The classic “education sucks and college teachers are antifa agent” trope. Please don’t get educated is usually coming from right wing figures whose parents bought them a degree from a prestigious university.

Too bad they cant get their secret boyfriends pregnant, they’d loved to have them get an abortion.

Remember this guy only eats meat.

Capitalism and so called meritocracy have brainwashed humanity.

I suggest adding “fix youtube search” to get rid of the stupid suggestions you get when searching.

I have like 4 plants at home and they’re all dying because my cat insist on sitting directly in the pot.

Americans complaining about gas prive while driving huge trucks that do 26L/100.

Love and sarcasm.

I’ll let you figure it out yourself. Hint: maybe a company that made 17 billions in a singlke year selling others people works could offer a bit more of the profit to those who actually created the product.

Lol. blablabla steam is good blablabla good billionaire blabla

If we could collect only 10% of the energy gamers spent on kissing gabe’s ass, we could solve the energy crisis forever.

Think of me in a few years, when you complain about studios releasing only AI stuff. And if you have kids, I hope they don’t become gambling addicts because I do care about that.

There’s tons of options to host and share files, torrents are just one.

Steam, like spotify and other platforms is just convenient, and in this era of me, myself and I, it’s only thing most people care about.

Anyway, I’m done with the steam fanboys and their cognitive dissonance. Just remember you are directly creating the enshitifcation of gaming, because at the rate studios are firing people, you will soon enjoy only AI stuff, the only way to make profit from games.

Oh, I didn’t know you were a personal friend of Gabe, my bad.

Anyway I don’t care about people like you, you are the problem. I care about people looking for solutions to have a healthy and fair industry.

I use to make a decent living out of music and sound design, 15-20 years ago. Then spotify came along and nobody lives from selling music anymore. Now I teach and if I was honest with my students, I’d tell them they are wasting time. Even here in Montreal, with hundreds of studios, there’s basically no more job in audio because the only way to make profit out of game is with AI and sound banks. So yeah, enjoy the enshitification of games, you’re directly promoting it.

You’re link doesn’t make any sens. It doesn’t change anything, they all have massive studios with thousand of employees, while steam has sub 300 employees.

BTW I ACTUALLY worked with 3 studios in Montreal over the past 15 years. One had a quite successful game but they had to close anyway because they couldn’t secure funding for the following project. Meanwhile steam made hundreds of thousand of the game.

But I get it, you dont care really about games and devs, you care about convenience. Expect a major enshitification of games because IA shit will soon be the only way to make this industry profitable.

You can litteraly watch 45gb movie instantly over torrent these days.

You comparing a store with a digital storefront? Anyway enjoy the library you don’t own, at best it will die with you because you can’t even transfer it, that’s if steam doesn’t change their buisness model for whatever reason.

Valve is one of the most profitable company in the world.

I mean, just look at this thread and see how much free propaganda they get from gamers. That’s a lot of free labour just to defend a billionaire that profits from gambling for kids.

Yeah let’s ignore Epic, just because .

And let’s also ignore the kid gambling epidemic created by Valve.

And let’s ignore the fact that you don’t own your steam games, but people have send death treath to Ubisoft for saying the same.

BTW, Sony, MS and Nintendo all suck, but at least they create jobs for devs.

I mean, Spotify’s model is the industry standard, and it still suck big time and doesn’t give a shit about artists.

Anyway if I’ve learn anything over the past 10 years, it’s that it would probably be easier to convince a room full of maga to vote for Hillary Clinton than the average gamer to admit that steam sucks. So keep kissing this billionaire’s ass because he really does care about you, and remember Ubisoft and Epic (12% cut) bad.

Whataboutism. The fact that someone is a POS doesn’t justify you being one. But if you really want to compare, they all have major studios under their wing and thousands of employees (sub 300 for steam). Epic also only takes 12%, and GOG let’s you actually own your games, DRM free (your steam library dies with you). I’m not defending any of these stores, just pointing out that steam isn’t the good guy gamers think they are. They care about profit, that’s it, yet any critisism is met with an army of gamers ready to give their life for capitalist selfish business.
