It's a store. I buy heavily discounted games from it and use it for nothing else.

a low hanging limbo bar and how rest of industry are so fat and greedy they fail to pass every time. Which I find ironic considering who made steam.

turn off the overlay and use small library mode, it works pretty well together

agreed. that's how xbox used to do it before they retired the old app. they had the microsoft store for buying shit and the xbox companion app for social shit. it just performed like shit despite being the same company that built the fucking operating system everyone uses.

That limbo bar is in fucking underworld now. Gabe Jewell is just lucky people they hired with their microsoft bucks managed to convince enough retarded publishers to release games in their store before you were born and it all snowballed into today. Le competition for pc store didn't exist for 2 decades now.

Yeah it's probably "good enough" like that but what I'd really prefer is Steam to just be a website where I can download installers for games I own, I really don't need any additional software or anything running on my computer. I hate this constant game where hardware capabilities and standards increase so software devs just pile on more shit to run in the background. I don't need an entire application to link to shortcuts of games I installed on my computer.

True, Steam could improve like that in many ways and one can always wish for them to do so.

I take that back, what they did to TF2 with the free2play update and microtransaction is unforgivable. Not to mention them pushing everyone to use match making, making a lot of my favorite dedicated servers a ghost town.

I can imagine we will go back to the days where every publisher has their own stores again and try to play the exclusive game. If GOG is no longer around, I will just sail the high seas for the rest of my life.

lol

Fun fact: The idea that PC gaming was dying until Steam was invented to save it is a complete myth. There was never a point when PC sales declined. This is just completely made up by Valve fanboys.

I would actually say that Xinput did far more to save PC gaming than Steam ever did. Game devs being able to port console games to PC using native Xbox controls and gamers being able to buy a wired Xbox controller and reliably use it with every new game without a single hitch meant that PC ports both improved and became more common, since Xbox 360 was on top in a major way at the time, too. It opened the floodgates enough for people to simply expect PC ports for every indie game and every moderately successful AAA game, which allowed more people to stick with PC only instead of feeling the need to buy a console to play the big hits of the year. Steam's contribution to PC gaming pales in comparison to Xinput framework coinciding with the major success of Xbox 360.

PC gaming was not saved by console ports. Console ports just enabled consoletards to abandon consoles. PC gamers didn't really care about games that could be played with a controller. PC gamers are a different caliber of gamer.

Only zoomers think this way, with their bizarre elitist obsession with using mouse and keyboard for all games even if it makes zero fucking sense. In reality, gamepads and joysticks have been around since the 80s and every PC gamer owned a few but they didn't always work because gamepad compatibility was absolutely inconsistent ass. Xinput was revolutionary, everyone loved being able to buy a controller that would work with every single game unquestionably, so any game that was better with a gamepad could be played easily.

No, the zoomers are the ones that think PC gamers were all just sitting around seething over not getting to play console games with controllers on the PC. That's just not true.

FFVII was fucking huge of playstation. It got a PC port back then. Did it do well on PC? No. Because PC gamers just didn't play that type of game. The PC port of Resident Evil also bombed. So did the Metal Gear Solid PC port. Yes, they used to port console games to PC before Steam existed. They never did very well because console games are made for braindead retards while PC games are made for high iq chads.
