Steam isn't just a client that lets you download and play games, it has a whole community that's bigger than Facebook and X working through its guts every day
It's so big that stuff like Steam Guides and Steam Discussions completely destroyed other websites like GameFAQs and various small dedicated forums
Steam is where you go to discuss games, /v/ and Reddit and so on are where you go to bitch about other people who play games instead like a bunch of old women
Steam also has support for pretty much every game ready to go as well as a whole community ready to discuss PC related issues and other shit
And a marketplace meta thing
And constant fucking sales because they want you to want to play games not just build a wishlist
Steam is where it's fucking at
I'm tired of people shitting on Steam pretending they just rob devs of 30% of their earnings for nothing, Steam is a continent where gamers live, hosting your game there has the highest chance of people playing it
Go ahead and build your own little island with your one game on it, good luck making any sales at all, Steam isn't even going to stop you doing that nor will it care that you tried
It doesn't even care if you buy keys from third party reselling sites

Valve is only able to do this because it's a private corporation. Any company that tries to win by doing nothing with publicly traded stock will get bought out by investors who don't want to wait for their profit, and replace all the leadership with cronies who will sell the wire from out of the walls if it makes next quarter look better. Having any investment in a company that is selling shares of it's governance is a massive liability.

Was it? I thought they just got lucky more or less. I mean they coiuld have some stiff competition even today if Epic Games actually managed to put some basic features on their storefront instead of just giving out old games for free at a cost to their own business. Steam doesn't seem to have done much over the last 10+ years to improve on their formula but I imagine it's hard to make people switch over now.

>>724603523
You should sell your home and donate it to Gaben if you think he deserves so much money. I don't think it's human at all that some people have billions while some people starve.

Steam's business model depends on DRM and copyright entitlements from the government. It's as capitalist as the fire department, and would not function in a free market where anyone could host game downloads without having to keep their operation small enough to evade law enforcement.

It's baffling. Valve did nothing revolutionary. They simply built a functioning online shop with regular sales. That's it. That's their whole success story.
Yet even the smartest minds of this generation are unable to replicate it.
It's not that Gaben has an IQ of 200. It's that all his competitors are so retardedly evil that they constantly fail to suppress their hate and disdain for customers.

>>724603439

>nuh uh that will never happen bla bla
yes it can, you can win the lottery and become rich just like that, or you can one day decide to do your own business and it boom to the moon.
all you have to do is not being retarded with money AND know about taxes and laws so you don't give shit to the gov't and fuck around with the banks legaly

>>724604334
When you reach a billion some guy shows up in the middle of the night and whispers about how 80% of the ocean is unexplored.

>>724604137
So?

Gabe was right. Piracy is a service issue. That boat is his proof and his reward for pioneering methods of alleviating that issue. Every single game I have on steam I could easily have stolen. But the conveniences of steam made purchasing them worthwhile, and so more devs get supported and I have fun playing games and everyone wins. But make no mistake, commies: This isn't about Gaben; it's all about me getting what I want. So flashing a pic of Gaben doing rich asshole shit doesn't mean anything because I'm still getting what I want

No, it's not his labor. It's people who's labor he pays for. That's how employment works. You pay someone to do work for you at an agreed apon rate.
What exactly is the problem?

because he gave people the gift of installing their games with one click instead of pushing a disc into their computer. all they had to give up was not owning their games and being happy about it. pretty fair trade.

>>724604513
Calling you retarded counts as seething, ergo practically any post not explicitly agreeing with you is "seething"

Basically no one is mad at you for being a retard in the first place, they just find you irritating because you're trying to be a smug bitch about it, and so they rightly shit on you. Once again, nothing to do with Gabe

I'm with you to an extent. After a certain amount of wealth, it becomes too much for 1 man to hoard. After a limit of say 10 million, we should tax 100%, and put the money into stuff like healthcare and housing and feeding the needy.

Or, to prevent manipulation, I would set up a system where an employer's salary can never be more than 100 greater than their lowest paid employee. So if their lowest paid employee is making 10 dollars an hour, then the employer can only make 1,000 dollars an hour.

That might still sound like a lot. But it's actually way, way less than what they make currently.

Yes. But I would actually set up a system of grants that businesses have to apply for. So I can screen them, and make sure the money goes directly to them, and not to their shady government. I would make sure their cause aligns with the betterment of their respective communities.

It's like an Oreo. You don't have to change what already works. Most of what's been done in the last ten years by Valve is stuff like improving discovery, UI improvements, content moderation (allowing some NSFW titles), SteamVR, and Steam Deck/Linux gaming. The latter two have probably been taking up most of their time.

What the fuck does this mean? Are you an unironic shill?

Steam is by far the most cancerous vidya platform.

Epic Games: Only takes 10% of sales revenue, by far the best platform for the industry
Nintendo: Takes 30% of the revenue like Valve, but at least they deliver new games every month or so.
Microsoft: Takes 30% of the revenue like Valve, but at least they deliver new games every month or so.
Sony: Takes 30% of the revenue like Valve, but at least they deliver new games every year or so.

Valve: Takes 30% of the revenue and buys expensives yachts for its fat fuck creator. Zero new games except microtransaction infested slop and the promise of Half-Life 3 maybe this time for real guys honest.

people always say this and act as if buying a cd, or dvd of a game meant you had access to that game permanently

which is, of course, not true. realistically cds, blu-ray and dvds aren't going last more than 10-20 years unless you store and take care of them really well, and every time you play them you lessen that lifespan and risk scratches and shit.

there are definitely scenarios where digital downloads result in longer life-span than physical media copies.

for cartridges, i might agree that a physical copy can last almost a lifetime; those motherfuckers seem to last forever. but blu-ray and dvds age like milk.

If you don't like it go make another store in 2004 that revolutionizes digital distribution, if you don't have a time machine go make a store now and see how it goes, just remember to add a cart this time.

The sheer ease of use, reliability, and consumer friendliness of steam workshop and updates makes it infinitely better than any other game store and instantly justifies gaybens billionaire lifestyle.

Why are you fuckers so mad about gaben spending his money?
What would you niggers have him do instead?

>>724606238
How about not being corrupt and letting anti consumer anti trust anti competition jews get away with ruining everything for everyone?

>>724606067

>>724606229
correct.

anything which can be taken from you is something you never owned, only borrowed.

the only thing i truly own is my connection to nature, and to god.

>had basically infinite money
>spend it on irrelevant bullshit
>barely released any game or update their game to follow their standards
I still don't fucking get it, considering how many terminally ill wizards who would work on their game for free

>>724606238
Gabe would have still did it for less than what he earned.
The only thing that would have changed by taxing him harder, is we would have steam, and fewer struggling people in the world.

>>724603439
>How the fuck does that entitle him to billions and billions of dollars
It doesn't. People PAID HIM by choice, you fucking retard.

I'm too lazy to pirate. Even fucking /t/ is worthless now. I can't be bothered figuring out which repacks are safe or begging for private tracker access.

>>724606350
Where's the corruption and anticompetition you absolute imbecile? Nobody stopped Epic, EA, Rockstar, Ubisoft, Nintendo, Sony and Xbox from making their store, half of those went to shit, the other are propped by their consoles. GOG is doing fine, it's doing so well that they're buying rights and fixing PC ports. You're the only retard comunist cunt shitting yourself because Gabe is in a yatch while you're eating shit.

>entitled
He's not entitled to it, he's just the guy who got it by making a decent distribution service. It is not his fault that nobody else seems to be capable of competing.
>EGS tries to compete
They try to compete for developers, not customers. All other storefronts outright refuse to do anything remotely similar to what Steam does for both developers and customers in terms of features and conveniences. Equity brained people don't understand this at all, they don't even understand, or refuse to keep in mind, that the 30% cut is the industry norm, and of everyone charging 30%, only Steam reduces that cut the more successful a game is in sales.

>>724606516

People being too lazy to go to other storefronts isn't Steam's fault.

Not Steam's fault

They can, they just have to make the Steam version just as cheap. What's wrong with that?

Are you saying Valve is lying?

I didn't read the thread but today I learned that Amazon was trying for years to dethrone Steam with Prime gaming. lol. How funny is that? Did anyone even notice?

>>724606719
why would i wanna trade my games?

>>724606757
valve used to set prices back then
that's why you had so many good deals
valve did those sales to gather tons of people into their ecosystem
now that developers set it steam sales are garbage shit no one cares about

>>724606859
>>724606925
I just crack the games and share them with whoever asks, it's not hard. I used to do that with dvds and videos back in the day too

>>724606568
Why yes, I do want to hand every person free healthcare, and help people in need in other ways. Be it housing, or food or whatever else.

I'm not proposing communism. I'm only proposing that we modify the system we already have. Putting a hard cap on the wealth disparity, so money cycles back into the system. As it is now, all the money continues to flow up to the top, where it stagnates, and the cost of living goes up every year. But CEOs couldn't pay less than 0.01% of their current income, then it stops the disparity from growing entirely. While still giving them enough wealth to motivate them to work as they do.

Gabe would have done it all for less. So why did we allow him to take more?

You have to understand they don't know how to do that these days. Most gamers today have never so much as installed a game from CD.

He didn't "take"

>>724607015

>>724605240
generally speaking poor people deserve to be poor
very few poor families have the drive to get out of the economic bracket they're in. some do, and they do it without any handouts from the government, just by being hard workers
most poor people will just go back to being poor and will squander everything you give them
humans don't have a right to life or shelter or anything, it's natural selection that those who can't get what they need to survive can and should die off
you would be actively weakening humanity as a whole by continually propping up a group of people who by in large should be going extinct due to their own stupidity
all men are not created equal

>>724607303

>>724606707
>literal shill armies going no steam = no buy to harass developers
This doesn't matter.if your game is good and truly revolutionary and worth it, it'll sell even if it never gets put on steam.
A la Minecraft.

Otherwise, just like all the products in your grocery store, you pay the price of business and pay the fee to be put in the big box store.

You do realize all the products on the grocery store shelves pay a fee for the shelf space right?

>Make a store front that's more consumer friendly than anyone else who's tried it

Ok so the middle class grew to be the majority because humanity just became better people? Fucking retarded way of thinking.

>>724607072
You retarded leftists keep hiding behind the "I'M A GOOD PERSON I WANNA HELP PEOPLE" and then your solution is steal money from everyone to hand it out to people that may or may not be legitimately fucked over by life.
Do you listen to your retarded bullshit? You want "free" healthcare, housing and food, who the fuck is working the fields, building the house and doing the diagnostic and treatment, will they do that for free to feel better with themselves? The money has NEVER stagnated to the top, it keeps paying for workers, research and charity, and everyone gets taxed every step of the way.

You want a handout, accept you just want Bill Gates and Gabe and Tim and Zuckerberg to hand you a wad of cash and shut the fuck up. This is not how money works, this is not how the HUMAN MIND works, you need to be compensated for your efforts and some sob story about some starving retard on the street is not going to make me hand out all of my money. Everyone started somewhere, everyone got given a change by someone, there's plenty of tools in the current system to grow but you just need to NOT BE RETARDED.

>>724607364

You weren't a developer working with valve in the 2000s. How would you know?

>>724607524
Yeah bro developers just made 90% sales for no reason and lost money and made valve successful.
Do you listen to yourself?

Why do the anti-steam shills never acknowledge that companies pay a fee to have their products put on the shelves in grocery stores but they whine that it's too much for the poor developers who have no manufacturing or factory costs after the game releases.

Are they just retarded?

>>724607452
they are the majority because the average person who works hard will reach middle class, and the average human is like that. poor people are not the majority, they are a subset of humanity with a weak drive to work and survive. its why poor people spend any money you give them for free on expensive clothes and mods for their cars

>>724607456

where the average humans lands is dependent on the current state of society. standard of living right now is much better for the average person because our society can support it. that's not because humans changed personalities its just we don't live in archaic inefficient systems with no technology. in an old monarchy the average population would be the peasants, and the poors would still exist in the form of beggars its just back then they didn't give them handouts so they didn't survive very long. now we do and look where that gets us, homeless epidemics in every major city, millions on welfare and food stamps wasting it on trivial bullshit

I said I was going to put a cap on multi-millionaires, and redistribute their money. Only the richest of the rich would be taxed. You're crying about the people working in the fields as if I'm proposing to take their money. But no, I'm proposing to take the money of those in real power. Currently, the people in the fields are 0.000,001x more poor than your average CEO. And the CEO is 0.001x more poor than the billionaires. I'm suggesting a system that makes the field worker only 0.001x poorer than the richest people. Which, proportionally, greatly increases their buying power.

>>724607934
I already answered how in another post.
Valve can say what they want. Words don't determine what you're capable of

>>724607982
Its just for Valve products themselves, no actual dev uses it. See >>724607975
Why do you think the biggest modded games like Skyrim doesn't use it?

>>724607895
I don't get it. There's no weight here to anything. It's anonymous and it's throwing your voice in the void.

If you wanted to bait and shitpost, any of the traditional forms of social media would be better because once youve got a live one on the line you have complete access to their online identity to truly engage and enrage.

Here they're inventing narratives for the anons they hurl slurs at and then pat themselves on the back for defeating an enemy that never existed, maybe it's that they think it's funny people put in effort to engage with their shitpost but I type fast and would've been here making long posts into the void with or without their shitpost prompt.

in that society the beggars are the poor people. when i refer to poor people in a modern context i'm referring to our current group of poors and their psychological type. if we lived in a society where everyone got handouts they would still remain the lowest class and everyone else would just get shifted up a bracket, they wouldn't ever want to leave where they are. and in those old societies they weren't really structured in a way where you can actually work out of peasantry to join the upper classes. modern societies are structured that way, you can actually move up the ladder. it's one of the biggest reasons why america was such an attractive country for people to migrate to, because even now in many countries you can't actually move up the status ladder. other countries are adopting this of course so it's not just america anymore, and sure you can argue it's not as feasible anymore but it's still possible.

It would be far simpler to just maintain the supply of work higher than the labour pool so employers have to compete for employees by paying them more. Create jobs, reduce immigration, deport immigrants on work visas. Easy.

yes the housing market is getting a lot worse recently and we're probably going to be shifting backwards to where the majority of the population are in the lower middle class which is what you're describing. they aren't homeless or taking handouts but they are barely getting by. that's because our society is being changed not because humanity itself is changing. it doesn't change that the lowest class are a bunch of parasites, they will be in any society you construct no matter what you make the bare minimum. the group you're describing also aren't the poor class. and besides, this problem is an economic and societal one, you can't treat the wound by just treating the symptoms (giving poors money) when you should instead be fixing the cause

Someone earning 700k a year, only makes 10x more than someone making 70k a year. Only 20x more than someone making 35k a year. So he would be except from the tax. He would have to be making about 100x35k is 3.5m. So the CEO would have to be making 3.5m a year before he hits the 100% tax bracket, assuming his lowest paid employee is only making 35k.

If enough people agree, the system could get rolling. Once it's in motion, people will know that once someone is making over 100x their poorest employee, that they need to be taxed. So they'll do what they have to in order to enforce it. Since everyone is under the cap, no one will want anyone else to go above the cap. Like crabs in a bucket.

Because that has nothing to do with the conversation or what the discussion was about.
I've traded and sold countless of physical games I've owned in the past, so why wouldnt I want the games that I "buy" for nearly 100 bucks to have resell value like they've used to before Steam fucked over consumers?

not being able to afford luxuries is not the same as not being able to afford basic standards of living. yes they are living paycheck to paycheck but they at least can get food and shelter. they're working to survive
though generally speaking the idea of giving people money they didn't work for just doesn't make any sense, because people who don't understand the value of the money they have will not spend it correctly. give a poor person a covid relief check and they'll go buy designer brand shoes, flatscreen tvs, etc. give a middle class person a winning lottery ticket and they'll go spend it on hookers and blow. just "giving" people things or assuming they have the right to them is incorrect, that's the crux of my argument. the addendum is that the lowest class are parasites specifically because they will never actually try to get out of their situation whatsoever. but the class right above them actually works enough to get a place to live in and to fulfill their survival needs even if they don't get video game consoles and flatscreen tvs

>>724608426
>He can't politely turn down tens of millions of people buying video games
Right. But he can put his excess money back into the system. Except, it's in human nature to hoard. So instead of waiting for his benevolence to shine, and donate the money. We just tax it, and redistribute it for him.

Capping is a trudgeon and a poor means of achieving what you want. It's evidence of economic illiteracy when there are far more effective means of distributing, or more importantly cycling, wealth throughout an economy. You have to look deeper into human psychology for a means of indirect coercion to make the money flow. Right now, it's literally policy to maintain a certain degree of unemployment, since this keeps wages low, and makes money stagnate in an economy, no one can spend because they're poor, and the wealthy have no reason to invest. If there are more jobs than people to fill them, then there is a reason to invest, people will inherently have more purchasing power, and therefore money will cycle rather than stagnate.

Because workshop was barely a thing in 2011, the year it released. Prior to that people had been using the nexus for years for all Bethesda games and as a result Bethesda has a massive modding community on the Nexus.

Some games have integrated modding APIs that directly connect with Steam Workshop so it's extremely beneficial for installing large mod packs for server hosted games between your friends.

Project Zomboid and about every survival crafting game uses steam workshop but also a large amount of strategy games also use the workshop.
Project Zomboid was one, all civilization games also heavily use the workshop.

which is why it has hundreds of millions of downloads from it in a given year

Carriages needed assembly, carriages required materials, pieces of carriages needed moving. did you really create new jobs by innovating? Or did you just put carriage drivers out of work?

It might not be exactly black and white. But there is a net labor decrease. Because that's the natural outcome to creating devices of convenience. If it wasn't more convenient, then we would be doing it the old way, which requires greater labor.

Also, the requirements of the jobs are very different. An automated restaurant will reduce staff from a dozen people, to like 2 people. And then you have 10 unemployed burger flippers. Are they seriously expected to return to school, acquire their engineering degrees, and then work on the machines that replaced them? Even if they did do that, how many are required to maintain the automated restaurant. Like 1 or 2 guys. 3 at most. The remaining 7 employees go where? To the saturated tech industry, where they can't find a job?

If there's no demand for carriages then there's no need for a carriage driver, the labour that went into building the carriages now goes to build cars, they needed to learn how to do it from scratch too.
The same people that were pushing boxes now can do something else and learn how to do it too. They don't need a box pushing degree just like how the burger flippers didn't have to spend years of their life in mcdonalds university to work there.
Your outlook on people is that most are miserable skillless losers that are only good for boxpushing, or only have room in their brain for one manual task every lifetime. Innovators will need new people with new skills, tradfags will need artisans that ask for a shitload of money for a handcrafted item.

That's not my designated role in the commune, I just have to put fries in the bag and then make a line for bread.

>>724611617
Don't forget about plantations for growing beans, refineries, machinery for packaging, coffee machines.

remember when Tim Sweeney bought a mall for good PR and said he was going to use it and then left it to rot?

There was a whole couple of years where journos and developers were colluding and boosting his image and giving him good PR and that completely fell apart and hardly anyone even remembers it anymore.

>>724611658
I hope the commune has some jobs available for poet and keyboard warrior
Those are my skills

>>724611617
>I take the coffee to the Starbucks
Actually that'd be these guys.

>>724611306
>best storefront
Remember when supermarkets tried being the best store by offering a wide variety of shit AND cheaper. Like Walmart offering Automotive, Garden, Hardware, Electronics, Clothing etc ontop of Groceries. But Walmart and other supermarkets pay their workers shit and accept foodstamps, so it's always full of shitty people.

I'm glad my supermarket chain pays their employees relatively well. Although they do accept foodstamps, you can only use them when ordering groceries online for curbside pickup. No poors shitting up my store.

My family only went to Walmart because the area we moved to didn't have the nice supermarket. But that area got it when we moved away.

>>724611827
Which is a part of Steam's role
Those guys are Steam

>>724611617
Because business registration and health permits are far more complicated now than they were when these guys set up shop.
Because I now have a giant media conglomerate with employees specifically employed to drive out competition breathing down my neck.
Because it would require capital that is not earnable with a living wage in the US:

I will always use Steam and I will only use 8bitdo controllers and there's NOTHING you can say that will change my mind.

>>724611893
what does that have anything to do with valve? valve pays their employees extremely fucking high compared to other companies

>>724611927
Steam doesn't equate to this
Steams business model isn't fast food

Steam equates to a grocery store, their distribution fee equates to a slotting fee where the company selling the product in the grocery store pays for the shelf space.

You don't need to make a food analogy with fast food.

>>724611981
>are far more complicated now
They still needed to get the new permits as they came, retard.

>>724612000
>8bitdo controllers
I plan to buy ultimate 2, I heard it's really good

>>724611981
>I can't sell coffee because I need Steam to do work for me
So Steam is doing something for you then?

>>724612006
That's what I'm saying. I'm sticking to steam and my nice supermarket.

EGS is like Walmart. It tried pulling a bunch of tricks to get a bigger player base, but they just ended up attracting third world monkeys.

>>724611514
Every single one of those people decided to put their trust in Mr Moneybags to make sure they get paid, whether they realize it or not. Considering that Moneybags theroetically also wants money, he will make sure his company stays functional, aka pays its personel as much as it tolerates to get paid and make decisions to keep everything running.

Capitalism is a ponzi schme and (You) are at bottom

>>724612085
>equates to a grocery store
A really good grocery store tracking what you bought, making a board so you can share pics of what you bought, private messaging with our without buying anything, another store inside, custom workshop for what you bought, an adult section, api and dev tools for the people producing items and they sometimes make their own products.

Not only has Tim Sweeney made a positive impact and pushed the boundaries in the video game industry when he created Unreal Engine, one of the greatest and most-used game engines in the game industry but he regularly gives gamers free games and has secured deals to help develop and bring ports of beloved console exclusive series' like Kingdom Hearts and The World Ends With You to PC.

Epic Games only takes a 12 percent cut from devs while Steam takes a 30 percent cut from devs

He has also helped the environment, between 2008 and 2019, Tim Sweeney has purchased and dedicated over 50,000 acres of North Carolina land to conservation, the most notable being the Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre natural area that contains more than 130 rare and threatened plants and wildlife species.

>>724612232
A store that has lots of stuff that has nothing to do with a store?
Everything you listed is just for them to collect and track your data to sell

>>724602724 (OP)
No one is forced to sell on Steam.

>>724612271
>nothing to do with a store
It's a fancy store, not my fault you don't use any of that shit, devs get access to metrics, feedback, reviews, discussions, fanart, etc. Players get messaging, groups, market, badges, cards, profiles and more.
Tim's store didn't have a cart at the start. I'd rather go to the store with a better service.

>>724612309
Stay self-defeating mr bottom.

I don't support coward rats.

>>724612271
well, if it's that easy, why don't game devs do it?
sounds to me like game devs are just a bunch of lazy niggers that don't want to set up an easy, zero maintenance store

>>724612438
Only zoomers cares about the facebook stuff, anon.
Valve really introduced all the worst stuff from console gaming to PC

>>724612085
>their distribution fee equates to a slotting fee where the company selling the product in the grocery store pays for the shelf space
And they pay extra to have the premium shelves at eyelevel like paying Steam to put their game on the Frontpage or a pop-up when the steam app launches.

>>724612232
>A really good grocery store tracking what you bought
My grocery store literally does this and will print coupons based on what you bought

>another store inside
My grocery store has a bank, optometrist, and nail salon inside.

>custom workshop for what you bought
You can unhusk the fresh corn or pick off the grapes from the vines to save a few cents.

>an adult section
They sell condoms and lube

>api and dev tools for the people producing items and they sometimes make their own products
They encourage local businesses to sell their products and even create a partnership if they can supply their products to all their locations.

>>724612193
Walmart is much bigger than that. 90% of American households shop at Walmart.

Walmart pays their employees a shit wage, tells their employees to sign up for government assistance instead like food stamps, something like over 2/3rds of their employees receive them and roughly 26%-30% of all food stamps end up spent at.... Walmart

I think we can say /v/ is 50/50 when it comes to opinions about Valve at this point
>mfw I will live long enough to witness steam shilling end

>>724611514

Non of the worker assumed the risks of setting up the Starbucks system. If the system fails at the inception, the the people set up starbucks goes bankrupt. Why do I bother explaining capitalism to third world browns. Good luck staying poor.

>t. sugar daddy

>>724612574
Nobody is forcing you to use it
GOG has exclusive games, DRM-free, isn't struggling, backed by a big publisher and has the latest releases too. They take a fee too, are you going to bitch and moan about them too?

>>724612667
I'm pretty sure it's 2 retared communists and your schizophrenia.

>>724612667
>/v/ is 50/50 when it comes to opinions about Valve
absolutely not you nigger, you can samefag and gaslight all you want but most people are going to stick with Valve and GoG not EGS

>>724612667
It's not 50/50. What you're witnessing is enough people disengaging with a negative smear campaign against steam propagated by bot posts and copy/pasted scripts for at least the last 5 years.

When all the real people leave you're just left with Tim Sweeney.

>>724612707
Starbucks isn't a coffee company. It's a real estate company, just like every other massively franchised fast food company of the last 50 years.

Real estate grifters are the worst scum on earth and why we are where we are today.

>>724612707
Commies are notoriously bad at managing shit, what do you expect?

genuinely what % of humanity do you believe has been genocided? it's considered a horrible taboo for a reason, dipshit.

>>724612998
Starbucks standard is shit. It was good at the start but once it reached mass inertia all the food was gutted to be a shitty product with the most profit while it covers every street corner on America because it's a real estate company first and foremost and the wagie whose rushing to work doesn't have time to find the amazing bistro hidden behind the hollowed out guts of an old 90s big box store that requires a few convoluted turns to even get to.

Starbucks is a realetate company first and foremost.

>>724612937
>The entire operation chain of the company depends on them delivering and serving coffee
>They also make their own blends
>NOOOO THEY'RE NOT A COFFEE COMPANY
Kek

>>724613413
Correct.its not a coffee company.
That'd imply their value and primary business operation is in the coffee which it isn't, it's in the real estate that all Starbucks are built upon.

>>724612667
50/50 is the best a big company here is going to get

>>724612937
>Real estate grifters are the worst scum on earth and why we are where we are today.
Isn't this one of the reasons why the USA was founded in the first place? People wanted to escape slumlords and find a place they can build a home with their own damn hands.

>>724613392
So they
>Found and purchased the sweet spot to sell overpriced coffee
And

That's what I said.

>>724613624
Yes, it's a real estate business. Costco isn't a hotdog business because they own the supply chain to make their own hotdogs, and then sells it at their locations.

Eh Starbucks is actually more of a bank than a real estate company

>>724613826
i wonder what anon's epic comeback to this will be. shitting his pants and leaving the thread?

>>724611286
goldberg doesnt work on every game and you shouldnt have to pay and then do extra work to own your game

Plus no zoomers like me can afford games because we are all broke and we can barely afford food to eat

>>724613826
>Commie can't tell the differerence between Costco the store and Costco's fast food department
Retard moment. Does the car maintenance section of Costco also fry your brain

>>724615208
It's Costco.
When people go to Costco they say they're gonna go to the food court at costco for one of their hotdogs.

They are the same brand. The hotdog is very important to the identity of Costco as a corporation but that still does not make them a hotdog company even though they own the very farms and machines that make the hotdogs.

Waiting until last of page 10 to post huh shitbrains
