Steam didn't get to where it is because of market abuse but because of providing a good service, or at least a service that was better than anything else at the time by far. Valve are reaping the rewards now, but are also still providing an arguably better service than it's competitors. It's a bit odd that you want to punish a company just for being successful.

Valve isn't perfect and they're profit driven, but they're privately owned and the goals isn't maximizing profit, which isn't something you can say about most of their competitors.

I love this game so much. The video is very accurate but doesn't mention that once you overcome the hurdles this game throws at you, you can become so damn powerful that your wand can shoot 50 nukes per second that each erase the entire world you are in which temporarily reduces your framerate to several seconds per frame.

Yet you'll still die if you step into two pixels of the purple stuff and something shoots at you while you got turned into a flying sheep.

Why? The fact that people are buying it now that it is on Steam already gives the message they didn't want to buy it when it was an Epic exclusive. If people don't buy it on Steam after it's available then it doesn't encourage devs/publishers to release on Steam at all either.

The fact that you have the best AMD GPU but are still not able to run it at native 1440p says a lot. You are running it at 75% of 1440p and than have it upscaled using FSR. It runs alright I would say but I don't think the performance really matches the visuals. It's clearly not well optimized.

The only conclusion to make is that the video game industry has matured to a point where only masterpieces are released. Bad games just don't exist anymore.

Right??

I work in semiconductor industry where machines need to have sub-micron positioning accuracy and even we don't generally design parts with 10 micron tolerances, unless it really needs to.

But more reliable products means existing customers will buy again less frequently.

I recently bought new USB-C cables to use on my nightstand and when they arrived I saw they have an LED ring with a flowing rainbow pattern. Are you kidding me? Just why.
