Valve isnt consumer friendly, they force steam on consumer its actually very much like blackmail and its only a matter of time till brussel will stop that. The information that blackmail out of the consumers is pure money, and they get it through blackmail.

 

Its absolutly against consumer, its anti consumer.


Oh my god. "Nintendo are focrcing you to buy a Nintendo console to play their games!" Blackmail! You do know that a lot of the titles on Steam are also available elsewhere? Physical copies, Green Man Gaming, Good Old Games, Origin. Steam is entirely optional and Valve have always supported the notion of this through not bartering for exclusivity deals, so the content will also be available elsewhere, they simply rely on a great service and some great deals to draw the customer in. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

To call Valve, out of every developer in the world, anti-consumer is probably among the most ignorant remarks I've ever read in here and that is no mean feat. But then again, since they're not Nintendo, they must be entirely detrimental and worthless to the industry (that is the overall impression you give on these forums anyway).

I don't there's any point in this, you've obviously decided that you can precede over the objective factoring and evaluation of all gamers out there, it is highly unlikely that you'll ever be open to other views. This is not a good premise for debate.
