Yeah? And what would that achieve? What the hell are gamers gonna do?

For God’s sake, we couldn’t even keep a protest going on Reddit because people were afraid of the sunk costs. People give Valve money.

If valve removed all of my purchases they would never get a single dime out of me again.

Would never be a move for them.

I think it’s more realistic for this scenario to happen to me, rather than the majority. My account with 500+ games also happens to have 30+ VAC bans.

Valve isn’t going to remove your purchases unless Valve goes bankrupt.

But make no mistake, they will do other anti-consumer and anti-competitor bullshit once Gabe leaves and the company becomes publicly traded.

Things like throttling your download speed unless you pay their subscription. Being forced to watch ads whenever you browse your library.

This is why we should NEVER put so much trust in a company that they can build up a monopoly, like all those Gabe stans are doing.

This one corpos.

I just threw up a little bit thinking about that future that 100% is coming when the business school fuckheads take over valve.

There is no “good will” towards customers, it’s everything is a service and every single aspect of our product should be monetized… Downloading is a cost, monetize it! Browsing libraries has eyeballs focused on it, advertise!

To these assholes it’s dumb not to do that.

Is it being a Stan to recognize all of the so called “competition” is dog shit? You want more competition? Provide better alternatives, there are VERY FEW corp’s with the pro customer attitude history that Valve has
