So does Nintendo’s estore and they don’t bother to filter or sort the slop out, it’s a worthless store to search through. At least steam filters out the slop trash and allows refunds if you somehow fall for garbage.
What is your point here? Some niche forgotten game from 12 years weighs that heavily on your mind?
Where do you even find asset flip games? I haven’t seen any in 5+ years and that period only existed because malicious people found the angle, which valve plugged.
Steam dominates the market because all my friends are there and we all have a great experience. Sales on PC games are better than physical console games ever get. Customer support and in general user experience has been phenomenal.
You can look past weaknesses that were addressed and solved my guy. Greedy assholes will always try to game the system and valve plugs those quick.
You do know it’s a market place lil bro and the best marketplace available in general? The only better one I can think of is Costco and their tech return policies are worse than steam.
You do know DRM isn’t enforced right? You can release without it.
You do know the refund policy is MORE consumer friendly than what the legal obligation from EU requires right?
If calling me a sheep helps you feel better about your poorly researched takes (and incredibly outdated). All the power to you. I’ve said my piece now, I have no further will to continue this fruitless yapping.

Steam already sells enough slop without AI.
But you know for sure the moment Gaben sees all the money from AI games, that shit will be pushed to the max.
You have no idea why Steam dominates the market if you truly think this.
Aww dude.
Steam was plagued with asset flips for years and refused to do anything about it. Repeatedly saying it was a Unity issue.
Then there’s the slop of shitty “simulator” games
Digital Homicide
Bad Rats
Have we seriously forgotten about Day One: Gary’s Incident
Steam dominates the market because it paid publishers to use them as DRM for physical releases.

Aww dude? Wake up?
Aww dude.
Good job ignoring Steam’s monopolistic anti consumer practices that caused their dominance.
Good job ignoring Steam’s multiple instances of willingly selling shit because they get paid either way.
Good job ignoring Steam had to be forced to give refunds by the EU.

Good job completely ignoring what I said about Valve paying publishers to use them as DRM to forced a install base. That’s a good little lamb you are.
It is literally the bare minimum they are required, something they spent years arguing against. And you say I’m making poorly researched takes.
I know it’s hard to come to terms with how you’ve been treated like a fool. But don’t worry, one of these days you’ll see the light.
Yes, yes, we get it. Everything is bad, nothing is good.
