Steams "Competitors"

Exactly. That's the type of competition that is actually beneficial, and it tries to appeal to users by unique platform differentiation.
I wanted to bold the good points in your post but in doing so I just ended up making the entire thing bold.
So yeah, everything you just said.
It is
okay haha, kool
cause I know that jimpoint guy makes Cheat Engine tables which is super complicated for just random people who don't know anything about programming
Ha, I love some of these posts on here. Someone makes an argument that makes no logical sense (like being pushed away by entirely optional features), people respond to that - and their only responses are "Wow you guys really love steam lol hehe" it's basically trolling and not conducive to good discussion.
I really wish they'd let you disable achievement popups without disabling the entire Steam Overlay. Steam achievements frequently bug out on me, forcing me to restart the game to clear them from the screen, but I use the Steam Controller for some games, which requires the overlay to work.hmnn do you even use Steam?
Disable steam overlay, it's been an option since... idk a decade ago? no more pop ups?
Big Picture Mode is still buggy after all this time, it crashes pretty often. I really dislike using it (or its overlay, because I never go into full BPM unless it's strictly necessary), but it's the only way to have full compatibility with the Steam Controller. Wish Valve would add all of its functionality to the regular overlay. And fix BPM too, of course.
Does you and all the other trolls in this thread make this community bad?
Hmm.. Yes, it actually does! You are right! The few of you shits down the entire community! So why are you here?
This is the most dumb post I seen in a month. Congratulations to you. It's so fuckin dumb it has to be a troll at this point.
Really, money laundry for the marketplace and shady resellers taking advantage or regional pricing ?
Wtf are you even talking about ?
How can you exploit regional difference nowadays ?
It's so obvious you dont even use it and you're talking out of your ass.
I really wish Mods treated shitposting in Steam/PC threads the same way they do in console threads. Than most of the shit posters would have been banned and people could have reasonable discussion. Meh.
Yes. I've been making quite a few overly sarcastic posts in this thread so I figured people caught on :P
For the record - it's absolutely bonkers to be annoyed by features like that and NOT at least go into the settings first before dropping the program\platform\thing. But that's exactly what that guy did... lol.
Seriously, the shit posting is out of control. These threads are a chore to read because whether its fanboys of other companies or straight out astroturfers you see the same garbage in every Steam related thread.
Are we allowed to report people like him? I would definitly do that, if that helps.
I belive most Mods at ERA aren't really deep into PC gaming (only Jawmuncher?), so these things don't affect them, and therefore it is hard for them to know what is or isn't shittposting. ERA, just like the other place, is pretty much console land.
Seriously, wtf are you even talking about?
The developers that struggle to get exposure on Steam and don't have big marketing budgets are not the ones filling their games to the brim with microtransactions/lootboxes. It's quite the opposite actually.
This thread is literally overflowing with bullshittery.
My comment clearly implied that if things don't change and the race to the bottom continues in terms of pricing and dev revenue, more and more devs would likely turn to the MTX or live services route to make ends meet. This isn't rocket science. We saw this happen with the iOS app store, for example.
Improving dev take would help to ameliorate this problem. Epic is already hinging their strategy on maximizing developer take, and I won't be surprised if aggressive competition from them eventually spurs Valve into offering indie and AA developers a better cut.
Damn y'all are so paranoid that a simple difference of opinion is seen as trolling did someone hurt y'all in the past or something?
It ain't that deep lol
Hey guys, let me give you my very objective, actual criticism of the GAMEBOX 5000:
Friends: shit
console color: Absolute shitshow
Online: bad shit
controLOLer: worst bad shit ever
3rd parties: Can be bad, but mostly shit
DRM: Bad, also shit btw
steaming: Oh wow, this shit is bad
UI: Really, really bad shit (shit is bad)
As you can see, I've clearly articulated all my problems with the GAMEBOX 5000, which shows I clearly use it. Now you know that it's bad, because it's shit. Glad to clear this up for you. They should just do away with the shit that is bad, which is everything, because it's all bad shit. Thanks for your time.
I don't think it's that. Falacious arguments, selective responses, drive-bys... All look the same no matter what platform it's for or against.
I think it's this: years of aggressive "fan engagement" by major platform holders and the social marketing firms they employ has encouraged fan bases to self organize and lobby for extra special care. And on the flip side, the mess we see in steam threads is both exasperated and highlighted in contrast.
/Forum theory. :p
You and I should start our own games storefront because clearly we have some big ideas
And yet, all that representation, and they chose to shut down the steam thread when it got overrun by trolls instead of, you know, banning the trolls.
Isn't there a big difference between the Steam store and the steamworks api/platform? I don't think just because you bought a game from the Discord store it cant be used on VR?
I don't know what's going on behind the scenes on this site, but I know that all of those listed are good people.

If you don't know what's going on, don't comment on the situation.
And yet, they are mods now and still no steam thread. They are mods now, and yet, the exact same problem that lead to the steam thread being "shut down" persists in every single steam thread, including this one. Notice how not a single person on that list has engaged in this topic??
This thread has become a tug of war and has deviated from its original premise, so it is closed to further replies.
