Valve uses the Apple tactic so I doubt they let people get around giving them the cut as that's 90% of their business plan
Maybe educate yourself. Valve doesn't take a cut from third-party keys.

If you buy Steam keys from outside Steam (humble, etc) Valve gets 0 money.Valve uses the Apple tactic so I doubt they let people get around giving them the cut as that's 90% of their business plan
Isn't it funny that you rely on Valve to control what you can buy or not in an open platform anyway? If anyone can publish anything made anyway, why would people need Steam? Just to process payments? GOG is a good example, and I wish there were more smaller platforms instead of just a big one like Steam. This whole overload of lazy games would not be a problem if there was actual competition between storefronts.
Oh well.

Don't you think it's weird he's trying to push Valve so hard to prevent having shitty games like this on Steam, when in the end he can't make videos about it and "gets less money"? It's almost as if he really cares about Steam... and not himself...
I said I doubt, clearly meaning j didn't know for sureMaybe educate yourself. Valve doesn't take a cut from third-party keys.
The idea of taking responsibility for anything that happens under their watch scares most tech companies shitless for whatever reason.
Having a team to determine a set of standards for curation for games would probably help.The problem is not "taking responsibility" .. the problem in wich measure you should use to police that? In GTA you can shoot not only in schools, also in hospitals, in poor neighborhoods, in the desert. You can actually target only black men, or woman. Isn't that worse? If context matter.. there is no context is GTA. You are free to do anything you wan't. Without consequences.
You can also get around Apple's tax just like with Valve's. It's not true greed because you can get around it in part of the designYou said they used "the Apple tactic". Even if you said you doubt, your point was basically "greedy publisher who wont let a single dime escape them".
...you cannot shoot up schools or hospitals in GTA. Y'all. Stop lying to make your points. It's like we never left the 90s Senate hearings. Jesus.In GTA you can shoot not only in schools, also in hospitals, in poor neighborhoods, in the desert.
In the blog post where Valve announced their decision, they where pretty clear about this. "If we allow your game onto the Store, it does not mean we approve or agree with anything you're trying to say with it. If you're a developer of offensive games, this isn't us siding with you against all the people you're offending."

If 1000 games arrive on Steam tomorrow and all of them are good. How do you expect to find specifically one of them ?

I found the one, don't worry.

Thanks Valve! (No serious, wtf is this shit come on valve.)
If 1000 are good we're in heaven period. Who fucking cares. :P
Point is, as demonstrated by the title I just shown. You're not going to find 1000 good ones in a day, let alone a year that are new. But you will find 1000 new pieces of trash that are probably burying the one good one.

But how could Jim Sterling not avoid cheap controversy when it offers to him like that.

What buries good indie games is better indie games. If you believe assets flip are overshadowing actual good games, you're definitely wrong.
What's burrying indies are basically bigger indies because guess what, bigger indies now come with AA or even sometimes AAA production values in a price point close to the smaller releases. We arrived in a time where there's so so many good releases everyday that being a cute platformer or a pixel metroidvania wont cut it anymore to sell a lot. Except on far less crowded places.

And this game isn't even on Steam. So you're probably from the future.

Putting a bullshit disclaimer on your twitter account saying "my views are my own and don't represent [company i work for]" doesn't protect you from getting fired if you tweet something inflammatory which comes to the attention of said company, and it doesn't protect Valve from public criticism of their policy here.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I only check the new games on steam section every once in a while because there's so much crap on there. I mainly get indie games when they are bundled.Then why do the better ones stand out in the New and Popular section ?
Which indie dev actually said what you're claiming ?
They dont. Devs get to produce steam keys for no fee, which is the reason why other stores can exist. That's how bad Valve operate in in the industry.

Indie devs have literally said that their biggest impediment to success is the deluge of quality titles that they are directly in competition with.
e:
sauce
"Too much competition from LOW quality games" is right behind "Too much competition from HIGH quality games" in this list, so while competition from high quality games is indeed considered the bigger problem by most devs, competition from low quality games is still a problem.
I mean that tab only shows 10 games. If I'm not interested in them am I not supposed to check all the new releases.Good luck finding crap in the "New and Popular" section, which is the section you get before even being able to check the "All New Releases" which, as its name says, is an unfiltered category.

Sorry for the pic. It was linked to me in discord from a tweet so I didn't verify it.
