He allows easy access to a massively used storefront for devs to put their games and then takes care of literally everything else. He’s offering a service of extreme convenience for devs looking to sell their games and he asks for some of that revenue back in exchange. Seems reasonable to me.
Build your own store if its so easy
>>748554569He isn't jewish
>>748554569You don't need to use steam to sell games?
This thread is sponsored by the Epstein class.

>>748554569You and devs are free to not give him your money and use CDs instead.
>>748554569>Spent on yachts for scientific research, like cancer medicineThis, what an evil bastard with his attempt to advance humanity.

>>748556994It's more than just file hosting.https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/homeTry educating yourself a bit.
Gaben and Todd are the only good people in this industry.
>>748554569>Explain to me how he isn't the most evil bastard in the industry.Are we still talking about Timmy?
>>748554569>StealsCunt made me rich.But please keep pretending that steams storefront, payment processing, workshop, server browser, server hosting, file hosting and damn near perfect track record for server up time for like 20 years has no value to developers. If it was easy to do others would have done it, but no one has managed to do what valve has. Not ubishit, not microjeet, not EA etcOnly issue I take with Gabe is him being fat, but even then since moving down here to NZ/Aus he's lost a ton of weight, so fucking thumbs up from me.
>>748554569I saw his yacht recently when he came to Norway. It's absurdly big. I took a picture and sent to my friends and they said "my CS skins paid for that thing". Also they wanted to go out on the town in hopes of meeting him at a random bar and confront him about some refunds they wanted.
Oh no he made a successful business that provides value to developers and customers and has inspired others to also try and do the same to keep competition alivereally how dare he
>>748554569he less villain than jaynick
>>748555397pregnant
>>748554569Sure, you don’t have to use Steam
>>748554569As long as the service remains good he can do whatever he wants with the profits.

wtf bros they buy something from the distributor and then charge me 30-60% more than what they paid for it?????

>>748554569Have you heard of Activision?They raped kids on epsteins island and employees and tried to restructure things to get rid of those employees.
>>748556535...and here we see the usual discussion subversions the ashkenazi uses when the discussion isn't going the way they want.In this example, its trying to change topic to some other political identity to try and distract other people, disregarding the fact that redditard usually don't despise gaben since he offers a user-friendly service.
I mean I could but you're not here for the answer, same as you weren't the last 50 times you made this thread.
He isn't. Now explain how he is more evil than all the corpo faggots who wanted PC gaming dead, put opressive copy protection on physical copies of PC games or the actual inventors of gambling in gaming (eastern MMO's and EA)
>>748559794Yes.. communists..And by communists we mean jews right?
>UGHHHHH STEAM IS LE EVIL MONOPOLY!!!!!!!!>they say as they continue to put their games on steam, refuse to make actually decent alternatives and disregard GoG
Valve and steam is probably one of the last good things about pc gaming and gaming in general.
>>748559642He doesnt play ball with them. Gaben is a gamer too, a customer so he understand customers unlike the parasites who are trying to control the narrative.
>>748554569Sell your game yourself, then. Nobody makes you sell through steam.
>>748554935>>748555172Denounce the pedophile yacht trafficking fleet.
>>748560050No, that’s a whole different kettle of fish
>>748560571I disagree.Seems like they're the same kettle of fish more and more everyday.Did you forget the background of Marx? Trotsky? Stalin? Lenin?Guess what they all have in common.No wonder they're trying to ban speech nowadays if it's this obvious.
>dont want steam community discussions>dont want steam marketplace>dont want steam inventory>dont want steam workshop integration>dont want steam cloud feature>dont want steam achievements>dont want steam servers (no multiplayer)>still have to give 30% of your sales for services you don't even useAbsolutely criminal
>>748560883>don't want <pretty much anything it offers>then go somewhere else?
>>748560883Sell it on your own launcher, gog or epic then
>>748560883Yeah, but Activision makes everything a microtransaction, streamlines things to the point where it shuts down games that earn money so whales move to games that don't, rapes children on Epsteins island, stalks and harasses whistleblowers to death and then pats themselves on the back for a good job.Gaben has issues, but look at the fucking competition dude. You're in hell.Steam could have been so much worse by now. A lot of it's bullshit is just because it's so bloated now.Those yachts? Tax. Simple as.I don't think he even uses them unless he has to for tax purposes. >well why doesn't he pay tax then?And pay the people that also rape children on Epstein's island? Who surveil you at all times and shares pics of your kids while trying to ban your 2D pics for some odd reason (to meet a quota)?Who give money to financial institutes that pay no tax themselves that simply use it to fund for more war in the middle east so your country has more cheap labor and so they can increase and expand their sex trafficking rings?Also they just injected you with shit to kill you all on mass and you didn't even resist. Have fun. You all deserve it 2bh.Crab bucket babeyyyyy.
>>748560747And they mean nothingIt’s the people that keep their ideas alive that cause the problems
>>748560883Then sell it on another site and use twitter to promote it
>>748560883Why are tranime posters always so retarded?
Vwlve cultists even defend him taking a cut if you sell a skin to someone elseSelling a skin for 4 cents means you get 1 cent and Valve gets 3
>>748560293but you dont actually own your games...
>>748562164no, it means valve gets 1 cent, the developer gets 1 cent and you get 2 cents
>>748556535Bootlicking billionaires won't make all that wealth trickle down any sooner ya goober
>>748562324Why are you saying some bullshit, you can literally try it out right now. Go to CS and take a skin and put in 4 cents and it shows you will only get 1 cent
>>748554569I'm the one paying and I don't mind 30% of my money going to Valve in exchange for the service I get at no additional charge. There is literally nobody else in the industry even attempting to provide the same level of service. I will give GOG a mention here because I really, really appreciate their DRM-free installers and frequently go out of my way to buy from them for that reason alone, but in terms of service provided nothing is even close to Steam.If the 30% cut is so excessive, then it should be easy for somebody to make an alternative service that actually competes with Steam on an equal footing. So get one with it faggots, if you make it good I will buy from your store.
>>748561946So... Jews?Mate, they're an ethnic mafia racket that regularly employs a cycle of abuse and propaganda to pacify and control their "chickens". That's why they either employ a debt slavery, or slavery through totalitarian means.Why do you think they love destroying your games and forcing you to do all sorts of bullshit to raise those cortisol levels?>baaaawk bawk bawk
>>748554569Faggot killed VR last week
>>748554682>>748554705Isn’t this the exact same thing as the Apple Store, and don’t devs and computer geeks hate them for it?
>>748554673>there is no difference between the concept of greed and making just enough money to prospergetting real sick of this capitalist trite

>>748554673>>748554680>>748554682>>748554935>>748561925Gasoline is over $6 anon, time to stop defending corporate interests. FBI found evidence of fraud in Steam. Valve corporation doesn’t want to follow copyright laws from UK and NY is charging them for gambling.They’re bad guys.
>>748562656Same thingHe was literally the chosen one to save VR but said FUCK YOU at the last minute
>>748562387And yet many Russians and Chinese people do. Westerners and Arabs actually bomb these fuckers nowadays. That's why they're trying to ban everything in retaliation. It's a cold civil war between the rich and the poor or the influential and the poor. Times sure have change huh.

>>748562690>FBI found evidence of fraud in Steam.Oh yeah, the FBI never raped children and blackmailed people in the past right.Hey remember Waco?What was that about?Something about "too imprinted".Now they treat me like that nowadays. But they're not imprinted, no, never.
>>748554569Gaben is the best kind of richfag, he doesn’t want to replace you with robots, sell weapons to both sides of a war, or buy all the farmland in your country, he just wants to sell you video games and then fuck off on a boat in the middle of nowhere. I vastly prefer a billionaire that doesn’t think he’s better than you. He’s an ozempic-zombie ffs, he doesn’t even pretend like he’s better than you. That’s refreshing.
>>748562796don't engage this esl retard, he's been raped in every thread yet he keeps coming back
>>748556154>and donate it to conservation groupsno, he has his own (which conveniently allows him to reappropriate it for later development when the purchase falls out of the headlines, because nobody gives a fuck about eco news)
>>748562796It’s real case: https://forms.fbi.gov/victims/Steam_Malware
>>748554569They need that money to run all those servers. You can't just download a game out of the ether.
Christian cucks would never ever imprint children either. Oh and secular people.No, these people are fine and there's nothing wrong with them. Ever.Nazis would never imprint themselves either. Especially when their brownshirts had homosexuals with them from the start. But Jews?Never did anything wrong. They're perfect and you are a bad person for questioning a religion that has caused more damage to the globe, through itself and it's forks (Christianity, Islam and later scientific secularism). Go to jail. Baddy.Never ever trust anybody that wants to ban speech. Let's just go with that for now. Those that do have things to hide, probably from themselves.
>>748563059Yes, that yacht is needed to run those servers...Actually, I was kidding, but now that I think about it I heard that this was a thing, unironically. It was either Steam or Amazon or one of those. Probably Steam. Gaben is a weird one. I think he thinks the world is Half Life or some shit.It kinda is.
>>748562652>euroMust work differently over there
>>748562720Not him but I think you are confusing two separate concepts.Grocery stores have low net profit margin but gross profit margin is much higher. Markup on average is around 25% for food.
>>748562949Okay, so they actually found malware IN GAMES hosted on steam, not in steam.
Valve make most of their money from gambling and money laundering yet people defend them
>>748562949Yeah but that's the game's code, not steam.>trust the FBI for not understanding thisIf you just tried to use things to get free DLC you would understand this but I guess they never did this because they're super squeaky clean. Until they're not that is.The malware would literally have to utilise steam's code specifically, not the game's.Though frankly, I consider all DRM malware so this is laughable to me. Steam itself and the games using it are all malware. Security. Through insecurity.A true Half-Life-esque motto.We do this today in most proprietary software. That's why hacks by "AI" are really happening. They put the malware vector there to begin with for shit like DRM and things nowadays like user authentication (ironic right?).
>>748554569I really do not give a shit, I truly don't. But your thread made me decide to buy the Frame, just so I can post a picture here to flex on your poor seething soul.

>>748563798But that would leverage AI or some other bullshit excuse that's just there to leverage DRM and gates on the user. I'll bet they have some department in these corps that tells them that giving the player the ability to do things with their game is a problem. You might be able to play your game. That's a problem.You're not meant to play the game, you're meant to give them money and not cause trouble to their income stream. Whether it ruins the game is irrelevant to them. What's important is that you're still playing it and giving them money.And if competition exists? Drown them out, attack them in courts, sabotage them, whatever it takes.This lender is too big to fail. It can't fail. You can't kill it. It owns you and everything you do now.

>>748554935>>748554569It's actually the Rothschild, who lost and got gaped in court when they tried to snuff Valve. Since then the assaults on valve only increased tremendously. This is how Jews create a monopoly and affirm dominance, they shit up the market and backstab any purveyors of good services so the standards are lowered.
>>748563987that's not what the rabbis here told me.>who do think hates jews the most nowadaysI'll give you a guess....It's Jews. kekIt's like white people with white people.Or black people with black people.The reason why is because they get so frustrated with being a cog in a machine that they start to take it out on the people around them for not doing things.Crab bucket.I'm at the bottom of the bucket. Bordering poverty. (ok I do have a pc, so maybe the crab just above that dude kek).
Society is more like a human centipede, the rich/influential is the first guy, the homeless/impoverished is the last guy.More importantly, it is nothing but poop.

>>748565268>So the Epstein class.... (its just jews but normalfags are not allowed to name them so they just say epstein class)No literally the fucking Rothschilds.>Valve Corporation won a landmark federal jury trial in February 2026 against prolific patent inventor Leigh Rothschild and his associated entities for bad-faith patent infringement assertions and breach of contract.Since then they've had shills attacking Valve 24/7 on every platform.
>>748564687Sounds like something the rich kikes and English nobility will say to normalize misery, same way nihilism is used in medias now to bombard consumers with a mindset making them weak to defeatism, depression, and to be exploited with no fear of seeing them fight back. Quite literally the tick saying "it can't be helped, just learn to cope with it" when it's spotted sucking someone's blood. Oh, got banned ( le racism ) for talking shit about the Rothschild btw even though nobles and jews aren't a race, jannynegro's working hard for his paycheck.
>>748565462Remember who gave lands to the Jews, the Thatchers, the king's portraits with the flames of hell, who burned Jeanne of Arc and all that. Korea had an esoteric sect running the government, nothing unbelievable about english nobility being equally as bad but with a world sized influence.
>>748563987>Ah, you’re Aussie>You’ll learn soon enough that its not who you think it is causing your life to be shitjews dismantled the White Australia policy and flooded Australia with third worlders. I doubt Bruce is going to forgive nor forget.
>>748565667Ok but what does any of that have to do with the Rothschilds having a fucking meltdown after losing to Valve in court?
>>748565167I remember Gabe dropping "random Russian pirate provides better service than a licensed distributor". It was such a crazy thing to say back when everyone was hiding their games behind horrible anti-piracy protections and pretending that every pirated game was money stolen directly from them.
>>748565771Who the fuck says no to the Rothschilds and think he can continue to breath? It got them all tilted.
>>748554569He's stealing 30% to spend on throat singing while everyone else is stealing 30% to spend on destroying everything I like.

It’s annoying when people mistakenly believe that Gay Ben is their personal friend, but someone had to become the biggest player in the digital game market, and Valve’s vision for it certainly has been less garbage than we would have got with other alternatives such as Microsoft or EA.You could also always complain about whether anyone deserves to earn so much that they can get multiple gigayachts, but looking at the sheer world-ruining asshattery that many billionaires participate in, fucking off to sea to autistically obsess over maritime creatures is probably on the less harmful side of billionaire obsessions.

Steamies are genuinely subhuman, it's like if Amazon had a fanbase who refused to buy anything if it wasn't listed on Amazon and praised Amazon constantly for shipping them all their food and household products. Except Amazon actually do physical work to send packages while Steam's servers harvest money automatically. All because Valve made a few good games 20 years ago and their fat CEO replies to your emails sometimes

>>748566968i recognize that image
>>748554569Because he spents it on yatch and mongolian singing lessons and not on lobbying to american goverment to stop making old games playable despite claming that you are the representatives of gamers or kneecapping any archivist action right after you downloaded the whole internet to train your slop generator despite years of bitching about torrenting from the net.
>>748567312That actually makes it worse. Instead of developing and selling games for an open platform, they do so on a proprietary platform. It made sense back in the PS2 era when component compatibility and all that was a real problem for hardware but now consoles are literally built from PC components.
>>748554569>GoG>Xbox Store>PS Store>Nintendo StoreWhy didn't you include these since they also "steal" 30% of all sales.
>>748567554> not on lobbying to american goverment to stop making old games playable despite Have you thought about why Steam is the only platform that can operate in China's grey area without heavy regulation? From a positive perspective, it acts as a bridge between the two sides of the new Cold War.
>>748567715because those aren't competition of timmy
Or making money of forcing people to forbade their patents to sell their stuff on your site while you copy paste their innovation with 1/5 of cost and 1/2 of their price like certain Amazon does.
>>748567732>Have you thought about why Steam is the only platform that can operate in China's grey area without heavy regulation?Valve stays out of politics and simply follows all the laws of each country without virtue signaling

>>748554569He makes Tim Sweeney seethe though, so all is forgiven.
>>748554569not the dudes fault game devs are too lazy now to sell their games on their web

>>748560883That's basically the thinking of pretty much everyone who ever tried to make their launchers, failing miserably because surprise surprise, those things attracts users and keep them on the platform.You can't have Steam userbase without putting effort, sorry.

>>748554569That's pretty based thobeit
>>748554569I'm going to make a point I think few others would think of making. Mongolian throat singing is objectively awesome and worth the any price to learn.
>>748574295You pay higher prices due to Valve's monopoly and price parity rules.
>>748574574you're describing consoles, retard
>>748574274The main argument Steamies used to make to try to convince indie developers to publish through Steam was that gamers only trusted Steam to protect them from malware embedded in games.Now you argue that it's not Steam's fault they did nothing to protect their customers from malware.Kinda feels like these arguments are so flexible because they're entirely disingenuous.
>>748574574>higher prices>yet prices are cheaper than consoles while offering more features at no additional cost
>>748575052>you're describing consoles, retardi see they're not sending their brightest indians
>>748575245are you ever going to take your meds, retard?what the fuck does your retarded argument have to do with developers trusting steam when it's some retarded developers incriminating themselves?can you think for a second?
>>748575383who are you accusing of being a jeet when you're that retard that unironically shills mobile stores?yes, consolesconsoles are monopolies because you have to use their centralised servicesyou don't have to use steam, you're just mad because everyone prefers it and have some retarded grudge against it
>>748554569>explain to meJust use an archive and read any of the other thousands of same threads that have been posted in the last 10 years
>>748575395cool malware store you got there
>>748554569>"They will all think of you as a hero, as someone to look up to, & that's why you must leave this cruise...."
No one has to use Steam. You could sell it on your site if you wanted.,
>>748560883Don't worry, nobody wants anything you make either
>>748575475thanks for acknowledging that you don't even understand your own retarded argument
>>748575450>he's got every /v/ users IP and knows exactly who i amoh fuck mod perms steam shill on the loose guys >>748566865
>>748554569Imagine if Nintendo or Sony respected its customers as much as Valve does. Imagine if your purchase of Super Mario Bros on the Wii eShop carried over to the DS, 3DS, WiiU, Switch, Switch 2, Imagine if they didnt expect for you to buy it again.Steam is the best thing that has ever happened to PC gaming and has done immeasurable good for it. It beat Piracy by just offering a better service. PC gaming as a market had grown exponentially thanks to Steam. Valve earned its 30% cut, Gabe earned his yachts and Mongolian singing lessons. Which is more than you can say about cowardly Tim Sweeney who sold out and betrayed gamers to China first chance he got.
>>748575637>mfw writing this
>>748575637But Nintendo fans don't want that
>>748575614no, i'm assuming you're the same fucking moron that's been spamming those threads over and over considering it's the same useless shit arguments being recycled over and over
>>748554569OUR FUCKING HERO
>>748574274In at least one case it is the devs being too lazy to properly configure their workshop integration and just allowing some packed file format to be uploaded that was able to contain anything, including malicious executables On top of their game helpfully automatically subscribing you to workshop items that someone else in multiplayer selected with barely any confirmation prompts and then loading them
>>748562690>erm actually haven't you seen the latest [clickbait breadtuber video where they turn a 3 sentence news article into a 20 min video with unfunny commentary]what did the fbi find anon, they don't have investors and literally every time they get sued it's an even larger corporation trying to steal their money or eurofags crying about gambling

Why is it that the people who complain about Steam's 30% cut never make their own store front to compete with Steam?
>>748575718Im a Nintendo fan and would love if my eShop purchases were platform agnostic and didnt expire next time Nintendo puts out new hardware. Id feel a lot better about spending $20 on a 30+yo rom if it was forever part of my Nintendo account's library.Same goes for Sony and Microsoft. My steam account is old enough to drink and the games I bought as teenager are still on there and I can download and install them on any PC I own, its a wonderful feeling.
>>748576424>Why is it that the people who complain about Steam's 30% cut never make their own store front to compete with Steam?Epic did, and takes a 12% cut and gives you free games and people still can't be arsed to use the Fortnite store.
>>748554569People who are rich are all evil, the richer they are the more evil they are.He will spend millions of dollars on obscene luxuries instead of helping people who are dying and suffering. Imagine being this cruel, he's worse than the most cartoonishly evil person in a fantasy story.

>>748576874Steamies used to love Wolfire when his Humblebundles showered them in cheap steam keys. Now they hate him. Unfortunately for them he has the power of furry on his side. Worst mistake Gabe ever made. Never try to fuck over a furry.
>>748568754okay but what if they were...15% cheaper?
>>748562554The difference between those two is you either disliking or liking whoever makes the money.
>>748562551How are you this dumb? What else do you think?>isn't a hotel just like a prison?!>isn't all sex just rape?!Stop having opinions if your brain doesn't work. And especially don't call out contradictions if your brain doesn't work. Just assume that you are wrong. Because you are.
>>748556994Why would you put your game on Steam then? Are you stupid? Just don't do that.
>>748562387Isn't it weird how all the countries without billionaires in Africa are complete shitholes? How can that be, if there are no rich people who clearly steal everything? Like everybody knows that I was just about to found miracle Amazon before that Bezos fuck stole it from me.
>>748563436>guys they make like 3 cent when somebody sells a shitty skin>and there are at least 1000 of those skins being sold>that has to be a lot of money Shut your whore face up. I like being able to sell random garbage for peanuts. And if you were locked into a room with a computer until you could explain what money laundering is you'd die in there.
>>748577492What if instead of you paying $70, they would pay you?!

>>748576526because i dont give a fuck if valve takes 30% or timmy gets 12% or your mother gets 80% of the price of a gameit doesn't make the game cheaper for me. i dont give a fuck about itand i still haven't see a single game worth playing giving away for free on the epic storetheir launcher is also shit . at least it was the last time i used it to play ut4
>>748576625>instead of people who are dying and sufferingno one cares anonyou donti dontthey dont
>>748554569Idgaf how much of a cut gabe takes from game devs, even less now that they're all trannys trying to propagandize the masses.Actually you know what? The cut is too small, Gabe should take a 90% cut.
>>748578929thisdevs dont deserve shit
>>748554569As opposed to the 30% that is paid out to vendors, manufacturers, and distributors of physical games.
>>748554569Steam increased PC gaming revenue by an amount that far surpasses royalties. Small and indie studios were given a way into making a name for themselves without whoring themselves out to a publisher.
>>748554569Because he told me in advance, and everyone else is also trying to get 30% but they're not helping me in any capacity but Steam is extremely useful

ITT Anon learns what basic retailing is
>>748576953Extreme tl;dr is that he generated steam keys for his shitty game and then tried to sell them on his own website for much cheaper. Steam found out and got mad and he basically burned himself repeatedly trying to fight fire with his bare hands.
>i wish it was 40%
its so sad Tim will never have any hold onto the videogame industry like he would wish to. Cant have all those ads all over the page, or the spyware making you money like in Epic store. Must suck, eh Tim?
>>748554569>sony takes 30%>microsoft takes 30%>nintendo takes 30%> >steam takes 30%>GABEN IS LITERALLY KILLING THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY
>>748554569We would all do the same thing if we were in his position. He’s basically the captain kking of his cruiseliner with presumably Filipino slaves and when he’s had enough of everyone’s bullshit he can just set sail
>>748581998Ignore these threads. It's just epic timmies seething.
>>748578245that would be horrifying because theyd want something out of it>>748578338tell me you dont gamedev without telling me you dont gamedev
>>748582376Its mind boggling how anti-consumer Tim is. Doesn't help that the dude is a genuine retard and so he can't hide his overt disgust for his own customers like most industry sociopaths.
>>748554569He's the only good guy left. Once he croaks steam will be a subscription service and you won't be able to access """"""""your"""""""" games unless you pay $50 a month
>>748562690>Gasoline is over $6 anonThis nigger lives on the west coast I'm still not even at $5 yet
>>748582376Why Tim is so obnoxious. Thank god it makes it hard for them.With this same logic, he thinks the same of the Steam reviews, and their positioning on the store layout.
>>748576106Are you a retard? This isn't saying vavle doesn't allow lower off-platform prices, is that they won't allow them to give steam a non-competitive rate (I.E. using valve's framework for free advertising)
>>748562690lmao crying cucks like this only points to steam being the only good thing left in the industry
ITT shareholders throwing fits because they want a cut of a private businesses money.
>>748554569I unironically wish Steam was an actual monopoly.
>>748554569Explain to me why I should care.
>>748583673Tim is too retarded to mask his contempt for the customer. If he got his way Steam would be magnitudes worse solely because it benefits him and other devs.
>>748584630if steam was a monopoly all the hardware manufacturers and nvidia would be forcibly raped into supporting linux and freeing people from jeetdows forever
>>748563412>They found cancer inside a person not on humansSee how stupid you sound anon
>>748585591It’s the NDA that Valve makes game studios and developers sign. It’s this NDA that hides Valve’s real illegal behavior.
>>748562690>Gasoline is over $6It's $3.6 where I am.
>>748587293and i wish they enforced itno one's going to miss the <1% of sales they get outside of steamthe only real change is that you'd seethe more, you esljeet

>>748554569leftist hatred of boats must be studied
>>748554569hi tim
>>748589830and gabe jewell sold out to yacht bullshitkeep watiing for that hl3 retard
>>748554569>publish via steam>steam takes a 30% cut, you keep 70% of sales>publish via a traditional publisher>traditional publisher pays you wages and takes all the profit for themselvesSteam can free you from greedy publishers entirely. The fact that some studios do not make use of this is their problem.
>>748576106The Wolfire case points to one extreme, egregious problem Steam does have, and has has for ages, and that they need to do something about desperately:Nobody knows what the fucking rules are. Gabe’s off masturbating with knives on his boat and nobody in the office knows what the fuck is going on. An indie studio will release a game and 4 sequels on Steam and then the 5th will get permabanned for content policy violations with no reasoning. The Wolfire dev here is mad because tech support answered his question in a way that is explicitly contradicted by the Steamworks developer terms and conditions. Everyone down there is just making shit up as they go.
>>748578678You mean like build deep sea research platforms since all government funding for deep sea research has been cut off for like 50 years? Because that’s what most of the mega yachts are.
>>748554569>offer a service>charge a feeWhy does this anger leftists so much?
>>748556535This. These jealous slobs should unironically neck themselves
>>748554569He isn't seem as "evil" because he has that santa claus stereotype. His presents are literally the Steam sales.Reason why the brainless gamers give him a free pass
>>748554569Because every big-box retailer that also sells video games exists, and not only takes 30%, but also sells you horsemeat, e-coli topped lettuce, is implimenting surge pricing and targeted pricing, follows you around the store documenting everything you do with a full sensory suite built into the shopping cart, and stocks most of its merchandise with the products of chlld labor from third-world sweatshops.If anything, the fat man is the lesser of the evils in the industry. Though I fully understand why getting constantly shut down and BTFO, would make him seem more so to do the average EGS shill with Timmy's hand up their ass.
>>748590698Retail distribution is not equal digital distribution, brainlet fool. The 30% cut is extremely unfair for a digital store.
>>748591023getting 70% from digital is in fact fairer than getting 50% from physical and further losing revenue on reselling, you ape
The individual is the most oppressed minority. Gabe Newell is a great man of history and has earned every cent.
>>748591023>digital has no overhead costs tied to its distributionKill yourself, pajeet.
>>748590627And what is he doing that harms me? What is he doing that is evil? Buying yachts? Nigger, get real. Sure we all wish we had a big boat, but you get nowhere in life by seething like a bitch.
>>748578084Actually the reason africa is a shithole is the exact same reason argentina is a shithole and why the uk is becoming a shithole.They expect industrialization and agricultutr without putting in the supporting education and tools required.Its academics and thinktank politiciand being clueless to what large scale blue-collar workforce actually requires
>>748591557Imagine if Nintendo, in the 80s, with the success of the NES, had taken most of the profits generated by it and directed them towards something unrelated to video games.Imagine if Sony, in the 90s, with the success of the original playsation, had taken most of the profits generated by it and directed them towards something unrelated to video games.Imagine if Sony, during the mid 2000s, with the success of the PS2, had taken most of the profits generated by it and directed them towards something unrelated to video games.Imagine if Nintendo, in the early 2010s, with the success of the Wii, had taken most of the profits generated by it and directed them towards something unrelated to video games.See the problem now, dumbass?This fat fuck crippled the entire gaming industry.Not only that, but he also created extremely predatory monetization mechanics, such as battlepasses and lootboxes. He made underage kids addicted to gambling. He is not the good guy.
>>748592898>he created [...] lootboxescut this part
>>748562690>caring about what NY is doing>everlol, lmao even
>>748592898they have all fucking done this you dumbassdo you think all fucking developers and publishers reinvest everything into games?and valve has in fact done more than those worthless faggots considering that everything sony and nintendo ever did was self serving

>>748583673Tim has said before that he doesn't think customers are the driving force in the industry and that developers/publishers can essentially lead them around forcefully. He has an extremely skewed view on the video game market that is provably wrong.

>>748595546>and when I say nothing happens I mean you take your share for the one copy sold but with Epic you lose the refund costs.
Gabe spending it on Mongolian throat singing lessons is less of a waste of fucking time than many other publisher moguls like Bobby Kotick or Tim Sweeney doing literally nothing with it at worst and pissing it away on live-service slop at best.
>>748590094>sold outyou mean he bought a yacht company. Also Half Life Alyx already released, so you lost tranny.
Chuds love billionaires like trump, gabe, elon over normal people. These billionaire actually have their own cultists that defend them no matter what like trump and gabe. Thats why valve cultists behave similarly to trump maga cultists
>>748595410Steamdeck. I don't feel the need to have a sony or nintendo handheld now when I already have a pc handheld.

For everything Steam has done for PC gaming they should get at least 50% if not more
>>748554569>destroyed amazon luna, destroyed ubislop store, destroyed gwfl, destroyed sony's securom, destroyed starforce, responsible for most of the indie game boom, made pc handhelds viable, made linux viable for gaming>made pc as big as all 3 consoles put together so now japs and most console only devs have to port their games to pcThere's literally no gaming CEO who has done more for the consumer than gaben. I no longer feel the need to buy 2-3 consoles every generation.
>>748597317Yes, but what the fuck does that have to do with me or video games you fucking retard? Epic being bought by china directly affects what they produce and how they handle things. Some fat rich fuck using his wealth for himself like every other fat rich fuck has nothing to do with me. Do you dumb fucking jeets just get told to follow the script no matter what or you risk not getting paid, even if it makes no sense?
>>748594418>>748595440>>748596964>>748597708Doing crimes like:- Not offering refunds- Not following EU Geography trade law- Not declaring Games as licensed products- Stealing game controllers patent- Illegal paid mod of All StarsIs not a reason to support them, you’re only promoting their crimes.
>>748592898This is untrue. thanks to steam I no longer have to buy Monster Hunter or any jap games on consoles. Also Capcom is wildly successful and making more money than ever on PC.
>>748598037>Yes, but what the fuck does that have to do with me or video games you fucking retard?Cause he's not making video games and instead investing that money into yachts
>>748598284>Also Capcom is wildly successful and making more money than ever on PC.lol>inb4 he uses the disingenuous sales argument
>>748562690Gasoline is $4.32, you lying kike.
those 30% pay for steam services.
I would anti valve and Gabe if you would pay me. I like to shitpost. I can shitpost for money.
>>748599056How much do you think those services cost, its mostly just hosting a game on a server. Google and Apple way more services than valve yet apple and Google only take 15% from their games.
>>748554569I don't know about his morals specifically so I can't answer your stupid question OP, but Steam singlehandedly pisses off MIcrosoft and without it the PC gaming landscape would be complete and utter ass right now.
>>748598864>shows one game>Dragon's dogma 2 >2024
>>748554673any mention of yachts or 30% cut = epic games propagandist script
>>748599239google and apple are public companies that enjoy the benefit of having money funneled into their coffers via deficit spending and 401ks and other dumb shit like that. like hell microsoft has not make an actually good product people might want to buy since like 2005 but they're just sticking around due to sheer corpo inertia
>>748598230>low energy paltry list of nothing burgersSorry faggot. There is no bigger sin in gaming than forced exclusivity and forced proprietary drm boxes to play 60-70 dollar movie slop and rehashed sequels.

To people saying a small group of individuals "cannot simply rule a large portion of the population" I give you every single organization: private or public.The government is a small few ruling the many. A company has a President/CEO/Board of directors making the majority of decisions. Any functioning business will have a manager who leads the employees. The family has a father or mother leading the children. It's how things are ruled. Kings rule peasants, elites are few, plebs are many. Of course a few individuals can rule the population. Captains, commanders, football coaches. It is all a top-down hierarchy. Ask yourselves who is at the top and what decisions benefit which interest groups.
>>748599239>its mostly just hosting a game on a serverAnd 100gb per game cloud saves for playersAnd community forums for every game, giving a free social media portal so companies can justify hiring the community managers they've already hired, and give them actual work to do.And common dev tools and apis for things like achievements, this also gives a free and easy and less controversial progression telemetry because you can have progression based achievements and see how many people get to certain points in the games you made.

>>748599703NTA but wasn't gas just under $3 at the start of the year? Having it jump up a whole dollar before a full year is insane.
>>748562690>NY is charging them for gamblingName one Valve game that Americans play that has lootboxes. That dumb cunt is grasping at straws.
>>748599239>GoogleAnon, the steam workshop for wallpaper engine alone has more features and flexibility than the playstore to the point where even chinks use it to safely download porn and anime.
>>748568846>Don't need a yacht for searchingwtf do you know retard, even a basic google search shows that they use yachts for research>>748574370I never said the cure for cancer ESL retard. I said cancer MEDICINE. Fucking moron.
>>748599239Why are you so THINK OF THE DEVELOPERS and THINK OF THE CHILDREN?Nobody cares about the former, and you think too much about the latter.
>>748599430Steam is forcing gamedev to only release in Steam which is why you don’t see games outside of Steam. The NDA is believed to make gamedev sign away their rights to release in other platforms. This was a topic that was once talked about. We can’t ask gamedev because legally they don’t have lawyers defending them or the money. As for bigger studios with money and lawyers, it’s believed they signed a different contract which aligns with Valve’s discrimination policies on indiedev.“proprietary drm boxes” exist in Steam Machine as you’re forced into their ecosystem to create an account. Steam controller is also only exclusive to Steam. SteamOS doesn’t allow dual boot. You can’t play games unless it’s running Proton a software application by Valve under the Steam app.Yes Steam does offer rehash movies and games. DOTA 2 is not the original version, CS2 is not the original and so on.Steam under Valve corporation is the very thing you hate.
>>748601350what the fuck are you smoking that every PC game has to be on steam?
>>748600046>The hat lootbox in TF2>Counter Strike lootbox>DOTA lootbox>Your possible chance at winning Valve Corporation productsYes anon, they are promoting gambling.
>>748554569Test
>>748600369There is no record of it. There is no research on it. There is no team. Just a dumb interview claiming they PLAN on doing something. They never said they did anything.
>>748601429https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/onboarding> You will also need to electronically sign the Non Disclosure Agreement and the Steam Distribution Agreement.It’s real case for monopoly charges.
>>748601856Ok, find star sector or vintage story on steam then.
>>748601856It's not a monopoly, their competitors keep adamantly refusing to offer good services. You can't just sue someone for being more consumer-friendly than you.
>>748562690>but muh FBIThe western equivalent of saying the KGB found proof person is bad. Totally legit.
>>748554569If someone is naturally skinny they don't look evil.If someone is naturally fat they don't look evil.But if someone is fat as fuck and then magically becomes skinny, they look weird and evil. That shit NEVER works. Skinny Gabe scares me.
>>748601487Again, you failed to name a game that anyone outside of the Soviet bloc plays. What does a New York AG have to do with it?
>>748554569Rather them than me, lol.
>>748601856So you're not allowed to sell games on Steam and other stores? That's your story? I'm right about that so far?
>>748554569What did he wrong? Not taking 20 bucks a month to steal 30% like consoles do?
>>748567268The next half life is in development along with prototypes for a new Left 4 Dead and a new VR IP.Expect releases between 2029 and 2035
>>7486027242 more weeks until half life lost coast 2
>>748602793I'm not making shit up. I am a literal janitorial staff for Valve and they let me do a QA test for the next Half Life entry. I ended up spending 28 minutes in one of the tunnel mazes and they had to spend 1 extra week remaking that level.
>>748599998That was before dozy Don started a war with Iran.
>>748602873x"d"d"d
Baste. Id do Mongolian throat singing duets with him and overall not be a.cunt.
>>748554569>>30%>when the percentage goes down with revenueLook, I hate online storefronts and accounts, but if you're gonna criticize a corporation try to at least get basic facts straight
>>7486022135 different government agencies found Valve being a criminal organization.Australia, Europe, German, United States and U.K are real government entities. You’re delusional to believe they are lying.
>>748562690FBI are a terrorist organization, Steam sells you games.
>>748603261>sellsrents out*Sorry, force of habit
>>748602342Fine more more examples then:>Artifact card pool was lootbox and fall into the power creep trap>The Nexon collaboration shooter game had lootbox>>Left for dead, lootboxThey are bad people anon.
>>748603261>License malware under pretense of a gameWho to believe, a Steam Cultist who defends corporate interests or FBI operatives with years of cybersecurity history?
>>748554569Because everyone else is laughably more evil.
>>748562690>Gasoline is over $6 anonThats still half the price the rest of the world has been paying since covid. Its been $12/gallon everywhere else since at least 2020.
>>748603642I can see you've never dealt with the FBI before.
>>748586987that doesn't even make sense
>>748567287if blood rituals worked chinks would be immortal by now
>>748603715Yet their experience is real, they only hired real professional people anon. You on the other hand don’t have noteworthy skills, achievements or connections.
>>748591023It's not when your store does as little as yours does, Timmy, that's true.
>>748554569>successful business owner spends money pursuing his hobbies(the yacht is also a research vessel btw).You're right OP. He should be funneling that money into AI instead.
>>748603839laughable, its in the ssa that you can't pass this shit onyou bought a license to software
>>748603669None of them committed crimes against gamers. They offer refunds while Valve fought to the Supreme Court. Not a single game studio stole game controllers in the United States. Gamedevs didn’t fight France digital rights law, only Valve. Companies didn’t fight copyright infringement in U.K, only Valve.They are criminals anon.
>>748603926Well, I can.Suck to be you.

>>748603219>5 different government agencies found Valve being a criminal organization.>>Australia, Europe, German, United States and U.K are real government entities. You’re delusional to believe they are lying.Governments are literally nothing other than criminal organisations that extort and oppress on a massive scale.
>>748604010>Funding =\= research or developmentFunding is not research anon, paper doesn’t list their findings or exploration. Zero documentation on their methodology or the goals they want to achieve.Stop making assumptions.
>>748554569He gives me $80 games for as little as $2.99. Simple as
>>748562949facebook has done worse but it's still buddies with the government. oh wait that's the issue here, it's not a public company, so the terrorist organization is looking for any excuse to jump on valve.
>>748603990
>>748604010Also paper was from 2023, nothing on current year or history of research that followed it.
PC """""gamers""""" are "playing" Dressmaker, while we play GOTY potential aka Wolverine.
>>748554569Good morning sir.
>>748604143wooooaaaaah ho shit ho no that was haaaard
>>748604143>ChatGPT answer
>>748603521Again, none of those are played in the first world. I use the store because it has no competition. And I don't steal because I'm not a member of a tribe.
>>748603642I like how you lie and imply the FBI is investigating Valve, when they contacted the FBI over the malware popping up unusually often.>>748604143I can share my games with someone legally, and they'll have access to them now and after I die.
>>748604143>can suspend Something that has never happened. Same with creamAPI being a thing that they do not give a shit about. There is even a game people use in Steam for some pirated game features and they can use it to track people who pirate, and yet it has not happened once.

>>748554673Kek. Lick the boot some more, faggot. Then maybe go thank your government for charging you out the ass for healthcare.
>>748604839It's used for legitimate purposes, too, so it's hard to track piracy with it.A lot of non-Steam VR games use it to hook SteamVR.
>>748554569yeah the yachts are pretty bad but that's standard richfag with more money than they know what to do with farethroat singing is based
>>748554569Him being unable to afford yachts doesn't benefit me in any way. On the other hand, him being able to afford yachts seem to make some annoying faggots very upset, which is entertaining at the very least.
>>748602420but you can do that. You just can't undercut steam while doing that
>>748604120>>748604169You have no idea how academia or research works.https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.14.e182172A research company doesn't post methodology or publish papers. They operate and work through public-private partnerships to assist researchers like the ones of this page.https://www.uwa.edu.au/oceans-institute/partnerships/deep-sea-research-centreAre you gonna goal post move next and be like>Acktually providing a yacht for a scientific researchers isn't doing the research>Gaben still has the yachtBecause of course he still has the fucking yacht, he owns the fucking thing and built a lab in it to support all these researchers.
>>748606806But he was claiming that Valve had exclusivity claims in the sales agreement. Surely a schizo on 4chan is backing his arguments with facts.
LOOK LOOK AT ME IM RETARDED CONTRARIAN WITH VERY CONTROVERSIAL OPINIONholy shit /v posters must be some of the lowest iq motherfuckers on this entire site, it's always obvious reddit type of thread that gets so many replies
>>748554569because when he created steam, it was solely for the purpose of pretending people renting HL2 or loaning it, knowing it was about 8 hours long.He then spent over 80% of budget into revisionist marketing history to make himself seem goodAll you're doing is seeing how an actual piece of shit operates in real time. Most kids (ie under 35) have no fucking clue how evil this man is. He has done more damage than DLC has done to the industry. Even monthly psses in slop like call of duty or other gun and ball games pale in comparison to effectively destroying an entire fucking franchise of gaming with over 50 years of history
>>748554569>Rothschild, Rothschild, another lawsuit that you'll lose, please!
Would you rather have a shitty company take 100% of the profit or have them take 70% while Steam takes 30% off their pie?I personally think Steam should take 75% and devs/publishers 25%
>>748562209Which is how you can get refunds.
Friendly reminder
>>748597425I'd rather have them do nothing than waste resources enshittifying products to justify expenses like most software companies do.
>>748611469To be fair there are a lot of other stores but all of them are dogshit.Can EA Store hold my CSGO skins? No.Can Uplay load when I want to buy something? No.
>>748611548exactlytons of stores exist but they all wanted to offer the bare corporate mandated minimum in terms of features and usability and instead relied on just pulling all their games from Steam and making them exclusive
>>748611650According to the schizo, that's something Valve should be punished for. If users won't buy elsewhere, Valve must be destroyed.
>>748611939honestly if devs didnt have a autistic hatred for GoG id buy all of my games there but i accept Steam as a necessary evil.anything other than those 2 is a instant pirate
