Evil fucking company

Evil fucking company.

keeeeek is narrative not working anymore
as they intended? Valve being based as always pissing of wokies!

Reminder this faggot tried to get Greece to stop paying its debts.

literally fucking who

do nothing

everyone wants you dead

We don't live in a hellscape.
I think a lot of you have never experienced real hardship.

Apple, Google and Netflix are more to blame for that than Valve when their influence doesn't really extend beyond games

good. I would do the same to you money lending kikes

That’s based though, fuck the EU

digital economic hellscape

??

"hats"

oh, we're talking about microtransactions and stuff. I don't care. Nobody forces me to buy digital garbage, which is why I don't.
Valve saved Linux gaming and therefore Valve is based. I don't care that their platform allows the voluntary exchange of digital junk between consenting adults. It doesn't affect me.

Valve shall rule the world

Yanis is a retard but he was right about that, Greece was being extorted and it rightly said "Go fuck yourself."

Welfare nigger

this faggot tried to get Greece to stop paying its debts.

he doesn't know about economic hitmen

The point of the debts was control, if you don't know this you're either underage or stupid as fuck.

I agree with him. Theres nothing in Greece except tourists, fat smoking greek men in sandles and statues of beautiful young males with tiny penises.

borrow a tonne of money because of your retarded policies

get upset that you have to pay it back under the conditions you agreed to when borrowing it

Greeks are really just gay niggers

holy fucking based

waaaaaaah! WE SHOULD BE IN CHARGE! ATTENTION ALL MEDIA OUTLETS THAT WE OWN! WRITE A SMEAR PIECE!

What a hellscape the spoiled rich have created

Jews* made the digital hell scape.

fuck off kike

nooooo you have to but into my jewish system based on usury and debt, otherwise you’re a heckin niggerino!

providing healthcare and pensions to your people is retarded

Found the jew, yeah shlomo only Israel should have such things

i-it's all valve's fault!

uh... no?

hat simulator is ground zero of microtransaction hell

This isn't a groundbreaking new take, we've been saying this shit forever and a day now.

Not paying back (((debts)))

Based

unintentionally

This man has always been considered a meme among economists. He was also made minister by the edgy new left political party that ruled Greece back then. it was all theater

How come I can't sell my cosmetics to other players for money in games of other companies?

1350594293765.jpg - 500x500, 109.43K

Nobody is forcing you pay to 800 dollars for a CS2 knife skin, retard.

get fucked jew

country A is struggling economically

kikes immediately get their jewdar activated by this so they can lend them let's say as an example, 10bn

act like this is really kind gesture on your part

but then set a date of a few years where said struggling country has to pay back 12bn. Basically impossible, just delaying the current bad situation to an even worse one down the line

in order for the struggling country to be able to meet this deadline now every single citizen in the country is completely fucked

end result: kikes act like they ""helped"" meanwhile the country and it's people were left in an even worse state.

yea, I'm not paying back a dimme. fuck you and your pretend charity

Then i'll listen to what he has to say. The Greeks didn't choose to have Germany expand at their expense, giving it's parasites fake money backed by debt. Their women made whores and their land and industry made cheap. It's reason enough to go to war with what's responsible. I'd like to hope the rest of the world would help in that.

Apple, Google and Netflix never asked me to spend $70 on a download.

We're just going to pretend that it's not mobile platforms and social media games that took all of these bad practices and drove them into the ground while abandoning anything that didn't fit their skinner box designs?

This but for Nintendo

VALVE BAD
now give me free google play gift card codes saars

Someone did go to war over it. He lost in 1945. The last alternative we had to this neoliberal capitalist, debt based system was in 1991. Everything’s been downhill since.

Yannis is a retard, but he definitely a smarter man than the current golem greek politicians. He could have saved greece if siriza didnt cuck out during the moment of truth

OP BTFO by this, 0 replies

but valve forces you to goon by exposing you to the same skin that other players are wielding, even a small taste if you get one from a dead teammate/enemy

former

So what did he do to get kicked out

former finance minister of Greece

lmao, opinion discarded

Paying criminal banks who destroyed the economy.

Retarded beyond belief. Banks should fail, they are not an actual benefit to society when theybdestroy it. The debt can simply be written off by the EU but westoid plutocracies thrive off of fallacious debt hegemony and stealing reasources from so called developing nations.

Those loans were granted with full knowledge that Greece's economic numbers were bullshit. Granted by the banks that caused the eurocrisis, and who got bailed out with state money while Greece was left to rot. Germans and the EU at large were demanding Greece to become a slave state as penance for being broke while the parties that triggered an international recession (and the parties who could've prevented it) faced no real consequences.

They did choose, they could just abstain of joining eu, which was a shit deal for everyone involved in the way it was made. At best it should have been trade union, not a fucking federate state that can force their shit on you.

was Greece's Minister of Finance between January 2015 and July 2015, negotiating on behalf of the Greek government during the 2009-2018 Greek government-debt crisis.

so his opinion doesn't matter at all

That person was put down by the glorified Pinkertons in brownshirts, led by the Fascist puppet named Hitler, and it wasn't in 1945, it was in 1933. Then that same fascist puppet decided to target Soviet Union since they were communist and thus not serving the capitalist interests in Wallstreet.

all the f2p faggots will defend what valve did to tf2

they could just abstain of joining eu

The EU shouldn’t even exist, so joining it and weakening it was one of the most based things for Greece to do. Hopefully it is one day seen as the start of its collapse.

i applied for this "in house economist" position at valve when I was a fresh graduate. They actually took the time to send me a legit email wishing me well with the rejection. Seems like an awesome company.

They did scam the EU, and Germany most of all, for a lot of money. I see why a natural transition would be gaming.

Fuck German misery

Thank you for proving my point that 1991 was the last time we had an alternative to all of this kek

Simple solution: Just don't take the loan.

le demon face

rubbing hands together

"They fired me for being a turbo kike, now I'm gonna start slandering them!"

They take the loan because it'll be someone else's job to fix it by the time they have to pay it back.

Sounds like the fault of the people for electing politicians who are short-sighted and don't think about their country's future in the long term.

just don’t take the loans bro!

just don’t buy into the international financial system and get isolated, sanctioned, and have coups aimed at you bro!

Countries that don’t buy into the international debt based system invariably find themselves needing some “democracy” from the ZOG of the US. Ask Gaddafi or Hussein how not taking the loans and trying to go their own way went for them. Oh wait you can’t because they got murdered kek

That's all of them.

implying there ever was other kind of politicians

Elected government has exactly zero reason to give a single fuck about long term consequences as whoever was making decisions will be long gone by the time shit surfaced. We unironically have to go back to monarchy.

Former econimist

Former

lol lmao

Based Greek.
But also, PAY DENBTS

He is 100% right and steam dick suckers itt are coping hard. Fuck valve and fuck steam.

Preaching to the choir.

Monarchies and one party states are literally the only viable forms of government in the long term, there is no one else to blame when things go wrong and as a result they are far more responsive to their people.

Bankers woo, bribe, lobby, and blackmail politicians to betray their countries.
See Plaza Accords and how it led to the ongoing lost decades of Japan. All because the Japanese dude got tricked by the US guy or was afraid to say no.

Nigger, it would obliterate your economy into African tier wild west lol
That shit could literally give reason for these kikes of yours to take over the county by force lol

Turbo kikes envy Gabe and his ability to charge so much for digital products.

That's why a multipolar world is a good thing. Keeps extortionists honest by introducing competition.

Debt, as a concept, needs an expiration date or it incentivises exponential interest accumulation.

It's a flawed concept because it's too simple.

Here have a dollar at 1000% interest.
After 5 years you owe me more value than the solar system is worth.

"But they signed the contract!"
It's unenforceable garbage and you know it.

Jews want to play the game where they fleece an entity into horrible decline.

No debt master race

lol no it doesn't

if I just do as they say they’ll let me be

Absolutely cucked mentality, they will never leave us alone, the only solution is to fight back

I said steam and valve where evil for 21 fucking years lol and only now people woke up just barely
Still waiting 17 years for half life 3 12 for portal 3 15 for l4d2 and cs2 Alyx and all their new games sucks balls

Nigger, you can't have competition if you don't pay your debts lol

This nigger thinks that the economy will work without debt looooool
Must be nice living on mom's salary or paycheck to paycheck lol

It literally does (see Africa and SEA).
Africa can restructure its debts it owes China endlessly because the west/IMF is waiting in the wings to accuse China of neocolonialism, and Africa can leave Chinese loans and go back to IMF loans if China tries to extort them.

Ok cowboy, go get 'em lol
Just make sure you pay upfront for the pistol and ammo lol

The existence of nigger shitholes is not a positive thing.

You have more leverage on debt you incur if you have competition.

If it weren't for them, most people in the world wouldn't be able to play videogames in a legal way.

No shit nigger, that's why those kikes of yours give you loans in the first place lol

That's a moot point. Those places remain shitholes because one side (NATO) doesn't want the other (BRICS) to consolidate partnership with them.
Hence the attempted CIA coups in Congo and color revolutions in other places.

haha these people who don’t want to participate in a system that literally hates them and wants them dead are stupid, I am very smart and very mature

Imagine coming on Anon Babble to simp for jewish banking kek

americans pretending eu is bad

Have you been to Great Britain lately? It's devolving in real time. Ask a local, they'll tell you white migrants from EU countries are packing up and going back, leaving behind brownoids imported from other continents.

Thanks for agreeing with me. Next time just tell me I'm right.

Either that or UN needs to grow teeth and start herding cats properly.

Imagine thinking the kikes are out to get you because they want their money and interest back because both sides agreed to the deal lol
How's the ethnostate going btw
Built any freeways yet lol

UN can't even stop Israel from invading Lebanon.

Britain still has a lower amount of shitskins than several European nations.

Yeah, I always thought it was funny people shit on monetized game while worshipping Valve; the progenitor of the box+key mtx economy.

Nice

Debt relief or forgiveness and banks failing is economically necessary but the bankers would prefer to immiserate entire nations and rob the public exchequer instead. The only people who should be bailed out are those who lost their life savings to some suit's gambling streak

80% of people employed at Heathrow are different shades of brown.

ethnostate

Only explicit enthnostate in the world rn is Israel kek the JIDF really isn’t sending their best as of late, must be off getting shot to pieces in Lebanon

NATO in itself is absolute shitshow that compromise EU as political entity even if you handwave how absolute aids its domestic bureaucracy is. Europe should be its own powerblock not beholden to interest of china, russia or us, it is a bit late to preach that shit however.

take out a loan

pay it back

How it that really so hard to explain, commie?

both sides agreed

They did not personally ask each citizen of the nation to agree. They didn't even ask the majority of the 'elected' 'officials' to agree. They captured the 5 to 10 people that they know are in charge of such decisions.
Did your country ask you or was there a referendum of any kind when they started doing gender reassignment surgeries and surgeons started being able to cut off sleeves of skin of biological women to akke fake penises? Or chop off men's dicks and create permanent gaping wounds in their groin? Or circumcision of newborns?

Endless wars and rapefugees are not positive things.

yep, valve and its obscure free to play game is responsible for the current state of the world, not polticians!

You think European countries don't have similar situations? White genocide isn't localized to one or two countries.

I don't get what the article is about but fuck microtransactions, lootboxes, battle passes, live-service games and subscriptions, etc.
Greece was set up. The (((insitutions))) misrepresented Greece's economy and risk levels, causing interest rates to soar, which caused the crisis (((they))) had 'predicted' to materialize
(((they))) basically caused Greece's economy to shit the bed and then blamed Greece for it.

Tell that to your politicians and NATO.
One side has a strict non-interference policy. The other interferes and is actively creating wars in countries that were previously peaceful.

He's talking about the digital economy, without Gabe the conventional wisdom of digital needing to be inherently cheaper due to lower costs would still exist.

Don't pretend like it was one-sided. Greeks government asked these IMF kikes to forge the books, they did it happily and gave them loans they knew they weren't good for, EU puppets passed it despite knowing it was bullshit and everyone but a few banksters got fucked over due to it.

what did more damage to gaming
tf2 crates or elder scrolls horse armor

That's the whole point, it should be able to. Imagine israel getting russia tier economic sanctions, wouldn't that be fun.

Valve makes a digital marketplace with a great degree of functionality

Kikes see this, rub their hands together, and envision the same thing with a significantly higher cost associated on every single level of development, less sales, lower amounts of content, and inferior functionality

CURSE YOU VALVE!!!

I'm earnestly of the belief that Valve is the final stable rock we have in gaming, and as soon as we lose it, the shameless retards in C-suites and executive boards will ruin the industry within less than a year's time.

1650153214480.jpg - 853x820, 179.85K

Daily reminder that if any other company on earth had the market power and recognition that Valve does over PC sales and PC gaming in general, we would likely have none of the features we can currently access on Steam but also the predatory practices of said companies would be 1000000000x worse than anything Valve has ever done to it's customers.
Gabe is literally the devil we know and quite literally the best case scenario.

Wasn't Greece corrupt as fuck, which led to those economy problems to begin with?

well yeah valve killed physical pc games and game ownership

Russia IS a European country, to suggest Europe shouldn’t be “beholden” to it is itself NATO propaganda. I’m not saying Russia’s motives are all pure, but the destruction of NORDSTREAM was an effort to prevent Germany and Russia from cooperating with each other, and to keep Germany under US control.

Greece was being extorted

Libshits say the darndest things.

Crates. Add-on DLC was an inevitability.

Why do brown people seethe about valve every day on this board?

He fell for the jew propaganda

Valve's improvements to Steam have been forced by the EU.

yeah of course valve did

steam lets you filter LGBT and other tags so you dont have to see their woke slop games recomended to you anyway

The people saying this aren't libs though, they are chuds who hate banking and loans because of DA JOOS.

He's right and he was the one who invented it.

Well at least I can somehow benefit from my tax dollars, bless the EU consumer protection laws

Russia IS a European country

Cope. You're asian and always will be which is why you cry about "russophobia" in the first place

Imagine israel getting russia tier economic sanctions

Most naive statement I've ever seen. Do you even know who's in charge of international banking, finance, and usury in the western world? They are not impartial players vested in the well-being of its constituent countries. They have an agenda, and Israel being a bastion of western power and force projection in the middle east/west asia is one of them.
The very people we're talking about are the ones currently causing instability there.

Historically yes, but we are way, way past the times where either side would agree on that, and current shitshow doesn't help it at all too.

I know that it will never ever happen in current world state, it was a wishful thinking of what could have been if UN could apply pressure independently of vested interests.

Greece failed because greeks are lazy corrupt bums who don't pay their own taxes. The EU saved their ass, they'd be venezuela tier without it or better yet: northern turkey.

unintentionally

They knew what they were doing.
Valve were faced with the options of dying or ruining all videogames forever, and they chose the latter.

If Apple were game developers they'd ask for $700 a game, not $70. And the worst thing is that the sheeple would buy them.
CAPTCHA: 00SJW

iTunes is cheaper than CDs while Steam is the same price as physical copies.

All the companies declare PC gaming "dead" and that it's full of pirates that don't buy videogames, then proceed to simp over consoles

Gaben meanwhile actually sticks with PC's and supports them as a gaming platform with a dedicated storefront

because all the competition fucked off, Steam grows to become very successful and a #1 source for games

all the other companies start realizing their mistake

they start trying to "compete" with Valve by making their own shitty launchers and trying to pull away customers from steam by forcing them to use their launchers and doing exclusivity bullshit

these same people also cry how "GABE KILLED GAMING" and pay for articles throwing shit at him

Anon Babble gobbles it up

lel
Don't forget the same people also wanted to rape gaming with malware-tier DRM's and copy protection, then Gabe showed them that a one-time login is enough.

fifa was already doing gacha MTX shit before TF2, and still is, and is WAY fucking worse than any other game out there even korean mmo slop

Lol yeah
Debt haver master race

how ironic, you bitch and moan about jews simply because they dont allow you to steal money

they still let them have their discount it just wasn't promoted on the front page

how is this a bad thing?
I hate valve for a fuckton of things but there is nothing wrong with this

you got a loan, not a welfare check dumbass, learn the difference, this isnt a charity

you do understand there are tons of countires with very little debt to right?

also you are beyond delusional if you think someone would finance a coup inside the EU, lol, lmao

north korea must be doing well then, lol

saw an interview with him recently and couldn't believe how based that guy was.

IDK seems kinda dumb to run a huge discount on another storefront when Valve is going to put your game on the front page because you're salty about the cut they're taking

fucking lol

cow are full of gas, so they put those hole in some of them to more easily release the gas

THE JOOS ARE THE REASON I TOOK OUT ALL THOSE LOANS!!

NO I WON'T REPAY THEM, LOANS ARE USURY, I ONLY WANT FREE STUFF!!

>Gaben meanwhile actually sticks with PC's and supports them as a gaming platform

fuck you, revisionist steamdrone. no one, and I mean not a single soul liked steam. games with no-steam clients went untouched.

Link it

I don't remember the name of it but basically it's a procedure to provide easy access to a cow's stomach because they use chewed cud from the stomach's of healthy cows to help treat sick cows, and it's also used to monitor how different feeds are digested in order to improve them

The slaves don't get to dictate terms to their masters.

NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T OFFER A LOWER PRICE ON YOUR OWN WEBSITE, GIVE US OUR 30% CUT!

see, this is why everyone hates steam and (((digital storefronts))) in general

censoring names

kill yourself

It is corrupt and avoiding income tax is rife but the reason their economy sucking so hard was a problem for anyone outside of Greece was due to everyone involved circumventing the actual EU rules for entry for god knows what reason.
Otherwise they would just have had to deflate their currency and get fucked over that way, which might have been milder or worse who knows.

it started with horse armor baldy

captcha 0DTKYS

company is the reason for everything bad

says man who got fired from company

Truly the best source

They invented battlepasses and sold gambling to children

it started with horse armor

that's when it went mainstream. it was 'cash shops' in korean MMOs that started it.

I knew a carpenter board who did all his work in cash and bragged about not paying tax. I reported him to the tax office.

communist retard has an opinion

Discarded.

cosmetic DLC is nowhere near as bad as pay to open lootboxes with aftermarket real world money auction house attached to it or battlepasses. horse armor wasn't even close to the first cosmetic DLC either.

Not to give microsoft any credit, they were researching MTX plenty and I'm sure they would have loved to have gotten away with CSGO lootboxes and battle passes before anyone else did.

valve removes battlepasses

every other company on earth shoves more and more battlepasses in, some even locking actual game content and modes behind it

"REEEEEEEEE HOW DARE VALVE DO THIS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH GOVERNMENT MAKE PEOPLE BUY FROM EPIC INSTEAD!!!!!"

>providing healthcare and pensions to your people is retarded

Yes it is when you have to borrow the money from other people to pay for those things.

>censoring names

you could at least say GoG, which doesn't have jewish DRM that requires you to log-in to play

Its from a court document.

And so what was the outcome?

I wonder if you realize that you are actually not addressing the core of that sentence, or if you think this is actually a good faith response.

nothing is better than watching uplay and origin collapse and those companies having come crawling back

bald suit wearing faggot says some doomsday shit

yes valve is good

changes their legal bullshit so they can't just rape you forever in arbitration if you have a case against them

it was just a matter of time either way

Can you give evidence that horse armor was the first anything?

He looks like the Pepe on the Based Department memes.

>valve removes battlepasses

They just updated CS2 so you can grind 5 battle passes at a time lmao

1h

Okay I'll save that for later, first 1:30 was promising, thanks.

are you stupid or something, can you give an evidence of the opposite

holy shit he's so based I can't believe anyone in this thread doesn't get it

be valve

make good game

want game to be played by many people

make it free

make a primarily cosmetic monetisation system that mimics well established trading card mechanics to pay for servers while keeping sense of community even on the internet

extra weapons are introduced later but they are common drops and stock weapons are all viable

everyone else looks and says "hey, if they can do that, we can sell games, then within games sell lootboxes of non-transferrable items that explicitly make you win better"

restraint. nobody has fucking restraint.

He gets more based with every post

n-n-n-n-n-nooooo you have to let me use your store and your systems and sell steamkeys and you have to advertise my game on the front page but I need to be able to charge $200 on your store and $40 on my website!!!!

who is being scammed?

YOU HAVE T LET ME SCAM YOUR CUSTOMERS HOW DARE YOU

that's not a source

Actually it is

debnts?

Unironically I wish we could know what companies and entities are involved in this kike chicanery. Striking these names from the record benefits only them, and whatever malicious intent that comes from the company involved is permitted to negatively impact potential costumers by the court.

why are you typing

Ps5 doesn't even come with a physical disc reader anymore

Consoles have those too

Not gaming related

Now tell me how much does a year of of ps plus cost?

In that case it was the investors that were being scammed out of their money because Ford made up an excuse to not pay them their legally owed cash because he didn't want to fund his future competition.

You brought up the example, not me.

every person on earth agrees that bethesda's horse armor was the start of the microtransaction bullshit

epic poojeets are so mindbroken they keep trying to pretend it never existed and it was actually valve

they then go on to defend fortnites predatory battlepasses and FOMO to scam children

reminder that for all their asspain about steam being a monopoly, wolfires games were one of the founders of humble bundle which went on to become its own successful digital store front alongside steam.
And also reminder that when humble bundle became successful, they sold it to a corpo that would go on to gut and kill it.

these emails magically appear now

the dirtbag's names are all hidden

you now remember the valve employee that was tried to force DEI shit and then quit and threw a tantrum because valve kept shooting all their shit down

TF2 had P2W microtransactions in the form of item sets for years.

Seetch and cope leftist, Valve will remain as long as Gaben remain.

ackshually

Shut the fuck up kike.

>every person on earth agrees that bethesda's horse armor was the start of the microtransaction bullshit

And yet all those people are wrong. It wasn't even Bethesdas first microtransaction for an elder scrolls game.

Evil requires intent. Calling them idiotic would be more apt.

just defends epic's child predator actions

Wowow, easy now, boyo.. i have actually read his book, and what happened, was basically that the eu pooled all their debt together and gave it to the greek people and acted like that was somehow the right thing to do.

You're defending the kike here, bro.

is this the part where you dishonest retards try to claim expansion packs are the same as nickel and diming people with cosmetics?

I'm sorry you're offended by being fact checked but I'm not going to stop doing it.

greek conman writes in his book trying to shift the blame onto everyone but the greeks

wow what a shocker

I may be killed or replaced

That's why you need the right to bare arms first and foremost.

It really needs to be understood that among all of Steam's failures and any potential problems that come from their stranglehold on the PC market, nearly every single alternative shows that they are worse in every way. GoG Launcher is the singular only other option that is tolerable at this point. Outside of these two, you will find far less and far worse sales, far worse service, far shittier interfaces, and overall significantly less titles on the platform to contend with. Every publisher store is dogshit, so any desire I have to see a Steam competitor at this point is diminished by merit of every single attempt at competition only being a horrible failure by comparison.

sorry the real world doesn't adhere to your cope rahj

Steam PC bald brand fanboys are obnoxious just like this guy.

Funny you talk about "the real world" but you have to make up a boogeyman for anyone you don't agree with.

tf2 goes f2p

fans complain this will kill the game with botters and new players that just care about hats

faggots make fun of the above fans, acting like they want to gatekeep the game

look whos laughing now

If Valve didn't do it then another company would've. How is the idea of digitalized assets in a video game that far out there?

boogieman implies epicpoojeets don't exist
and the daily "seethe about valve being the best store" threads rove they're very real

nobody gave a shit about hats in tf2 originally. Even some of the most expensive hats were like a couple hundred dollars max early on. Once third worlders and people trying to launder money caught on, that's when it exploded. There's a reason Valve has put so many new restrictions on trading and selling on the market over the years.

Its funny watching other companies cry about how "evil" valve is for hats and skins, when valve is the only one that lets you just buy any hat or skin you want at any time
there is no FOMO "BUY IT NOW OR IT WILL LEAVE THE SHOP" scams, and lootboxes are entirely optional thanks to the marketplace

it aint wrong
everything wrong with modern gaming up to and including always online DRM and digital only faggotry started with valve

lol not true retard. have you not realized that there are limited crates and cases that are either taken out of rotation or have their drop chances lowered to virtually nothing? there's a reason some cases are much more money than others in CSGO on the market. The FOMO shit isn't the problem unless you're an OCD retard that wants to give all your money to a company so you can see a page full of skins.

there is no FOMO "BUY IT NOW OR IT WILL LEAVE THE SHOP" scams

Nigga CS:GO did that shit with stickers all the time

But you can still buy them for hundreds of dollars from Russian hoarders

valve dickrider tries to say everyone is overlooking the shitty practices of other companies while conveniently overlooking that valve does the same thing

$0.15 has been deposited to your account

Should you blame the product or the retarded, short-sighted people who choose to buy it?

you can buy any hat you want for only a few thousand dollars or paying to spin a roulette wheel

Everyone at valve should be publicly crucified for having a RMAH.

RMAH

that was blizzard

Former economist in residence

Valve's system is still user aligned

Publically traded companies ran with the ideas of Valve and ran them into the ground in the name of Line Goes Up

Almost like he has a chip on his shoulder.

Is it just me or are chuds turning more into commies with every passing day?

destroy PC gaming

introduce loot boxes

introduce casinos

introduce casinos for children

>changes their legal bullshit so they can't just rape you forever in arbitration

they didn't drop the arbitration clause out of the goodness of their hearts. it was costing them literal millions. ask samsung, the gook kikes refused to pay the arbitration association
in exchange for being allowed to force arbitration clauses down everyone's throats and make it impossible to file class-action suits, corpos offered to cover arbitration fees. legal firms found a way to exploit this by gathering complaints to file claims individually and get a big payoff every time an arbitrator ruled in their favor for nearly no cost (remember, corpos promised to cover arbitration fees)
you steamdrones are scum

if you agree with one aspect of an ideology you must be 100% for it

if you're part of this group of people you must have this exact specific set of beliefs

oh noes, corpos wanted to fuck over people, but people fucked over criminal corpos

Fuck Valve

valve is pretending to be consumer friendly to scam people?

all storefronts are.
you shouldn't have to log in to play your games

huh?

Everyone with a functional brain knows that EVE Online is to blame

Delusional retard, YOU can't refuse to join the EU, the EU constitution was turned down twice in referendum and they still passed it through, they don't give a fuck. The average citizen has no say in politics at the national level, let alone whatever pedophilic kikery happens in Brussels.

all storefronts are

factually incorrect.
Epic has the same garbage Google spyware, but at least there is an open source one, they also give you games every week for free
and GOG has direct downloads, without any strings attached

just use offline mode

>destroy pc gaming

pc gaming is more popular than ever with more players on steam year after year

Keep coping. Nvidia has done more damage to pc gaming than Valve ever could.

more popular

games sell like shit on PC

Look at Uncharted, that sold like 41 million on Playstation and sold a laughable 1 or 2 millions on Shit-PC lmao (because everyone steals it lmao)

I cannot think of a more cucked individual than the modern monarchist

weird how no one cares that games are the same price at walmart and gamestop and bestbuy

similar pricing is not the problem though? the problem would be sony or nintendo calling a dev and telling them their game gets kicked off their stores if they dare put up a small stand in front of the studio selling the game for cheaper.

And historical monarchs took being deposed extremely well right?

no, Nintendo nor Microsoft nor Snoy do base price fixing, only Valve does that, they are abusing their monopoly, and will pay the price

games sell like shit on pc

Is that why Baldgay 3's success metric was the sheer amount of people who bought it through Steam?

uncharted

It was also a decade old port for a movie game, retard. Helldivers 2 sold more on PC than Playstation. See? I can cherrypick examples too.

What's based about Valve? Steam as a store I don't like it since it has some DRM, forced online shit.
Last game of theirs that I cared for was Portal 2. And even then.

digital economic hellscape

predates Valve
Hell, even if you go down the fucked DRM path, consider that a certain giant megacorp were already funding what would turn into Denuvo years before Steam would release.
You cannot blame one man or company for a series of economic practices that plague everything.

non-transferable

I doubt this will be the case once someone bothers to fight it in court. Your steam account is a digital asset that can be valued just like any other property you own, no reason why it can't be transferred via a will.

Ewwww, I wouldn't install Unsharted on my beautiful innocent PC even if it was gifted to me, gross snoy diarrhea

cherrypick

The average indie makes like 4000 USD on Steam lmao, PC gaming is fucked
Snoy doesn't use Denuvo

Helldivers 2

Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: nProtect GameGuard

lol

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP IT THATS NOT WHAT THE NARRATIVE SAYS!!!!! YOU HAVE TO BLAME VALVE FOR COMPUTERS LACKING DISC DRIVES!!!!!!!

digital asset

talk about an oxymoron. hahahahaha.

can be valued

there's no value in the account. the real value is in the games, software, soundtracks, etc. which don't need it to function.
the account is a just DRM hurdle.

yeah fight the evil corporation in court

why give them money to fund the scam lawyer that will go against YOU in court?
instead you should leave Steam and use better stores that are not anti-customer

for example GOG literally tells users that they just need confirmation that you are actually dead, they will happily transfer your account lol

The average indie makes like 4000 USD on Steam

No shit retard. Anybody can put their indie on Steam, barely any of them have a good marketing strategy and get drowned out by the endless competition. For every Lethal Company there are 1000 Sex With Hitlers. This isn't an issue with Steam, this is just how the math works in an unrestricted market.

Snoy doesn't use Denuvo

Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: nProtect GameGuard

Goal post: Moved.

Valve has the highest selling fee of all major PC stores except GOG but GOG justifies their fee by having a team of engineers on hand that will patch your game to run on modern systems. Valve literally only justifies their fee by the fact that they control 90% of the PC gaming market. If you don't accept the fee you are losing 90% of your potential sales. Unironically classic monopoly tactics - and they are being sued for it too.

Itch - 0% (choose your own fee)

Microsoft store and EGS 12%

Humble store 25% with 10% of that going to charity

Steam and GOG 30%

So when valve forces developers to have the same price on steam as other stores they are actually making games at minimum 5% more expensive for the consumer.

They already let people have family access but inheritance is a step too far? I call bullshit. Now it's back to courts and not arbitration processes, I don't see this lasting once someone's willing to fight it in the relevant states. It's just a ToS after all. And just because the games aren't yours, doesn't mean the account doesn't have a value, because it does.

But uhh you did that not them. This guy is the guy who did that.

GOG justifies their fee

No they don't because GOG's library pales in comparison to Steam's. We would all use GOG if it didn't have less games than a console.

Bail out the banks

marketing strategy

Steamies say that Steam would do that for the dev, so the dev has to do that too?

this isn't an issue

Nintendo created Nintendo Indie directs for indie devs, lmao
meanwhile Valve does fuck all, but still scams indies (and only these) for 30%.

False, GOG doesn't take 30%.
their rate is fluid and depends on how much work YOU are doing and how much work you want THEM to do. When you are lazy as fuck, they take more from you, but that's your choice.

You can't literally blame everything on the left, anon. you list come off like a brain dead cult when you do. the simple fact of the matter is everyone likes Steam regardless of their politics unless they're envious

Nintendo created Nintendo Indie directs

Maybe they were right about an economic hellscape. Who the fuck is getting paid for this shit, what a waste of server fees, imagine that even games journalists are getting paid to cover it. A hellscape indeed.

This line is either spouted by the 'screams nigger' crowd or their idiots that don't know Steam is on record since 2013 that there are contingency plans in place so you get to keep your games if Steam ever goes tits up.

professionally made commercials are shit

lol
meanwhile Valve does fuck all.

game is still alive a decade later

Those people sure were right about the game dying.

Not just saying in your will that someone gets a book in a safety deposit box that has all your login info.

contingency plan

where in the Steam agreement (contract) is this "plan" mentioned?

Gaben pinky promised he'd let you download the games if steam died

He thinks the steam agreement is all that's in place

Steam has detected that your age is 120 years

Steam security(tm) doesn't think that you are the legitimate user of this account

please provide federal ID within 14 days, otherwise we will close this outdated account

(see Steam agreement contract)

lol
he also promised Half-Life 3 and no-paid-mods, and not fucking over users
where in the Steam agreement (contract) is this "plan" mentioned?

What is real hardship?

it's the only valid contract you have with the criminal Valve corporation and it's the only thing that you can sue them for lol
so where is this "plan" mentioned?

Steamies say that Steam would do that for the dev

Show me a single case of a person saying a game being on Steam guarantees it's success. The only thing it guarantees is more sales than the "competition." Yes, having your game on the larger platform does mean it'll have more potential customers.

Nintendo created Nintendo Indie directs for indie devs, lmao

Yeah to pad their showcases because the shitch has no games. Both of their big 1st party releases this year were disappointments and they lost their only chance at a second goty to a gay bear sex weg.

meanwhile Valve does fuck all, but still scams indies (and only these) for 30%.

Wrong. Indies like PirateSoftware have gone on record saying they give you a shitload of tools to use and the 30% gets paid back to you once your game is successful. You don't know shit console brainlet.

guaranteed success

4000 USD is a 100% failure

more sales than the competition

devs make more on Nintendo lol

shitch has no games

you are mentally ill, the Shitch has tons of exclusives and a trillion indie games, and tons of indie games on physical "own it" media, unlike what they are on shit-PC
thanks for beta testing btw, you fucking simp

Women will say and do anything to avoid responsibility.

successful

sells a few million
vs
4000 USD lol

you understand that 100% failure and sells a few million is miles apart

fuck over indies

but but that's just fair, because you see bandwidth is more expensive when your game is small and only sells a few thousand copies

lol, Steamies are so retarded

Being black according to liberals.

CorpoJuden eternal bumgaped they no longer control all forms of earthly currency

sucks to suck

4000 USD

That is a meaningless number.

it's what the AVERAGE Steamie dev makes lmao

And now just imagine if Steam only ripped off big corporations, who can afford it.
That would mean that the AVERAGE Steam dev would make 50% more, 6000 USD

And if one out of 8 or 9 PC thieves would pay for their game they would make 12000 USD.

They made linux gaming viable by killing native linux ports and emulating windows instead

havent you heard of the liberal democrat?

just use troonhacks

why not make the shitty emulator less shitty?

isn't this kind of like thanking nestle for allowing you to buy water?

gaming on Linux is when you emulate wangblows

6k

12k

As if these are meaningfully better numbers than 4k if 4k is "nothing" kek. Still no source on any of this btw.

Shitch has tons of exclusives

No it doesn't kek and none of the ones it has are worth a damn. Not a single goty since botw and out of all the gotys that have released since it can only play 1 (ONE) of them.

trillions of indies

It has less than a third the TOTAL library size of the Steam Deck, and that's mostly considering indies and old games.

thanks for beta testing btw, you fucking simp

You don't even know what a simp is you knuckledragging retard.

>physical "own it" media

it's like Nestle taking water, not knowing if it's poisonous, YOU pay them, YOU test the water and Nestle sells it to more retards

It takes 30% only from the first $10 million in sales. For all sales between $10 million and $50 million, the split goes to 25%. For every sale after the initial $50 million, Steam takes just a 20% cut.

12k is 3 times the current average, you dumb retard

But 12k is nothing if 4k is meaningless. That's less than 6 month studio rent. Still no source for them selling millions on other platforms. Apparently games sell so shit on other platforms that they keep coming to Steam KEEEEEEEEEEK.

epic killed pc gaming, valve saved it, zoomer. i don't care about your slavic turd world shit hole that got fallout it in 2008 either

12k is way more than 4k, and it's only 4k because of a) Valve and b) other thieves

12k is way more than 4k

Keep deflecting retard. Goalpost: Moved.

Damn, Valve should charge them server fees instead for storage, downloads, uploads & patching. Including additional subscription fees to have community content such as discussion boards available.
I wonder which would work out the better deal.

windows

not shit

pick one and only one

over 200 games

Steamis is too retarded to select the fucking platform
hahaha, you are mind broken

Switch - 2300 games on that website
download required - 35 results found

hahahaha, FUCK YOU LIAR

patching

So Valve is patching and fixing games now? lol

This retarded nigger you're replying to (probably Snoyvy) is just a trojan horse. They know if Steam reduced their cut then we'd have to pay for subscription cancer like their cuck kind does.

NTA, but my ghetto work laptop running 11 doesn't even do that. literally a skill issue.

They still host them unless the developers offers a standalone client for patching.
That requires storage and bandwith continuously while the game remains on sale and thereafter too unless the license is removed from user libraries.

So Valve is patching and fixing games now? lol

Quite literally yes. They updated proton just to make Elden Ring run better.

Amazon charges 15% to sell shit and that gives you access to the most sophisticated distribution network the world has ever seen. Anyone thinking valve isn't raking in mad profit from the 30% fee is insane or in denial.

wow massive bandwidth

but for a 100 GB Ubisoft game, the bandwidth somehow gets way cheaper by magic

steam's catalog growing forever is unsustainable, just like fitting every single pokemon from previous generations each time a new one releases.
mark my words: they WILL start charging devs subscriptions sooner or later.

no, they aren't.
they are breaking games, see protondb lol
fucking pajeets
imagine you have a game which works properly on Windows, and then Valve larps as Windows and you get refunds because it doesn't work in their shitty emulator

Yes, Ubisoft are indeed a villainous & contemptuous lot.

Valve admits that they are fine with 20%, because that's what the big boys pay these fuckers

proton

emulation

yet another tech-illiterate winbabby. you're not worth my time

We were talking about physical games in general not just the Switch you brown retard. Earlier you were saying PS5 didn't have DRM.

so you say it's great that Valve supports and rewards Ubisoft, while ripping regular indies off?

Amazon good

grim land ahead mateys

Kill the king. Base
Only serf love kings.

you pretend to be Windows, while you are a ShitOS, that makes you an emulator lmao

but but translation

yes, that's what an emulator does, you fucking ESL

steam's catalog growing forever is unsustainable, just like fitting every single pokemon from previous generations each time a new one releases.

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK

>they are breaking games, see protondb lol

More games become playable with every new version than ones that aren't

Pretty much this. As long as they keep funneling this money into Linux, I couldn't care less. That said, they weren't the first to implement loot boxes and micro transactions in vidya and they weren't really even the first to popularize it in the west. Though they did become the first to allow the resale as far as I know.

I too also allow walmart to stock my goods while i stand outside selling them 20% cheaper than they do so that walmart can advertise for me.

but but DRM

why are you deflecting when you were caught in a lie?
Switch has only a few games that require a download, or even have a download.

Most indies won't throw out the physical release immediately, but wait some time, and then print the final release onto physical cart, AS IT SHOULD BE

meanwhile Gabe makes sure that you will never own anything and remain a cuck

Yeah sure, you wanna argue about something I don't give a fuck about so if that floats your boat go for it.
Valve could setup shop offering to club an indie devs skull on stream once a month to remove their garbage from the store and y'know what, if it stops their garbage showing up I'm good with that too, one less mouthbreather kickin' around.

This is why you don't build strawmen, because if the other party doesn't care and isn't trying to win an argument, they'll burn it down and call you a retard. Stop being a fucking retard.

nothing is ever broken

buy subscription for game

game stops working because you were retarded and got a Steam Dreck

refund gaem because pajeets

Walmart charges 6% to 15% now too. 30% is an antiquated holdover. I don't think consoles are justified in it either. I like steam but its bullshit.

I don't give a fuck about corpos supporting another and Valve fucking over indie developers (actual game developers)

lol
have fun with early access and testing games for me

I mean, yeah, the AI and data centre situation is grim but that's life in the modern age. Why is some garbage social media post and pictures of someones stag do from 2007 sitting on a server somewhere taking space, drawing power.
They're divorced now and hate each other.

He tried paying debt, it was the IMF that didn't want to. I'll never forget his quote about presenting them his budgets "it was like talking to a bank that didn't want to be paid back". Because at the end of the day, austerity isn't particularly effective at balancing a budget, the point of it is to privatize everything to foreign corporations.

strawman

Like I said, yes.
Stop being a fucking retard, lest you find your indie skull the first set for a clubbin'

oh noes, too many bits are very expensive especially when it's small indie games bits

but big corporation bits are super easy to transfer and transmit, and therefore corpos pay way less and it totally makes sense

because you see Valve is doing what a distrbutor is doing

testing games

localizing games

therefore it makes sense that they take less from big bois that sell a ton

you are a cuck
a no-ownership cuck
that's a fact, you are not a man, you are a wimp

this guy is just trying to sell his book

nu-lara turd game

thinks steam deck has a subscription

Yeah and you're not the Pajeet here. Sure anon.

why are you deflecting when you were caught in a lie?

I was only ever referring to physical games as a whole. I even showed you an example of how DRM was being brought up by (You) before the Shitch was brought up. I said that plenty of physical games require a patch and I was right, over 200 games by your own source.

but wait some time, and then print the final release onto physical cart

Wait like a cuck then by some overpriced trash that you can lose, have stolen or get destroyed in a natural disaster. AS IT SHOULD BE! Unlike a Steam library which doesn't lose any games after 15 years.

Alright, that keeps you happy then go for it.
Sorry I'm not crying about the indie devs like you are. If you wanted me to campaign alongside you about the "brutal" practice then you should have constructed two soapboxes so that we may virtue signal together over the issue.
If you are an indie dev who cares: I also do not care if you pay more. I know that you will likely pay a higher ratio of tax in your lifetime than others. That's the way of the world.
You want to complain? The fuck am I going to do about it for you? I'm not going diving and infiltrating GabeN's yacht to club his head alongside some seals so that you may pay less tax. That's a nomfup.

Campaign about it on other avenues but stop thinking everyone and anyone is going to rally to cause. I am not your personal army.

Real men don't care about how much they "own" their toys, brown faggot. 99.9% of games are disposable media you'll play once and never have the desire to touch again. I would happily rent a game for pennies to the point of completing it.

I'm noticing that last user is on Nvidia and the others are on AMD, is there another page I missed? I don't particularly care about that game.
I'm also aware that Nvidia still can't into free drivers.

hey your windows emulator seems to be pure smeared donkey shit

Heh, about time someone had the balls to insult Valve. Fuckers need to be knocked down a few pegs.

The fact that it's a 30 year old shitty port is exactly why they haven't gotten around to fixing its performance retard. The recent Doom 1 and 2 patch is a counterpoint to this. Works flawlessly on proton now after not running well because, surprise, the original ports are old as shit with a funky engine.

Yeah, I mean the existence of both can be true there bud.
You don't need to have a complete mental breakdown to acknowledge it.

>"real" modern men don't want to own anything

Real men care about owning cars, homes, firearms, things with actual value. They aren't going to cry about losing a VHS tape over renting a movie and much less a video game.

port

it's not a port, it's your shitty donkey shit Windows emulator lol

old software just runs like garbage on my shitty emulator

but that's because the software's bits are old, it's not because my emulator is garbage

So we got from "this doesn't count" to "this software is too old" lol

your windows emulator is garbage and written by retarded pajeets
Fuck Valve

Imagine paying for this crap lol

it's not a port, it's your shitty donkey shit Windows emulator lol

your modern cinematic "games" are broken too, zoomer

Its just so ironic that valve is so gung ho on getting linux to work because microsoft threatened them with a 30% fee meanwhile they do everything they can to destroy competition to steam which charges everyone else a 30% fee.
Imagine if microsoft charged 30% on windows programs then made it so programs sold on linux had to be the same price as those sold on windows regardless of the fee.

No we went from
More and more games work over time (true) To "That's only a single shitty game" (true) To "It's an engine issue for old games and I'll prove it by showing two games which were neglected and recently fixed" (True) I've given you two fixed games for two games you brought up with issues. It's an objective fact that Proton gets better over time and the overwhelming majority of games work with it.

That's Shantae you braindead retard kek. A literal zoomer coom game.

games are never broken

oops, well that doesn't count

oops, well that doesn't matter

It doesn’t matter when DRM is more important than your dumb linux compatibility nonsense. Corporate America will not let you avoid DRM.

it has no value

oh it does

hurr why would you buy this trash

this "trash" is more valuable than your cuck guns
but keep on coping, cuck-boy

Calls me a cuck when his wife lusts after bwc

Kek

allow walmart to stock my goods

walmart doesn't sell valve's games though
better luck next time

Guns have an actual use. Your physical trash is just for you to scalp because you have no stable income. A PS5 is more valuable than that game.

I love when people bring up how valve "killed native linux ports" when A) No developer bothered with it or B) Did a shit job/used the default porting option in their engine.
I'd much rather use proton than trust modern developers who can't even target windows properly these days.

women love subscribers and Netflixxers

lol

amass €300bn debt - go bankrupt

amass $35 TRILLION debt - just print more money bro

funny how this works

killing people is muh job

psycho detected

Quite literally. If english wasn't your 4th language you'd know that "Netflix and chill" has meant fucking for years. You're seen as weird if you try and play dvds or use a Plex server. Common physikek autist L.

What does Varoufakis have to do with Valve?

Besides, even by his own work, Valve is more akin to an independent Republic rather than a technofeudal enclave just based purely on their employment structure

you are a no-ownership loser
cope
imagine paying so that Gabe can afford physical yachts lmao

Plenty of you whine about TF2 hats, but does anyone else remember those TF2 hats made [users] a shitload of money to the point they broke paypal?

"Actually money is how the community steers work."

Also, remember that the [community] hated the paid mods (which Bethesda tried to push through Steam), and the entire thing was scrapped - only for bethesda to do it themselves.

employment structure

it's way better that anyone can fuck you over even when you do a very good job

and it's also great when you want to work on a single player game, but get called off because it won't make trillions like that scam casino

actually paid mods are great

pajeet thread

Greek

lmao those people don't know shit about finance and economy.

Okay Timmy.

Who?

yes bethesda said that and yet no one shits on bethesda for having them in every game now

Valve really scrapped paid mods because it required more moderation than they were willing to give and there was a bunch of scandals involving stolen content.

grifter probably got paid to to shit talk valve
remember no other PC store can realistically compete with valve's quality and amount of good will they have with customers so they need to run to courts to try handicap valve down to their level

yes

lol
Steamies in a nutshell
100% cucked

rahjeesh can't read

still defends bethesda going ahead with paid mods

no one shits on bethesda for having them in every game now

first day here? stupid faggot
the absolute state of bethesdrone jeets

I .... I didn't write yes

you did, cuck

defends bethesda by laughing aout a Steam cuck, who says that paid mods are great

calls others ESL

lmao

very day has multiple threads crying and seething that valve is better

always bring up paid mods

ignore that valve shot that shit down at the slightest sign of push back

hasn't tried them again for years

meanwhile

every bethesda game has paid mods

complete silence

Fuck China

everyone is the same user on here

mental illness

you you can't say anything about Valve's crimina business models, otherwise you must be the same user

mental illness

you see Valve stopped doing that when even the retarded Steam cattle went against it

it actually was just 2 users!!!

mental illness

It is pretty stupid how Anon Babble sucks Valve's dick so hard.

criminal

STOP IT YOU HAVE TO LET ME SCAM THE CUSTOMERS HOW DARE YOU VALVE

I would tell you to put a gun in your mouth, but that would be an improvement over the cowshit you eat

s-s-s-s-s-stop praising the one company that doesn't actively hate you and isn't trying to screw you over at every turn

go back to the fortnite store pedo

Loot boxes are Le Bad

Magic and Pokemon packs are good tho

Mind boggling on how people can shit on lootboxes while defend cardboard crack.

its not just you

checking twatter

bunch of chuds mad as hell that an indian gas pump owner was charging 10 bucks per gallon

"IMMIGRANT AHHHH HELP ME TRUMPMAN!!"

even tough by charging 10 bucks less people can hoard gas and more people get atleast SOME gas, simple supply and demand

these same retards were screeching "COMMIE!!!" when kablama supposedly proposed price controls like a month ago

sometimes i feel the more political extremist you are, the less you know about politics, like football fans that get in fight to defend their team but cant kick a damn ball, this applies to libshits and chuds, ive seen some pro-palestinians people call israel nazis, while going on borderline hitlerian rants about israel

Your anger at me insulting your precious fat fuck Gabe and his army of lazy hacks is soothing.

BASED Taiwanese

No one said anything about GOG though?

tripfag

has the most retarded take and loves getting fucked in the ass

too many cases

as i grew older and changed my outlook on life, ive begun to agree more with Gaben

maybe he didnt express himself correctly, but money does express firmly and in unambiguous terms what the community whats to see more of, one thing is to upvote a project or some shit like that, but when you pay for it, you are giving someone the fruit of your labor, you only do that if you REALLY trust the project or you value the person/entity you are giving your cash to

The average indie makes like 4000 USD on Steam lmao

honestly that's actually pretty good considering there are a thousand asset flips released each day, which sell 4 copies at best, bringing down the average

There are no good big company.

014188991.jpg - 720x722, 33.01K

Some examples:
Living through a depression or economic collapse.
Living through a major war.
Living through being a truly oppressed class.
Living thorugh major revolutions.
When the protection of society collapses, and you lose loved ones over it, or have to seriously consider eating the one you love least.

Gaben sama, I kneel

Doing something without intent makes you evil now?

company that doesn't actively hate you

they just call me filthy subscriber

and deny me basic rights

lol

they don't hate me, because they take my monies

lol

they just destroyed my hobby and made me into a cuck

Varouvakis is a commie faggot who wants europe to open all borders to every arabs and african

What the fuck are you even talking about
You are just posting bullshit because you think it sounds like you have a point

fortnite store:
- free games
- free battle passes
- no loot boxes
- no casinos
- no NFT digital trinket stores
- open source client
- new content every 14 days instead of every 10 years

sounds horrible and very customer unfriendly

no, that's actually pretty terrible
it's not 4k per month, it's 4k.

Ive been consistently hating on both.

Imagine unironically spending over 50 bucks and not even being guaranteed to have a functional deck.
For 50 bucks I'd expect to be able to build all possible decks on both sides.

deny rights

is the only store that won't rape you forever in arbitration

considering there are a thousand asset flips released each day

To the detriment of real developers.

remove some rape clause, because Valve can get raped with it

they they love us, they they did it just because they love us

mental illness

still better than epic letting NFT and crypto scam "games" onto their store

Living through a depression or economic collapse.

been there three times

Living through a major war.

done that at least thrice

Living through being a truly oppressed class.

oh, you're retarded

Living thorugh major revolutions.

because in the modern era that means niggers or commies taking over

When the protection of society collapses, and you lose loved ones over it, or have to seriously consider eating the one you love least.

yeah, sure, we need these people to give us their input on video games

poojeet seething one avenue of the court system can't be used to try handicap valve

this thing that companies use to rape customers being removed is somehow bad for customers

No retard. They are going from neocon to natsoc.
Retarded center ideas like "its ok when the immigrants are legal" are straight up dying out now.

thats still fine. 4k per month average would be ridiculous with the amount of literal dogshit on steam.

handicap valve

it doesn't matter that valve's intent was to fuck subscribers over

they are good boys

US kikes extend loans to people who should not have loans

everyone suffers

Any time a country’s economy is in the shitter, the US has played some part in it.

still better than epic letting NFT and crypto scam "games" onto their store

youtube.com/watch?v=ABsT6ulLjuk

thats still fine

lol

but would be unacceptable to poor valve, that's why their 30% indie fee is fine

lol

that's cool
i still own products i purchase

decadee old shovelware and the rockstar sharkcard platform

battlepasses

FOMO store to prey on children

uses store currency instead of real money so they can be scummy with amounts

NFT and crypto games on the front page

removes access for OSes

tries to force a monopoly by buying exclusivity deals

"content" is just another skin for the FOMO store

Delete this

valve gives up the ability to rape customers forever in arbitration bullshit

this somehow fucks over the customer

damn its the shitskin

posts jauwn

didn't expect a epiggy to dare post him considering the amount of EGS crypto scams hes covered

I'd rather Valve be too lax than too restrictive. As long as they monitor outright scams and malware, let it in. I'll filter through the garbage myself.

Why do you keep posting this trash as if it means something?
Some long haired boomer fucked up his PC and now Windows is finished? Is that what you're trying to say?

Epic: battle passes (free) BAD

Valve: battle passes (invented) GOOD

mental illness

FOMO

there is no FOMO, but let's pretend there is, then Steam is literally FOMO you fucking retard

Epic "FOMO" - LE BAD

Valve actual FOMO - good

hey rahjeesh
why should the customer care about that 30% cut?
game prices are the same no matter what, even games that aren't on steam are still full price on epic

Valve

too lax

bans games with cute girls in it (no sexo content required)

allows children to buy homosex content

streetshitter still doesn't know what FOMO is

every TF2 item is on the market
the fortnite store is a rotating set of items to get children to spend more as soon as they see something because theres no indication when it will be back

All fucking usurers must fucking hang.

Living through being a truly oppressed class

You Immediately assume I'm talking about niggers. Niggers seem to be the only thing on your brain. Maybe marry one.

Living through major revolutions

Retarded presentism response. I'm talking the like the French Revolution, the communist revolution, very fucking bloody things with guillotines and animal wagons, likely starring your friends and loved ones.

Yeah, sure, we need these people to give us their input on video games

Oh, the sweet delicious irony, when one of the major reasons the games boomers made for millenials were so good, is becasue they had actual life experiences to draw from, and not just the inbreeding of self referential ideas within a given medium.

-30%

uh where do we save 30%?

I know - game testing

game quality

let's sell it before it's even an alpha

Steamie:

yes, I love to buy unfinished alpha tester hardware and test it for my beloved Valve

sucks cock

bunch of whining from some cunt that got shitcanned

Valve is a successful company. This implies that their system works. That implies that their system is better.

wah wah steam

Counterstrike and Dota are massive.
The woman who's whining you're parroting was so useless that Valve gave her the rights to everything she worked on while she was employed.

get called off because it won't make trillions

I understand that it sometimes looks like other companies don't care about making things that will be successful, but they still do.

Valve is FOMO

but but if you rotate items, that's bad and "FOMO", except that content reappears, that means no one is missing out

schizo

Retard.

successful

parasite

Counter-shitted is massive loot box bots

massive scamso

nonanswer seething

expected from a third-worlder
why should I care about the cut the publishers get to keep if the price for ME is the same no matter what?

le Fortnite store is evil

because you can buy rare items, and keep them and even get Vbucks back

oh wow, what a scam

nonanswer

lol no one excepts ChatGPT to understand posts

still can't read

I'll make it easier for you
FOMO means Fear Of Missing Out
valve's market means you never have FOMO
epics rotating shop means things randomly leave the store and have no way of seeing when it will be back, this tries to force people into impulse buying shit

missing out because item appears later again

that's missing out, because I can buy it later

retard

randomly

they tell me exactly when they will be removed

UNLIKE VALVE, who just remove games at actual random and ban games at random and don't tell anyone, and those won't reappear

schizo

You don't give attention to attention whores, you filter them. Idiot.

have no way of seeing when it will be back

fortnite.gg/wishlist
your welcome, retard

poos seething when forced to face the truth

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand supply and demand. The fact that there isn't actually an infinite supply of things, doubly so during a natural disaster, will go over a typical viewer's head.
All you need is the government to make a rule against things running out and everything will be fine.

truth

you lied.
there is no FOMO with Fortnite
but Steam is 100% FOMO

violate no lawa

Valve just removes gaem

it's in your library

Valve forces you onto next Windows

game doesn't work anymore

no update possible because banned

thanks Valve

you can't hoard gas at 10 bucks and then sell it for 20 bucks

Steamie IQ detected

Rising the price makes it so that only people who can properly use the thing will get it. Artificially capping the price leads to worse shortages.
This is an easily observable and well documented truth, but it feels bad to retards, so "we" all have to suffer more than necessary every time something goes wrong.

hi epic poojeet

high price means no scalpers

lol
