This is why us gamers need to rise up

No

i just want my games in one list, it used to be something like d:\games before it was Steam (know what i'm saying)

Why not though?

Shouldn't we demand better products and more convenience?

exactly, people dont want a folder of different launchers for different companies, the less work the more people will use your thing

i dont use anything but steam

Remember when this shit was a thing?

if some of the shit from other launchers were on steam i'd likely play them a little

The ptsd is real

all the new sites seem to not have reviews, and include microtransactions, and have like 5 games

And they had to have an international committee step in and make a universal standard?

im just not going back to that shitstorm

Now it's just fuckin game publishers and game launchers

ooh, a broly torrent that's not a direct cam nice

i will seriously go back to d:\games for these games if they don't list on Steam

didnt they change to epic laiuncher so they could have a larger profit margin because epic takes like half as much as steam

I mean

and then it becomes a fight over who offers what, and games move repeatedly between stores

fucking terrible

The only thing this does for me is i'll just pirate the next metro

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i'm glad EA isn't listing on Steam, in a way, makes them easier to avoid

Hope stalker 2 comes out on steam.

Steam takes margin for the shear size of hosting a library of games on demand for purchase and download, to host those files on different regional servers, under one house

i will never forget what they did to Bullfrog

they get a bigger margin for sales but nobody's gonna fucking go for it

certainly not as many

higher cut per sale, less sales, pissed off consumer base

not a win

Every company had one chance to get into the market before Steam cornered it

Its not just that @Strayan't Its also the fact that steam has a much bigger userbase

And the only competition they had for close to a decade was fuckin EA's shitty origin and those G2A clones.

But they just sold keys

Unless you count the 10 to 14 year olds who play fortnite, But they dont buy games anyway.

i will admit i do like battlenet and being able to play the game while it is downloading

haven't heard of battlenet for a while

Probably because blizzard is circling the drain

i enjoyed bo4

i never really got suckered into late Blizzard

Warcraft 2 was good, though
