We already got Microtransactions, such as CS:GO and TF2.

On the bright side Steam Direct wouldn't exist.

So it's not ALL bad.

the same thing

the companies have the same business models and the same deceptive business practices

It would just be a dog tag for them like all the other companies they killed

Basically Steam Greenlight but even easier to put trash on the Steam Storefront. Just pay a hundred bucks and you can have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ being sold.

Spoken like someone who has no idea how business operates. They're all cheaters. They're all charlatans. They all peddle snake-oil. With poor people like you with no intelligence or agency caught as the victims.

At the very least, you could grow up enough to know the difference between scams, or how they are enabled. In the meantime, you exchange your money voluntarily, do you not? Somehow that escapes laws against fraud? Get real, kid. Nobody is robbing you of anything but your own naivete.

spoken like someone who has no idea how actual business actually operates. that you think there are differences between scams is cute - do you not know you use the same word for it: scam?

you can watch an adult film where they do several positions, but the act that is being performed is the same.

Really? You think there are no differences between scams? And you can't even mention a voluntary or mutuallty beneficial transaction? How do you think this world works?

I'm sincerely asking, because I get the sense that you feel like you're being taken advantage of, but don't know how or why. Many people have the same feeling. It's part of the human condition.

That said, there's no way you're going to convince me that a voluntary transaction through business, with laws to protect against fraud, is anything but your own fault. Business models be damned. And after all, you're here, aren't you? So you are willing to trade. The only things you can't come to terms with are your own demands.

EA would have had them work on a singular series, then one of the games in the series didn't do so well and then Valve was shut down. Steam, on the other hand, would be merged with Origin.
