Nowhere did I say Gaben gets a pass, I’m saying Steam is a great service.

The product stays the same if we bring down their revenue to 1 billion, they aren’t close to bankruptcy. If they took 0.5 %

So? I don’t care if they’re forced to lower his salary. You said nothing differentiates Steam enough and I’m saying it does so by being good.

They are rivals but they don’t actually compete or strive to give their customers any kind of competitive prices.

And yes, you are defending a billionaire.

I’m clearly not. I’m defending the service itself

There is absolutely nothing that differentiates valve from the other stores front to justify this.

The “justification” is that Steam is a good storefront and others kind of blows. There’s nothing stopping other companies from making good software…they just haven’t.

it’s clear collusion.

That’s not what collusion is… Steam doesn’t sell Nintendo games and is Epic/Microsoft’s rival.

Can’t wait for all the downvotes and simps coming to defend him

To be clear, I’m not defending billionaires. Your talking points are just kind of baseless.

This would be more suited for asklemmy, this community isn’t for opinion discussions

Yeah I robbed that gas station but at least some crime boss didn’t make me do it. It was genuine so you should forgive me

I’m glad this report showed their innocence but I unsubscribed after the GN/Billet Labs thing.

I might check them out again later but that situation made me kind of uncomfortable with supporting them
