Steam is garbage now

[Dal420]

- ♥♥♥♥ ui which doesn't even scale properly
- broken screenshot manager
- no giveaways
- ♥♥♥♥♥♥ discussions with nothing but goofy mods who censor everything

Really grasping for reasons to stay with this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ garbage launcher much longer.

giveaways...?

yup. It's a thing.

I own 71 games on Epic. I haven't spent one penny.

GoG, giveaways all the time.

Steam - stupid free weekend here and there for games they know you'll never get through, forcing you to buy them anyways.

That is because you are cheap

Congratz...
My second account which I created solely for the purpose of dismembering this stupid argument now holds well over 150 games and I never spent a single penny on it either and I stopped collecting giveaway games with it a few years ago.

. Valve has adjusted the cut in response to Epic coming into play, so it did have its conduct disciplined by competition.

This is an unpopular opinion for sure. I mean if 68 million people are signing on every day, i don't think that those people think Steam is garbage.

That depends. How much money do those 68 million have locked up in the platform?

If you mean how much have they spent, I don't know. I do know that I've spent over $3,000 on Steam in the last few years.

100% agree. Everything just keeps getting worse on Steam, harder to use, buggier, takes twice as may clicks to navigate.
Window for a competing platform opens wider every year.
I'd like to see any one company do it right and not try and add some intrusive scam angle.
They just can't get past their weird greed, it infects everything...

You seriously believe anyone in the gaming industry isn't greedy?

Do you seriously think Epic does giveaways out of the goodness of their hearts? or GOG?

And his defense? "At least its not steam"
And no, his excuse doesn't work, just because "its not steam" doesn't automatically make things better. I could literally say the same negative things about Epic and use the same excuse and nothing here or there would've changed.

Feele free to use GOG with 0.1% of steam library

I did the same and mostly moved to Epic and am enjoying triple A games again thanks to their good deals.

The indie scene here was really good for a while but now it's all cash grabs with unfinished and uninspiring games and they got more expensive. Valve doesn't care and lets anyone release crappy games, pre-orders galore at any price.

Steam is a retail site. What do you expect. Also, the games here are amazing. Yes, some are bad but overall they're great. They far superior their console counterparts.

I expect some kind of quality control before a publisher is allowed to release a game on this platform.
