If you didn’t read it how would you know if its a dumb take or not. Dumbest opinion ever

I call it prep and merge…prepare to merge at speed, then merge when it’s needed

Frieren seems good

But if that’s the policy that built steam, it isn’t abusing their position if they have been consistent from the before times. I’m don’t know if that’s the case but I don’t recall any particular discussion about it changing and we definately would have heard about people complaining of so.

A long standing policy that built this “monopoly” simply because no one else wanted to and were happy to hand over the reigns to steam for so long, you dont get to cry foul now if they aren’t actually using this supposed monopoly to punish people.

I think 30% is a lot, but it hasn’t been problematic till some big garbage company is upset about it? Ubisoft can go eat a bag of dicks. They had every chance to do something about this a decade ago. They shit the bed. Too bad for them. Flush. Move on imho

Flesh eating screw worms are the new maggots or so I hear

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

That’s entirely on the companies that made the game if they can’t convince people to type ubisoft.com into their browser and buy the game they want just because it’s not on steam.

Boycott steam if you don’t like this boilerplate deal steam has with everyone else

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

I do not remember

Then Ubisoft is a failed company if they can’t make a product that people want to buy. I have 0 empathy for them.

But if Ubisoft agreed to the terms then I don’t understand the problem with Valve taking action

They agreed to valves terms when they listed their game. Then they aren’t following the deal, and Valve responds. I don’t see your problem. Valve takes 30%. If the game is less than they are selling it on steam else where and the deal was we will sell your game for you, but you can’t sell it cheaper elsewhere then that’s fair as I see it. “But Steam is Very good so we have to sell it there!” Is not a good argument if that’s being made

Why is this any different than any other supplier/retail relationship? Hey you are giving a deal to another store, we want a better price. No? Okay then we won’t carry your product if you can give us a better price but don’t want to.

Explain to me why that’s a problem with Valve, and not every other business ever.

I’m assuming I’m not understanding something correctly and hoping you can explain what I’m missing

I’ve got a black one

I remember playing it. Was fun. Didn’t know all the story behind it though. Thanks for sharing

There is a place near me called punk rock pastries that has probably sold these, or something very very similar.

It was not. Still isn’t. What was the joke? I’m really in the woosh territory here…

No worries mate

Theoretically speaking… This is very useful to consider

I’m not using my money for any of this…
