Steam has sub 300 employees and takes a biggest cut on each game. Stop sucking this billionaire’s ass, he’s no better than Epic.

They’ve done considerably more for gaming than epic have ever done. It’s not sucking up to admit that. Stop being angry at people for just being successful, that’s dumb.

Be angry at them for the things they’ve actually done that harm you, not just because.

Oh what a controversial take that no one else has ever had before. Yeah I know about that and I don’t care. I don’t interact with that part of the system so it doesn’t bother me.

And it’s still nowhere close to the damage that Tim Sweeney is done or any of the other executives of any of the other gaming companies.

Let’s all just hope you never have children.

But I’m not surprise at all, that’s the average level of selfishness of the average braindead capitalist loser. Just remember, as hard as you keep licking their ass, steam will only care about you money. Btw you don’t own any of your games lol.

Can we please start reading the articles before commenting, and stop commenting things that didn’t happen? This article is about Chet who barely mentions Gabe once.

The title of the post literally says “hey Tim, Gabe’s better at that then you”. But ok.

That’s not what I imagine when I hear “sucking a billionaire’s ass”, but ok.

Just try ANY form of criticism of steam, and watch the army of gamers rise up while Gabe laugh is way to the bank.

I know you won’t watch it but here you go:

I mean, he bought a 500M yacht while the rest of us starve to death. Surely he’s a good billionaire?!

Relative to other billionaires… yes…

Relative to the average person who doesn’t run a casino… not so much.

I watched all 3 of these close to when they came out.

Those are completely irrelevant to how steam is a better platform and storefront than the epic games store. You also have nothing to say about how almost every other big gaming storefront takes the same cut that steam does.

The fact that Trump rapes kids is also completely irrelevant to the way he manage his country. That’s the kind of logic you’re using.

Lol. Epic takes 12%, steam 30% you dumbass - Imagine employing hundreds of people for years, renting huge spaces, buying a ton of hardware, just so that at the end, a storefront (basically some server space) makes more profit than you on the game you spent years developing.

I know you dont care about any of this. I just want you to remember you don’t own any of your games, and you’re fighting for a billionaire who sold you mom’s anal dildo if he believed he could make more money than games, you loser.

OK but I look at them as the most ethical billionaires I know. They brought us linux gaming in many ways. A wicked open hand held gaming console. Many other awesome pieces of hardware. And in the case of the steam deck, they sell it so close to cost just so you use steam and you don’t even have to. It’s not even required! You can install Windows on it if you want.

Valve VS other corps: they are not the same.

Called it.

Just one should be enough. If you need articles just look around, I’m not your private teacher Also not my problem if you’re to busy to care about educating yourself.
