My point is, resale is worth money. The less of a used market the more the value diminishes.
Valve only exists because they fucked us a long time ago and created a monopoly.

The thing is, they’re not a monopoly, they just have the best platform. There’s gog, epic launcher, and all the other ones I choose to ignore. They make everything too easy and convenient. I usually buy my games on steam, and if I really enjoyed them I’ll rebuy them on gog later on sale.

Everything you’ve said could be applied to Microsoft or NVidia who you bitch about. Release a game without Steam, I’m sure you’ll do just fine.

Can it? Nvidia fucks me over every day with price gouging, shifting to AI, and making generally shitty cards. Microsoft fucks me every day by being a shitty partner, releasing shit vibe code, refusing to fix glaring bugs, maintaining a shit operating system.
I said valve hasn’t fucked me over yet. Those other two, they’ve fucked me for years.
If graphics cards weren’t the cost of what they are today, I already would have switched to amd. And I also dont run windows on my computer, either, so…
