This is literally an example of why Steam gets praised as the only good game store. They make a change, users complain that part of the change sucks, and they listen to the feedback
Steam does provide a good product, no critique there. My point is the fact that they too are employing anti competitive measures and serve a billionaire. I wont stop criticizing that.
I see your point. A reason why I brought this up is because valve does not see criticism for the things they also do wrong and especially on this platform, rarely does anyone look at them from a non favorable view. Thats not because they dont do wrong but because they are good at marketing and other gaming companies are a lot worse than them.

But that was nowhere close to what you wrote though. It is perfectly fine to remind people that Valve is not the customers friend.
Well, I might wanna be more direct in my critique in the future. Thanks for giving constructive criticism.
Your point is irrelevant to this post so you’re just being obnoxious by forcing in criticism
My point is everything but irrelevant. Sorry you cant see that.
I dunno man you’re like the people that insert politics into every thread, and I say that as one of them.
Sometimes we can talk about a Russian person doing something nice or we can talk about a cat in Istanbul without bringing up genocide.
EDIT: or that They Might Be Giants song

No one is seeing it. It’s not there.
When did you start? Because that’s low-effort trolling irrelevant to “your point”:
