Can Steam be fixed?

switching from "content provider" to money skimmer from transactions
stagnant growth
losing ground to other services
spotty services while trying to get users to moderate content
problematic game acceptance program allowing garbage games on platform to hoodwink users
high fees for content providers
trying to introduce user made dlc pricing to get a cut of that market (and failing but not giving up)

What you could buy and what you could rent was soooo inconsistent

What's wrong with steam?

小熊维尼

We are talking about steam not MySpace.

Why do you want more laws?
Buyer Beware read steam reviews and look at the screenshots, if the game sucks ballz refund it you should be able to decide within an hour. Trash Indie games that cost 99 cents belong on steam just as much as trash 60$ AAA games

High fees for content providers? You realize Steam takes less than all the consoles and even Amazon and Walmart digital codes.

Losing ground to other services? GOG maybe but people who install origin are dumbasses who play modern EA shit as all the good EA games are still on steam, uplay is forced upon you if you own anything never than far cry 3. And anyone who uses Epic for more than fortnite is honestly just dumb because you can't even very game files on it

>Can Steam be fixed?
It's the best DRM platform atm
>Is Steam dying?
Nope
>How do we fix Steam?
Keep asking for better support

Have someone actually sort out the games that get put on
Other than that, dunno
Also its dying? Since when?

Oh no, steam will only turn in a 2.8 billion profit instead of 3 billion. How will they cope?

and myspace was never huge, it was too late to the party. hi5 already had all its market

>6.7% drop
ITS OVER STEAM IS FINISHED

what I gather from this post is that you completely misunderstand what each of those were built to do and what valve expected out of them. out of all the things you listed, only steam machines and artifact were actual flops.

SteamOS was never supposed to be an alternative to windows, it was literally built for Big Picture mode
Steam Controllers and Steam Link were also not supposed to be an alternative to xbox360/dualshock controllers

>Is steam dying
Epic user you have to stop shilling Epic
I know it was probably ironic at first but your making this at such a fast pace that i'm starting to think your serious about this
nigga what
MySpace was a social media website that gained barely any profit
Steam is a store that gains thousands a day

It's fine, mostly needs the fucking app fixed and brought to this century.

Steam is already based

bump.
looking for fixes for steam

I don't see anything broken about it.

dump the shitty mods who are trying to play taste police
bring back big sale events and flash sales
valve needs to release a first-party game that isn't shit

flash sales will never come back as long as they have their current refund policy. they don't want to get an influx of retards refunding games because they bought them for $8 and now it's on sale for $5

>$3 for Julia
How?

I havent been able to log onto steam for the past 3 hours, so i guess its dead.

Unironically the best way to fix steam and actually motivate valve to do something is to introduce actual competition. Not what epic is doing with their bullshit exclusivity contracts. Steam has so much more to offer to consumers than the epic store, like built in reviews and community forums.

This, also giving more profit to the devs

Origin is this you? Fuck off man your store is in way more need of a redesign. We cant even edit the layout like you can in steam

>make it slimmer instead of fatter
>modularity (the whole vr and big picture shit can go fuck itself)
>see
>futureproofing concept like legacy activation servers ("if we ever go bankrupt and have to close, there are measures in place to not make your library useless"). big plus in customer ease of mind
>as a kraut, let me IMPORT international version of games that are cut here without having to jeopardize my account and jump through blazing hoops with vpns and shit
the legislation literally allows this, so why are you standing in my way? import shops were a huge thing in germany/ austria before everything turned into steam keys.
>if i buy a uplay game on steam, why the fuck do i have to have them both open to play?
>some games on there are in really shit condition and you have to dig through pages of discussions and guides to get them running
LOOKING AT YOU, GOTHIC 2

this, 30% is fucking retarded and charging less only from high sellers is even more retarded...

Yes it's dead, no one using it anymore, 5 million in game just 2 hours ago is nothing

the moment they have their profits slim down, I guarantee they'll announce half life 3 and let the nostalgia kids market it for them. I wouldn't be surprised if the fat fuck predicted this kind of scenario and just kept hl3 on ice for it.

literally only indie fuckers complain about that. steam is a massive advertisement platform so they can afford to take 30%

I've used steam for 10 years now, what the fuck are you complaining about?
it only gets better every year

You again?

it's all indie shitters
>wah wah it's too hard to get into steam greenlight
*fat fuck makes it easer*
>wah wah too much competition give us gibs

>Stop being the jack of all trades. No one even remembers that Steam has its own twitch
>Maybe think about major policy changes for more than a week. Allowing adult games has been nothing but a disaster

They weren't nearly that bad when they weren't trying to be the next heartstone, twitch, discord, etc. Getting out of video distribution is a start, but they still need to downsize further

They can start by rolling back the cancer UI update last August.

what should I do with the money in my steam wallet so steam gets the least money possible?

It needs some fucking curation.

It already does, you don't see any of the trash unless you go looking for it like some fat retarded youtuber.

It's not steam fault's Ubisoft are a bunch of assholes pushing their DRM, but everything else is true. Their should just be a lightweight version of steam without a market or store tab and just use a browser for that stuff and have no big picture mode built in.

It doesn't matter if they can take it, go try to sell something on amazon and see if they charge 30% from the seller with the excuse of it being the biggest marketplace and a massive advertisement platform...

They'll never be stupid to do so because otherwise people will just go back selling just on ebay in a second... Steam need competitors to drive their share down, I'll just never accept it to be a chink one

why the fuck not? steam literally, fucking, prints, money. it costs nothing to sell a digital game, and nowadays they do it at 60$ + mandatory season pass. then you have the ease of mind of a platform with years of experience that will make sure you don't get sued or buttfucked by carders or otherwise fall for some retarded loop that someone can use to launder money (saying this because a retarded indie dev tried to sell his game himself and ended up having his shit used by money launderers, all because he was too greedy to just go through steam). then you get to the marketing part. the userbase and so on.

steam doesn't have any legitimate competitors because they are literally all incompetent. uplay sells their shit games, origin sells their shit games, epic store bribes slavs to sell their unfinished games there, oh and indie shitters. nvm GoG, for all the shilling they offer here, I can name at least 3 (three) old ass games that were easier to run off the steam version.

the only legitimate, could have been competitor, gmg, switched to selling steam keys and abandoning their own launcher pretty fucking quickly because it was a good business move.

Amazon takes 40% asshole

tianmen

Adult games are waiting months to be checked over by Steam because everyone is fucking scared about arbitrary rules fucking them over. If this is how curation for everything is going to work, then just put a knife in Steam right now

Greenlight was really the death of them. They can't put the genie back in the bottle

square

Man, I agree with literally every point you made, that's why I said that steam needs a competitor and not that I prefer X or Y over steam, currently it's the only one doing a good job and charging a retarded share compared with any other type of marketplace in the planet because of lack of proper competition

I'll just NEVER SEND MONEY TO FUCKING SUB HUMAN CHINKS IF I HAVE THE CHOICE, in the case epic chink bosses for some miracle decide to pretend they're humans and make a good platform out of it and good games are put exclusively on it, well too bad that's one I'm pirating or not playing then...

A new European or US based Steam proper competitor would be great for both market and consumers though

are you retarded or just a kid trying to be right?
