Steam has to die for video games to live

Passive aggressive reminder that Microsoft pays pajeet goons to shittalk steam because their software distrobution platform sucks and nobody wants to use it.

HA HA HA

PUMP MACHINES

I mean I can think of several reasons,
paid mods, greenlight, making no new games besides VR titles, jewing out and not giving their current games enough resources to be good or better then they are now. The shit mess that is Greenlight
but I would like to know why op thinks they should go first.
Since they have quite good sales, provide a much better service then Origin, whatever shit Ubisoft is trying, Microshit store and Gamespot/EBgames. DRM on their store is a choice and quite weak with most games playable offline unless the developer chooses to make it an always online deal. They work with local internet providers to make local mirror servers so you're not trying to download said games from the other side of the planet
You know have an actual discussion instead of being a
COLOSSAL FAGGOT
and making 2 one sentence posts in a blatant attempt at starting a flamewar.

...

Are you one of those retards who think that Valve invented DRM?
Are you one of those retards who thinks that evil fat Gaben is forcing poor innocent companies to be cunts?

stow it ya scallywag

Incidentally, Valve didn't invent paid mods either Blizzard did.
And I will never forgive them for redistibuting hellfire with a fucking keylogger.

Ever heard of social engineering?

When you create a system, the basic idea to prevent people from being assholes is to assume the everyone will be an asshole, and then patch up the holes that allows them to be.

Even the biggest capitalist state in the world, the US of A, has rules in place that regulate certain aspects of society in order to prevent people from fucking eachother over at every turn, for this same reason there is no single working country that only uses a single political philosophy in running that country.

Communism is a perfect example of what doesn't work on the whole, because as long as it's the backbone of your country, people at the top will exploit it, and many have argued
that that was the purpose in the first place, which brings to mind the Steam system, it's like a fucking arms dealer that sells to both sides, they can sit back, watch the carnage and scamming, claim they'll do something about it but don't, all while they reap the fees.

There's an expression, it takes a 100 to build something, but only 1 to destroy it.

Valve didn't invent DRM, but they encouraged it. They didn't force people to act like assholes, they encouraged it. They didn't just MAKE a shitty system, with it's introduction and financial success, they encouraged other go-getters to use the same shitty practices to compete.

So no, he isn't a retard, you are. You have no idea how business and politics work, and it's important to have a basic understanding of the oldest fucking political behavior aka "follow the leader" to understand why Steam is fucked out the brain.

Who is going go make games? YOU?!

but then how are people supposed to preorder Skyrim 6?
