Anyone else boycotting games that are not released on steam???

[Cockroach]

I hear assassins creed valhalla wasnt release because apparently steam is a white supremacist platform:

bloody disrepectful. I friggen love steam. Awesome menu and you can chat and talk about any sort of crap to your friends. All sorts of non politically correct games.

That would also require millions of video gamers to be of one opinion. There are people that love loot boxes. Most people are simply indifferent about most of the topics, so a boycott would always be just a minority.

I agree with this 100%. I also need to say that we gamers are also total hypocrites to boot at best. We cry fool towards bad business practices in the games industry... e.g EA's loot boxes and call for boycotts towards them but at the same time we keep quite abouts valves loot boxes in their games because we love valve.

Another thing we gamers talk about is our morals, values and principles but these values and principles soon disappear as soon as these so called principles starts interfering with our own lives and enjoyment, this isn't solely resevered only for gaming but also in real life in general.

I play games on PC not on a launcher.

I go a step further: I play games. If it happens to be released on a console, I buy it on there.

Steam never has been the centre of gaming for me, nor will it ever be. Like cinedine I simply play games and that's on various platforms.

引用自 Ganger：

If boycotts really did work, we would have no DLC, micro transactions, loot boxes, no more COD games on the PC, DRM and all other nasties than plague the gaming industry. But here we are dacades later still moaning about these things.

What makes you think the people moaning about those things are actually a majority? I think you vastly underestimate the amount of people who simply don't give a ♥♥♥♥.

I only boycott epic exclusives because I don't want that anticosumer BS to be a future of PC gaming.I have no problem buying games from gog, origin, uplay, battlenet etc.

for limited time you were able to get the ultimate edition of AC Valhalla for 10bucks on ubisoft store and that shortly after the release, thats smt that would never happen on steam

I hear that price was a mistake and not intended.

Just saying, since you seem to be using it as an example for Ubisoft over Steam.

As for the question of the OP, no. I bought The Division 2 WONY Ultimate edition when it was on sale with the free weekend, to play with a friend. But most of my games are tied to Steam.

Pricing errors happen on Steam, too..

lol, I'm boycotting Steam itself now, for entirely unrelated reasons

(for those who don't already know, I don't like what Valve did with the Steam Library UI.)

Skins... Third Party Launchers.... etc sooo there are rly enough ways for customizing steam... its not valves fault if the users not able helping themself with rly easy stuff...

While others told, it is so impossible to maintain list view, when we got this halloween library last year.

If its so easy, can you tell what to insert in the skin text so we have the list view back? Without this big empty square?
You, know the

I don't think you really understand how 'boycotts' work

They work by not buying things from a store anymore.

引用自 Ganger：

May I ask m8, what are you boycotting on steam exactly ?

Are you boycotting buying games on steam, boycotting using steam to play games, boycotting ever spending a penny again on steam, boycotting the community market, boycotting the forums or what. Details are everything.

Spending buying games and using the community market, or in your other words, "ever spending a penny again on steam", perhaps barring their improving their service. Been doing it since the new UI launched last year.

Also haven't been playing games on Steam (or logging into Steam) as much as I used to.

The old skins don't work anymore, and third party launchers still require Steam to be open to play (perhaps not all but still many) Steam games.

引用自 cinedine：

You are pretty active on here for someone who boycotts this platform.

Procrastination is a hell of a drug.

引用自 cinedine：

And if you don't mind, your game count badge was updated November 5th. Even if you just redeemed a free game, that gives every signal to developers that there is business on Steam to be found.

Game key for the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, bought on Humble Store. Which, incidentally, I might just end up playing by other means anyway, since I've now paid for it.
FYI, I know I haven't spent any money on Steam, because Steam is now telling me I can't participate in the Community Market since I have no purchase that is between 7 days and 1 year ago.

Frankly, that's probably the best approach. Don't get too invested in any one platform.

Of course, platforms want you to get invested, but lol.

I was able to get rid of the shelves and the grey. That way i dont get headache anymore when opening steam.
Same headache i get when opening epic.

But without a reason i wont choose to buy on steam. I did not like that attitude of ignoring. Its each time an intentional choice to buy somewhere else.

I sort of love the 'boycott' where you don't actually boycott the platform. aka its the "i dont ACTUALLY want to anything meaningful so I'm going to pretend this bare minimum thing I can do that is actually not that inconvenient for me"

If you think you're 'boycotting' steam by not buying on steam but activating your games and using the forums, guess what, you played yourself.
