You’re so right. You saw Elon for what he was when literally every other person on earth thought he was awesome until 2 months ago.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE BRAVE WARRIOR 07

Are you also a glazer for Amazon and Bezos? Because most of these arguments can apply to them too?

That’s a lot of effort to put in to trying to excuse blatantly predatory practices of a company with an almost defacto monopoly on PC games and uses said almost-monopoloy to steal 30% of the profits from people that actually make games.

GOG existing does not excuse Steam.

30% is massive. Imagine you sold something on, let’s say, Ebay and they took 30% of that money. And devs could have other options of markets to sell their games if more people realised how predatory Steam is and stopped glazing Gabe like he’s the video game messiah.

There’s a difference between gatekeeping/allowing only AAA games, and just having 0 standards of what is allowed on the store.

Yes early access could be a good thing. But it isn’t, they allow all the blatant shovelware and asset flips because, ya know, money. Again, if they just had some fairly basic standards of what they allow on their store to stop their users being ripped off, it wouldn’t be a problem, but that wouldn’t make them as much money, so they don’t do it.

Gabe newel is a billionsire capitalist and Valve runs like any other company. Profits first and foremost.

Why have standards to protect consumers when Gabe needs an 8th super yatch to add to his fleet.

Man I love it when people glaze objectively bad companies just because it’s popular opinion to like them.

Remember steam started the business model of not actually owning your games.

Gabe has made billions by stealing profit from the workers that actually make games.

They had to be sued just to offer refunds.

They host tons of malware and shovelware and outright scam games and even protect them from “”““review bombing””"

They pushed “early access” into the mainstream.

And because of people like you that would literally suck Gabes dick for the meme, they get away with it.
