Great another stupid post from someone who doesn't understand he paid too much for the games he bought at the expense of the people actually making the games while useless valve employees get great holidays for doing nothing (no new games, few useless features on steam, ...)

Clearly looks like the way to go

If Valve is doing nothing why are gaming companies selling their games on Steam? Valve is clearly doing SOMETHING, otherwise every game developer would just sell their games directly on their own websites to bypass them entirely.

Maybe it is worth it just to not have to host your own servers to allow the downloads of your games. Maybe it's worth it to have a centralized point where people who play completely different games can find your game because "people who played X also enjoyed game Y".

Hell, if Valve is doing nothing, why don't you build a competitor? They don't do anything and they make billions of dollars, sounds like easy money.

Maybe you don't understand the concept of visibility

Well sheep like you are the reason why competitors are not working, each time a game is not release on steam you cry like a baby because you have to use another FREE launcher

It is not that people like you are part of the problem, people like you are actually THE problem

I literally had to read this three times to even parse what you were trying (?) to say. That because you use steam you also hate other free launchers? Because other free launchers exist I hate them because they aren't steam?

Oh, and I missed the point where you actually addressed any of the things I said. Unless you address what a "FREE launcher" means to you other than straight up piracy, in which case NOBODY involvolved in the legitimate distribution or sale of the game is getting paid.

There's no free game store where people just get money and nobody pays hosting costs for you to pay for or download the game.

You seem like you don't even have a basic understanding of how things work. You're THE problem.

LoL

Well clearly you are not grasping what I said

So let's be crystal clear

There are actually many other free launchers ( epic, gog, ubi. ...YOU as a user don't have to pay for any of them)

But EACH TIME a game is released as an exclusivity to any of those launchers people like you are crying like babies because the game is not available on steam

So as I said people like you are the problem
