Steam has got to be considering blacklisting them as a publisher over this. This is so, so dumb.
I'm afraid they would just make yet another barely functioning launcher/storefront
We need to blacklist anti-libre software. They do this because we let them.
I wasnt considering buying any more snoy games after this whole debacle, and I certainly won't if they make their own launcher. But unfortunately the average gamer just doesn't care :(
'Average gamer', cope. That won't stop me rejecting their abuse and helping those directly around me copy.
Of course not, change starts with yourself, but the reality is that lots of people willingly eat shit from corporations all the time
I’ve heard it gives them a sense of pride and accomplishment
The thing is, we really dont need to care that AAA games are terminally fucked, there are shitloads of indies that come out every month. The "average gamer" shit doesnt show up in very many Indie games
…that nobody with a functioning brain would use.
That's still a lot of people, I'm afraid
Why would they? They still get a %30 cut of those $70 games. Blacklisting them would just be giving GoG and Epic a leg up in being the only stores you can play Sony blockbusters.
Just a reminder that the steam Refund policy in America is illegal everywhere else in the world. They aren't this great company that's consumer first. They are trying to make as much money as possible and have Allowed the likes of 2k games and EA to be as scummy as possible on their platform.
I'm genuinely very confused - why is the steam refund policy illegal everywhere except America?
I think he means Steam's refund policy is not available to anyone outside the US because they only implemented it to comply with a US law, so like if you are in a country without similar consumer protection laws they don't offer the refund policy. (its not just the US btw, places like Canada and the EU also have the Steam refund policy)
Because everywhere else has better consumer protections than America. 2 hour refund policy is some real anti consumer shit.
Don’t give your competitors a win
It’s the same reason sports leagues don’t punish good players
