Ya well if it’s such a fucking low bar, it’s probably because they aren’t holding it up which is my point.
They do the absolute minimum, yet receive mountains of praise. Call me when he brings down the cut to something reasonable like 5% or just let’s dev choose what price they sell their games for on other platforms ffs.
Indie companies are closing left and right, these mega stores and their soft monopoly is having a net negative impact on the industry.
Stop defending billionaires. If steam was fair, he wouldn’t be able to afford a billion dollars worth of fancy boats.

Your argument was that Steam is identical to Microsoft and Nintendo. Stop moving the goalposts.

Okay, so to be clear, I’m saying they don’t have enough difference between them when it comes to being a gross monopolistic company to warrant the praise.
All four of them suck, I’m saying they are all in the same group of shifty companies that take advantage of the gaming industry and it’s clients (us).

So just a boring, generic anti-capitalist take that deliberately avoids any nuance for the sake of feeling smug.
Gee, why would anyone downvote that!

There’s not enough nuance to justify drinking Gabens sweat.
Why is he the only billionaire that gets his own little simp squad. Can you imagine going into a thread about how Elon Musk is being a dick and 90% of the comments are praising him?
Amazon is super convenient, yet people still can understand the nuance of it and how it’s harming small businesses, how the government should probably do something and deal with the dragon at its head that’s hoarding all that wealth.
Where’s your nuance? Other than “I like steam and I use it, so it can do no wrong”.
