Why do people want steam to have a monopoly on game distribution?
Is this one big valve psyop?

-Steam doesn't care about being politically correct, Epic does
-Steam isn't owned by chinks, Epic is
-Steam has been on the gaming stage for a long time and have proved they are worthy of trust, Epic hasn't
-No one wants to hang out with Fortnite zoomers
tl:dr Fuck off chink, unless you want me to post the Tiananmen copypasta

Daily reminder that BOYCOTTS WORK!!!
DO NOT let someone on Yea Forums, or anywhere else tell you "Yeah vote with your wallets PFFFT good luck with that retard"
Read the article that was released today mentioning how game developers are actively avoiding Epic Exclusivity deals because of the damage to their brand it would cause. Even the giant piles of money Epic promises them were not worth it to soil their good standing in the gaming community.
Boycotts work. Discussion works. Anyone who tells you different is not your friend, and is not on your side.

I want to kill as many chinks as I possibly can when ww3 happens. I have to watch their small insect bodies get blown apart by .50 fire. I want to hear their screams of pain as the super napalm burns the flesh from their bones. Fuck epic and fuck your stupid ass threads

Human nature hasn't fundamentally changed the last few thousands of years, let alone during the past decade.

Developers are starting to openly express that they have declined or would not accept exclusivity deals for their game.
Apparently Epic tried to snatch Rise of Industry, which is currently on Steam, but the company declined the deal because they do not believe in restricting player choice.
Factorio is another game that Epic is very likely to have tried to grab as an exclusive. In their latest developer blog, Factorio devs stated that there will be ''no selling-out to big companies that would use the game as cash grab while destroying the brand (we actually declined to negotiate "investment opportunities" like this several times already, no matter what the price would be), the same would be when it would potentially come to any exclusivity deals, which is its own subject... ''
Months ago, CD Projekt Red publicly stated that they are giving any possibility of exclusivity or co-exclusivity for Cyberpunk 2077 a pass on Twitter when asked about their stance.
Chris Avellone who used to work at Obsidian, called the Outer World exclusivity deal a cash grab. He is currently a writer for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 and stated on twitter that while the game will also launch on EGS, it will not be exclusive because of the importance of player choice.
Quote: "The point of all of this is that the consumer backlash is finally starting to take effect, otherwise developers would not use them declining an exclusivity deal as a source of positive PR that they can share with the public."
David Evans
You sure about that?Uh-oh....when developers are openly and loudly declaring "we have no exclusivity deal in place" as a way to generate positive PR, mfw

Have some random steam keys that I have no idea what games they're even for. Probably some mediocre indie titles. x at the end of each one is the letter that finishes each word next to them.

Egs is so bad they have to pay publishers to use their store even with the 88% cut
How bad can epic fuck this up

Reminder that Outer World's exclusivity was not discussed with the development team and was a decision made by 2k.

Factorio is pure hypothesis, especially since they have the quasi sequel already under a deal and Factorio has been sold (and is still available as) a non Steam game for a WHILE. No online store required.
Why would CDPR go exclusive to any store (either Steam or Epic) when they *own* their very own store? (Which is GoG). Doesn't sound like "boycott" was the reason for that.
Obsidian is now owned by Microsoft, so they don't have any choice in that matter.

Steam has no monopoly, epic has a monopoly on the games they release as epic exclusives because that's how the logic is supposed to work
Jackson Long
>Steam doesn't care about being politically correct, Epic does
what examples are there of this
Elijah Roberts
Factorio being a hypothesis is only because in all likelihood they have signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement and legally cannot point blank comment on the situation. You don't have to be a genius to read the writing on the wall when the devs say "We've turned down exclusivity deals" do you?

answer and:
I don't necessarily like steam but I have enough of one garbage software to deal with my game library.
Origin, Uplay, and others tried already and thank god they failed because they didn't have a big enough pool of games, because otherwise we would be in the same disastrous situation as for streaming where X thousands providers are milking your money out for having 1 interesting show out of many.

Kind of funny, nobody really considers 50 bucks a month a whale anymore.

I think it's funny how you fags always manage to not mention great alternatives like GoG and always epic so please go off yourselves so you don't shit up everything with your chinky smell
Matthew Gomez
You'd think americans would be familiar with duopolys and why they can be turbo triple cancer. Especially with the way epic are doing things.
Elijah Richardson
Steam doesn't have a monopoly. I have no problems with other launchers, I've bought games on most of the big ones Uplay, Battle.net, Origin and GoG. What I don't like is Epic bribing developers to make their games exclusive to the Epic store which is just bringing console bullshit to PC. On top of that I don't want to be forced to buy games on a store that is just inferior feature wise in almost everyway (still no fucking cloud saves?). If Epic wanted to compete they should have spent more time developing their store to get it up to par or at least close to what Steam is. As of right now it's still just a barebones store lacking a ton of features.

Skeleton king was changed because of blizzard and not chinks. Chinks had low violence modes for all "problemtatic heroes, pugna and cli kz still exist in their skeletal form, clinkz got reworked to summon burning skeletons, wraith king can summon skelettons, the troll neutral creep can still summon skeletons with new updated models.
