Valve good, belong to tribe now, gib upvotes.
So Battle.net started selling third party games when? Man, think your argument through before committing to paragraphs.
Valve supports Linux just to safeguard their monopoly. They killed native ports because they pushed Proton so hard. Alyx supported Linux natively even but check now.
All of this is pointless for most of the consumers. You’re making an argument that because they care for this niche it’s worth paying 30% cut. Most people would be fine with something to download and update their games with.
You know that Proton is just streamlined and better funded Wine, a project with decades of history by now? If you’re looking for someone to thank for funding it, it’s CodeWeavers.
How’s your freedom to resell your games? Console gamers still have boxes and second hand market. Valve killed that on PC. Gamers ate Microsoft for attempting that, Valve somehow got away with it. At the time people said „but the prices are better” but how good are discounts these days?
Next thing you’ll tell me Android is good for Linux. How’s that working out for everyone?
Archived since nobody did that before upvoting it a dozen times. So many Le Monde subscribers here.
I guess if MIG didn’t present itself as a pirated cart that wouldn’t be a problem? Skill issue.
H is for Hamas.

They made a filter for that specifically on eShop :P
Cyberpunk 2077, Street Fighter 6, Yakuza 0, Bravely Default Remaster. All rereleases. Only Fast Fusion and Split Fiction are new but both are a bit of a niche thing.
What he’s saying is so blatantly wrong and easily verifiable that now you’re the contrarian.

Valve gets split into Valve backend (most rudimentary but common stuff so that owned games across storefronts in that backend carry over) and Valve store/developer/publisher. Other stores get access to backend, regulator stays at Valve backend to check if they don’t give preferential treatment to Valve store. Same rules for everyone. Then stores can decide how they utilise that infra, what features they provide and consumers make a decision on cost and benefits of those stores. You can make some transfer fee if needed because downloads are a variable cost.
