People have sent me death threats for not liking the new Star Wars who gives a fuck?! Why do i keep seeing people use “death threats” against a major corporate entity as proof of anything? So fucking what? Oh they got death threats? OH WELCOME TO THE INTERNET?

They’d be public if they only cared about profit. It might be 99.9% of what they care about but private businesses do have things they do that aren’t as profitable but they do them to make something better. Or because they want to see it in the world.

Quarter machines and Pokémon cards are gambling, too. Parents are shitty. Their kids shouldn’t even be on steam until older and then why do they have credit cards? Parents are crap.

King pedo is 80 so don’t be ageist now.

Yea, i wouldn’t either after 2025.
No one cares about the environment. If they fucking did $60 random stuffed ugly animal packs wouldn’t be sold the fuck out everywhere. Shein and temu wouldn’t exist.
I’m not even sticking up for him. I just don’t see anyone giving a fuck anywhere but a whole lot of bitching.

Every alternative offered in this thread: whoops another billionaire!
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Yea but in the end sure he didn’t fund steam he just became another shitty billionaire with way way worse opinions. Cool. That’s not winning… at all…

LOL SPOKEN LIKE SOMEONE WHO HAS NO IDEA!
You get no fucking reach on socials now. None. It’s all pay to play! I’m speaking fully from experience i do this full time!

Obviously break you apart so those same shitty competitors can buy you up and make everything worse!
Oh but the stock market will have a chance to go up a bit. Always look on the bright side.

Same people trying to claim Google is weighing search for the left.
But they are pieces of shit (Google) and anti competitive. So fuck then entirely.

For me it’s simply about choice. There are so so so so many choices for gaming I could not say there’s a monopoly on it. Especially when I can just turn to the open market: piracy.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Ok but it’s not a monopoly no matter how much it’s repeated. It’s not. Words have meaning.

I don’t want to fucking tax them! Fuck that! Do you see who runs this government?!?! Fuck that shit!
Redistribute that fucking wealth right back to us immediately! Don’t let those greedy government pigs take it! I’d rather valve have it!

Amazon started it. They are the market when it comes to books.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
The entirety of third party selling on Amazon is under this agreement. This is why i don’t think Steam will lose. Not because they shouldn’t, but because the money and power behind this are not valve at all.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Other way around? Steam was Microsoft’s competitor back in the day. Steam killed them once already.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
It’s funny that they tried to get indie devs paid for their contributions to these games (and therefore incentivizing more great mods) and gamers were like FUCK THAT SHIT! Typical, honestly. So now there’s no legal way to charge for mods and you get to do it only for fun asking people for coffee tips.
Imo this was Bethesda more than valve, anyways, and while it would make both of them too much money doing that it would have gotten regular people paid, too. Which they deserve, by the way.

I would pay $60 for a game on Steam before a free one on epic. I don’t want 1000 launchers. Bad enough these individual companies have them now.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Other platforms sucking is not a monopoly. That’s the opposite of one.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Yea we fucking should, but steam is not a monopoly.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Because Steam is simply not a problem when we have so many places to go!
Our utilities don’t have options AT ALL! Yet that isn’t being fucking fixed?!
- Comment on 6 days ago:
We lived it, babe. We were literally there when it happened.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
We’d mostly all go straight to piracy and we all know it.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
That’s a fucking patent?!
- Comment on 6 days ago:
And if gamers actually only bought the games they were going to play and finish, not a single game dev would have a job outside of EA.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Yea we are talking about platforms that sell vs platforms that are desperate to sell.
Do you buy games from fucking Microsoft of all companies?!
It’s a joke to think that Microsoft is doing this for any other reason besides they have to to trick idiots into investing into their platform (again after giving it up the first fucking time!)
Gog and itch are fine but itch is definitely a particular gamer market. Gog is easier to use for pirated games.

Everyone in here is just choosing a different flavor of billionaire to get behind, though.
Epic is not a co-op, lol.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Ask devs which platform performs for them.
0% cut sounds nice until you sell nothing.
Same with the rest.
Oh yea I’ve got a platform right now that is charging 0% (out of the goodness of their heart I’m sure LOL yea right) and I make… nothing! Nada! Why? Because no one fucking wants to buy through them!
Meanwhile the platforms taking more are paying the bills and more.
