valve is a game company, did so good at helping others sell their games that you people call them anticompetitive. That's just fucking laughable and I will never understand why so many of you seem to miss that. They didn't go out and give a different deal to anyone else. But Ubisoft broke the terms they agreed to because they wanted to use VALVES service to hawk their wares. Well they have to pay the Piper, and they don't get to cry foul if they try to fuck over the hand that fed them.
You can't succeed without Valve is a dumb argument.
Blizzard had no problem with battlenet until they pissed in their customers faces.
Good old games is alive and kicking
Humble bundle now has a storefront
Greenman games is doing just fine.
And if you don't like it then just stop using it and do the hard work yourself but NOOO that's too hard to have to figure out how to actually sell your product.
God I hope valve just shuts steam down some day and says fuck you to everyone who complains like this
