You keep saying this.

But you always wind up here.

3317

Because I don’t want everything owned and operated by a single company. I don’t want another Walmart or Amazon.

Steam has too much market clout for me to comfortable. My hobby depends on them, and it’s not good.

And, unlike Epic, I can’t avoid Steam for a year because of timed exclusives.

3318

You can have that position. That’s fine, but stop pretending you don’t understand the arguments when clearly your position is I don’t care, and you care so little you expect everyone to walk away from the forum and go save the planet.

3319

This thread is like a Buddhist sand mandala.

3320

Because we want people to buy the games we want to see get made. I mean, I want EVERYONE to buy Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, and am sad that not everyone will at first, as is their choice. The more customers buy the games we want to get made, more games will get made that we like. Hopefully.

3321

All the arguments are neatly summarized in the OP. We can probably stop having “you don’t understand what we’re talking about” spats now.

3322

I wish I could, but as long as there are people wrong on the internet, I need to be there and let them know.

3323

Well, I don’t care about you, sorry.
But really, if they abused it, no one would keep going there fairly quickly. Been there, moved on.

3324

And if they are so great, having some competition will be healthy

3325

Well, we could if people would stop saying “I don’t understand what you’re annoyed about”. :P Which, I might add, is completely different than the “I don’t share your annoyance about that” position you take.

3326

Clearly because you promise to leave, and you tell other people to leave, and then you come back and say I don’t understand, and then no matter what someone replies you tell them to leave again and that you don’t care about them anyway.

If you don’t want to discuss it, no one is making you, but you telling everyone you don’t care about them or anything they care about and then suddenly pretending you don’t understand what the issue is… dear god.

3327

I didn’t promise that. Stop putting words in my mouth.

Just stick to your own arguments instead of twisting other peoples.

3328

You trying to say you don’t pop in randomly and say stuff like this.

Or

Like how many more do you want me find?

3329

Never said anything about leaving, did I. Just that you were all crazy.

I think that speaks for itself, since you went through all that trouble looking for comments that don’t exist.

My advice, you all need to chill because you are all really worked up about some really silly shit.

3330

If people know the potential problems and don’t care, that’s fine by me. But they should know them, on both sides.

3331

Well if you think it’s silly to argue about video games and you expect everyone else to go save the climate, it seems only reasonable that you’re off to do your part since you think it’s such a waste of time.

3332

I don’t expect to change any minds here. I’m just sick of the “your arguments are stupid and weird” stuff.

3333

What do I care about the climate. I care that we don’t put Steam on a pedestal and somehow I assume it’s a saint. It’s a business. It needs competition to stay honest.

Because, honestly, that impacts the bottom line and hurts the people I actually care about.

3335

It would be nice if you stop telling people to go away and pretending like you haven’t been part of the conversation from the start and haven’t actually heard the concerns. You don’t have to value what other people value, but it would also be nice if you valued the people presenting the argument, and not present the position as if it’s save the planet or talk about video games.

3336

We would be nice if this was a two way street, you felt the same about my concerns. But you don’t.
