This right here. So much space and energy being used to bitch about Steam that could be used for, oh, I dunno... Sony. Microsoft. Nintendo. Giant players that have held tacit monopolies for years and literally engage in anticompetitive behavior on a regular basis.
If I had room for one more conspiracy theory, I could point to a handful of companies that probably would not be above paying people to bitch about Steam...
(points up ^^^)
I bitch about steam because it has issues. I don't bitch about the others because they have issues severe enough I just don't use them whereas steam is running anytime my laptop is running
I resent Nintendo so much because I know for a fact that if they just made a red clone of steam with Nintendo branding and put every possible Nintendo game ported to PC on it they would make so much God damn money it would cause some kind of gravitational money Singularity and destroy the world.
Fanboys like you are what drive me to bitch about steam. Steam is ok but the more people circle-jerk all over themselves about how amazing it is the more I hate it and them. It's a service that lets you download an executable wrapped up in an application which feels like they took the worst possible parts of every generation of computing in the last 20 years. Its ridiculous to fanboi a downloader.
Edit: yes, saying anyone who doesn't like steam is a paid agitator makes you a fanboi of the highest order.
And to respond to your deleted comment, although you've probably blocked me: saying anything you don't like is "coming from reddit" is a bad argument and you should be ashamed.
I don't think you came from Reddit. I think you came from TruthSocial.
Ok crisis actor
There I think I did it right
