I have a ton of arguments and won't bother reposting them every single topic where people try to shit on other clients because they are indoctrinated by steam meme's.
U are this typical guy that has no experience with any other client and only used steam and started to believe in all those "steam is the savior of pc gaming" meme's where i was referring towards in my post before and you don't even realize it.
If you grow up with PC gaming and saw the rise of steam u realize nobody liked or even wanted steam because it needed to be active on the background which ate resources something most pc's if not all pc's couldn't bother with sacrificing through every bit of performance had to be allocated towards games to even make them run half decent at the time.
Then they gates all the populaire IP's behind there shop ram out half life 2 to push there engine forwards where they wanted to get even more loyalties with. make mods paid ip's because why not.
And yea lovely company.
Then we got the aggressive paid mod that killed mod community's off, luckily they cancelled it after destroying a huge chunk of the community first and then stilll split the community's up with there own version of mods that if people want to develop for will have to do extra work ot push it on other platforms which kills of other shops entirely like gog on mod support or any competitor on this solution. Which makes gog completely irrelevant as u will always get less support as this result.
Steam such good boys.
Absolute fantastic.
Then you got the absolute fantastic refund option. Gaben woke up one day and said lets give people refunds and lets people trade games !.
Oh wait.
He woke up one day and hired a school full lawyers to fight against it and introduced permanent renting to avoid having people to trade games with eachother, but skins however sure why not.
Then the loot box and skin bullshit that he heavily cashed in on it promoted and pushed out in his games that heavily parasite on children that now are getting banned everywhere. Hell he even allowed complete scam websites to sell there skins off with there system because why not.
But luckily we got a forum to communicate directly with devs through. A forum that costed them billions to create where linking pictures or getting basic features like spell check isn't something that could be developed because they probably have to up there cut to 60%.
Yet every dev gives a forum for free with there games to communicate with them through that can be linked with social media accounts. It's a simplistic shat out forum that gets auto generated through tools that dwarfs the steam forums ( lol ). And this has already happened forum side for games for decades.
Guess amazing innovation.
Then we got steam machines, i will not entertain you with that crap shoot. ( well spend money gaben )
Then we got controllers nobody uses
we got big picture that probably 20 lost console players care for out of the millions of gamers.
oh and the all mighty steam reviews
Want to know about a game?
www.twitch.tv or
www.youtube.com and type in the game name and boom there you go endless amounts of video reviews and people live streaming that can answer your questions in seconds.
Hey men i only played 450 hours and a whole work week in 2 weeks and the game is awful guys. But if you do changes to the game i want to see i will change my review guys!!!!!!!.
then lets get a combo going
Forum + review
On the forum:
If you don't do what i tell you i will make a negative review on your page !!!!!!
Gets banned
Goes to review:
Omg censor communist devs banned me because i didn't like the game OMG. negative ( 1000 hours played )
Do i need to keep going? or does your steam indoctrinated brain start to understand how the world works now?
There is a reason when gaben starts to talk at a dev conference he gets laughed out of the room because honestly it's pathetic what efforts he puts in with that amount of money.
Oh and ask him as a half life fan when the next game comes out, he will happely ignore you and not even react towards you remotely, because fuck decency towards his consumers right?.
But keep hugging your "steam has features that matter" tree. Nobody cares for.
I know people that pirate every single steam game for the sake of not wanting to deal with steam or gaben even remotely. It's either gog or gtfo. Simple because of the sole reason they don't supporting renting games.
Loads and loads of PC only gamers, play minecraft, they play world of warcraft ( or any of the 100's of mmo's out there ), they play webbrowser games, they play blizzard or EA games only. And never even touched steam to start with.
U guys are living in a bubble. maybe you should start hating on riot for having there own client with nothing in there shop. Oh wait, they couldn't care even remotely because that single client and game alreayd has 67 million of players with 27 million of daily players.
steam won't even hit the 16 million of daily players if they are lucky.
Maybe that's enough arguments for you.
Epic store is what it is, they do what valve did back in the day brute force buyers toward there platform and tries to create a enviroment that competes with steam in the future. They brought heavy rain and some console games already towards PC something gaben also didn't give 2 shits about.
Where red dead redemption? could steam not go towards them make them a offer to push it towards the PC platform? where are old console exclusives? can he not go to sony and make a deal to get older games of there's on PC platform? same with nintendo? do something with the money people paid them to do stuff with?
What about mmo's, don't you think taking 30% of there subs and every small micro transactions is going to be ridicilously expensive for those company's? Na, gimme that 30% on everything bra.
Maybe you should read into world and warcraft and why the whole company blowed up and there ip's are dying as result for the simple fact that all the billions people paid them for didn't result in anything else then expensive villa's for the ceo's.
But it's good to see he cares for PC gamers. he knows how to slam that hammer on that billions dollar worth metal plate i guess.
