fastest downloads. Most games. Legal sharing. Good sales. Eat a dick.
Meanwhile, look at all the awesome games I get for free on Epic!
>>747512848This meme is getting to be really overused and unfunny.

has anyone ported the entire Nintendo catalogue preceding it to the switch?
Ocarina of time?More like Ocarina of CRIMEIt should be criminal how creatively bankrupt Nintroondo is
>>747517219>Best store. Fastest downloads. Most games. Legal sharing. Good sales. Eat a dick.Yes, these are all the features Steamfags love. Game sharing and dick eating.
>>747517083>>747518073trying too hard troon
>>747517083that was Xbox you nigger lover.
>>747518073you're playing games at 30 fps in 2026 just because they're available on your toydon't call anyone a dick eater, there's no reason to buy games for your toy
>>747518184I own my download from the Nintendo eShop. Good luck backing up your Steam games.
>>747518328you don't even have access to a file browser
Nintendo>fans keep clamoring about how the OOT remake is gonna be the best version of the game>no mods, no romhacks, no QOL options, not even an option to disable features like the anti-soul gas, no option to even use your own controller>starfox is the exact same>Ravenous is just gonna be a watered down Silksong>the rest of the library is gay walking sims and tranime, and baby gamesSony>keeps throwing out 100 billion dollar failures left and right>takes peoples purchases away>no sign of enshittification slowing downMicrosoft>jeet CEO keeps firing people>nothing but halo and gears>hardware is ancient trashPC>none of these freedoms, have absolute freedom>but console slaves have convinced themselves that this is a bad thing

What did steam do wrong aside from releasing a mini pc at the worst possible time?
>>747518439He didn't say PC, he said Valve and they're just as dogshit as everyone else.
>>747518801they mean everything when you need to jailbreak your shitbox to do anything with itit's about enforceability and it's way easier to enforce it on consoles
>>747517083that was console gaming though
>>747518886still wrongvalve is actively pushing for user freedoms with linux
>>747518801Then why would Steam/PC be any different?In any case, these threads are still fucking stupid to this day>Let me (rightfully) criticize other platforms but then talk in circles with MY platform like each company doesn't have a black spot on their record.

>>747515570>only game in two yearsThat's wrong though.
>>747517804Yay good news
>>747519078Still telling me you haven't played Metroid without telling me you haven't played Metroid, I see
>>747519174>watching a cutscene is playing MetroidHow very snoy of you.
>>747518991Sucking off payment processors and authoritarian leftist governments is a funny way to show it.
>>747517083Valve started selling games for $90 like nintendo did?
>>747517083valve cultists could not handle the trvke
>>747519078>>747519257This specific combo of posts is happening more often.Why the comfy pepe?
>>747519257Look, I know you're upset about Wolverine, but at least Nintendo course-corrected from making their character too vulnerable
I LOVE "owning" DIGITAL LICENSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>747519078When is the girlboss landing going to stop?
>>747519439>but at least Nintendo course-corrected from making their character too vulnerableWhich is why Samus is constantly jobbing to everyone? I bet she'll lose her powerups AGAIN because she's a weak bitch.>WolverineSorry, I don't like snoy movieshit like Wolverine or Xenoblade.
>>747519267console stores wouldn't host most of the porn games seen on steam, faggotand no, they're not going to fight against fucking governments over their retarded laws
I don't understand why Microjeet picked up Kojimbo's game which is unlikely to make any money for themI thought they shut down some studios to save money?
>>747517083Literally Microsoft
>>747517804Insane expectations were priced in before Switch 2, this was a correction. Don't forget Nintendo have good cash reserves and pay dividends.If I were rich enough to justify fucking around with individual stocks, I'd be eager to buy at or around $10.
>>747519562>constantly jobbing to everyone>Grabbing the thing that impaled you is "jobbing"You of all people should know how full of shit you are from the webm you shared
>>747519078>>747519174Finally they are answer to the question "What if Metroid was a girl?"
>>747520212If she was as competent as Doomguy, those guys would've been dead before the cutscene even started. Doom wouldn't have disgraced us with a shitty marvel cinematic cutscene. Maybe nu-Doom would have.
>>747519628>Playstation bad>Xbox goodJust think about it for a moment. Many normalfags and other retards will notice that MS did a "good" thing, and Playstation has nothing left for them except GTAVI, they need to care about the next thing and if Xbox has the next thing normalfags will flip again from Playstation to Xbox
>>747520289I'd put my dick in Metroid.
>>747520345>Canonically dies at the end of the shareware episode

>>747512848Based
>>747520652Which Samus still does in every other Metroid game :^)
>>747520652Just say you're gay, anon, we won't think any less of you
>>747512848Last Nintendo stream was like 10 ports and 20 dlcs and a very hungry woman they're not off the hook yet
>>747520780After a le sad moment of her crying and talking about her feelings. Hard pass on that, f@m.
>>747520534I don't even bother looking anymore. It's a worthless account because the process of dealing with it makes it not worth playing games on it.
>>747520886>samus>talkingdid you like, play only Other M or what
>>747520960The trailer for Ravenous has it so she never shuts up. That's already a bad sign. and did you miss the entirety of Metroid Fusion? And don't get me started on that sappy reddit shit in Zero Mission.
>>747520886>After a le sad moment of her crying and talking about her feelingsWhich they haven't done for 16 years. The only other times she was in cutscenes since then was either assuring a friendly NPC she'd help him defeat their mutual enemy (in his native tongue, no less) or just awkwardly stay silent and nod to everything while everyone else around her talked
>>747517083Steam is still free. How's your cuck tax for playing online multiplayer on your console working out?
>>747517367already pirated all of these years ago
>>747521105see>>747521034
>>747521034>NOOOOOO IN OLDER GAMES SAMUS SOMETIMES SAYS LIKE ONE THING NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ok, and?
>>747512848What did Steam do?
>>747519462I think that's a classic Spiderman pose actually
>>747521239>perfect video game character speaks as little as possible, and never shows emotions>Samus doesn't do this>NOOOOO STOP CRITICIZING THIS
>>747521228Well I'm sorry you're still that buttblasted about Other M, but Nintendo moved on and took the one thing they should have kept from it
>>747521381If they moved on from Other M, then why is Samus constantly a chatterbox in Ravenous? Why are there still cutscenes and QTEs?
>>747521505>constantly a chatterbox in Ravenous?How do you even know that? It might as well just be the usual one-time monologue she does sometimes before shutting the fuck up
>>747518391He's obviously baiting. This whole thread is BOLOGNA
>>747521505Did you not read my post? I said they took the one thing that made sense for her to do and left everything else from that game behind
>>747512848>Steam killing itselfDo retards really believe this?
>>747521578If it didn't represent the whole game, they shouldn't have put it in the trailer.
>>747521670>I said they took the one thing that made sense for her to doWhich is?
>>747521774Talking. She's not like Mario or Link who are vocally challenged, she's shown she's perfectly capable of human speech since at least Super, albeit only in text. This is just an evolution of that
>>747517804Oof, the ocarina of time demake reveal really took away their last remaining hope, huh?
>>747521940That was literally the worst part of Other M. TF you mean "that's the part they needed to take from it"? What about metroid screams "I need narration and dialogue"?
>>747522130Nintendo's insistence to bring new players up to speed? That's why there's a whole recap of Fusion when you start a new game of Dread
>>747522264How does that make the game better? It's just a fancy way of saying "we dumbed down the game for casuals and secondaries". If New players can't figure out what's going on, they can piss off.
>>747518991>valve is actively pushing for user freedoms with linuxlol
>>747512848If you think that age verification shit isn't coming to Nintendo as well you are delusional
>>747522395Hey look, I don't like their insistence to always try and bring in newbies either, especially for Metroid, but in that case, it had been twenty years. Some people whose first Metroid was Dread may have been born after Fusion released
>>747522436you're free to install whatever distro you want and you're not forced to use steamos, consolecuckthe default one simply assumes you're a retard that wants a consoleyou wouldn't know about it, you've never seen a bios screen
>>747522598>just jailbreak it to get basic features broexcellent service for a device asking you to fork over a fucking grand upfront lmao
>>747518439>>Ravenous is just gonna be a watered down Silksong
>>747522702>jailbreakyou press f12 or delete or whatever the fuck the default button is and you install whatever you want on itit's not a jailbreak you tech illiterate faggot, there's no fucking jail, just an assumption that the user is a retard, like you, and that assumption can be easily done away with
>>747515570grim
>>747522570>Some people whose first Metroid was Dread may have been born after Fusion releasedThen they need to be filtered hard. This mentality of dumbing everything down is what got us into this mess.>>747522715MercuryStream learned nothing from Dread or Silksong or other vanias, and they're doubling down on everything bad about Dread. The hunger mechanic, for example, is just gonna be an even worse parry. Just from what we saw, it turned even regular enemy kills into cutscenes where you have to sit and watch her kill the enemy. And people are excited for it. They WANT to watch cutscenes. This industry is rotting.
>>747512848Switch Nintendo for Steam and this chart would be accurate
>>747522869>SilksongNot a video game, tranny.Irrelevant.
>>747522809>Unironically defending early access software being sold for over a grand.>When that software is weaker than a switch 1.Utterly grim.
>>747512848What did steam do?
There's something ironic with how dread wasn't actually a metroidvania despite being the namesake.
>>747523237More of a game than Dread or Ravenous.
>>747523361Nintencultists feel that sony is too weak now so they're moving on to the next "enemy"
>>747523329what fucking babble is this? what early access software?this is not a console, you don't enter a legal contract where you agree to be raped by extremely limiting hardware drm
>>747517083valve did all of it correctly and the reason gaming went to shit is everyone tried to copy them but poorly
>>747523697>valve did all of it correctlyWouldn't say literally helping black market casinos operate using CSGO skins as betting chips to be a good thing.Also wouldn't say being one of the first westoids to drop normal game development and go all in on GAAS slop because it makes more money to be a good thing.
never cared for kojima, so whether we get his games or not, it means nothing to me. It just annoys me how much dick sucking this movie director wannabe gets from people.
>>747518439Nintendo>GamesSony>No gamesXbox>PC gamesPC>Business as usualSeems like Nintendo is coming out on top
>>747523848>Wouldn't say literally helping black market casinos operate using CSGO skins as betting chips to be a good thing.Then.... don't interact with it?
>>747523848NOBODY CARES ABOUT CS, VLAD. WE PLAY GAMES ON STEAM
>>747524080>movieshit>games
>>747517083It's funny that I NEVER see "paying to use your internet" whenever people complain about the worst aspects of the industry.
>>747515231>Steam2 leak>Achievement leak>Steam Frame leakjust in the past two weeks
>>747523450Just say you don't like Metroid anymore, it's clear Silksong brainwashed you
>>747523848As far as I can tell only slavs fell for the CS meme, not humans
>>747524185I said Sony has no games, no need to act like I made a typo
>>747524080I guess you could call them games. The competition isn't a hard one to win when first party stuff on the xbox and playstion has been abysmal.
>>747524312How are these even remotely "Steam killing itself"?The achievements leaks if anything, triggered massive interest and curiosity about upcoming games' content and unannounced games, rather than any damage to Steam.Yes publishers may seethe, but the users were pretty damn excited about it.
>>747524463How's the first party stuff on Steam and Epic Games Store?
>>747524415No console has games. >b-but what about dreadlol
>>747524361Before it was Silksong, Environmental Station Alpha was the king. I also took a fond liking to A Robot Named Fight. Note how both of them have cool robot protags that aren't PMS'ing women that need to talk about their feelings?
>>747524589You could post the actual fight and not just the cutscene for beating him.You could post the game itself, which is your standard 2D metroid, nothing breaking the mold, but at least it's a fucking vidya game.
>>747524673We don't talk about Other M
>>747524673>PMS'ing women that need to talk about their feelingsIn one game. That they've since course-corrected on. But I guess even that's one game too many for you, right?
>>747524782>You could post the actual fight and not just the cutscene for beating him.>he thinks that's just a cutscene
>>747524872Did they? Dread and Ravenous seem to imply otherwise.
>>747524937Does it matter? To disregard an entire game because of that webm just seems like seething.
>>747525030It's more so the fact that you didn't even realize that half that webm is """gameplay""". That's the problem.
>>747524998>"I'll end this. Once and for all" and "It's eat or be eaten" are apparently the same as ""Muh Adam" and "AIIIEEE IT'S RIDLEY, I'VE ONLY KILLED HIM FIVE TIMES BEFORE THIS" nowWow, you really are retarded
>>747525184>Silence is better than talkingYes. who would've thought?
>>747525272So you do just not like Metroid anymore, got it
>>747517083Even if that were to be the case, nothing about current Valve could imply they are shooting themselves as they are not in decline in the slightest.
>>747524530Everyone's going to jump ship to Nintendo, where you can own games LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>747525173Do you know anything about the game at all? Literally anything?
>>747525296It looks like metroid doesn't pander to gameplay enthusiasts anymore, which is a damn shame.
>>747525380I know that parries were the worst thing to be added to the franchise since Other M/Zero Mission's magical girl suit.
>>747525390Can't wait for your Youtube video with that title and an AI-generated image of Samus with a lesbian shirt and "It's Over" as the thumbnail
>>747525484>magical girl suitI don't know what you could call it at this point.It must be made of Nintendium the way it absorbs bullshit powers and abilities.
>>747525390Metroid Ravenous still has gameplay.
>>747525789That remains to be seen. Gameplay took up 1% of the trailer. The rest was just Samus yelling and screaming "I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR" inbetween MCU marvel capeshit cutscenes.
>>747512848Steam hasn't shot itself at all. Sorry if you're an Ausfag getting assfucked by your government's laws, but that's not Steam's problem.
>>747525970Not him. My only issue with steam is that they are going to get rid of gift cards soon because pos like pajeets, russians and chinese have ruined it with scamming. I don't like touching credit cards.
>>747517083/v/ hated him for telling the truth.
>>747525869Samus vore is the best direction they could ever take desu
>>747526586As much as I love valve at the moment. corporations aren't your friends, once Gaben goes it might turn into a worse company.
>>747526806They're going public in 2 more weeks.

>>747528067/v/ is filled with fanatics, and that's a good thing.It's the whole point of this board that people from every area of vidya are able to come together and argue about the most mundane of things.
>>747527964>doesn't understand nobody seriously uses that many exclamation marks unless they're talking about JesusAutism is a hell of a drug.
>>747528067it's been a while, last time i checked there were a couple of paid shills posting the steam deck daily and loitering the linux threads. now it seems they're laying low with their hands filled by the rothschilds. i say good, evil deserves evil

>>747530775UH OHHIDE YOUR KIDS, TENDIE PEDOS ARE MAAAAADDD
>>747529714Breath of the Wild is a great game.
>>747530873You lost, Eric.Nintendo won.
>>747530920Yeah, I love all ubislop slop schlop.
/v/ has over 9000 boogeymen, and I'm almost postitive most aren't real.
>>747530979Your mask slipped, ACFangFox.
I don't even know why people suck on Valve's ass this hard when they mistreat all their games except Deadlock right now.Although, I read some anon saying that Deadlock's patches have only been getting worse so maybe that's shit as well.
>>747530975>You lost, Eric.Ironic
>>747512848Valve has done more to roll gaming technology and innovation forwards than Nintendo has.>babymen spent all their money on switches and other kids toys like ammibos now they can’t afford a pc or a frame.
>>747531040Because nobody actually cares about Valve games except slavs. It's the store and client features that matter. If you worry about Valve games in 2026, you likely ate borscht 3+ times this week and own at least 10 Adidas tracksuits.
>all this seething at NintendoI'm going to enjoy watching both Sony and PC rot into a hollow grave within the next few years.
>>747531206Everyone's going to want to play Pretty Princess Bing Bing Wahoo Panic Party Extreme 5 on the Switch 2, right?
>>747531168>the games from the games company don't matterlmao>It's the store and client features that matter.Which has barely changed except sales have gotten worse.
>>747531206Sony and Valve fags are the biggest cultists on Earth, they're not going anywhere when PS5s and Steam Machines are selling like hotcakes. Literally worse than Applefags.
>>747531304I'm not poor, so I don't ever buy things on sale.Le Mao Zedong Lawl
>>747531280Funny, because the game you mentioned would actively outsell any PS5 or PC game ever made.Nintendo has been the primary cultural and dominant beacon of gaming since the Switch and is only progressively gaining influence. Your cries are the cries of corpses
>>747531286
>>747531060>that imagelol
>>747531280Shut up, you insufferable snoy.Mario will become real, and save the gaming industry once again.
>>747531452>once again.When was the first time?
>>747531447Why do pedochads make snoys seethe so hard?
>>747531346lmao look in the mirror the tendie console has no redeeming qualities yet you cultists jerk it off
>>747531447All the fallen the child porn booru was started by smash bros fans
>>747531440Taylor Swift outsells Chopin. That makes Taylor Swift the best artist ever, and I truly mean artist, since she creates the highest form of art.
>>747531497The ET crash of the early 80s. Video games were dying in the west until the NES launched. Everyone thought they were a short lived fad.
>>747531497Back in 1985.Nintendo is going to school Sony and Xbox on how REAL modern games are made.
>>747531569That one's not even trying.
>>747531623>Console games were dyingArcades were flourishing, but consoles had poor direction. They were either making weird blackjack games or shitty ports of arcade games that the systems weren't ready for.
>>747531623>>747531632The year when Ultima 4 released was when video games were dying? Shame nobody told the PCfags.
>>747512848why are ninten-drones so butthurt about steam lately anyway?
>>747526586
I feel like you could do a whole study on the trajectory of /v/ over the past 5 or so years, and get a genuinely good document as to why attempting to flood a community with astroturfing and bruteforcing the opinions of an anonymous community is entirely unsustainable and stupid.
>>747531641The trannies that get close to passing before showing off their dicks are in the 1%
>>747531785Why are Steamsnoys so butthurt about Nintendo lately anyway?
>>747531286why is silksong on here?
>>747531993For the same reason tendo isn't.
>>747531993Someone said they liked Silksong more than Metroid
>>747528078Damn, you guys have negative IQ.
>>747524782The first 15 seconds are an interactive Cutscene
>>747531782It was the console industry. Atari, Magnavox, Sinclair, and others weren't able to form a coherent strategy. PC gaming was niche, as PC graphics couldn't do sprite transformations and shit. On top of that, PCs of any type (IBM, Mac, Apple, Commodore) weren't ubiquitous. >>747531968>makes thread seething about Steam>"WHY ARE STEAMSNOYS SO BUTTHURT ABOUT NINTENDO??????????????????"You kicked the hornet's nest with your footie pajamas. Expect adults to spank you.
>>747531993Do you not remember how long it took to come out?
>>747532180Less time than it's taking OP to come out.
>>747532154>PC gaming was nicheAnd yet it did so well it didn't even feel the consoles crashing and burning.
>>747524312how are leaks bad
>>747532154PC gaming has never been niche.
>>747532220
>>747531968steam deck has completely raped you people
>>747531993Basically snoys tried to shill the indieslop for a month straight to try to drown Prime 4 hype. Funny how manufactured it was considering Silksong shilling died after barely a month.
>>747530834this was spouted by literal shills btw, it's extremely obvious with how commercial it sounds
>>747532839Shut up, eric.
>>747532839Shut the fuck up, Eric
oooooh they big mad!
>>747533016Oh nice, maybe I'll play Xenoblades
>>747532220anon, thats not nice. I know the truth hurts, but come on.>>747532719>snoys>indieslop>silksong shillingIt released on quite literally every platform including the Switch 2(I believe it even crashed the store from all the people downloading it)Also, git gud
>>747532390The PC gamer culture didn't develop until after VGA was standard. You'd be hard pressed to find people with any form of PC in the early 80s, and those who had them were generally using them for work. They were marketed as shit you could run a database and store recipes on.Games existed because people like games, but PC games were hard to find. If you were lucky to find a Babbage's before 1990, you were in good shape. Most people had to go to stores where they sold actual computers of all types, and shelf space for games was limited (and might not have the game you wanted, if you even KNEW what you wanted).That's not to say that the Apple II, C64, and IBM PC didn't have a fuckton of games, but they were hard to come by.
>>747533450>You'd be hard pressed to find people with any form of PC in the early 80sSo Ultimas and Wizardries were made for whom, nobody?
>Valve fans are cultists>the steam deck and steam machine failedPick one.
>>747533506>can't read AmericanThey were made for an incredibly niche audience that was nerdy and affluent enough to have a PC. MOST people didn't own one. Early PC games had budgets in the thousands, so they didn't require a million sales to break even.
>>747533593So the PC culture was already there, magnificent.
>>747533646Yes, in the same way that a woman who plays Candy Crush an hour a week is a gamer.
>>747533683No, in a different way than it is today but it was still a culture of its own.
>>747512848I swear these threads are just thinly disguised steam shitposting threads that don't have any real criticisms of steam and can't think of anything better.
Konami are the worst on paperBut at this point, it's just a dickwaving contest between the barons of this so-called industry
>>747533768It's okay, they're janny approved.
>>747512848>steam preventing purchases because users cant age verify without a credit cardThis would be devastating to a console. Fortunately theres plenty of third party options to get games cheaper and then activate on steam
>>747532302Dox yourself and they you can experience the Playstation and nintendo account feel.
>>747517083That and they fucked up PC gaming by making it too accessible
>>747512848>steam killing themselves Then why does capcom games sell the most on Steam?
>>747512848
>>747515130No, YOU! YOU!!!!!!!!!!!>>747516682I'm legit mad Nintendo definitively joined the 'never own the definitive edition' bandwagon, although it's been like that for like a decade, and cheaply. This was a reminder, albeit not as lazy.
Buy a PC and a Switch 2Sell your PS5Simple as
Desperate tendies
>>747535965cope
>>747514652>>747515231>>747535676Steam is literally in court fighting gamers right. They are the bad guys.
>>747536149
>>747536367Why are you guys blaming Valve instead of the the fucking dumbass Australian government for this?
>>747537241Because that doesnt suit their narrative. And because Nintendo cant sell R-18 games on their toy in the first place so it makes them look like hypocrites
>>747537241Valve could simply refuse to do age verification. The aussie government can't do a thing against them.
>>747537535>Valve could simply refuse to comply with the lawthe things you seething troons will say lol
>>747537241>>747537517>>747537535Because you’re next dumbass, did you forget that you don’t have a functioning government.
>>747535965Tendies are like Israelis. They try to act all buddy-buddy to PC/America while gloating about how supposedly superior they are behind their backs.
>>747538164>Because you’re next dumbassAgain, this is coming from the tendie that cant buy any fun stuff meant for grownups. You love to see it
>>747538349Euro is stronger than American dollar, Europe is more trustworthy than United States, Europe has instant money transfers while United States waits 5 days. When Mexico and Canada offer universal healthcare but your government doesn’t provide it was at that point that United States became a poor nation.
>>747538971And despite all that they're all still american colonies with no weapons, armies or economy to call their own. lol.
>>747538971>Europe has instant money transfers while United States waits 5 daysImagine lying.Also>universal healthcareI have healthcare through my job, Why should my taxes go to poor people? Fuck poor people. That's why I chose to be born American.
>>747530483Why is she crying
Nintendo King of Gaming
>>747539292She's feeling emotional and will have to murder her children.
>>747539156You’re a child from one of Europe nation or UK. Not a Native American citizen, you people became parasites on a land that was never yours. You became just like Indian people and trashed the land.
>>747521673no, they just keep repeating it like a mantra because they think that will make it become true
>>747517804Serious question, is this a good time to buy Nintendo stocks?? How many of you are actually holding for it to drop more?
GOGstatus?
>>747540034Making a hefty profit of $8 a year.
>>747524080>NintendoFor toddlers and retards>Sony & XboxFor gamers>SteamFor trannies and cucksFixed 4 (You), thanks me later.
>>747539773It’s currently in court fighting NY for their lootbox. No other studio fought lootbox accusations and just fixed the problem but NNNOOO. You just have to believe Valve version isn’t lootbox huh anon?
>>747540786I don't care about things that don't affect me. I only care about the things that do, and everything made by Valve that I use is a great boon.
>>747540786Lootboxes in Valve games aren't New York's concern, since all the players of Valve games are in the Soviet Bloc.
>>747512848Get back to Twitter, faggot.
>>747540786MTG and Pokemon cards are worse than lootboxes
>>747517083>battle pass>DRM>loot boxesdas right
>>747541525>3 things that don't affect normal people>"BUT LOOTBOXES AND BATTLEPASSES"I don't see them in good games.
>>747531829You retard
>>747542219>calls me out>"LOL HE'S RETARDED!!!!!!!"
Can someone bad this guy? >>747512848 I'm pretty sure spamming is against the rules.
>>747517804buy the dip time?
>>747512848steam is slowly taking over your beloved japanese. they have one of the highest user increase rates. devs and publishers willingly pay the 30% for the exposure
>>747540967>>747541031>>747541086Well actually, USA government hated video games since the arcade era. Them following Australia law is not impossible to assume. You people need to stop forgetting about the lawsuits Valve is currently in. The government can enforce them to stop their lootbox. They can make Valve stop unlawful contracts. They can break up Valve for monopoly.
>>747543704Why do you speak like a caveman?
>>747518439>>Ravenous is just gonna be a watered down Silksonglmaorent free
>>747543704you haven't explained why I should care
>>747537241>>747537535>>747537801>look up what this controversy is>its stopping children from looking at literal pornographyOh...oh no valve. You...uh, monsters?
What's with third worlders and anti steam posting?
>>747537535I mean if they refused wouldn't the government just block steam in their country?that's what happened to places like Vietnam,
>>747540034Gog uses and sells games with drm so i shan't be using them
>>747519462Samus has been doing it for more than 20 years.
>>747545438So have shitty movies. It needs to die. It's not>practical>sexy>coolSome faggot in a suit giggles every time he puts it in a movie.
>>747545274Probably. Australians would cry about it either way. Its literally their own laws in effect: explicit content needs an age gate. Steam has explicit content.And people are glossing over the fact that you can still use steam, it just blocks you and asks you for age verification for r+ rated content. The people complaining about this are people over the age of 18 without a credit card. Using steam accounts without...a credit card. Who the fuck are these people. How many of them even exist. People who have never and will never buy anything on steam and dont have a credit card?
>>747545528Nah, it's cool and you're a faggot.
>>747543845>>747545109The credit card requirement is a real thing that can happen dumb American anons. There’s also the government taking action against Valve for monopoly control. If you want to ignore it, go ahead. Just know that it will effect you.
>>747545279>this is the new valvejeet cope
>>747545579Everyone uses a credit/debit card to buy things in the USA. Oh noes, the card I use for purchases has to be used for age verification.Not only that, we came up with the ESRB specifically to prevent this.
>>747512848Nintendo shoots itself in the head as well by not releasing their games on other platforms
>>747545560credit cards aren't widely used in Australia, most people have debit cards, I also find it absurd that I need to prove that I am over 18 when my Steam account is 20 years old.but it's true about the age gating, it's a farce to have an age gate of "what year were you born?" because everyone lies on those, I lie on those despite being well above the age.
>>747545270>>747545560What’s with Americans not liking ID checks. You have laws saying it has to be mandatory thing and you people voted for it. Flock cameras, you voted for it. Attacking the biggest oil factory, you voted for it. You demand American made products, you now got what you voted for.See how stupid you both sound.
>>747517083>VALVE INVENTED SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES!Last I checked you can access Steam for free. Paying to play online is garbage and doesn't keep unmentionables out. Nintendo went to shit when they also jumped in.
>>747545873What's with South Americans and obsessing over the USA? Just go to sleep in your 120 degree favela shack.
>>747518439>no option to even use your own controllerYou have to RENT controllers now!? WTF NINTENDO
>>747539906Buy before or after the quarterly earnings report. If it dips some more before the report I would buy and hold long-term while building a big position.
Why does the existence of Metroid make HK fags seethe so much?
>>747545873It's not about ID check in general, it's about having a big fucking point of failure that is one hack away from being stolen goods in the black market. Do you really, really, really trust government that's been infested with malicious 3rd party actors like jeets with your personal information? Do you want to be sent a bill to your address for $100,000 of poptarts? Centralization is for lazy faggots.I'm also implying that Steam is a big point of failure, so back your shit up accordingly.
>>747545725>>747545560>>747545270>>747545923This is United States Government is filled with old people who don’t know anything about politics. What you believe to only be credit card requirement can be wrong. The United States will make you use ID cards for 18+ games. They did it with porn, discord, drinking beer, flying and many other activities.Enough with the USA propaganda nonsense, your games will be ID because of your cowardice.
>>747545560Dumb aussies would rather pick on the merchant than their own governments that are pulling this farce. It's easier to hit and won't involve getting sent to post-covid concentration camps. Remember, their own govt fucked them up in camps.
>>747546236That's literally the main benefits of a credit card, you can dispute a transaction and do a charge back. Your fucked if its a debit card
>>747545873I dont complain to valve about my governments shit policies lmao
>>747539206Unless you got namedropped in the Epstein emails you are poor brother
>>747537241Because they're retarded curry niggers paid money to shitpost about steam by epic and tencent
>>747546485They're getting paid. Meanwhile you cocksuck Gabe for free.
>>747546180Ravenous is going to give us a new renaissance of Samus BBC porn and I'm here for it.
>>747546340Again, you're missing the point. It's not about the ID, it's about the requirement of using real details of any sort when you know very well that these things can be easily sold by a 3rd party. The jeet who steals it won't care if they get caught, they made money, they stuck it to the "West", and they gained izzat. The problem with Valve is forcing American conventions on Australian retardation, they use debit over there. You're effectively forcing them to pay only through credit when there were different ways to pay before all this, like debit, gift cards, paypal, etc.
>>747546261I don't have to use ID for discord. Flying is normal because of the risks to other people. You're retarded and you can't speak American. The ESRB is there to prevent government regulation.
Snoys and Steamsnoys have such severe Nintendo Derangement Syndrome. It's genuinely insane.
>>747546638Tendiesnoys think PChads think about them at all.
>>747546261Okay, complain about the goverment than, not about valve lmao.Literally what do you expect. Valve to not do this? Oops, steam gets banned from australian. Then whatAre you actually expecting gabe to...overthrow australian parliament? Fuckin amass an army and storm the beaches? Literally what
>>747546623>I don't have to use ID for discordHuh? Discord has done age verification for australia since December 2025
>>747546334Remember USA gov covered up 9/11 air hazard in NY to make people go to work. You’re not the better country in any sense.>>747546623>>747546745>Poor American BELIEVES he won’t get mandatory ID laws for video games.
>>747547068Your country was too dumb to make an advisory board to prevent regulation. Mine wasn't.>>747547034I'm a burger and I don't need ID for discord.
>>747547148>I'm a burger and I don't need ID for discord.Yet
>>747547148We made better decisions and offer FREE game rating systems called IARC: https://www.globalratings.comSteam doesn’t offer it because they want you to commit crimes against gamers. They never cared about you.
>>747547302ESRB is platform-agnostic.Also, no company cares about you. Valve just provides the best store with the most games, fastest downloads, and best features. When they have competition, let me know.
>>747515231Remember this? It bombed worse than Concord.
>>747547414I had to wait months in a digital line to get one. I'm not sure how that qualifies as bombing.
>>747547414still sold out btw
>>747547462>>747547472"Sold out" is the new buzzword for "Sold like shit".
>>747547462There's a guy in the D5 threads swearing D4 bombed just because he's a PoOjeet, despite statements from MS saying it's one of their cash cows.People want to believe things they don't like are all flops.
>>747536367This dude has no credit. LOL.
>>747547540Go ahead and try to buy one from Valve now. You're free to see if it lets you put it in the cart or puts you on a waitlist. I got in another line for a second controller after I got confirmed for the Machine months ago and I still haven't heard back from them about that.
>>747515231Every year they don't make a new Half Life game is shooting themselves repeatedly idiot
>>747547405>>747547702It’s called itchio, no paying $100 dollars per game. Never install a software to download games, terminal download is available. Itchio support devs with percentages slider for a fair deal, including nothing for itchio. Real DRM-free games, obviously keep the game in the original state you brought or download older versions. You can talk to developers not a bot. Much, much more.Steam is behind the times, the fact that you still required to download their software proves they do mot care about gaming being better.
>>747518328remind me what happened to all my wii, wii u, dsi, 3ds eshop purchases?
>>747547763I don't pay for anything that isn't at least half off from $60.
>>747547763Ok, so where is the Pragmata page on itch?What about Space Marine 2?>but those games are sour anyway!Having the Steam client running takes up no resources.>but it's always onlineI live in America. I'm not sharing a dialup link to a satellite relay with 500 other starving villagers. I'm always connected to Steam.There's literally no downside to Steam for a sane person with reasonable income.
>>747519008shut up fag
>>747547068>Poor American BELIEVES he won’t get mandatory ID laws for video gamesShit, he's right. I better start writing, uh...valve, some angry letters! That's the right angle!
>>747537241Because they are not acting in good faith. You know that anon.
>>747545227>he's retarded enough to think this is about protecting the heckin childrenLiteral cattle.
>>747547298Actually they do, in the same way australia does. If any US discord user tries to access a nsfw channel it will prompt them to provide ID. back in January this year they made everyone's "account" a "teen" account. https://discord.com/press-releases/discord-launches-teen-by-default-settings-globallyThis anon just hasn't noticed yet
>>747548019>>747547068Once the kikes in congress push this shit through here I expect valve to be one of the few companies that actually tries to fight it. I don't blame them for not wasting the effort with ausfailia though.
>>747548180>no, no, if the children cant look at Furry Reich, the nazi furry porn game on steam, the goverment wins!
"STEAM IS DEAD" says increasingly schizophrenic tendie for the 10th time this week
>>747548332You're either retarded or arguing in bad faith. Either way not worth a serious response.
>>747515231>ausfags and bongs won't be able to play on PC by next yearI'd consider that a form of self inflicted suicide desu. Regardless of how cucked their occupied governments are.

>>747532974Cunt needs to pay a rat 25c to chew that shit off his face.
>>747515231Not with that attitude
>>747548385I accept your concession. Sickos like you deserve to be on a cross
>>747548731>Go on lad, this one is on me
the take away here is that nintendo learned from their mistakes with the wii u and to an extent the 3ds to reach where they are now. Good for them.Now the big question is if Sony will learn or continue to triple down. Because the future of the ps6 isn't looking hot.
>>747548731i have no idea why people dickride this guy. hes actually more wealthy than gabe, and he did it....entirely with one single game, a free game, fortenight. which means he makes more then all of valve selling skins to children.its like saying killing children is bad, and demonizing lindsay clancy, then turning around and tattooing planned parenthood to your forhead. like, what the fuck. atleast clancy only murdered 3 kids. atleast gabe sells games, fucking timmy makes more than gabe does and his store front of over 100,000 games selling SKINS...for ONE GAME
>>747548220I'm on a nsfw server for Carnal Instinct. No ID prompt.>This press release was updated on February 24th, 2026, to share the following note:>After hearing feedback from our users, we’ve made the decision to delay the global rollout of age assurance until the second half of 2026 to expand verification options, increase vendor transparency, and publish detailed technical documentation, while continuing to meet regulatory requirements where needed.It still hasn't launched.
>>747550248yeah because they used a.i. to look at your messages and determined your age based on what you posted.>Q: How does the age inference model work?>A: We leverage an advanced machine learning model developed at Discord to predict whether a user falls into a particular age group based on patterns of user behavior and several other signals associated with their account on Discordyou should go to your settings and account page, and check the>age groupsection, there you will see what the a.i. determined your age is
>>747547414Steam existed long before the steam machine, and north of 90% of steam users don't give a shit about it. Who cares?Also it sold out lol
>>747551847That's the tricky dicky part. Valve doesnt care either, its not the point. Its the same as the steam deck. Flop or not, the steamdeck made 15 other companies spend billions in r&d, make steamdeck killers, advertise them and all that and....Then put steam onto them. A direct line to valves bank account. Valve is actually ecstatic when someone makes a steamdeck device better than steam. Whats the user gonna do, NOT put steam on it?That's what the steam machine was "supposed" to do, encourage 15 companies to make pc "consoles" that compete with Nintendo and xbox, because...you'll put steam on it. It failed, but really more so because ram and gpu stuff means NOBODY is making steam machine "killers".
>>747518575LMFAO do tendies really
>>747523329most tech literate consolenigger lmao
>>747539206>Why should my taxes go to poor people?it should go to isreal instead right?also your money is still going to nigger gibs so your point is moot regardless
>>747515130Switch 2 flopped and the only game they've been waiting for turned out to be a cashgrab lazy demake
>>747516682>re releasing the same game 3 times nowthey've been releasing their 3 games for 40 years now, hundreds of timespeople will still buy it because their fans are retarded
>>747512848why does steam assblast switchsnoys so much?
>>747548756>he said on /v/
>>747517367Luftrusers is pretty good. But the offerings have definitely gone down. I got so many great games on Epic and barely touch it.
It seems Nintendo superiority has caused some controversy
>>747560253very superior
>>747512848ITT: shills are angry at steam-,valve since they don't outsource their production to India or another shithole country
which one is the least woke?cuz that's the winner

Come the fuck on!Eh, keep it as is. OP is accurate enough.
>>747537801they already refuse to comply with the law when it comes to gambling and not killing the black market of CSGO skin gambling, what's another law broken?
>>747517083Fucking look at how much this TRVKE made them seethe. Using steam is more enjoyable to them than playing vidya.
We desperately need Nintendo board.That way tendies can have their fun without constantly crying how everyone is against them and the rest won't have to deal with their cult having a melty every other day.
>>747560348
>>747536367That is because of our evil governments stupid Jew glowie. Not steam.
>>747537535Yeah then steam will pull out of Australia you fucking stupid dickhead. Do you not understand what is happening? No seriously? How genuinely fucking retarded are you you stupid fucking Labor prick. Fuck you I hope you fucking die dumb cunt.
>>747561751why are you upset about facts?the switch 2 cpu is a 2020 arm design running at 1 ghzit's dogshit, AI is correct
>>747512848Nintendo should be portayed and trying to kill itself but not being able to because there's a row of endless fans jumping in front of the bullet
>>747545227Oh…oh. Parents…parenting their children? No…the goverment must punish everyone for that…
If you people don't believe Valve will eventually try to sink their kike claws into Linux the exact way google did with andoid then I have multiple bridges to sell you.
>>747545560We don’t use Credit Cards in Australia, barely anyone under 40 owns one. We didn’t fall for as many Jew tricks as you.
>>747548731>*fires another 1000 people*

>>747561980tech illiterate retard lmaoandroid is permissive, not copyleft and it has always been owned by googleeven if valve wanted control, and they don't, they can't do shit about it

>>747536367this nigga is either a brit or an aussie, i feel bad for you lil nigga
>>747562281no, it's notneither is your tendie toybut at least the snoybox has an acceptable cpu running at normal clock speeds so it can be jailbroken into a proper pcthe tendie toy is not and it's running at 1ghz
>>747562350>Just buy a brick of ewaste worth over a grand to jailbreak it and use it as a PC to shitpost on 4chan with bro.What nogames does to snoys and PC vegans lol.
>>747562964yes, i want to own my hardwareyou, as a brain damaged consolegroid want someone else to tell you what to doyou suck nintendo's dick because they're giving you a UE5slop remaster of an almost 30 year old game
>>747561621>using the objectively best way to play vidya is important to themftfy, and yeah, you're pretty right dude :)
>>747562115>>747562162>>747562281realistically its because its emulating android entirely on the ps5, but eh
>>747546180I used to be a metroid fan, until you guys began shitting on other metroid likes. The last straw was when you shmucks shat on Environmental Station Alpha because, and i quote, "the main character isnt a sexy waifu."You porn addicts sicken me.
>>747547871You only have the illusion of income until your dumb leader or boss decides something awful. Then you have no real money, remember that US dollar is only value in gold by USA government. The dollar bill is worthless outside their borders as it doesn’t represent real value.
>>747515231Steam Machine and Frame were absolutely a terrible and stupid ideas.
>>747561843Lootbox gambling is Valve’s fault, they had years to do something about it. The illegal contract of restriction placed by Valve is still illegal anon.They are the bad guys.
>>747564429just admit you're too retarded to understand them
>>747564306>Pizza Tower>shitting on waifusGo back
>>747564309Two more weeks
>>747546180Why does the existence of Hollow Knight cause famitufags to go into screaming fits. Both games are on switch.
>>747564880Someone once implied that Silksong was better than Metroid Prime 4, and since then the tendies have completely lost their minds.
>>747517804And how's the rest of the japanese stock market doing?
>>747564541isn't it fascinating how you need to reframe it into this very narrow scope to blame valve?meanwhile pokemon tcg has been a thing since 1996 lmao
>>747515130They are too old and can't accept their time passed so they spam the catalogue with the same cooming threads (but get mad at non nintendo cooming threads)
>>747514652Gee you think the Indian woman isnt going to ruin Xbox? Lol. Lmao even. Microsoft is fucked. Its all h1b visa street shitters now.
>>747530834Piss off tendie shill
>>747565050there's no widespread online casinos using pokemon cards as gambling chips anonthough there is indeed a scalper epidemic with pokemon cards, but guess what? TPC does in fact take measures to fuck over the scalpers and other niggers trying to use the cards as crypto/a stock market
>>747565418>it doesn't count because... (cope)
>>747565418Doed tpc hire gunmen to kill scalpers? They dont? Then their measures mean nothing. Bunch of lazy assholes.
>>747517804NOOOOOOOOO DON'T POST THAT NINTENDO IS DOING GREAT THAT'S WHY THEY'RE REMAKING THEIR GOLDEN CALF FOR EASY CASH GRAB NOOOO STOP!!!
>>747515130Well tendies don't own either games or hardware. They cant mod either so they obviously don't belong to them. Also they have no fuckin games
>>747565050What's fascinating is how hard you suc gabes cock lol
>>747565685i don't support gambling at all, faggotthe difference is that i'm not a hypocrite using it as a cudgelhate gambling? then lobby against casinos who make people lose 100x the money
>>747515231these dogshit low quality threads are always made by tendies
>>747565745suc suc suc
>>747549381You're forgetting that Epic made engines & games. That said, I think Epic forgot that too. They delisted Unreal, and I believe several other games, on Steam & GOG but they haven't brought them to EGS so why even take them down? Absolutely asinine behavior.
>>747537190This is probably the most accurate use of that meme given the guy who doesn't think it's secretly obsessed and PC gaming is a wasteland of console slops these days
>>747565915You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18.
>>747536367good morning timmie saari love epic games too saar
>>747515130Ocarina remake being absolute shit mindbroke them
>>747566043But that will destroy the tendo traffic
>>747515231funny how all the replies to this is random bullshit that doesn't actually affect the experience of using steam and isn't even one tenth as bad as PS raping physical and just deleting movies off of people's accounts
>>747566043No I'm old enough to remember when pc gaming was actually good, not done mindless cargo cult zoomie
>>747566179it is good, and it only gets betternone of your old games are unplayable nor is anyone trying to prevent you from playing them
>>747566130Lmao steam deleted physical decades ago already
>>747541525>>battle passFortnite, not on steam>>DRMSteam has nothing to do with that, Steam does not force the developers to use DRM>>loot boxesJapanese mobile gachas were doing it first
>>747565418There are websites where you can buy pokemon card packs and they open it for you and then you sell what's inside for money or have them deliver what you get.
>>747566210Uhh actually old games so get harder to play with time, you'll see zoomie
>>747566218Can you point out the instance where steam said that game devs can't make physical discs?
>>747566268easier, thanks to valve's work on linuxwine runs old games better than windows
>>747522436Imagine being this computer illiterate. Zoomer detected.
>>747566324Yeah but then you're stuck with Linux lol. And what's the deal with memory lane pops, I'm talking about the present!
>>747566268>want to play some Deus Ex>can't do it on consoles, not allowed to until the gay remaster comes out>go on PC>have 5+ options to enjoy it, from Kentie's Launcher, to GMDX, and even RevisionHow many of these options are available on console?
>>747566450>you're stuck with an operating system that's fundamentally better and respects the useroh no???thanks for admitting you're just a retarded larper>I'm talking about the present!no one is stopping anyone from making games they want
>>747512848why steam kurt cobain too?
>>747566536>>747566546Uh huh but these days pc gaming is a shadow of what it once was
>>747566671that's fine, you're allowed to hold onto your retarded opinion even reality directly contradicts it
>>747566773Lmao what causes this unhinged cultist behavior from Steamies?
>>747566942>PC GAMING SUCKS BECAUSE... IT JUST DOES, OK?don't call anyone a cultist, faggot, that's youyou brought nothing but an opinion here and you regurgitate it
>>747566990It's not the knockout alternative to console it once was no. Mention even one thing negative about it and a you anger the hoard of br and Russian cs thirdies lol
>>747566671Did something happen? Can I not play all the games I could in the past?
>>747567051>we have uncslop!
>>747512848silly tendies
>>747567125>it's not the alternativenigger, there are less than 100 games you can't fucking play on itit is almost a fucking superset of all the consoles
>>747567170I'm talking about new games
>>747567284Are there no new games getting released on PC?
>>747567263Used to be the case, now it's just console slop with a handful of indies. Those are some good indies for sure but still much more niche and console tech has caught up it's not like the old days comparing monitor with TV CRT, zoomies just don't understand
>>747567284There are still good games being made for whatever genre you enjoy, the only issue is the barrier to entry is lower so there's more shit games to sift through
>>747567384That's the thing it's all console slop, keep up.
>>747567452Uh oh.
>>747567410>>747567125It's still the best place to play games, whether exclusive or multiplat. Hell, random fangames released on PC completely outclass trash like GTA6 and Ocarina of Time.
>>747515130>keeps replying to himselfHow embarrassing
>>747567239Kek, based
This is more accurate
>>747567410>it's console slopweren't you defending consoles, faggot?what exactly are you crying about? no one making isometric games that are glorified spreadsheet simulators or point and click games?
>>747536367They're being compelled by the law to do this
>>747567515Nah the extra hassle isn't worth it if you're just getting console slop
>>747566268I remember when DOS and 95 games started to run into issues as early as Win98.Win 10 and 11 unironically have far better compatibility with older games than the 2000 to 7 editions did.That's not in reference to third party things like DOSbox, but native compatibility layers.I can execute a DOS game and modern Windows can run most of them. It will go stretched exclusive fullscreen at a 320x240 resolution, but it's fucking running, detects the mouse, plays audio works just fine.
>>747517083And? They're still successful
AH YES STEAM MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAME DEVS
>>747567636Classics of the pc platform along with arena shooters back in the day. These days une best arena shooter is a Nintendo exclusive up is down
>>747566268Actually, they don't.
>>747567659No, you see, they are supposed to refuse to comply with the law and then lose business after becoming a banned platform in the country
>>747567682>consoles are better>all they have is slop???????
>>747567768>These days une best arena shooter is a Nintendo exclusive up is downxD
>>747567051You forgot to mention literally all examples are old enough to legally drink, minimum, some are old enough to be a lot of people's parents, if not outright their grandparents.Honestly a lot of the "old good new bad" sour grapes PC vegans have may be from the fact they straight up no longer get any notable exclusives with any real consistency thanks to valve's consolification of PC gaming.
>>747536367>let jews and jeets nest in your country>actually pay for them to stay there>they fuck with your laws and put a cuckmuzzle on you>"errrrrhm why does valve do this"
>>747567768>These days une best arena shooter is a Nintendo exclusive Team Fortress 2 isn't a Nintendo exclusive, though.
>>747567830>PC vegansWuzzat?
>>747567768>people don't want to play arena shooters PLEASE FORCE THEM TO PLAY THEM NIGGERMAN!!!if anyone gave a shit then people would play them and that would drive the demandwhat's really happening is that you're a stubborn nostalgia ridden retard that can't think straight and is too lazy to gather fellow retards to entertain his fetish for 2 hours and get bored of it
>>747567713NINTENDO AND SONY ARE NOT GAMEDEVS EITHER YOU FUCKING /POL/TARD
>>747567853Yeah and splatoon is tf2 2
>>747567975Splatoon is huge in Japan
>>747567180This. They don't have awesome games like... uuuuh.... uuuuuhmmmm... The new wolverine.
>>747515130All these replies is one mentally ill Nintendo hater replying to himself lmao
>>747512848don't worry about the pc. we have plenty of virtual hobbies, and most of us grew up with that lack of exclusive titles, and the total absence of physical games
>>747568121splatoon is a simple toddler game that only acomplete tendie shill would consider an arena shooter
>>747567495
>>747568042>P2P>no custom servers>no dedicated servers>no mods for custom UIs or graphics>have to spend 60 bucks every few years for glorified content updates that Nintendo calls sequels>disgusting waifushit everywhereMiss me with all of that.
>>747514652The original image mindbroke tendies so hard that they never recovered.
>>747548641>Switch 2 Readily Availableyeah, nobody wants a $500 nogaems tablet
>>747517083This
>>747568042>Arena shooter>On a controllerIs this guy serious?
>>747568195They probably don't even have racism lmao.
>>747515130The remake looks like such generic UE5slop that even normalfags are clowning on it, so tendies are in full damage control.It actually reminds me of the Asscreed Shadows situation.
>>747568195Yeah but tf2 is done unc time to move on
>>747517083>Valve spearheaded all of the gaming industry's worst aspects.
>>747568259That's just the state of pc these days
>>747568260There's barely any community features in general
>>747568314Onto what?
>>747568314>GAME IS OLD, STOP PLAYING IT"No."
>>747568378copeonly a complete pseud would bring up arena shooters only to play something he thinks is one on a fucking controller
>>747568312In what way, eric?
>>747568485How is he complaining that old games on PC is better but also that TF2 is too old?
>>747568756Yeah, he definitely wrote himself into a corner.
>>747568756I'm saying that steamsnoys are living in the past to cope with the middling pc present
>>747568952>steamsnoysand that's how you concede that all the cope about consoleslop was just that, copeyou can't shit on pc for having console games when you defend console games, faggottendies are not beating the allegations of being completely deranged cultist schizos
>>747568952You're still stuck on the notion that games need to be replaced and thrown out. PC goes against that notion by letting you continue to enjoy your games, even if your PC dies. There is no planned obsolescence making your game into a ticking time bomb.
>>747569098>>747569169lmao they get so mad
>>747569310you lost and you have no way of arguing your way out of it, tendie cultistthere's no rational reason to be a consolecuck in 2026, it's down to the user being an unimaginable retard too stupid to man a pc
>>747569426No, PC gaming lost -_-
>>747569476Lost what exactly?
>>747569310fr these uncs so mad. they even get to keep what they purchased lmfao. ownership is uncslop shit.
>>747569476wonyour best arguments against it are toddler games, endless IP rehashes and your own tech illiteracy
>>747567890A term that a sperg has been trying to force for years on end
>>747568375This is literally a physical copy countermeasure to kill code-in-box shit anon.Meanwhile PC vegans happily gave up physical ownership and snoys don't seem that upset at spending a hundred bucks for a code in box game.
>>747569310>>747569476>PC gaming lostReally? You guys need constant remakes and remasters because apparently your console games are beyond terrible. Meanwhile, my 25 year old games continue being fun to this day. Without shackles, I can even enjoy them in any way I want. >enjoy Armored Core 6 with mods that revert nerfs so I can fight Balteus at peak>enjoy some custom game modes in TF2 like Jailbreak, Freak Fortress, Death Run, and even Warioware microgames >then enjoy some Supreme Commander Forged Alliance (with the FAF client)Sorry if your games have an expiration date and need to be replaced constantly.
>>747569667you know, if you actually owned your hardware and you could play games without extreme operating system and hardware level DRM, then maybe you wouldn't need to worry about whether your license comes on mass produced plastic
>>747569667>This is literally a physical copy countermeasure to kill code-in-box shit anonYeah, it's a code-in-cartridge shit instead. Totally differentTendies really are stupid enough to fall or and defend this shit lmao
>>747569578Lmao the whole licensed games row people are losing their shit over today was in the Sierra TOS.What do you do if steam goes down?
>>747569667>This is literally a physical copy countermeasure to kill code-in-box shit anonFucking lol. Yes goy, just be happy.
>>747569667>This is literally a physical copy countermeasure to kill code-in-box shit anon.wIthout the ability to modify the code, make backups, and enjoy it without Nintendo's shackles, there is no difference between it and a code in a box.
>>747569553PC games lmao I get it you weren't alive back then but it's true
>>747569738>What do you do if steam goes down?Continue playing my games because they dont need steam to run. It's nice owning things and having access to files
>>747569738I go to archive.org and run the .exeYes, that's it.
>op gets so angry over people not agreeing that steam is dead that he makes a second thread
>>747569737>Yeah, it's a code-in-cartridge shit instead. Totally differentGKCs aren't consumables, you can buy them used for cheap and resell them or lend them to friends/family if you wantyou can't do that with code-in-box, which is a consumable that adds a digital copy tied to your account and nothing else
>>747569647He was trying so hard to pretend to be fighting for retro pc until he got caught and then dropped the facade
>>747569825Yeah and I can play old consoles too only i don't need to rely on dodgy archive sites if my hard drive dies
>>747569667>physical copy countermeasure to kill code-in-box shit anon.>the cart is literally a code and nothing else so you have to download the game from NintendoWhy are tendies like this?
>>747569872Looks more like Steamies loosing their minds over the slightest criticism of stream lol
>>747569962Cartridges can die too
>>747569893>you can buy them used for cheap Unless it was used by a cheater or someone who tampered with it, then you're left with a brick.
>>747569962>only i don't need to rely on dodgy archive sites if my hard drive diesI dont know what poorfag shithole you live in where your hard drive can die, but it does explain a lot.
>>747570051Out of thousands I've maintained and repaired I've only had a japanese pokemon gold die suddenly, and the ROM was replaceable.
>>747569990Yeah and you can sell the card lol
>>747570118Does he know that you can backup your hard drive?
>>747570086you literally can't even dump switch 2 carts to have the NIG cart problem switch 1 games have anonalso if you do get issues you can just call nintendo and provide proof of cart ownership and the NIGger gets banned instead
>>747536367>b-b-but there's a courtcase..Call me when there's a verdict and when it's something that actually threatens Valve as a company.
>>747570118>pcsnoys have to deny the laws of physics to maintain the cope
>>747570208>you have to jump through hoops and humiliation rituals and beg nintendo to unban a game you boughtSounds like a lack of ownership to me.
>>747570170You can backup copies on multiple hard drives, it's that easy. No repair needed for PC, but you also can if you want
>>747569962>i need to hold onto old hardware that runs games like shit to play old gameslmao
>>747570231>if valve has no defenders i am no longer alive
>>747570170Too bad modern tendie cartridges aren't as durable. 3DS carts left to storage are already ewaste.
>>747570376Lmao Nintendo winning so hard even Steamies are bending over backwards to cope
>>747570270>Being able to call nintendo and solve the problem pirategroids literally created is le bad.Lol.
>>747569893>you can buy them used for cheap and resell them lol poorfag>or lend them to friends/family if you wantHow long has family sharing been a thing?
>>747570307I'm not even a big fan of Valve, it's just obvious you're a retard if you think some random court case means anything unless it leads to some new regulations that transform the market in a way that kills Steam.
>>747570465>pirategroids created the problem of needing nintendo's approval to play your purchased gameslmao
>>747570420It's common knowledge that SSDs are better than microSD express in every way except form factor.
>>747570420>facts are copeMeds
>>747570559Yeah if there were no pirates we wouldn't need drm
>>747570559>pirategroids created the problem of legit carts being flagged as pirated copies due to the "im totally ripping my own roms bro" phenomenon instead of just downloading a rom like a rational person and being scummy enough to resell themyes
