- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 3 days ago:
It’s a production issue mostly. And one that has been predicted for a while now.
High Bandwidth Memory is what the AI companies want. Which while it isn’t the same as consumer DDR RAM, it does use the same chips.
It’s the production of the chips that are the bottleneck. Combined with the recent and rapid growth in AI data centers. That’s where the price increase and shortages come from, corporate buyers have bought out production, before it hits the consumer market.
Demand has risen sharply, and supply isn’t able to keep up (and it isn’t a simple thing to just make more chips).

DRM isn’t enforced right?
Good job completely ignoring what I said about Valve paying publishers to use them as DRM to forced a install base. That’s a good little lamb you are.
MORE consumer friendly
It is literally the bare minimum they are required, something they spent years arguing against. And you say I’m making poorly researched takes.
I know it’s hard to come to terms with how you’ve been treated like a fool. But don’t worry, one of these days you’ll see the light.

No surprise.
Wikipedia ain’t the bastion of facts that lemmites make them out to be.
It’s a mess of personal fiefdoms run by people with way too much time on their hands and an ego to match.

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.

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.

Steam already sells enough slop without AI.
But you know for sure the moment Gaben sees all the money from AI games, that shit will be pushed to the max.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Because Gaben is a libertarian fuckwit.
Fuck his greedy ass. And fuck G*mers defending his monopoly.

As far as I remember, and I may be wrong, you could always the refund, but with a very short time frame.
Clearly you didn’t read the article.
Literally states (very early on I might add) that Steam had you waiving the right to a refund.
And yes. No company is perfect. But only Valve has brainwashed G*mers into accepting its monopoly and Shite customer support.

The reason you can get refunds. Is because Steam did this shit for years, until the EU told them to wise up.
So fuck off with your revisionist “Steam is consumer friendly” bullshit.

Calling Sony a bunch of bastards here.
While calling Palworld an indy game despite the Sony connection.
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 3 weeks ago:
Seeing G*mers attitudes change on Sony between this and Palworld. Is a tonal whiplash to say the least.
- Comment on gabe³ half-life 3 confirmed 3 weeks ago:
My point was that self distribution was already a thing.
And Steam didn’t improve download speeds. If Steam was around then it would be subject to the same speed restrictions.
- Comment on gabe³ half-life 3 confirmed 3 weeks ago:
So you’re willingly misremembering to reinforce your brainwashing.
That’s just plain sad.
- Comment on gabe³ half-life 3 confirmed 3 weeks ago:
Complaining about the 30% is insanity, that’s how retailers work, it’s not an unusual cut for an online store.
Epic takes 12% and 0% until the game reaches a million. Devs are paid in full for free and giveaways and games on sale.
Microsoft also only takes 12%
It’s only standard because Gabe got his greedy hands there first.
- Comment on gabe³ half-life 3 confirmed 3 weeks ago:
Yes Steam is a defacto monopoly. But not through the actions of Valve but through the actions of it competitors.
Being honest with you. I didn’t read past this. Because it’s so obvious you’re a young G*mer who has only lived in a Steam world.
Steam paid for exclusivity with publishers. Getting them to not only pull games from other online stores (because there were a number of stores back in the day before Steam killed them).
But also to change their physical copies to use Steam as DRM.
consumer rights are in the focus
Ok so I skimmed the rest of the comments and had to laugh here. The EU literally had to come out and tell Valve to stop being anti-consumerist cunts. And even now they’re only doing the bare minimum. Jesus Christ you must still be in school.
- Comment on gabe³ half-life 3 confirmed 3 weeks ago:
Twenty years ago, was 2005.
Cave Story was the year before, Dwarf Fortress was a year out, and Doom was Doom.
Self publishing was a big thing, shareware and early online distribution. Even bigger than it is now. (Because there’s not a monopoly sucking in all the eyes(which includes you it seems as you can’t even imagine a non-Steam world (probably because you’re a young lad trying to act old)))
- Comment on gabe³ half-life 3 confirmed 3 weeks ago:
valve does not enforce a monopoly, its just the competition shoots themselves in the foot all the time
Since you’re clearly too young. I’ll give you a history lesson.
Twenty years ago. Valve started paying publishers to change their physical games to use Steam. The Disc (because games came on discs back then) were useless without the Steam code.
They also paid for exclusivity. As there were quite a few digital distribution platforms at the time. IGN even had one.
free advertising on mentioned storefront
Aww dude. There’s no free advertising.

Noooo!!!
It is ok for Gabe to be billionaire and profit off predatory gambling practices on children and micro transactions and selling broken games and selling unfinished games and repeatedly trying to monopolise the pc hardware industry and being anti consumer and taking 30% of all game sales
Because he monopolised the PC marketplace so I no longer have to leave the house to buy anime porn games.
