You’re still dodging what I keep asking you. Answer it or we’re done here.

DO YOU HAVE EVIDENCE THAT VALVE FORCES PC MAKERS TO PREINSTALL STEAM AND STOP PREINSTALLATION OF OTHER APP STORES? DO YOU HAVE EVIDENCE OF THEM HAVING SECRET BACK ROOM DEALS WHERE THEY DON’T CHARGE SOME PUBLISHERS THE STEAM FEE?

It’s a couple of simple questions with simple answers. Yes or no.

And “they do advertising of games on their platform!!!” - that’s seriously one of your complaints? Lmao

30% cut is the industry standard. And they use that cut to fund an extremely bandwidth-intensive service, with stuff like voice chat, notes, friend systems, achievements, cloud save, Linux compatibility layers, streaming, etc. It’s substantially cheaper than the monthly payments MS/Sony/Nintendo take (on top of taking a cut for games) for lesser service. Where’s the anti-competitive behaviour?

Steam’s telemetry surveys are opt-in.

Explain “whitewashing”, please.

They don’t pressure with terms and conditions. Like any service if you want to use steam you agree to their rules. You don’t have to use steam. You don’t have a god-given right to publish on steam. Many don’t publish on steam.

Supporting Russia in Ukraine - explain.

Ethnic cleansing of Chinese??? What?? Ate you high?

And again, I’m going to reiterate:

You’re still dodging what I keep asking you. Answer it or we’re done here.
