  Never said not to argue.

  I said imagine your argument being that because a service does sales all the time and consumer relations better than almost all the competition available in the industry that that’s a bad thing because people spend money on said sales.

  Its a bit of a shit argument.

  “They have so many sales all the time that they force people into spending money they shouldn’t spend! And that’s bad!!”

    “Never said not to argue.” Ok.

    Btw, PlayStation and Xbox provide whole console system, Apple store and Google play are also 30% and they provide iOS and Android. It’s not same as Valve.

      Me saying “imagine arguing” is the same same as saying “your argument is stupid because” and that is not the same as saying not to argue.

      I said imagine arguing the points they argued because they are silly. Lots of storefronts have sales shit epic even gives shit away for free every week and gives 20% back in points when you buy a game fron them but you don’t hear anyone talking about how they “create FOMO” by not participating in their storefront.

      Its a dumb argument. That is what “imagine arguing” means in that context. Hope that helps.

      And yeah they make the console that you have to pay a fee to use internet on. Valve doesn’t do that. If you stop paying their exorbitant fees to use the internet you pay for already to play their games online then you lose half the functionality of your game that you bought. (For multiplayer ones of course).

      Valve also makes systems but yes it isn’t quite the same as how PS and Xbox do it I understand what you are saying. However, everyone acts like Steam is greedy dickheads for charging the exact same rate other platforms charge without also charging you some dumb online play fee which is the real greedy fuckery. Despite them having more users than PlayStation and Xbox combined.

      I think its funny that no one calls out the other companies greedy fuckery though. Just the one that is the nicest to their consumers (being steam)

        I never said GOG is good either, ugh what’s wrong with you.

        You’re trying to defend Steam’s 30% fee for no reason.

        Also if you think “sale is good” and “Steam is customer friendly” then why are you so mad when I talked about Steam’s 30% fee? I just said it’s too high for just a game launcher. Steam’s fee acts like tariff, if Steam lowers fee little bit, game price will go down too. Which is super customer friendly. Don’t you like it?

        Look, I don’t care how much you fangirling Steam, but it certainly doesn’t help Steam any better, I would say.
