  You have no idea why Steam dominates the market if you truly think this.

    Aww dude.

    Steam was plagued with asset flips for years and refused to do anything about it. Repeatedly saying it was a Unity issue.

    Then there’s the slop of shitty “simulator” games

    Digital Homicide

    Bad Rats

    Have we seriously forgotten about Day One: Gary’s Incident

    Steam dominates the market because it paid publishers to use them as DRM for physical releases.

      So does Nintendo’s estore and they don’t bother to filter or sort the slop out, it’s a worthless store to search through. At least steam filters out the slop trash and allows refunds if you somehow fall for garbage.

      What is your point here? Some niche forgotten game from 12 years weighs that heavily on your mind?

      Where do you even find asset flip games? I haven’t seen any in 5+ years and that period only existed because malicious people found the angle, which valve plugged.

      Steam dominates the market because all my friends are there and we all have a great experience. Sales on PC games are better than physical console games ever get. Customer support and in general user experience has been phenomenal.

      You can look past weaknesses that were addressed and solved my guy. Greedy assholes will always try to game the system and valve plugs those quick.

      Aww dude? Wake up?

        Aww dude.

        Good job ignoring Steam’s monopolistic anti consumer practices that caused their dominance.

        Good job ignoring Steam’s multiple instances of willingly selling shit because they get paid either way.

        Good job ignoring Steam had to be forced to give refunds by the EU.

        You’re a good little sheep aren’t you.

  Yes, yes, we get it. Everything is bad, nothing is good.
