is it even possible for it to die?
>flops and fucks up since it's existence
>people rage and moan
>everyone forgets valve's mistakes in the next sale
>they don't even do good sales anymore
>don't care, they pretty much own a legal money printing machine at this point (steam)
how do you kill steam?
are you blind? it has nothing of value on it. its dying a slow death.
Why would you want to kill Steam? It's the best thing that happened to gaming.
post your platform and digital storefront of choice
>DRM is my favourite development in gaming
Imagine having this much of a trash opinion
>Reducing Steam to DRM
You're not the smart kind, are you.
it's still better than anything else out there. i mean youre store still doesnt have a shopping cart or decent prices, just games youre holding hostage timmy boy
I like that Valve is actively improving Linux gaming.
>how do you kill steam?
Convince publishers to put all their shit on GOG.
Hint: it's not possible
>NO DONT CALL MY HECKIN GABERINO STORE DRM
I suppose I did forget about the fact that they log your chat and web browsing history within the platform, their constant legal battles against consumer rights. Man you know what I'm convinced, Steam is truly the best thing to happen to us consumers, so based!
>dying so slow the userbase still steadily growing
I hate Steam just as much as the next guy but you are talking a lot of shit right now
Steam is pretty great
>all my games in one place
>easy to keep track of wishlist and sales
>good recommendations
>very easy to use, no obnoxious 'design' in your way
>extremely easy to play with friends, literally just right click friend and click join game
>steam workshop is amazing for mods
>seriously, imagine cities Skylines or rimworld without steam workshop
>valve developed some of the most iconic games in history
Name one bad thing about steam that is not based on some contrarian memer opinion
DRM, you can not defend it, I too use steam and this fucks my insides hard.
>privacyfag
Figures. Keep on seething over literal non-issues.
>>they don't even do good sales anymore
Are you just talking about the gay ass events? Sales are as good as always discount wise, you just already bought everything you want probably.
>>all my games in one place
Hasn't been true since Battlefield 3 for me.
dont try and look at cp via steam browser.
Dont solicit cp from others in the web chat.
Retards keep spending on games they don't play so unless steam has a major fuck up along the way, it's unlikely steam will ever die.
Delusional
DRM existed before steam. Steam DRM is not even that bad. What's your problem with it?
Steam's DRM is so easy to trick, it actually goes against the design philosophy of such. You could say it's a positive.
how does the DRM get in your way as a paying customer
If EA can keep going, so will Valve.
Just stop talking about pedo shit and you'll be alright...

Consumer rights? Steam has provides the best consumer rights out of any platforms, I have no idea what you are smoking. Where else can you trade games, have regional pricing, and have such easy-going refund policies?
Can't play without the memory sucking launcher
What ever happened to this?
>memory sucking
this shit again lmao
you can't, too many people invested in their steam account
Online DRM was a rarity before steam, particularly for single player games.
sunk cost fallacy alone will keep steam alive for years to come
they keep giving me free games every weeks
>it's yet another egs chinigger thread
Yawn.
20 years later people still seething about Steam, love it from day 1
if you have javascript enabled in your browser, you cannot make this argument
>how do you kill steam?
Deprive them of their food source, kill the PC gamer to kill Steam.
I also love Steam, but the new UI is something I can't get used to. Would have been nice to have the option to go back to the minimalistic UI.
>Provides
The only time Valve does jack shit is when the EU jumps down it's fucking throat and of course they spend most of their time denying consumer friendly choices.

Steam would sooner be sold off than die, but there's no real analogy to be made. Digital storefronts with purchases linked to permanent accounts just don't have any analogue in real life. Anything crazy that happens here is uncharted waters, we'll just have to see it when we see it.
Steam is to PC gaming what Windows is to operating systems. It's not getting dethroned unless the industry crashes.
