The publishers decided the sale percentages not steam
Let’s just hope valve never goes public.
Honestly, enshittification always stems from a company going public and squeezing customers dry to please investors.
I really hope when this man dies, someone will take up the mantle and not turn Valve into one of those other companies.
This is one hell of a circlejerk since publishers are the ones that decide the sale, not Valve.
i’m impressed that Valve has maintained such a high level of quality with their products for so long. you don’t really see that anymore
steam has the best sales! 😩
Valve literally had to be sued by the ACCC before they began offering an actual refund policy
Steam is the reasonn why i stopped pirating games
There are plenty of good sales on the other platforms too.
Valve is plenty greedy but at least they treat us and the devs fair.
GOG does those discounts too.
All you know in life is consumption you will never feel real fulfillment or passion or love. Corporations do not care about you, Gaben does not care about you, they all seek the same goal which is to alienate and exploit you to sell you products. Your investment in the invisible, uncaring entity of the corporation will sow the slow and painful degradation of gaming as an art form. Seek meaning in people, interpersonal relationships, and hobbies. Do not let culture war eat away at what remains of your lifeforce
Steam dickrider…
Do you actually think that steam decided the discounts?
i dont mind epic tbh , get better discounts during winter mega sales so hold off all my big purchases for epic
If publishers really hated the sales, they could be like Factorio, never has been on sale, never will be on sale, and no one minds.
Yeah Publishers don’t care, they like money.
Hell Koei (dickbag) Tecmo likes to stop putting their older Musou Games on Sale, and now a lot of their old titles are always 60 because… they suck donkey balls. (And they used to be on sales)
Basiclaly if a publisher wanted to, they could be like that, but no one buys a full price game 6 years after it comes out…
Another clown who doesn’t know that the publishers set the sales percentage.

If there is a person who deserves immortality (like normal one with good health and not further aging) – it is Gaben. I afraid without him Steam will become one of those greedy piece of poos.
remove Epic tho
Epic for free stuff
Steam for sales
Good ol Gaben
It would make more sense if you replaced steam with Valve as a whole
You need to use a new photo of Gabe, he looks slick as hell now
I’ve heard mixed things on Steam customer support, I’ve never needed to use them myself though.
As much of a Nintendo person I am, I do admit their sales are not only uncommon but also a tad bit stingy. The most they’re willing to cut is 30%, AFAIK.
Really shit discounts at Activision Blizzard man, like literally dog shit discounts. I’ve been looking to get W3 Reforged, a 20 yrs old game and there’s zero discount on it, zero, nada . Fucking Blizzard pieces of shit Communists cock sukers !
Ah well, guess I’ll spend my 40$ on Steam shop then…
You forgot their slaves army of stans on a leash defending all their anti consumer and inhuman actions.
Ya gotta use his new look
We must protect him at all cost.
The discounts on this Steam sale aren’t that good.
Or ignore gaming in general. Assume most of them are like virtual systems of punishment. Why bother?😂
