A few things, Joey
Do you honestly think the average consumer is going to go through the hassle of downloading 10’s if not hundreds of new storefront launchers that would ensue following the collapse of steam? No the hell they won’t.
to *you* yes
not to 90% of PC gamers
indie games would literally *not exist* without Steam
and even games by publishers are crazy boosted by it
Or quit playing games n get a job raise a family
I have a job
They'll fix themselves by the time u return
When the interest rates went to almost zero, housing became an investment class that attracted a shit ton of money - added to which the government pays 'housing benefit' a welfare which covers rent, and thus you created an investment class whose profit came at the expense of the tax payer
you dont need a storefront launcher - lets take an example. i can go to sony and they have whats called a "web site", and i can buy vegas which is a big chunk of data, and it "downloads" and i can install it.
and I'm young enough to not be expected of a family
Halo would never be on PC without steam. No one uses the Microsoft store to purchase and download games.
Coolitic how old are u
20
Combine that with the fact we're an island with limited scope for expansion, and mass immigration, and you have a recipe for house prices rising faster than wages for prolonged periods
Raise a family
lol
Go out there get s good girl n raise a family
the value of steam is not the purchasing, its the marketplace, the shop window
yes
and other platform features
I personally hate steam because it doesn't sell games
but mostly the advertising and marketplace
Yet pretends it does
no1 cares
about your DRM bullshit
literally no1
If you do so now and treat your body right you'll live long enough to see your great grandchildren by the time you're 80
facts for that?
no1 uses GoG
@JoeyJoestar1337 stop wasting time on discord
and get a family
the drm is a somewhat valid point - i depends how its done. calling home regularly is bullshit. license keys and an install time check are fine with me
Yes, and there is tremendous value in a platform that has all your major games, a method to make and talk to friends, and updates said games automatically. There is no other platform that can do this as good as steam can. Steam is like the fucking google of gaming. If you want it, 9/10 it’s there.
I got time to burn retard
U dont
lol
imagine not going for internships
