I love how Valve's strategy is basically just 'don't piss off the customers and occasionally do something super fucking cool', while everyone else in the space seems to be cutting off their nose to spite their face

Benefits of not beinp publicly traded.

Valve also gutted their LGBTQIA+ content a few months back. And they have had a MASSIVE nazi infestation basically since they set up message boards because Gabe Newell is infamously libertarian.

So... chill a bit with the glazing. They are better in a lot of ways but they are not our friends.

You are aware the game removals are due to MasterCard and Visa right?

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago

At best you can argue that Valve will not protect you. Hence, not your friend.

They also let your children gamble, so that's cool too

As we all did when we were young playing pokemon, Mario, Mario party, marbles, mighty beans, hot wheels, etc

I don't remember playing with real money doing any of that or international crime and extortion rings developing around them.

[-] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah but it feels a little more scummy when it's Visa, Mastercard and American Express

don't piss off the customers

Unless it's their UI, they love to do pointless changes nowadays. On top of the stuff mentioned by the other replies

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

any and all UI changes will make people angry

steam has had so few of them compared to idk youtube that, imo it's fine even if it's kinda pointless
