Oh no... no no no no steam bros..... we're literally just sheeple who have more money than sense. Jesus christ. And we make fun of fortnite kiddies who buy skins for a game they like and actively play???? N-n-n-no... this can't be true.....

>>714941825 (OP)
I mean, he's right. I have so many games I haven't even installed

No shit. Steam is more about coomlecting games like they're Pokemon instead of actually playing vidya

>>714941825 (OP)
you sound mad that we have all the games we could want

>>714941825 (OP)
What the fuck's a steam expert?

>>714941825 (OP)
I dont understand. Ive played every game I bought on steam. I might not have always liked the game, and sometimes I shelve it after playing a short period of time. But most games I play for at least several hours. I might not always beat every game but I get partially through it.
What games do people not play?

I could understand people getting $1 codes for a bunch of garbage humble bundle shovelware, but that cant really be a significant factor especially since that site hasnt been good in like 10 to 15 years.

Have any of you guys bought games and just never played them? Is it a compulsion to buy stuff on sales and you say 'i will play it later' but dont?

>>714941825 (OP)
Good Morning Sir ! I hope all Indians fucking die

Yes Tim. I would rather pay thousands of dollars for games that I'm never going to play, than accept all the games in the universe for free on Epic Games Store. Thanks for asking, even though you probably already knew that.

>>714942106
He's a consultant for devs. He knows more about the platform than anyone else outside of Valve.

>>714942028
if you wanted them you'd play them fuck bag.
You tards are just consumerist addicts buying whatever trash goes on sales for 30-70%

>>714941825 (OP)
>irresponsibly
How do they define that?
I buy things on big sales from time to time that sit in my backlog. How is that irresponsible?

So like Netflix where you have a heap of content but nobody is going to watch it all.

>>714941825 (OP)
And then there's me: Consumer overlords. Only pirate games I will be certain I will finish. Those faggots in their office chairs don't like me very much haha

>get showered with games on a massive discount

>backlog keeps expanding
sounds like a good problem to have

I've bought a ton of games i've already played on other platforms or that i've pirated and haven't bothered firing up again.
Relatively little that i'll never actually play though.

>>714941825 (OP)
I always laugh at idiots going crazy during the sales. They see game for 4 bucks and they buy, even though they don't plan on playing it. You are the same as your parents, picking something up because "It was a good deal". I have played 99% of the games in my Library. I don't frivolously spend my money on stupid shit just because it was cheap.

>>714941825 (OP)
>dude they have stuff to do and can't play video games
This isn't the own you think it is.

I buy games on sale for 90% off that I know are good and that I might play some day if I feel like it, often years go by before that day comes.

Having a collection is good though.

>>714941825 (OP)
What kind of title is "Steam Expert"?
Fuck off

He's not wrong. My Steam library has 177 games and I've beaten 18 of them. Main issue is my laptop being unable to play anything made after 2012 with at least medium graphics at 60+ FPS and the other is that I kept buying shit for $5 for a hypothetical future gaming PC that probably won't be mine as long as this tariff shit is in effect.

The reason OP is mad is because hes an unironic epic shill and wishes that people spend money on EGS.

>>714942323
Not him but most of the games I buy I do eventually play, it just takes months if not years to get to them because I already have other games in the way. The majority of games I eventually want to play I just keep in my wishlist though.

>>714943169

And? It's convenient. Now go on. List the games that were revoked that nobody cares about.

I also have a gog, physical media, and offline storage with me too.

I plan on playing them some day

>>714942272
it's more like that Epic is a worse experience for the customer than Steam. Apart from the awful interface and lack of features compared to Steam the biggest and most hilarous problem is pricing.
Developers pay less platform fees on Epic, so what are they doing with the money? They just charge the same price as on Steam and pocket the difference. Why the fuck should a customer care about other platforms then?

>The trick is to provide a top of the industry experience and sell products often at record low prices so people will spend money on your platform.
Gee what a master manipulation! If only everyone made an attempt to provide good service.

>>714941825 (OP)
I rarely buy a game that costs more than a few beers at the bar so it's a lot of "Who gives a shit." I think the last time I bought a brand new game was Shredder's Revenge and I beat it so fast I was still able to return it under the 2 hour mark.

>>714941867
"steamies" sounds more endearing then derogatory so I'm not sure why they keep spamming it

>>714944594
EGS has no chat

I actually just buy games one at a time once they’re in discount and after reviewing them carefully and thinking critically about whether I’d actually enjoy them.

>>714944996
neither you or me uses steam chat when Discord exists and permeates everything. Stop being a disingenuous faggot.

>>714944594
Most Fortnite kids are buying their games exclusively through EGS, the only people still buying from Steam are boomers, everyone else has moved on to the better storefront. Epic Games has effectively captured the gen alpha and most of the zoomer demographics. Steam will die out as the people who use it get older while Epic will become the dominant storefront in the coming years. It’s over for steamies, kek

>>714944996
>>714945114
Also Steam is so popular I use it to coordinate before me and a bud play games on Epic. They should probably have a chat system at this point but I assume you could friend eachother in Fortnite and then chat in the game.

Steam was useful when discord didnt exist and the only way to post pictures was through imgur.
If anything such outdated chatting features are only useful on PlayStation where you can't access third chats conveniently instantly

>>714942152
Most people don't play even half of their libraries for several reasons: either you buy a bundle and only wanted 1 or 2 of the games (but the bundle was cheap enough for it to be worth it), or you bought a game but your life gets busy and have no time for the game, or buy a game on sale "to play later" and lose interest, or you buy a game you know is going to be delisted from steam "just in case I want to play it later on", you might buy a game that you already played on a different platform just to support the devs, etc.

I have a bit more than 1000 games on steam but have only played a bit less than 600 of those. Most of the non played ones are one of the cases above, mostly the bundle case.

I play every game I buy.
They're counting those Humble Bundles where people used to pay 99 cents for a AAA game and also got a mountain of shovelware indie garbage. Yeah nobody plays Indie shovelware garbage or buys it on its own, as Tim Sweeny has found when he tried to moneyhat Indie Kickstarter devs only to find out no one buys their games. lmao that's the reason they tried to crowdfund funding their shovelware shit, no publisher would foot the bill.

>>714945761
>he tried to moneyhat Indie Kickstarter devs

Remedy is an indie kickstarter dev?

I buy games on sale that i will play in the future. Games that i buy outright, i always play. Games in bundles, i only maybe get to. For that reason I've only played about 30 percent of my steam library, but that's because there is a load of slop from bundles that were giving me deal on games that i want as long as i got a bunch of shitty games with it.

The purpose of a library is to provide optionality. If you have consumed every single thing in it then it's best case a nice monument to your erudition worst case a pile of junk -- either case mostly useless.

You waste money on shit you'll never play and justify it in your mind in a fanciful and faggy "Oooooh, one day!"

We. Are not. The Same.

>>714942323
I pirate games first sinking a few hundred hours, then I buy them legit when they're 50 or 80% off to support the developers if I feel like the game was worthy of my time.

>>714946540
>Rentcuck trying to justify getting jewed on and not owning anything
KEK

>>714943256
>You have nothing

You can sync your Steam to your GoG so you own all your games in 2 places, then you use GoG's DRM-free .iso backup feature so you can have offline backups too.
Also under Federal law you always own the license to your games, so even if you lose access you get the legal right to pirate it back.

>>714941825 (OP)
I will buy cheap games I might play later because it's easier than trying to find a not 0 seed torrent. If I don't play them oh well, it was the same as the cost of a drink at a coffee shop.

>>714946629
>cost of a drink at a coffee shop.

Stop eating avocado toast

>>714946540
Renting games cost way more than buying cheap games on a steam sale and I get to keep them longer than a week without paying extra.

>>714946670
Reminder /v/ will literally piss and shit their pants over MMORPG subscriptions that cost the price of 1 beer at the local bar, not knowing you'll be getting 1k hours a month of entertainment from it.

Life is genuinely better if you spend more time at places that have more attractive women with higher income and less daddy issues. It also means you are getting paid a lot. Try it out sometimes.

>>714942152
You buy a game you want to play, never get around to playing it because you have so many other games you wanted to play as well, so you're essentially just giving Valve free money.

System shock remake is the only game I bought two years ago that I still didn't play yet. Any second now

>>714942152
If it's cheap and I might play it I will buy it. Then sometimes I don't play it. This has never once effected my financial outlook at all so who cares.

>>714946696
That's literally not true. On a 7 day rental, you could probably beat most SNES games in that time. Only with JRPGs did you really need to rent a game for longer than that, and you'd still only spend $10 after two weeks.

>>714942578
No matter what retards tell you saving 4 bucks here and there has almost no effect on your financial future and almost all your money comes from before tax retirement savings anyway.

>>714946846
Are you dumb? As a kid, it was never about "beating" a game. I would turn on and play Sonic the Hedgehog 2 all the time. I beat the game over 100 times. I even got a cheat code book that unlocked debug mode and let me basically make my own levels and challenges while also getting super sonic for free. How would that be possible from renting the game?

Renting games was always worse than owning them because as a kid you did not have a lot of video games and played the good ones way more than once. The most exciting thing about renting games was getting to try certain games simply because you couldn't afford them. If I can afford them, why the fuck would I want to rent them?

Valve takes me back to my PS1 and PS2 days, yeah.
I bet Switchbros can also get the same feel.

Sony and Xbros get the shaft as always.

>>714947019
I know what you're talking about. I remember just spending days with Super Mario World and completing each save file with different challenge ideas just because I could.

>>714941825 (OP)
Damn I guess I will have to buy ninty products at 80$ each time and then 100$ each game when the Switch 3 comes out just to play the same platformers and chinese zoo rpgees with no innovation or real graphical upgrades. You almost had me at your 5$ sales Steam, fuck you.

Those are not the only two games on steam. I don't know why you would even pay money for Beyond Two Souls under any circumstances.

>>714947532

No wonder why you don't get that you literally waste money on games when you don't understand why people play different games than you.

(Or you can just admit the average Steamie like you has shit taste and I'll take that W, it's tails I win, heads you lose)

>>714941825 (OP)

>>714942152
They sell lots of games for cheap in limited batches, the summer games sales, and you have limited time each day to play games. It's not hard to understand the backlog phenomenon they are talking about.

>>714944518
Just look at the OP pasta. The person coming up with that clearly isn't very smart.
Doesn't seem that surprising, considering.

>>714941980
>I have so many games I haven't even installed
yup, just got like 20 games from the wishlist this summer sale.
why? im 32, I have no time to actually play the games and when I do have time I have like 1 or 2 games im playing with only 2-3 hours to play them. Of course im NEVER going to get around to these games.
Meanwhile indies ive loved playing are getting updates or 1.0 releases by the week. I could never buy a game again and always have something to play

but yet, here I go, buying up every game I think I would like to play "later"

>>714947476

steam chat simply just works, doesnt require a 3rd party program to be open, never had an issue, and utilises the same page youd send links with, which are click and play unlike discord.
The only reason people use discord is because thats the one they always used before steam chat was good / a thing.

>>714941825 (OP)
Guilty of this too, roughly half my catalogue are games I bought for <$5 on hyper discount that I *might* play one day, but never end up actually getting around to as I go back to playing the same 5~10 old games I always play whenever I run out of new stuff. I'm far more likely to start up a new game of Stellaris or Dwarf Fortress than I am to actually play Brigador or Blasphemous, but those games were <$5 and I still *might* play them one day.

I have a lot of bundled games and stuff I buy from third party keyshops. maybe if movies were allowed to be bought and kept in our collections for a few bucks, netflix wouldnt be such a shitty deal

he's right, when I struggled with depression I would literally buy things to try and fill that empty void

now that I got help I only buy games if they are

>>714942821
I am the evidence. I bought several games (~ 30) during last year christmas and played like 5 of them. i stopped doing it though. now i just download it from steamrip and let it sit in on external drive.

I sure am glad I didn't buy those steam games. That was truly the critical factor to my financial success and well being.

>>714949668

Steam has become the facebook of vidya, it's less about playing the games at this point and more about the gaymer identity and social experience, notice how these fags go into a meltdown whenever a game releases on PC but not steam, apparently they really need forums and good gaymer badges and whatever other junk steam uses in order to "enjoy" their video games

And I believe it. Every time there is a sale there is a thread on this board people hyping up garbage and buying shit that they will never play at teh same time they claim to be burned out of gaming or that no games are good anymore but hey still keep buying. It makes no sense but that is just how gamers are. The most demented and irrational hyperconsumers.

These basic narrative format games aren't fitting for post-40 adults to play. It's absurd. You should pivot that time to literature, but you're too brainfried. Literally any other format of gayming you could make a case for, but not basic point and click adventures when you're in your 40s you retarded peter pan.

I kind of had this mindset until I got a kid.
My game collection is so huge, my son legit has shit to play from 4 to 30 and what if I keep buying games? Its enough to fill my life time.
I thinks its like your grandpa's jazz records. Legendary to him, shit to you.
My kid is not going to care, so when he's around the age too "really get" games, he's going to play games from his time.

If he loves games enough to want to look to the past, I will be his guide in what shit he should play, but I'm not fooling myself into thinking he would care.

>>714941825 (OP)
No they just don't have access to the entire data set. Yes this is part of it but I as a consumer have bought tons of games I never touched on steam on sale.
Why? Because I played them pirated ages ago.
I have about 50 Visual Novels in my library on Steam and I never touched a single one. Why? Because I'm giving money to the developers and collecting at the same time. I don't need to replay old Visual novels I played as a Teen.
I will however buy it on Steam and I will buy some small trinket in Japan.

I don't really care about playing To Heart. But as soon as it went on sale I bought it. Aquaplus deserves the money. Unlike western companies it's still the same people working there after 25 years.


I played every single Age of Empires and C&C game like a madman when I was a kid, I don't need to play them again except for skirmish here and there yet I own them all on Steam.

Honestly the biggest problem I have as a consumer is the fact that I can't reward the people that made my youth better, the developers of the old games.

Every single Western Studio is a Corposlop Ship of Theseum only there in name as a Corpo Licence holder.

At least with Japanese studios I know that I'm giving money to the same people.

I'd say 90-95% of my Steam library is games I haven't even installed a single time. I'm definitely an outlier, but I don't possess the compulsion to play most video games. I envy gamers because I've always wanted to play games and never could due to my my upbringing, but now even though I have free time and money to afford games I find it's more of a chore to actually sit down and play.

Remove Epic from the conversation -- bam non factor

You idiots are still wasting a fuck ton of money over NOTHING

So, from my understanding, Steam does its job so well when it comes to platform services and prices, that people end up buying more games that they need to. In any case, that doesnt really sounds like a problem. I'd rather have more games available, than none at all. I mostly care about having a variety; I dont see my backlog as something that needs to be completed 100%.
Anyways, I bought Age of Empires but I ended up refunding it because I find its gameplay tedious (Im a BW and C&C guy) so I have 11 euros to spend in my steam wallet. Give me some good recommendations. Action games,fps,rts, are my taste

>>714957291

>>714941825 (OP)
I think there's another angle to see here. I have bought games that I didn't play but usually I got those back in the bundle days or, now that I have more money, because I want to support game genres and devs I want to see more of. This last steam sale I bought 7 games and have only played 2 so far due to working and not having the time to blast through them, but every single one of the games I bought are from devs that I actually wanted to give money too anyways, so I'm fine with some titles gathering dust in my backlog for a while because at least the devs I know make good stuff got their money and will be able to keep working for a while longer.

look at how /v/alveniggers defend themselves being slaves, this is so pathetic, id kill myself if i was consumerist cattle moron

No matter how many times people explain it this concept is completely alien to me
The only reason I'd ever buy (or pirate) a game is obviously because I want to play it now
Not at some nebulous point in the future, now
>But think of the money you could save on sales
Think of the money people waste on games they never play
Or the money they lost because they prematurely bought a game on sale only for it to get an even bigger discount later, all while not playing the fucking game
Sales anxiety or whatever it's called is retarded, your brain is getting tricked, you can just buy the fucking game whenever it is you actually want to play it

>>714960126
They unironically think they're winning somehow though (who are you competing with again, steamies?) which is the deranged part.

>>714941825 (OP)
>500 games
>25% of them never opened
Yup.

I am part of this statistic, for me there are 2 reasons:
- I am from a poorfag family and I grew up playing mostly games my older brother pirated. When I finally had disposable income of my own in my early 20s I mostly bought games I had already played previously, since they were dirt cheap old-ass games and I KNEW I liked them. Having convienient access over fucking around with ISOs was something I was happy to pay for. For this reason my Steam profile is littered with games which seemingly have 0 hours of playtime, since I already played them for 100s of hours before.
- As it turns out, the amount of free time one has is inversely proportional to the disposable income. Once my studies were over I entered employment, got married and had 2 kids. I WISH I had the time to play the (actually) unplayed games in my library, but I'm lucky to get 1 hour of personal time a day and I still end up squandering that on /v/

>>714960590
>What now fucker
You wasted 5 euros on a game you are not playing
I mean, you don't even realize how absurd your post sounds. You claim you wanted to play the game for a long time yet you are only buying it now in 20 fucking 25 because someone slapped a sale sticker on it. And even now you are using another absurd excuse to not play it
Your brain is defective nigga

>>714941825 (OP)
this was me, but I've recently stopped buying games when I realized my backlog was massive and I wasn't even playing 10% of it, now I only buy new games when I know I'll play them as soon as I buy them, otherwise I can wait until the next sale.
Also too many fucking sales.

Friendly reminder Epic shills are literal Indians.

>>714961181
Well when you're built like this, they're basically women.

>>714941825 (OP)
This is stupid as fuck
Yeah, people buy games they're not gonna buy
The caveat this clown sidesteps is: they do it on massive discounts
It is no different than buying extra food or in bulk when they have an incredibly low price. Are you going to eat it all this week? Well no, but if you buy it now you save money in the long run.
That is why peoples backlogs are large, because they think "yo that's the cheapest this has ever been, I want to play it some day so I'll buy it now to ensure I get a good deal"
Can it potentially be cheaper if they wait? Sure. But it can also not be, that's a gamble. Just look at steam right now, the sales they put on in recent years are not even their historic lows, and if it's not equivalent to the historic low I'm not buying it. Who would buy from the kind of extreme jewishness that has sold a thing to everyone for 2 bucks but is now trying to charge you 5 for it? Now you're left sitting waiting for it to go on sale for the correct price if you want to play it now.
I can count on one hand probably games I've bought at full price.
Also bundle value means that when buying a bundle for 1-2 games, you end up getting 6+ other games you have no interest in but still count as a sale.

>>714960834
You are the one who's mentally challenged. Not only you deliberately ingnored the
> do play or played the games I buy
but you keep insisting on patronizing anons with your gay thinking. I didnt have enough money to buy lost planet when I had a 360, and then my 360 got rrod and died, so I forgot about this game.
I will play it because its the only winter themed game in my steam library, and I like playing winter themed games in winter.

>>714941825 (OP)
As opposed to people who collect physical games, pay way more, have to store and maintain them, and STILL don't play them.

What's your point?

>>714943768
This is because Steam engages in anti-competitive price fixing and doesn't allow developers to sell their game for less on EGS. You're paying more for video games to subsidize Gabe's 12th mega yacht and new zealand fallout shelter.

>It's not an "incredible value" if you never even touch it.

See what happens when you only buy what you play immediately is that whenever you get bored, you have to buy a game you have the itch for and feel like playing. And you are beholden to whatever the price is at that time. The backlog chad spends no money in this situation, they just peruse their library and find something that appeals to them in that particular moment and play it.

>>714960181

For whatever the price is at that time. The result is you buy 100x more games with no discount because of this way of thinking.
Why do you think games are any different to any other medium? do you think people only buy books they want to read immediately? That they never buy a 7 book series at once because they only need to buy the first one as they can only read one at a time?
What about when the game is discontinued and no longer purchasable? If you want to play the last remnant on steam right now you're shit out of luck buddy. But I am not, I can boot it up

Can't speak for others but when I'm playing something and I feel it's reaching the end, I look for other games on sale and pick one or two if they look interesting enough and then start either one of them after I finish first game. The only time I have a game burried in my library was with that Sea of Thieves friendslop game because I was tricked by friends to play it and now that they stopped playing it I'm just stuck with it with no refund available...

And? Thats my own pocket money. I spend them as I please. I dont need peasants like you, to tell me what to do. It was either a good deal on steam, or a cup of coffee. I picked the good deal. I might get that cup of coffee later though.
Please dont tell me that you are so poor, you you consider pocket money to be a huge financial move.
Sucks to be a total poorfag, I guess. It makes people deranged, entitled and ugly. Im sorry for your life, anon-kun.

>>714963123
Nobody is buying games they never intend on playing. We are buying games that look interesting on sale for pennies and then either lose interest later or prioritize other games instead. You act like "steamies" are intentionally buying $60 AAA titles they have no interest in and don't intend to play in droves because they just love being financially irresponsible. Never getting around to playing a game you paid $4 for is not a big deal.

steamfags are the biggest brand loyalists and the biggest retards because they fell for this idea of inflated perceived value. they spent money on thin air. just an entry on a library representing a rented license that can be taken any time.

my approach to gaming is the exact same as it was with the NES. I buy only what i play and i own my games. on PC i have played (pirated) hundreds of games and i have never ever ever spent a single cent outside of multiplayer stuff.

Why not just buy the games you're gonna play until next sale?

No idea and I have no soul myself (no one has one).

Either way I think they are zoomers who literally got indoctrinated by shills and corporate influences to throw away their money.
The most frightening thing? This is all them. They have no identity their pastors (influencers) indoctrinated them from childhood that throwing all your money into nonsense like this makes you worth something if they can not spend money they literally have nothing to fall back on.

It is truly better to be dead then a zoomer.
I have to applaud how diabolical GabeN is. Other things require you to actually give a product or spend money to get the consumer to buy.

Like even the bigest funko pop shit is plastic the manufacturer needed to make and ship and that you can sell.

If you do this... You get almost nothing a entry in the steam database saying you """"own this game''''' who you can never resell and will never play.....

Finally, a rational post. Its true. That hoarding mentality is damaging. However, the biggest hoarders are pirates. People are literally downloading entire console libraries and play nothing. At least steam fags will probably touch some of their games since they paid money for them.

Try buying it and tell me how it looks.

This is the problem with steam if you did this game coelcting on GOG games you would OWN the installers forever. Steam is happy to sell you trash full of DRM and the game getting killed.

I think the Carmageddon TDR on steam is basically a bricked impossible to play, I think it only works on windows XP max and steam can not be installed on XP in 2025.

Meanwhile Carmageddon TDR on GOG works (!!!!) because they patched it and you can use the installer on whatever you want since there is no steam DRM and you can use them on XP or win 98 etc.

Steam has always manipulated you into buying shit you don't need.

Remember back in the day when steam had flash sales during sales event. Better make sure you keep checking steam so that you don't miss a deal.

You better ENGAGE WITH THE STOREFRONT HABITUALLY
Since we are not going to announce what's on sale, you'll need to regularly check or you might miss out on a deep discount for a game you want. Aren't you AFRAID OF MISSING OUT?
Also you better buy the other things that go on flash sale. All your friends might start playing it and YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT and be the only sucker who payed full price.
By the way, no refunds until the EU literally forced us to implement them (and whoops our sales tactic vanished after that)

>>714966485
>Apply for a refund
Is there not like a 30 day limit on this? Or something?

> if you're not a shitter
I am not however steam refused me a refund for a game that I played for 2h and 0.001 minutes.

Also the ubisoft installer wanting me to make an account and literally failing for 5 times and doing nothing also counted in steam as me playing the game. NO REFUNDS!

>>714968707
>Is there not like a 30 day limit on this? Or something?
Under most circumstances, but if the game stops working for any reason, like shutdown, or just plain doesn't work out of the box, they'll refund it. It's mostly an automated process, but people do come in and review the request, so it probably depends on who you get and what you put in the reasons box.

>I am not however steam refused me a refund for a game that I played for 2h and 0.001 minutes.
A lot of people abuse the refund policy by playing a game for just under two hours and then refunding it.
>Also the ubisoft installer wanting me to make an account and literally failing for 5 times and doing nothing also counted in steam as me playing the game.
I would have put this under the 'other' reason and listed out the problem. I've had that issue before and managed a refund out of it because Ubisoft is such fucking bullshit I swear to god.

>>714968342
>seems it doesn't work now for some reason
Thanks. I was having my suspicion that it got bricked in recent time.

I was having errors throw at me like this all the time.
The reason I do not like steam is because of this shit.

PS: Try the GOG version of this game I can give you a pirated link.

See why people like GOG and hate steam?
PS2: EGS can go burn to death.

>>714942272
>EPIC IS BAD BECAUSE....IT JUST IS, OKAY?

Epic is peakino.
Steam is cringeslop

>>714968668
>You better ENGAGE WITH THE STOREFRONT HABITUALLY
but only retards do that
i'm interested in a game?
i check price story and allkeyshop
then decide

consumer pigs ready for slaughter. impulse driven morons.

>>714969043
Epic is bad because it's barebones on even basic user features that would take barely any effort to add and would increase the storefront's attractiveness. They don't even have to do the R&D on what would work and what wouldn't themselves, Valve already cleared the path on that with Steam, they literally just have to copy their homework.

What's wrong with buying a dozen games for five bucks a piece on sale and then only playing some of them?

On my old 200-game account I played every game I bought. I didn't play many games that I got for free or that just didn't run on my PC. On my current account, I also play every game I buy, with 60 games. Now I'm thinking of upgrading. My friend, who's a bit younger than me, is like that, a compulsive buyer who goes by “recommendations” rather than personal taste. He spends most of his time on LOL

>>714968807
>and refund them every sale
I never did this.

I like refunded 3 games in my life and have over 40 on steam.
Steam simply counts the game time to the nano second even if the window is closed.

>Maybe you shouldn't
STEAMIES everyone! This is why people hate you. You are corporate dick suckers!

>>714968668
>By the way, no refunds until the EU literally forced us to implement them (and whoops our sales tactic vanished after that)
Never forget! Steam is shit!

>>714969043
epic is a soulless cashgrab

>>714969013
i can understand for old games honestly
also in 2020 i was using a i5 (when i played it)
dunno if its related to being bricked or not
dont really need the pirate version for now so i'll worry when i want to replay it
its not like i didn't burned TDR at release before high school

>>714969261
>>714969198
epic gives out games for free
steam doesn't

Not my problem, I only pirate and Play games that were made before Steam existed anyways.

>>714942152
>Is it a compulsion to buy stuff on sales and you say 'i will play it later' but dont?
More of an addiction, but yes

>>714969306
>steam doesn't
Yes, they do.

>>714969238
>Steam simply counts the game time to the nano second
Wrong, that is just for automatic refunds. If you're over 2 hours, someone looks at the refund request instead of it being automatic. You are lying about abusing the system

>>714968963
>the 'other' reason
I tried something like that did not work.
Played for over 2h boom. Get fucked!

>Ubisoft is such fucking bullshit
And from that day on I refused to buy anything ubisoft.

>Ubisoft is such fucking bullshit
And steam does nothing to protect you from it. Unlike GOG!

>>714969327
but i do play them later

>>714941867
NICO NICO NII

>>714949237
lol, lmao, me and my brother have been using a single Steam account since Steam's inception. One of us just stays in offline mode.

>>714969368
> If you're over 2 hours, someone looks at the refund request instead of it being automatic.
that didn't happen to me with battlefield 2042
>game worked on a free weekend. play 20 hours
>buy it a few weeks ago on sale
>auto-refund denied because 20 hours (i couldn't even run the game anymore)

>>714969306
years ago he bought entire games to be exclusive
now the best he can do is charge the developers and publishers nothing
the money is drying up, the store is bleeding tens of millions a year and timmy is desperate

>>714969368
>Wrong
It says 2h in steam and it refused because over 2h. Go lie somewhere else.

I swear they count the nano seconds of play time even if the game is closed and you are at the desktop!

isn't GoG better because you can download their offline installers and actually OWN the game you bought?
>You will own a videogame and you will be unhappy

>>714942152
>Have any of you guys bought games and just never played them? Is it a compulsion to buy stuff on sales and you say 'i will play it later' but dont?
There are games in my backlog that've been there for several years untouched, but I wouldn't say I'm typical because I always get around to things eventually, even if it takes me several years. I don't understand the impatience of some people, you have fucking decades and decades to live.

>>714969491
>It says 2h in steam
For automatic refunds. You have never used the refund system in your life
Keep concern trolling

>>714945126
Dont let this anon know that thanks to Microjeet incompetence, the age of the penguin is dawning fast, and Timmy boy will have to either ape proton and make a shittier version of it, or make EGS and Fortnite linux compatible to keep his game store running. Other than the unreal slop 5 engine, Timmy has nothing else going on.

>>714969514
>isn't GoG better because you can download their offline installers and actually OWN the game you bought?
YES.

Funny how these threads now literally are payed steam shills fighting payed EGS shills.

WTF happened to /v/ ?

If you cannot show me a list of all of the games you've finished this year then I don't care what you think about the concept of a backlog

>>714969569
>WTF happened to /v/ ?
i guess it's mostly infected by pajeets shilling one thing while attacking another...

>>714969598
can't post a list because i'm on phone (phoneposter yes I claim that L) but how about this?

>>714969514
offline installers are completely irrelevant
if you give a shit about that you can go and crack your steam copy and pack it into an archive for the same result

>>714969514
In terms of ownership and preservation, yes. In terms of user experience, no.
I buy from both steam and gog, and I want gog to keep existing as a store. Egs and the rest bullshit stores can shut down for all l care.

>>714969598
I don't have it in a nice easy steam list
Celeste
Clair Obscur
Lies of P (second playthrough + DLC)
Project Wingman
Armored Core 6 (second playthrough to 100% it)
Monster Sanctuary
King's Bounty: The Legend
Evil West
The Saboteur
Sifu
Mafia remake
Maneater
Ryse
Uncharted 4
Gorogoa
Kangdom Come 2

>>714968668
>Since we are not going to announce what's on sale,
I get an email when something on my wish list goes on sale though

>>714944594
EGS is slower than steam despite having less features

>>714969864
Solid! Gorogoa is a really unique experience, and I loved Nine Sols and Clair Obscur

>>714969868
How is Mirror of Fate?

>>714941825 (OP)
Valve used this to kill gamepass before it was even born, i didn't think I could love valve any more than I do.

>>714965617

Damn I need to get around to beating Steelrising

quality over quantity
EGS's features are peak
Steam's features are slop

Lots of broke niggers in this thread seething that other people can afford to throw pennies at stuff they'll get around to later. Smells brown.

>>714970031
>How is Mirror of Fate?
if you like castlevania. go for it. there isn't much bullshit . dont expect a big game anyway feels like a dlc

>>714970072
fuck you nigger i hate opening EGS whenever i boot unreal

I used to have pirated copies of games. I finished all of them.
I lost these copies in a fire.
During COVID lockdown friend got me into trying GOG because there was a bundle with all these crpg I lost. I bought it so we could play together.
I still have them, saved them on cloud and on disk, burned them into CDs too for old time's sake but haven't played them since then.
Is that a bad thing?
Games:
>Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Planescape Torment, Icewind Dale 1 & 2 and Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2

>>714970054
bosses are easier than trash, remember that

>>714969514
maybe 1% of steam users would use offline installers if that was an option and it's not like anyone who considers it a dealbreaker wants to use them anyway

>>714941825 (OP)
i just need to quit my job and dedicate all my time to clearing my backlog

I have 80 games on Steam currently. In a few years I'll have about 120 or so, I'd imagine. Those are realistic numbers imo.

I try to buy games that I think will have a lot of replayability, and I keep a rotation of like 10 or so games that I really want to grind to high hours played, before shifting some out for newer ones & so on.

>>714970190
Many such cases in Soulslikes
>field enemies: dude just put like 10 of them here in a tiny alley and they're all as hard as minibosses
>bosses: dude just put one guy you can easily dodge in this wide open arena

>>714970307
If it works for you, that's great. Personally, 10 games at once would be way too many for me and I would inevitably drop most of them
Nowadays I only allow myself to play 2 games at once, and only put a new one in the rotation when I finish another one

>>714970318
dont remember many gankquads. i hate gankquads in bosses but in trash its fine for me

>>714941825 (OP)
80% of steam are third worlders now, it's over

of course 80% of the world is third wolders

>>714970634
yes i'm spanish so fucking what?

>>714970430
Not a third worlder but I also don't see the point in putting too much of my money into games. I enjoy vidya, but the whole retail therapy cope that I see with anon casually humble bragging about game library numbers seems normie coded to me.

>>714970634

>CK2 all dlc
>Factorio
>couple Illwinter games
>Dwarf Fortress
This is like 20% of all the games I'd ever realistically need on a steam account and I'd be totally fine with that. You don't need a lot of games. We always go back to the few we like best anyway - whatever genre they might be.

>>714941825 (OP)
Steamies buy too much on summer sales

>>714971028
Sure I may have a few hundreds of hours on CK2, but I also play dozens of one-and-done games a year

>>714971028
>We always go back to the few we like best anyway
no
