don't forget
keeps taxing 1/3 of the PC gaming industry's revenue just for offering download links and a basic website's features
ah shit you posted "tim sweeney"
guess OP is completely wrong now
ALL HAIL GABEN AND HIS MONOPOLY
not his fault everyone refuses to use other services besides steam
works with SBI
the company is infested with Indians, the VP is Indian
donates money to democrats and are overall really woke
Anon Babble still defends them
I don't get it, doesn't matter what valve does. Anon Babble will somehow defend them no matter what.
Actually his fault.
Forced steam on everyone's throat with exclusives like half life 2, counterstrike etc.
The whole steam sales thing to trick lots of new retards into their ecosystem.
Now steam is too big to ever fail.
don't care Nintendo mogs the fuck out of gayben
If that was what brought people to and compelled them to stay then the EGS exclusives would have converted more people.
>spends monopoly money on fleet of yachts instead of giving back to industry
unlike Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo
Valve isnt afraid to tell a dev who only wants to nickle and dime to eat shit
Did you miss the part where valve was there first and by the time EGS exclusives even happened millions of retards over the world already built steam libraries with hundreds of games? Steam isn't called monopoly for nothing. They are basically like government of PC gaming at this point. That's how untouchable steam is.
Riot's launcher alone have more users than all of steam, all the top played steam games are f2p crap mostly played by chinks and bots.
Non of the most played games on PC are on steam.
People heavily overestimate how many people actually use steam.
wow Valve why did you not give up on PC gaming in the mid 2000's like Epic did? why were you building a PC storefront then?
maybe the other devs shouldnt have mass abandoned the platform
do people on Riots launcher play anything other than Valorant and League?
Why does that matter? It just shows how few people actually use steam if 2 games alone can have more users than all of steam.
Not to mention it's just gambling, I have no idea why everyone praises him so much. He's cancer.
lol valve was the only one allowing that for any period of time. That garbage (and malware) is hard banned on all of those platforms.
Valve worshipers have always been the dumbest fucks in the scene
Incidentally, Anon Babble has always been one of the lowest IQ boards on Anon Babble even before consoletards took over the place
theres no forced advertisements on console
lol
theres no malware
thats called the console OS
I see you're retarded and don't even know what Valve has banned. Figure that out and then you can reply to me.
Console fag
I see you're retarded
LMAO
He won.
daily epigjeet seething at the superior platform
Why are you making fun of Indians? If you like Valve you must love indians, because it's an indian company
seethe more you worthless indian
So do you like Valve... but hate Indians when Valve is infested with indians? The freaking VP is indian.
you retarded gypsy, the 30% is on the devs and it's an industry standard. Not having it won't make the games cheaper as epic had proved
There is no "co-CEO" of valve and only certain VPs of certain departments you utter subhuman, and yes unfortunately pajeets work at valve like they do in every western company
Yeah anon all western gaming companies have an indian as their VICE PRESIDENT and all the high ranking roles to Indians.
But feel free to prove me wrong and show all these high positioned indians at Epic, you're the one that claimed Epic was indian after all.
invents lootbox cancer
But that was maplestory, the rest is true though.
Why do Indians post on 4tran pretending that they are 4tranners who hate Indians?
Killing GFWL saved PC gaming, correct. You're too young to know about it, stop idolizing an era you didn't live through.
Valve pay indians to shill like crazy here and they know nobody likes indians
OP, i know you are currently sucking Tyronne's dick clean after he was done pumping your femboy girlfriend (male) but clearly you can't be so stupid to see all of the good Valve is doing by literally applying regulations to AAA(A) studios tryin to further enshitify the industry.
I'm sure Valve knows they're the ones who fucked things in the beginning for some things, like lootboxes, but they're doing work to prevent further degradation an actually work to fix the industry through playing hardball with the EA, Sony, Microsoft and Ubisoft and co.
It was actually this guy that invented paid mods and loot boxes
Kmmos were doing gachas before the west
Valve is the one that POPULARIZED lootboxes, yes there was some instances with lootbox stuff before. But Valve is the company resonable for making it normalized, before people shat on it and then Valve made it and it was ok.
Stop being racist
Bethesda invented paid mods for skyrim
Yes, and?
why do rich people like yachts so much
>invents paid mods
id did that with final doom
billionaires are vain, like extremely so.
invented paid mods
wrong
invented lootbox cancer

kills physical media
it's not Valve's fault that stores stopped selling physical media. They just offered an alternative.
rampant censorship
you mean the one instance with Hatred that they walked back on? lol
Unless you mean the H visual novel slop that was initially removed from steam in which case ill give you that one.

So you are triggered that Gabe is rich and doesn't paypig his personal wealth to random developers?

Don't forget:
Put leftoids in charge of the discussion boards
Your reviews can be deleted if found "offensive"

why are mutts like this?
Cultist behavior
Shut up Chris brat you're a fucking faggot
it's not Valve's fault
faggot, they literally started game key cards with half life 2
But when Microsoft and Sony ask for 30% cut it's alright
yeah because they publish and market games. Valve does nothing for the industry
shoo shoo, console drone
I don't think Valve stops other publishers from publishing games outside of Steam though. Just looks like a monopoly because it just werks.
If Epic actually tried to build their launcher with features like Steam (workshop, controller API, streaming, and a bunch of other shit) then I think more people would use it.
Not an argument
Gaben/Valve will make YOTLD real
turd worlder console tards keep seething
Seeing what Sony and Microsoft do to industry doing nothing is the better option
Steam is mostly third worlders
freaky shit in international waters and the implications
Gaben is pure
only because blood cant reach his penis
alright then stop playing games funded by them, yeah even the old good ones too
Implying i pay for games
So will you stop using steam?
be timmy tencent
seethe at valve and gaben
refuse to improve your own store
spend literally hundreds of dollars on jeets to shitpost about steam
Imagine if Timmy made a deal with publishers that they would only have to pay a 15% cut instead of 30% and a 5% if you are an indie game. He could drain steam dry but he is FASD'ed so it is what it is
enter thread about Valve
seething about Epic games
GOOD MORNING SAAR
be cultist
anyone who criticizes your god (gabe) is the devil (tim)
Its funny atheists replaced actual god with praising corporations
Epic store is the best thing that has happened to Valve, because know their paid indian shills and cultist fans can use that to deflect any criticism.
Seriously, make any kind of negative post about Valve and it will instantly be bombarded by "BUT WHATABOUTISM EPIC!?"
As bad as Gaben is he is no where near as anti consumer as Timmy
Forced steam on everyone's throat with exclusives like half life 2, counterstrike etc.
And this is bad because you are a retarded Anon Babble nigger, I guess.
gaben bad
timmy bad
ms good
sony GOOD
nintendo EXTRA GOOD
What causes this mental illness?
Tim gives free games and gabe doesn't so tim is nore pro consumer
You are too young to remember collective seethe caused by steam exclusivity
tim gives free shit so he is better because steam gives no shit
lmao
Valve employees used to shill and post here back when a lot of today's users used to be underageb&s. That's why there was so little resistance to Anon Babble accepting Steam to play HL2.
invents lootbox cancer
lol you're dumb
Here is another crackhead conspiracy theory
gaben actually runs Anon Babble and uses it for free marketing
No one cares about maple story or whatever.
Valve is effectively the one responsible for starting the lootbox cancer with TF2 mann kike crates.
Yeah anon those daily Steam Deck threads that directly link stuff to reddit are totally organic.
Yes
everyone has already forgotten the 2010s "praise Lord Gaben! PC mustard race" era of PC gaming
The reason everyone ignores Steam's faults and shits on everything else is because they were literally psyopped into worshipping him. It's a company strategy to make a brand a religion.
I am actually gaben, please delete your thread because you are making people notice things they should not notice.
it's the same turd worlder schizo making his retarded valve hate thread again
surprised you did not mention artifact yet
Why does Anon Babble like Sweet Baby Inc now?
any now trannies are licking his cock because he bundled a shitty windows emulator on his walled garden and channting YOTLD-ACK
When did paid mods happen? I thought they stopped it because you tards threw a tantrum, now we lost a decade of capitalist incentive to create great mods and stories ushering in new talent and opportunities because of a bunch of commie entitled faggots

But only turd-worlders use steam to begin with anon. English is only the 3rd most used language on the platform, after chinese and russian.
He had no choice.
no one cares about the aztecs we'll keep saying george washington carver invented peanut butter
Hey fuckhead, go make a real game instead of DEIdlock. If your washed-up company has any talent left, that is.
There's a bunch of free games on Steam
Also great games are never given for free by anyone, the best you can hope for is mediocre ones
Make a platform that has cheaper keys on sketchy sites and I use that.
Valve gave half life and L4D2 for free so those are mediocre
That was a myth that sprouted while he was still alive. He was a smart guy who was just like "Peanuts are great. Here's like a thousand things you can do with them." (and only actually patented a handful as his own creation IIRC) and people in the early 1900s went nuts and blew it all out of proportion.
I think it was Kellogg who actually made and patented the first peanut butter as we would recognize it.
I used to think Tim was great for creating unreal engine and making it free.
But Unreal slop is what's destroying the industry.
There's no salvaging it now.
You forgot that they also invented the battlepass.

they were still teaching he was the inventor in the 80s
Cultist thinking
kills physical media
Physical media for PC games were on a slow fall because it was hard to standardize the sales model. Especially as console gaming started rising and tooking space from stores.
Steam also made their storefront the best and made it easier for you to access all kinds of games. Printing games for smaller devs with covere and inviting big box packaging takes money.
YOTLD
It's never going to happen, ever.
I'm not saying this as some kind of revelatory "haha poor linuxcucks"
I'm saying this as a statement of fact. Linux will never overtake windows.
I know. I'm just saying the myth is as old as the guy himself because people have always been fucking dumb and like mythologizing people.
Yes, yes, well done. However
Created the best platform for gamers
Helped the indie and modding scenes to thrive
Saved pc gaming from the dark ages
Saved linux gaming

Has made some kino games with Valve
Gaben has some skeletons in his closet, but that doesn't erase all the good he did to pc gaming with Steam
Kneel
Saved pc gaming from the dark ages
How? The moment Steam got popular the golden age of PC gaming died, if anything he KILLED PC gaming.
And unlike lootboxes that was actually their creation.
Now here me out, innovative idea
Service that's equal to or better than steam
It's that simple
ALL HAIL GABEN AND HIS MONOPOLY
this but unironically
Average PC consoomer already has 100s of games on their steam libraries at minimum so they won't easily shop outside steam unless it's a very hyped game (something in the levels of hl3, wc4, dow4 etc.) exclusive in another place hence people calling steam rightfully monopoly. Steam got where they are through underhanded tactics like sales, exclusives and that is exactly the only way to beat them. Except steam had a gigantic head start and now you have to first make revolutionary game and second something better than old and tested steam which is basically impossible to pull of by any average joe or billionaire jew.
It was inevitable as soon as the concept of launchers was born that someone would "win" the market. I think we're incredibly fortunate that a privately owned company is that winner. Imagine if it was some publicly traded shitters looking for a way to reduce costs every week and never once considering how to make consumers INTENTIONALLY spend more money by offering them things they want.
I dont use other services (besides torrents) because I buy shit for 50% or more on sale on steam lol
I only really use Steam and GOG because they actually have something to offer me.
Epic doesn't really have much to bring to the table compared to either of them so besides free games there just isn't anything worthwhile to keep me there.
sales and exclusives are underhanded tactics
Jfc anon
timmy tencent seething
its OK all things should end
I hope videogames die soon and we move on to the next thing
Well, yeah. Why do I need steam running in background to play half life 2? It's bullshit and jewish.
Riot actually multiplies those numbers btw. If you play more than one game on their launcher, they count you as multiple users.
Free games from epic is better than bot free games on steam
Why do I need steam running in background to play half life 2?
That's the funny thing, you don't.
HL2 launches from the exe without Steam.
They don't even count valorant in those numbers, so it's TFT and LoL. and the playerbase barely overlaps t here.
So what else good does epic have besides free games they give out ever once in awhile?
At the time it also included Legends of Runeterra and Wild Rifts in the launcher when the articles about their monthly active users was released a few years back.
Made the greatest game engine of all time
Made the best shooter of all time

Fights agaisnt Valves ILLEGAL monopoly
Remember that here on Anon Babble we salute Tim Sweeney in his fight against Gabes satanic cabal
invents lootbox cancer
That was maplestory
it's more accurate to say valve POPULARIZED lootboxes yeah
and even then valve wasn't anywhere close to as predatory with it as other companies were and still are, it's all cosmetic shit
ILLEGAL
You've seen those lawsuits?
Yes
Hasn't been determined to be illegal by the courts yet.
Case a few months back got changed to a class action but there hasn't been any updates since then.
The big thing I don't like is that it's only stated that it affects Steam Keys but from the handful of emails from the case they clearly don't and should have been in the terms from day one.
Steamie seethes at the idea of Tim standing for the Truth, Justice, and the American Way
As expected of the third world commies worshiping Gaben
spic larping as american
lmao
wasn't anywhere close to as predatory with it
You have to buy keys to open the fucking box, overwatch gives you free lootboxes you can open without money
Hello, Timothy.
You literally have to pay like 300 bucks for some skins in Dota 2, it's more than jewish.
it's all cosmetic shit
i repeat
the boxes have nothing vital in them
they're all cosmetic
even maplestory was worse about this by having game functions in its cash shop in 2004
You can buy stuff in Dota 2 like double down tokens that people abuse to wintrade, and have to pay for a sub that gives you systems and game mechanics you otherwise don't have.
Difference being who gives a shit about DOTA 2. And I'm not kidding either, people point to TF2 as the source of Valve's love for lootboxes and that game still isn't predatory about monetization.
Having your game on steam is already enough marketing, if it sells well at all it gets bannered for a few days and a pop up ad on steam launch. We've seen the comparison time and time again on exclusives coming from snoy and epic to steam, and the results are always staggeringly in steams favor. Maybe because you don't need a shitty third party console or more slopware on your pc to add to your already big library
isn't buying exclusivity more monopolistic behavior than, i dunno, putting the games your company made exclusively on your store?
This literally doesn't happen I have over 9k hours in dota 2 I'm top 400 immortal and people don't win trade. The only person I've ever even seen buy a fucking double down token is a hardstuck herald 5k hours into the game who thinks they belong higher so they double up and head back to single digit mmr
nobody gives a shit about the 2-3 most played game on steam
so steam is dead?
no i will not elaborate because i love penis
lmao

How did he save PC gaming when PC gaming was the worst the moment Steam got popular?
posted from my iphone
yes lol
it's also a passive admittance that your store doesn't have anything going for it in comparison, you have to force the issue on people using your store
sweeney fully understands he's never going to beat steam but same as ubisoft, EA and amazon he thought he was gonna buy his way into dominance over steam
maybe if they'd tried in 2003 when steam first launched he'd have had something but it was already more than ten years late to try when he started EGS in 2018
still doesn't elaborate on how it was worse the moment steam got popular
Christ, you ARE gay, aren'tcha?
ex-fucking-actly
How did it get better? You were the on that first claimed that Valve saved PC gaming... how?
Steam is simply a better platform. There isn't any other, and I'm fine with it because my friends and games library are on it and I'm not some Zigger that's been VAC Banned.
Tim can give all the freebies he wants, it won't make me leave Steam. And you're doomed to make the same thread over and over thinking I give two shits what Gabe Newell does in his spare time being rich.
Lemme guess, you said nigger, got vac banned, and went on a crazy revenge spiral thinking these threads will do any sort of damage?
This. Steam just came first, and was built better. Everyone else is just trying to be it's own Steam without all the things people like and have on Steam already.
does "securom" ring any bells
I will never not laugh at the suits acting like the parasites they are begging for a piece of someone else's pie.
steam is a monopoly
steam is racist
steam is anti game dev
It's hilarious and pathetic
It's a status symbol. The Rich flexing on other Rich. Competing with the Hendersons but more high stakes.
Cultist post
So Steam forcing DRM to everyone was saving PC gaming because a few few games had some shitty RNG that everyone hated and complained about?
clearly securom doesn't ring a bell which is doubly awkward since you're complaining about DRM
WHY CAN'T I JUST BUY 300 SHARES OF MY COMPETITION AND CRASH THEM LIKE IN EVERY OTHER INDUSTRY
COMPETING IS HARD
THIS IS DISCRIMINATION
corporate seething is delicious
read the post again
The alternatives to the "cult" are all worse in their own way, lad.
Also, the cult provides Tunngle or Hamachi styled IP passthrough for easy server hosting.
i keep a lot of games on an external SSD and steam is by far the easiest to manage shit on
Two words cultist: Free. Games.
i did, you called securom fucking "RNG" and not what it actually is
What's funny is that he's still infinitely superior to when he dies and his replacement makes mandatory AI generated ads before you launch a game, requires a 15 dollar subscription to access your account and bans all "objectional content".
ESL brownoid complains about steam because he can't afford games
Steam did not make PC gaming worse it made it way more accessible to devs and to consumers. It's been nothing but a win for gamers any trannies like you seething over steam or "muh monopoly" need to hang. If other platforms want to compete then they should put out real competition
He IS ex Microsoft nigger after all...
I..if you don't use epic or gog you're a CULTIST
No I have a functioning brain if I wanted free games I'd download them online for FREE without having to give my data to some retard corpo. Sorry that you're poor and can't afford to buy games but coming here to shill your dogpiss platforms is embarrassing. You niggers make the same threads simping for epic gog or whatever platform but you never see daily threads about people shilling steam. Who's the real cultists here let's be honest
cultists got triggered that people are waking up to Gabens bullshit
advocating piracy and calling others poorfags all in once sentence
do shills even try?
Pc gaming was mostly on a downfall after the 90s because people preferred to game on consoles back then, and because piracy was so easy, no company would be bothered to create a decent pc port of their game.
Valve offered a convenient way to purchase vidya on pc with Steam, which pretty much revolutionized the industry.
Killed PC gaming and the rest of arguments in OP
Hollow arguments that follow the same logic with Bethesda's Horse Armor DLC.
Micro transactions and digital only purchases were unfortunately the future. If X company wouldnt pull the first move, then eventually another would have.
If you want to blame someone about microtransactions, blame the cattle goyim who bought that shit. About the death of physical media, blame the vidya market expansion. Now everyone can make videogames and everyone can sell their slop online. Creating a physical version has always been a hassle, and people nowadays have such ridiculously big libraries, the majority doesnt care about owning a physical version of their games anyways. Nowadays, its all about coonsooming and get excited for the next thing.
Moreover, blame how usb's killed CDs, and how vidya became so large, that they would need 2-4 DL blu rays to fit in.
Censoring
Steam is the least censored platform in the industry. I dont know where that comes from
Paid modding
Yes, its scummy, but Im sure that actual modders are behind that movement, not Steam. Steam mostly gaslights them in order to get a cut from their profits, but so far modding is a free thing.
Bethesda and Rockstar have done more damage to the modding scene than Gaben did
giving back to industry
if you make money you're supposed to give it away instead of spending it as you see fit?
fuck off with this commie rubbish retard
muh greater good
no such thing exists
introduces paid mods
apologizes and reverts the changes
bethesda keeps using them because they're jews
etc.
I trust gaben the white op is a faggot
What bullshit ovef 15y I've saved more in USD than epic could ever offer for free
Read it again saar I know you're retarded and brown but you're being paid 8 cents a day to shill epic on here at least do your job right you useless nigger.
Is fucking HALF LIFE 3 not enough for you?
monopoly
You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.
Butthurt anti Valve faggot are somehow more retarded than Volvo cultists.
everything you said was done by shittendo first
I don't get it?
If devs don't like it they can just host their games somewhere else. Many options.
after 9 years in development, hopefully it'll been worth the weight
worth the weight
worth the weight
worth the weight
worth the weight
Because they consider anyone who doesn't 100% hate Valve is a cultist.
There is no thought, just shitposting and baiting.
yeah because they publish and market games
I'm a bit confused here anon, you're implying that microsoft and sony have games for their systems, which is verifiably not true.
now we lost a decade of capitalist incentive to create great mods
We can look at bethesda's creation club right now to see just what kind of "quality" the incentives produce.
because it never existed
take huge gamble on digital distribution
everyone thinks it's retarded
steam is awful at launch
most people ignore it
spend years cultivating and improving steam
suddenly everyone else realizes its a great model
NOW it's a monopoly
I mean, I'm not a huge fan of all the gambling crap for skins and whatever, but Valve isn't a monopoly over anything, they were just the first to the scene by a long shot so they are just better than everyone else at what they do. The would be competition is just bytt hurt about it because they want a bigger piece of the pie.
What ARE retards talking about with "exclusivity" on Steam? I always see "people" saying that but Steam has never had any exclusivity outside of their own games.
I did no such thing, retard.
nta, but the jury is out on HL3. Valve has lost a ton of talent over the years since they don't haaave to make games anymore, which is a good and bad thing, since they aren't forced to churn out slop at the behest of some corpo board for a profit motive, but it also means that they don't retain actual game dev talent the way they used to.
Oh man, remember the times before Steam was popular when there was no DRM on PC and everything was an utopian dream not run by a monopolistic company?
This. Epic only takes like 10% right? It's so cool to see all these publishers moving over there and passing those savings onto the customers because just like they told everyone that's the real problem with steam, they make games more expensive! Lol
steam has pretty much no forced exclusivity besides the obvious VALVe titles, so the only reason steam is the only platform some games are released on is by developer choice
It's 12% but your point stands.
Trickledown is a meme.
It was a better time, so much proper support for PC titles too. Valve really killed such a good thing
Killing GFWL saved PC gaming, correct.
This. If it weren't Valve as gatekeepers, with their massive support for Linux, it would have been fucking Microsoft and locking game DRM to Windows.
he was being sarcastic you newfag retard, GFWL was literally an abomination of bad ideas
To be fair it was a pretty insignificant bullet point when the EGS push started, but it was one of the funnier ones
he is also being sarcastic
Anon..lmao...lurk more
unreleased game
even if it did release, might follow in 2's footsteps in being a moviegame
The irony of corporations like microsoft whining about monopolies because they can't buy out valve
Remember when Microsoft completely dropped PC support and focused entirely on the Xbox 360 to peddle paid online and DLC to retarded kids and young adults?
Such a nostalgic time!
nta, but I remember the initial seethe steam existence has caused. It was mostly coming from ye olde gamer boomers who were writing for pc gaming magazines and were avid collectors as well. they were saying that steam will fail because there is no option to order a physical copy as well, they were living in the adsl age and couldn't grasp faster internet speeds, and couldnt trust valve creating a vidya platform because they are but a mere videogame company that makes videogames
wasn't alive/too young to remember HL2 at launch
The funny thing about the 30% is that it only applies to big companies, and that retail asks for way more, but of course companies like Microsoft are exempt from plenty of costs in the USA which is why their fucking platforms got any traction in the first place.
Along with a retarded fanbase of course
American patriot wannabes sucking off one of the most cosmopolitan multinationals in existence!
The service was fucking shit, that was the reason, from activation issues to launch issues.
It was ahead of it's time, broken at launch, but they stuck along with it, took some financial hits and it paid off in the long term.
I mean 12% vs 30% from Valve, Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft is pretty big.
But the delusion it would lead to lower prices was silly especially acting like they would do that was a pipe dream of idealization.
rampant censorship
?????
Bro just pay for Xbox live, it's only 50 dollars a year to access your internet for P2P hosted games, you aren't poor are you? It's coming to GFWL anyway.
Oh for sure. I was genuinely excited at the prospect of EGS when it was announced. Market competition for Steam would be great. It's just that none of the people trying are actual competition. It's just a bunch of corpos trying to muscle into the market with inferior platforms. I fully welcome an actual competitor to Steam. GoG could be of they wanted to be. But they opted for standards that are great but put them out of the running against steam. I still will purchase from GoG though, while Tim will never get any money from me.
I was a console gamer back then so I dont fully know how steam was at launch, but that doesnt surprise me.
Watching this industry burn to the ground shouldn't be this hilarious
favela monkie still butthurt his nigger rig can't run CS2
many such cases!
People think devs and publishers censoring cleavage in their dating sim games is Steam censoring them. It's just retards anon
EGS shills, Volvo fags and tendies calling each other cultists
Yeah I feel ya.
My biggest complaint was how slow they were to push updates and actually improve the damn launcher. I was already conditioned to ignore it as a UE dev and thought the store would improve their focus on the overall launcher but boy was I wrong.
I don't give a shit about amerimutt politics thoughbeit
Yeah exactly, when it launched I was an EGS sympathizer. New platform, had to get their legs, offering a better monetary split to attract devs and all that, but then yeah, the shop was shit. The store was shit, and instead of fixing it they just started throwing heaps of cash at exclusivity deals and smear campaigns instead of making their own shit better. Really a shame in a lot of ways.
I waited 15 years for this, it all tastes so sweet!
The retarded consoomers who kept defending it being butthurt about it is even better!
Now these retarded normalfags can't even afford AAA games.
EGS
All they needed to do was push Unreal Tournament 4 and fund mid sized developers for games exclusive on their platform.
What a complete waste of everybodies time and money.
works with SBI
the vice president and all high standing devs are Indians
donates money to democrats
hire outspoken leftist BLM activists
bans anime games from their store
did I miss something?
But devs already only pay 12% on Timmycel's store, retard.
However I as a consumer don't give a shit about devs being taxed less if I pay the same price
There are no EGS shills itt
Valvedroᥒes are just falseflagging as usual because they know they can't argue back legitimately
100 vbucks have been added to your Epic Games account.
Epic gives away either shovelware or a good game that I already played 5 years prior.
Good practice for farming turd worlders I guess, but do you really want them as your main target market
All they had to really do was make a reliable functioning platform and it would have caught SOME traction. And yeah, using some of their own solid games as exclusive titles to pull more users in would help and all that but they just took the worst possible course. How Tim still has his job sort of blows my mind sometimes.
you are literally one of them, you blatant homo.
store doesn't have lots of unnecessary facebook features for normalfags
"THE STORE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL!"
I've never had any issues starting any game there, what's your issue?
They will take those games away too. I went back to try and play one of the "free" games they "gave" me, and it just told me the game wasn't available and removed it from my library when I tried to install it lol
cope
invents paid mods
Quake total conversions and Duke Nukem 3D map packs were sold boxed in retail stores long before that
invents lootbox cancer
Fifa Ultimate Team pre-dates the TF2 lootbox update by several years
kills physical media
Sony did that with Limited Lifetime Activations in SecuROM
rampant censorship
Games have always been censored ever since the Atari days.
For PC games specifically even back during the physical disc days most brick and mortar game stores never sold porn games, you typically had to buy those from either porn stores or online.
Sure they did Ranjit
more like murdered it
whatever, I just sold counter strike shit again and got $50. I have down this like 3 fucking times already. I haven't played this game in like 6 years.
no shopping cart for YEARS
would flag you for trying to purchase multiple games too fast
lol. lmao.
dilate
would flag you for trying to purchase multiple games too fast
Nice missinformation Arjun, this was the persons bank that flagged him. Not Epic
no shopping cart for YEARS
And they added it and it wasn't need at first because the store didn't have many games? Like who the fuck complains about this minor issue?
So the store is unusable for you because you couldn't mass buy games? Is that it?
Well firstAside from that they didnt/don't (I havent even tried to use EGS for years now) have basic functionality like a cart for multiple purchases. The UI for the store was/is terrible.
one scrap metal has been added to your steam inventory for this post
source?
ALSO
the store didn't have many games
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Show me some proof of this
Nuh uuuuuh!
Lol, fix your shitty platform Timmy
YOU HAVE TO PAY
No you don't nigga, you don't have to buy skins, you can enjoy the game literally for the price of a janny's salary
Still more valuable than timbucks
You know this exact same thing has happened on Steam?
I don't have EGS installed but it happened with the copy of Control they gave away years back, when I went to play it it wouldn't let me install it and now it's just not in my library anymore, so I dunno what proof I would have to show you anyway.
Don't forget.
making a sting operation with fbi to throw an autistic 12 year old german kid in a federal prison under pretense of inviting him for a tour of Valve
post proof; i'll wait for that reddit link from /fuckepic
Never happened to me in 20 years of using steam, but when it does I'll stop buying games on Steam
Why do valve drones literally suck Gabens cock as if he's some sort of messiah? Is it fanboyism or obsession or something else?
this is supposed to make me hate valve? locking up tismos? that shit's based beyond comprehension.
post proof
Lol you want proof that control isn't on my EGS library so you can just say I never had it in the first place shill fag? Keep collecting those penny's jeet bot
penny's
nice self report
Gaben fucked me in the ass
It was the Sims community that invented paid mods
Awww man, that autocorrect is the smoking gun jeet, I made it all up, EGS really is a greatly platform, please for buying the EGS, gaben is benchod fag. Mr. Sweeny have never take free game back
Finally, someone else said.
Steam Decks threads have to be the largest marketing push I have ever seen. Those fucking things are turbo dead.
Nah, it's more like blind nostalgia.
"Valve is good because they were cool in the 2000s".
OMG CUM INSIDE MY FUCKING MOUTH GABE
PLEASE GAPE MY ASSHOLE
Okay, bro...
Steam took 1000 dollars from my bank account randomly, never using it again.
It's worth noting that the 30% take is only for games that don't hit certain thresholds. Once they have enough sales it drops, since the static costs have been covered at that point.
30% is only an issue for shovelware and/or AAA duds
least obvious egs shill
Valvetrannies are still in denial about the death of their favourite developer. Valve died the moment they embraced the casino revenue model instead of the classic model, as it meant that they don't need to try to innovate as games continue generating revenue long after they are out.
I'm a shill because I don't parrot a lie from /fuckepic made by paid VaIvejeets?
That's just the curse of live services
