Thanks for confirming my point
- Comment on 3 days ago:
That’s a lot of words to confirm my point.
- Comment on 3 days ago:
Well yeah.
It’s got the Steam logo on it.
G*mers have been brainwashed to accept anything with that on it.

They did.
They don’t need to anymore because they killed the market of physical discs for PC games.
- Comment on Steam - new record for concurrent players online (37,185,128) on 19th May, 2026 1 week ago:
Except they kinda did.
They pay publishers to use Steam as DRM for physical releases.
If you wanted to play the game on PC, you needed Steam.

Steam used exclusivity deals and anyone selling a game on Steam can’t turn round and sell it at a lower price elsewhere.

After killing the competition with exclusivity deals and shoehorning itself into physical copies as DRM.
I know you weren’t born when that happened, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

The power of monopoly

Daily reminder Valve is a scumbag monopoly.
- Comment on Crazy how it does that 2 weeks ago:
Shhhh. Don’t bring logic into a Lemmy thread.
It scares the Lemmites, because it reminds them they’re not as smart as they try to act.
- Comment on PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies 2 weeks ago:

Only fuck guys.
That’s pretty average for a new game.
I know you lot have a weird hate boner for Sony. But Jesus H Christ

The fact you guys are still treating Trump as a “one off” is wild.
To the rest of the world that’s the image of Americans, for decades now.

- Comment on America 1 month ago:
One of my favourite examples of this is road sign lettering.
Instead of just using the same style as Europe.
They created their own, which caused its own problems.
Then created a replacement, which didn’t help.

- Comment on Steam :: About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve 2 months ago:
Valve is the most pro consumer company there is.
Is that why they argued against refunds for years until the EU forced them to do the bare minimum?
Is that why they happily sell broken games with zero quality control?
Is that why they happily continue to sell abandoned early access products?
Is that why they make back alley deals with publishers to use Steam as DRM for physical releases?
Is that why platform most-favored-nations is used to prevent games being sold for cheaper on other platforms.
Fuck you. You brainwashed G*mer cunt.
- Comment on Steam :: About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve 2 months ago:
Valve is the only market place and game company that isn’t as fucking consumers at every step of the way.
I have physical copies of games that won’t work because of Steam making back alley deals with publishers to push their DRM into securing a monopoly.
Fuck you for excusing monopolistic shithead behaviour because your favourite billionaire has to buy Aston Martins to race.
- Comment on Steam :: About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve 2 months ago:
I guess G*mers love loot boxes now.
Fuck Valve for the profiteering off child gambling.
And fuck the G*mers that keep giving Valve a free pass because they’ve been a monopoly longer then they’ve been alive.
