Timmy being terminally online

They have to stay busy not playing their 500 game library.

>Live service slop
So Deadlock?

>>714944780
And Counter-Strike. And DotA 2.

investing into linux gaming alone makes valve infinitely based

>>714945482
Not enough to make me not hate them after what they did to TF2 & CSGO and Artifact

>>714945482
>Moved SteamOS from debian-based to arch-based

>>714944780
>>714945345
Not Live Service.

Valve
>Buys mod developers off, rereleases their mod as a stand alone with lootboxes and a cash shop
>Famous for making a fps with terrible gunplay and a focus on a dogshit narrative
>Forces the installation of bloated online DRM to play games
They're just as bad as microsoft, maybe even worse.

>>714944384 (OP)
It's very simple. Valve has done a lot of harm to gamers, like when they screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and do not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

>>714945482
>its actually good thing that this multi gajilionere BRAND is investing in an operating system where the main selling point is freedom, which is why we should base the ability to play video games on a propriety software owned by the said BRAND so in reality we're more depended on corporations than compared to Windows

genuinely kill yourself valve shill, they should stay the fuck away from linux

>>714948974
lmfao

did you know? valve invented digital distribution and lootboxes
neither of these things would exist if valve didn't invent them

>>714945635
Which is based. Debian stable has like 10 year old packages.

>>714944384 (OP)
This is the second thread seething about Steam. Is there a raid happening or some eceleb said shit?
>>714941825

>>714944384 (OP)
the only time valve is brought up is when console faggots or egs losers try to shit on it and say something along the lines of "yeah, maybe our storefront is bad and anti-consumer, but look, steam isn't perfect too" and they bring up some artifact pasta or whatever. On dedicated valve threads everyone shits on valve, see any deadlock thread.

>giving money to valve
>"these gamers are irresponsible with money..."
>company that's not valve makes their games cost 80€ plus pre-order plus DLC plus tax plus tip
>"AND THAT'S A GOOD THING"

>>714944384 (OP)
because it's in documented court records in epic vs apple that epic pays shills to shit on valve

>>714944384 (OP)
Never heard of this.

>>714944384 (OP)
Maybe it's because Epic Games actually provides value to the customers instead of the slop store that Steam has become.

>>714951160
He's mad that the first thread didn't go to plan

most organic and non-indian thread on /v/ right now

>>714944384 (OP)
Because it's always you console faggots who make war against steam. Why is it always you faggot doing this? Go play games instead of shitposting all day long.

>>714945725
Here's a (You) for your effort

>>714945828
Post your speccy result.

>>714957462
It seems like there's a fucking invasion today. I don't think I've ever seen this many obvious Indian users here.

>>714957510
Steamoids ARE console faggots. They are married to a single corporation's online service, play on their exclusive hardware and wage tribal internet wars on other console tribes.

>>714950859
Yeh also valve invented every bad thing in the world. Retards like OP are the reason why people defend valve. Valve suck shit, but they're still better than epic, nintendo, MS or sony.

>>714957601
Post speccy along with your face and ID to prove you're a real pc gamer.

>NOOOOOOOOO YOU NEED TO LET US BUG-MEN SOLDIERS OF TENCENT SPREAD MISINFORMATION ABOUT OUR COMPETITORS

>>714957776
Even tencent release their games on steam. It's just Timmy the pedo who's mad that people shit on his ugly face.

>>714957832
But Timmy isn't fat and disgusting and he's also richer than that inhuman lardass Gabe Newell.

>Urpoors wake up
>Cult-like behavour starts, demanding gamers pose their ID to prove they're real gamers, starts talking about Epic for no reason

>>714944384 (OP)
son, have you found a job yet?

>>714957887
Thanks for confirming that you're a console cuck.

>>714957890
The omniscient ID verification is a European cultural tradition I suppose.

>>714957939
I haven't owned a console since the N64 faggot.

>immediately an army of asshurt drones bring up Epic Games Store or Sony and/or their live service slop failure
A bunch of spammer spent several years trying to shill epic games store and caused a Pavlovian response.

I'm glad I rescued this thread from page 10.

Funny how the OP didn't mention the foulest, most subhuman trannoids in the board (tebdieslaves)

>>714958274
Are the trannoids in the room with us right now

>>714957563
>speccy
Look who's retarded himself. Please drink bleach.

>>714944384 (OP)
Valve would very likely be considered a shitty company in some aspects but the other companies are so much worse that Valve is basically a hero of vidya in comparison.

>>714944684
The point this headline is missing is that those games are bought on 80 - 90% discounts, or as filler in bundles that the customers buy because of other games in that bundle.
Nobody's paying 80 bucks for a game he won't play, but it's easy to drop 3 bucks for something that looks like it could be interesting after you're finished with whatever you're playing right now and then forget you ever bought it.

>>714945635
Yep, that's based.

>>714944384 (OP)
For some reason, people tie themselves to corporations, services and entertainment in tribal fashion, viciously attacking anyone who criticizes their preference. It's almost like they have little of meaning in their lives.

You people have have problems

>>714944384 (OP)
Because Valve only ever gets mentioned in context of pure bullshit and lies

this site is swamped by Actual Indians and there is no going back

>>714944684
Litteraly 2nd post

>>714944384 (OP)
Yeah they're so silly. I mean we can talk about Epic store and not have people lose their shit right away, why can't we ever mention Steam? Today is the opposite day right guys

>>714945725
Wrong.

>>714944384 (OP)
Why do you make multiple threads a day seething about Valve?

>>714948974
Anon, you know that Valve investing in Linux is a rising tide that lifts all distros, right? You don't have to use SteamOS for it to make more game devs make sure their game is compatible with Linux.

vidya aside i can't hate the man for subsidizing chefsteps with almost 0 interest loans because of his kid and basically facilitating the creation of the joule immersion circulator
Heil gabe
