I’ve realized I get some pretty bad cramps in my right hand if I play games that requires the track pad to replace a mouse, I wish the Deck’s side would be more angled (see Xbox controller)

It’s too clarify that in their case the games you buy on their platform don’t require anything in particular to install (just the install file that you can download from their website directly and back up for later use), contrary to all other major stores.
I mean… Oh no, someone is being mean “behind my back”?
As for the personal info stuff… Why would they know personal stuff about you in the first place? Don’t let people you know know your username on these kinds of websites and don’t share personal info you don’t want people to know about without a throwaway account?
Sure, because they don’t have any budget themselves…
Maybe NASA would have bothered if its funding hadn’t been cut again and again and again…
How can you feel harassed if you don’t see what a user is replying to you? Unless you pay a lot of attention to usernames…
maybe only works when the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the people are picnicking or such.
Perfect for a US mass shooting!
Eh… I was just showing that you don’t actually own your games as access to them can be taken from you, that’s all.
As to why I dont mind the fee as a consumer; valve invests its earnings into linux gaming and does cool shit like that.
You’re also talking like they wouldn’t have as many customers if they reduced their cut which is completely ridiculous. More profit would go to the people actually doing the work or prices would go down.
Stop defending the billionaire, you’re making a fool of yourself.
There’s a difference between dealing with it and defending it, you’re doing the latter by saying 30% is ok because reasons.
So they’re not DRM free then if you need Steam to download them. You also need to be connected to the internet at least once to confirm ownership, so even if you download it once and think that you can now just transfer the game from one PC to another without an internet connection or without Steam, you can’t.
DRM free and actual ownership means physical. The closest you’ll get to that with digital games is through GOG or Itch.io or anything similar where you can download the actual install files and you don’t need any launcher at all.
They can still delete your account and cut you off from your games.
Again, they can afford their R&D while paying their employees more than the industry average and while making the owner a multibillionaire, they 100% could afford to lower their cut without any negative impact on everyone but Gabe Newell.
The lower % starts if a game sells enough copies to make 10m$, Valve has made 3m$ at that point.
Stop defending the people that make you poorer, they’re not your friends, all billionaires exist at the expense of our wealth. All. Of. Them. Are. Evil.
“Ubisoft take note”
Ubisoft is nothing compared to Valve… You don’t own anything you purchase on Steam and it’s the biggest store by a huge margin, don’t know why Ubisoft is mentioned specifically…
I’ve had this conversation so many times and some people just can’t imagine that they might be paying more than they need to just so Gabe can collect yachts… People feel they’re getting their money’s worth because everything they’ve ever bought is priced based on the fact that there’s multimillionaires and billionaires higher up the chain…
Preach brother, fuck all billionaires!
You could create the best launcher in the world and people would ignore it because they don’t want multiple launchers and their library is already centralized on Steam.
A big part is going to buying yachts as well so Valve and Newell could 100% afford to charge a lot less than 30% and still do just as much r&d
To the downvoters: I hurt your feelings by saying that multibillionaire bad? :( Their money comes from your pockets, wake the fuck up.
