      Did Ilmar along with the shareholder use his bullying to potentially steal the company? Sure. But good lord, Lead writer Robert Kurvitz is perhaps one of the worst ego filled sociopaths I’ve ever seen. My heart goes out to the devs who struggled under him.

      Second, bethesda is kinda screwed being a single player only developer hence why fallout 76 had to exist. Having even a barely successful live service makes the devs millions each year. Its basically impossible to stay profitable off only single player games with a 7 year release schedule.

      $40 is already too much for the little amount usually given. The standard should be $20. An the problem with DLC is that it's supposed to be new content made AFTER the fact to reward fans and customers for supporting the game. Most "DLC" these days has already been made months before launch and are held to be sold for more scratch.

    The thing that always brings down the lawsuits against Steam is that there isn't anything in their contract that says you can't sell the game to other game providers. If there WAS another online game provider that had the reach of Steam... then you would simply have to offer your game on that platform for the same price.. or pull your game from Steam.
    It's not very difficult to describe to a jury why that is... and the biggest issue for the plaintiff is that it's not difficult for the jury to understand it. And that last bit is usually the hurdle.

  • @Xyler94

    The Steam lawsuit is 100% BS. It's predicated on a claim that is factually incorrect. Steam does NOT force publishers to give Steam the best price. That only applied to Steam keys. If you want to sell EGS keys for half of the Steam price, that's perfectly fine. The other claim is that Steam's 30% cut means gamers are overpaying for goods, as they claim the publishers pass the costs down to the consumer. That's also BS. When EA or Ubisoft took their games off Steam. Did those games suddenly drop from $60 to $42? No. Did they at least drop to $50? No. All they did was pocket that 30%. The consumers are NOT overpaying on games due to Steam's 30% cut. They pay the same no matter who takes the 30% cut.

    The Star Citizen problem wasn't technically cheats, but exploits of a known bug. Even when it's CIG's fault not to patch it before Invictus week (which let you rent BIG ASS cargo ships for free btw), it's also abusive people's fault that the servers got overloaded with their ships out of the hangars to sell the cargo again. That also created excesive cuantities of RMC (the best legally profitable item) which created a problem for the people who like the Salvage gameplay (as RMC is the money maker there, and there were no demand).
    So yes, the exploit was there for everyone to know, but the fact that you abuse of it makes you guilty and deserving of the Ban.

    I've always found it funny when people argue against spending money on Star Citizen as "buying pixels" hilarious, espeically when in the same breath they mention buying an entertainment center instead. What does an entertainment center do? Allow you to...*checks notes* watch moving pixels and hear rhythmic sounds. We live in the digital age. Most of our entertainment is nothing but 1's and 0's in a file. Your streaming music, your downloaded book, your video games, and your movies. They're all just data. Heck, even your bank account is just data.

    What determines a monopoly? I don't think Steam is a monopoly, from a user point of view. Competitors have sub par platforms and and are less consumer friendly than Steam.
    I choose Steam, as well as many others, because they have earned my trust more than other game selling platforms. But developers aren't required to sell their games on Steam, and consumers can buy games on another platform if the devs offer it elsewhere. The majority of people (consumers) like Steam as their primary source of game purchasing.

      @@Matt.Hurley There's a difference between being a monopoly (which Steam aren't; the only games that are _exclusive_ to Steam are Valve's own games) and being the best service. Steam are simply better than all of the competitors.
      They also aren't trying to buy out devs with "exclusives" like Epic, especially in a scummy way like they did with games like Metro Exodus, _snatching_ exclusivity days before it was due to be released on Steam and forcing anyone that hadn't pre-ordered it to wait a full year for a proper Steam release.

      A monopoly denotes a near total market share, of which steam would have about 75% -80% of PC game sales, which is the definition of a monopoly. The lawsuit isn't really about them being a monopoly, it's more so that not allowing people to price their products differently on other platforms is an anti competitive practice.

      ​@@SekiberiusWelkesh It's not like that. They can sell the game by themselves anywhere they want, but it's the Steam key that can't be sold cheaper than on Steam. Of course, websites like Green Man Gaming offer their own discounts, so we can find it cheaper on their website, but those developers want all the advantages that Valve offers while selling Steam keys at a lower price than Steam does.

    Disco Elysium is one of the those games you have to experience in your lifetime. I almost ignored the game but when all of sudden it was briefly banned in Australia, I actually bought a copy at full price as a form of protest. And then it suddenly wasn't banned down under. Cause even though our classification system was updated a long while ago, games and other media still fall under the ban hammer... until they don't. Cause our system is still broken, even just a little bit. As for the game itself... indescribable. It's an experience that leaves you changed upon finishing it. Too bad we won't ever see a follow up to it.

If Alan Wake 2 doesnt arrive to STEAM i just wont play it. I rebought WRC on STEAM because i had issues with EPIC store playing games offline. Also offline mode, your game better be offline compatible and STEAM for the most part bar a few titles, is pretty offline mode friendly. Even Blizzard games, ill buy Torchlight and not diablo, because i can play it using STEAM and i can use it offline. I have Alan Wake 1 on STEAM, i want Alan Wake 2 on STEAM also.

    Didn't know that about Starfield. I saw the Trackers Guild update so I started a new character, I did the first mission which fizzled out...then all you get are missions boards with the same rinse and repeat boring generic quests that don't pay very well.
