how did he do it? the only time he partially failed was when he tried to normalize paid mods but even then he's already been completely forgiven in the public eye

Why are you people so determined to expand the definition of friendslop

>>717511253 (OP)
SAAAAAR SO TRUE! BLEESS

Steam DRM is good because its easily removable. All games utilizing Steam DRM are basically preserved for all eternity. As Gabe said, piracy is a service issue, and people simply prefer the services on steam over pirating games. Valve also has the only proper competitive FPS, Counterstrike, arguably the only competitive game that's not a completely dead joke right now. I also think it's good that valve encourages people to play together and has created a platform that easily enables that, even if I don't have time for that these days.

Piracy is bigger than ever you retard

>old multiplayer games are "friendslop"
Kill all summer tourists

>>717512227
how can a game be a proper competitive game when it's filled with normalfags that can't play for shit? quake live is a much better option unless you just wanna play casually which is the opposite of competitive

>>717512227
counter strike is only popular because it has gambling for kids in it though, its not a bad game, but it's a bad competitive game with its rng

Post 5 seconds of you playing Quake Live

Valve 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 does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

> Waaaaah why won't anyone play my shittt MtG/Gwent clone when it's been shown repeatedly that without external industry support it will die within months.

Are you actually retarded?

Artifact is not shit. It is excellent. Artifact’s expansions on Dota 2’s setting and lore were amazing. Peak soul. There were times I actually felt like I was commanding the epic fantasy battlefield the cards depicted. I’d never had that feeling from a card game before, not even Magic.

When I looked at the menu, saw Jolixia’s caravan in the distance at night while the music took me, for a fleeting moment it felt like I was home.

You sound like an infant. No wonder steam figured it wasn't worth the market cost.

You aren't going to trick me into hating valve you retard. I dislike things for actual reasons and not because some retard on a Polynesian home renovation forum told me they're actually the same as [bad thing] because of semantics.

You criticized the only company that can't be forced into lockstep with the rest of the industry on a dime thanks to the will of the shareholders, rabbi.

They buckle to random activist groups instead.

steam drones have the memory of a gold fish
