Disagree. EGS is theoretically great for consumers. It provides developers with more money which could lead to better games and less reliance on MTX to try and earn back a profit. Of course we will have to wait to see if this comes to fruition. Lets check back in 3-4 years. Plus Steam sucked for literal years before it got the QoL improvements that people are so fond of now

I disagree, no cloud saves, no achievements, no profiles, no community options, no VR API, no Workshop for ease of use when it comes to mods.

You can't compare EGS to what Steam was when it started, we dicsuss the present.

That is less an issue of EGS and more an issue of shitty devs. EGS didn't force them to do it.

This I can agreed with, but it still pisses people off.

If you had preordered on Steam, didn't you get a code for it regardless? I may be misremembering.

No. Everything is EGS.

You don't speak for all PC gamers. As a PC Gamer, I don't want digital in general - I want physical and I have been fucked over for nearly ten years now because of Steam and other digital store fronts. Where are my options?

There's not many of you, but I definetly see how that is a problem, but this also coems down to publishers and developers themself. They are free to choose.

The CEO of Spiderweb stated many years ago in a GDC speech that many things and services that they had to have full time employees to develop for them, Steam provides them for free, so I guess that is also a reason why many devs/pubs just put in a code in physical boxes.

Also, devs can generate as many Steam codes they can for free, Valve doesn't take anything, which is why we ahve lots of other stores (GMG, Humble, GamersGate, CDKeys and so on) which let's me show you this:

Ah yes, I remember when Mr White McWhitington invented racism back in 1905 and it became such a huge hit that all other White countries started ordering it in bulk.

Every other non-white nation was too "woke" to be racist and thus they all exist in complete perfect harmony with one another.

Israel/Palestinians live next to each other in fortified bunkers, India had (or still has?) a caste system, Japan once tried ethnic cleansing on China.

If America is so racist, I have no idea why don't people just simply LEAVE?

Once again, Resetera lives in some alternate universe where it's only the USA is evil but travel to Africa or the Middle East and everyone is holding hands singing kumbaya.

Even saying the U.S "turns a blind eye" is hilariously myopic. What options does the U.S have that doesn't lead to accusations of "World Police"?

They already give a shit ton of foreign aid. How many other countries "without racism" are doing that?

 

[Scopa]

They already give a shit ton of foreign aid. How many other countries "without racism" are doing that?

To be fair, most of that foreign aid is to buy favour and allies. They all do this, Russia and China included. It's not out of the goodness of their heart the majority of the time.

EDIT: I get the feeling we are going to have an influx of new members very soon of the REEEing variety.

 

[JordanN]

That's true.

But on the other hand, could you imagine what the world's reaction would be if the U.S decided to pull absolutely all aid to developing nations would be like?

People underestimate for example, that the U.S Navy also operates as a mobile hospital and is one of the first to respond to humanitarian disasters all around the world.

Aid isn't primarily about helping the countries it's going to; it's about political influence. The US withdrawing foreign aid would hand the reigns over to China. Just look at what they're doing in Africa.

They're colonizing it.

The difference though is I don't think China will be so nice with the continent and they'll either start settling their own people there or they'll pay off warlords to give them more money/resources.

Racist was a word created by a Communist Trostky back in 1927. It's just a stupid word made up by marxists to shut down all nonconformists.

Seems like it's not anymore PC vs. Consoles anymore but rather PC vs. PC nowadays.

I'm happy with Steam but it can get a bit too overwhelming in terms of content (it has games like Hentai tentacle bicycle race wtf) and I'm not a big fan of the Steam fans... Same reason why I don't like Switch fans because they tend to port beg a lot. Just my two cents.

That's not the point, all the driveby and uneducated "Fuck Steam" posts on ERA and GAF is tiring and annoying.

Explaning 30 times to people why EGS is not competition and why it is bad for PC gaming and suddenly another dozen of "Fuck Steam" or "Good with competition" posts drives people mad.

If it was up to me, I'd be modding that under console wars (Storefront wars) if it's adding nothing to the discussion. I'm a console gamer so I get why that level of driveby posts are annoying and add no value.

It sounds like people are really upset at the moderation. Then people brought up why everyone is upset with the moderation they perma banned those people. Classic ERA.

 

[Ellis]

They wouldn't be stupid enough to ban someone like Durante, so hopefully he chimes in some more and calls them out for being such a pathetic bunch of fucknuggets.

 

[Scopa]

My favourite line from that Redneckerz post (not verbatim):

"I have legitimate grievances with the forum and moderation. I am typing them out politely, but if you think I am out of line, feel free to "action" me (read: ban me)."

Lol. Typical brainwashed Era member. When you find your balls, put them back in your sack mate.

So you do use screenshots afterall (which is unfortunate because it is unclear to me what the issue with SN's posting besides its derogatory tone is and would have liked to read up on the postings directly following it)!

The posts directly following it weren't screenshotted. These screenshots aren't mines, but outsourced.
Yes, i figured a visual representation would be better as Fanto made a reference but didn't call out the elephant in the room, which is that BronsonLee and JaseC, two staff members, left and closely after SN. This suggests something is going on there internally.

Ah yes, I remember when Mr White McWhitington invented racism back in 1905 and it became such a huge hit that all other White countries started ordering it in bulk.

Every other non-white nation was too "woke" to be racist and thus they all exist in complete perfect harmony with one another.

Funny thing though considering some brazilian Era members were melting down and were asking for asylum to other Era members since Brazil has elected Bolsonaro because they "feared" persecution.
