It’s been coming for a long time. Steam always had a slop problem since the greenlight days.
The reason so much shit got onto the platform was by exploiting the trading card system, and Valve allowed it.
Eventually Valve realised they could get more money by just skipping the vote, and allowing people to just pay to get their games on the platform.
That hurts Valve’s bottom line.
Never going to happen
This is the exact same attitude they had to the deluge of unity store asset flips (well they actually tried to blame unity for that, but I digress)
Steam gets their money either way.
And that’s what Lord GabeN needs to buy another super yacht for himself, and more Aston Martins for his son to race.
Literally the same thing publishers and Steam did to build a PC gaming monopoly.
They know G*mers are dumbasses
Aw dude
G*mers are ok with AI if it allows piracy.
Pro suggests he’s getting paid.
His dad literally owns the team.
My guy.
They already profit on loot boxes
Child gambling
unfinished products
AI slop
Extortionate DLC programs
Pre orders
Season passes
How else has GabeN been funding his son’s racing career. Those Aston Martins aren’t cheap.
Average PC G*mer grindset
That’s exactly what I did in my original comment.
Call out Lemmites for their ego (building the www), and their racism and misogyny (which no one is trying to dispute (very telling))
I’m only here for when I need something to browse (That and the pro wrestling community is pretty good)
And looking at a bunch of uncs with rose tinted glasses welded to their face, is worth a good laugh.
You remember what a party is unc?
Yeah. A bunch of old out of touch uncs with no personality outside of nostalgia for old internet platforms they got banned from, racism and misogyny.
With inflated egos about how much they actually mattered (seriously, built the world wide web).
Such a healthy platform that won’t just slowly shrivel up and die.
You guys do know a patent isn’t a declaration to implement it?
Like you know that Sony TV ad patent that gets brought up every now and then as “The dystopian future of watching TV”. Yeah that was in 2009.
You guys do know that a patent isn’t a promise to implement something.
Remember that Sony patent. Never been used and never will be.
People pay to put a game on Steam.
The more games being sold on Steam, the more money valve gets.
