  • That’s seems pretty rude for someone who is on your side. Maybe I’m missing your joke though.

    My words were an expression of solidarity with you. I thought it was funny way to recognize you banging your head against the wall as the expression goes, but maybe you didn’t get my joke?

    I found it funny how you kept having to educate people and they seemingly didn’t understand what you were saying.

    Sorry if I wasn’t clear on that friend


  • Alternatively workers should earn a pension for every hour they labour on behalf of someone else.

    Anyone under a predetermined amount when they retire should be able to collect the difference between the what they received and what they are short.

    Any business that does not pay enough to those working for them should have their taxes increased to double the difference, as a punitive action.

    Also do this with other things




  • Valve hasn’t changed anything, I’m tired of people just bandwagoning every thing they don’t like. Valve isn’t like other companies. They are still a for profit venture but they aren’t doing anything problematic.

    I personally don’t feel the terms they offer to provide the amazing service they provide is anti competitive, and like ive mentioned I have had this argument before. I don’t see how it’s anti competitive to say I’ll sell your shit and host it and distribute it and manage your upgrades, but I don’t want you listing it less elsewhere than your are willing to on my platform.

    I’m not just out here licking Gabe’s ballsack, you aren’t offering any rationale for them being uncompetitive other than someone is suing them. Which is what I was responding to mainly. Just because Ubisoft, like Epic before then, even EA too, failed to create a product that people actually want to use, doesn’t make Valve uncompetitive.

    If this is such a bastardly term, why is it only now that those big firms are failing to launch, that the policies that are almost 20 years old now suddenly anticompetitive.

    Can you offer one argument about why price parity is a bad thing?


  • I’m aware and it’s a bullshit lawsuit because people are jealous of steams success. Its not anti competitive to say I will distribute your games for you, but you can’t turn around a out sell it for cheaper once it becomes successful.

    they aren’t stopping others from selling their games for cheaper, only saying you can’t also sell the same thing for cheaper elsewhere to make us look like assholes.

    It’s entirely fair and transparent. They are free to delist their games from steam if they don’t want to sell it for the same price as the steam store.

    And also there are multiple ways to get steam keys for cheaper than steam sells the games yet valve still accommodates those purchases inspite of the way the TOC is stated about selling games cheaper elsewhere.

    It’s Ubisoft suing them and they are just bitter and jealous.
