  • valve is a game company, did so good at helping others sell their games that you people call them anticompetitive. That’s just fucking laughable and I will never understand why so many of you seem to miss that. They didn’t go out and give a different deal to anyone else. But Ubisoft broke the terms they agreed to because they wanted to use VALVES service to hawk their wares. Well they have to pay the Piper, and they don’t get to cry foul if they try to fuck over the hand that fed them.

    You can’t succeed without Valve is a dumb argument.

    Blizzard had no problem with battlenet until they pissed in their customers faces.

    Good old games is alive and kicking

    Humble bundle now has a storefront

    Greenman games is doing just fine.

    And if you don’t like it then just stop using it and do the hard work yourself but NOOO that’s too hard to have to figure out how to actually sell your product.

    God I hope valve just shuts steam down some day and says fuck you to everyone who complains like this



  • As I understand it that’s the price everyone pays to use steam. Dont fucking use it if you dont like it. Why is this a problem? Because steam is too good is the only thing I’m hearing and that’s not steams fault. Everyone else has to do the same thing. Valve didn’t hide this. Also note that they didn’t in fact delist it. They merely considered it.

    This is the same problem/argument I had when microtransactions in games started. Everyone jumped on board and now we have a gaming industry that because users can’t fucking say no they bitch and complain when they don’t get what they want.

    Cry me a fucking river. Go sell your game everywhere else but Steam. Too fucking bad.

    Also I have bought literally hundreds of games from other places, cheaper than steam. Many of them I needed steam to download the games…

    Steam isnt doing anything wrong just because they are handsdown the goat of digital distribution. It’s about as anti competitive as Wayne Gretzky was at his best
