Might as well call it the billionaire cube
Hoho! It's because he made money hahaha!
Noooo!!!
It is ok for Gabe to be billionaire and profit off predatory gambling practices on children and micro transactions and selling broken games and selling unfinished games and repeatedly trying to monopolise the pc hardware industry and being anti consumer and taking 30% of all game sales
Because he monopolised the PC marketplace so I no longer have to leave the house to buy anime porn games.
he didnt monopolise anything. the consumers did. valve does not enforce a monopoly, its just the competition shoots themselves in the foot all the time
also for the 30% you get a hell of a lot of service as a dev, including but not limited: the biggest storefront in PC gaming servers provided by valve managing of transactions free advertising on mentioned storefront. and thats just a tiny part od what you get.
and he aint trying to monopolise harware, nothing is preventing you from installing Windows on your steam devices, nor are you limited in peripheral harware choice (like controllers)
valve aint forcing you to do shit, therefore they aint monopolising anything. the competition just kills itself by providing horrendous service
Since you're clearly too young. I'll give you a history lesson.
Twenty years ago. Valve started paying publishers to change their physical games to use Steam. The Disc (because games came on discs back then) were useless without the Steam code.
They also paid for exclusivity. As there were quite a few digital distribution platforms at the time. IGN even had one.
Aww dude. There's no free advertising.
I suggest you read about the Network Effect in markets.
It's not at all easy to reverse the market share of a business which benefits from a dominant market position in a market were such effects are strong, even when they turn complete shit (example: Twitter), which Valve hasn't.
PS: A "20 years made no difference" example: Microsoft and Windows, with which a literally free product - Linux - competes.
if you count a user base of 4-5% a competition then every other launcher is a competition to steam, which i completely disagree with. 4-5% isnt even barely a competition, its a couple of people deviating from the norm.
and to the network effeft:
what exactly has to be compatible here? the game will run no matter where i buy it, the only difference is how enjoyable the launcher is
Says the guy writing on a billionaire phone.
The OP comment is annoying but your comment gives this vibe
Just received my Fairphone LOL
Cope harder and simp your fave billionaire as much as you want
You know, Valves decision years ago investing into the Linux eco system and literally pumping millions of dollars into open source development, contributing, hiring the sole maintainers of stuff like dxvk and more.
This brought Linux and especially the Linux desktop a lot further than without it.
We all gained through it.
And those new products are, like your Fairphone, designed with repairability and consumer rights in mind.
You talk like Fairphone does earn nothing in their phone's and their are not in it for the money. Well, bad news. They made 54.400.000€ euro net profit last year.
So, go and stick your pseudo elitist behavior up your ass
I mean you could do that with most all electronics
