However they’ve banned games without reason many times. Wanting to be a broad marketplace is fine, but I just wish they were either committed to the bit or went back to curation because they had a higher density of good games back in the days of Greenlight.
Agreed. Open publication, as opposed to gatekeeping publication, is desirable for creative expression in society.
Just imagine how many great works never saw the light of day or reached completion because publishers didn’t bite. Obviously the internet and digital media broke this dynamic to a degree, but I’m sure it’s a significant amount.
Ah yes, the market will decide. And famously, the market has always been good at deciding.
No, I think that’s bullshit. I think Valve should curate more of their games. I don’t think they should allow Nazi trash and fucking hate crime simulators on their platform.
To be fair, Steam/Valve shouldn’t be the one that judge the quality of the game, it should be the customers by voting with their wallets.
While I agree there are people who still buy those crap, so gotta put this here:
And they’ll enjoy the game or refund it, since both options are incredibly easy to do.
Of course but I meant people who buy for buying’s sake, for +1 on the badge.
There are also some cases you cannot refund after 14 days, happened to me once.
It’s true, but so are those that run things. Billionaires, politicians, CEOs, they are all.
nice slur you got there…
What a complete and utter idiot this piece of crap is.
I would guess that he’s looking for a response to someone pointing out that Steam has a larger game library than GOG.
Like, he’s gonna say “yes, but a higher proportion of the excluded games aren’t good”.
