@Glassdoorgamer This is specifically regarding Steam keys mind you

Tim Sweeney's disingenuousness never ceases to shock me.
This man talks of competition while him and Epic Games are actively committing anti-competition and anti-consumer practices. Singling out Steam for the 30% cut, something Xbox, Nintendo and PlayStation do as well, it asinine... "bully developers" give me a break.
Tim Sweeney@TimSweeneyEpic
Is this the "fair competition" praised by recent articles? If a store with dominant market share taking a 30% cut can bully developers into not passing on savings to customers on competing stores with lower fees, then competition doesn't stand a chance.

@Bandgeek__44 @dougncarrie @LucasBalti @Wario64 It’s probably fraud detection. Mine went through just a minute ago.
English
@dougncarrie @LucasBalti @Wario64 Mine was canceled at the same time as my order being placed, looks like it was turned off very fast.

@IExistHerere @chara_betty lol no they don’t make RAM. They buy them like everyone else. You don’t have to make things up just to hide Valve’s incompetence.
English
@chara_betty Sony and Microsoft MAKE RAM right?
Valve has to purchase their's.
I could care less about valve, I play an Xbox, but you're points just don't have any weight behind them

Valve fans are genuinely what people are saying Nintendo fans are

Funny how fast people turn on Valve, who are the most consumer-friendly company out there at the moment, because they were FORCED to raise prices due to AI

@sethecityablaze @TheSystem_0 @Felspawned @KirPinkFury Like if not for public outrage they were really gonna uphold the ban on Chaos;Head Noah, a game you could buy for consoles from Walmart lol.

@inter4ever_7 @TheSystem_0 @Felspawned @KirPinkFury The censorship aspect is one thing I cannot defend. I am suuuuuper mad at valve's refusal to list @/ruuya1124's horror vn
English
I hate to be that person, but when Nintendo increases $50 they are an evil corporation.
But when Valve increased $300, they were just forced to do it.

@AIwayslame @Jonathan_Blow Do you thing Valve has no layoffs or firings? They’ve had multiple cycles over the years and it’s always crazy and stressful for their employees. Maybe learn more before coming to the defense of the multibillion dollar company of your choice.
English
@Jonathan_Blow are u retarded or something? firing and raping ur employee's mental creates shitty products. Layoffs are crazy stressful for the ones left over
English
Epic has about 30x the number of employees as Valve, so they pay over 10x more in salaries to workers than Valve, which I thought was supposed to be a good thing. If they paid more than they could afford for a time and had to cut back, is that a surprise?
Isn't it better for companies to err on the side of paying too much in salaries, and have to fix those mistakes, than to err on the side of paying less in salaries, thus not employing as many people as they could/"should" have?
When companies do things that you claim are good, but then you punish them for the inevitable roadblocks involved in that, well, this is deeply inconsistent!

@ReflectiveRuby2 @KirPinkFury First, Deck has been out of stock for months. They didn’t keep the price as it was, they just stopped selling it. Second, contracts expire and get renegotiated. No one is paying the same old price now, even Apple. Third, maybe Valve the poor indie company should have contracts.
English
@KirPinkFury Console manufacturers already had contracts locked in to buy components at the same price as before, Valve does not.
Despite this, Valve kept a decent price through the shortage until now.
English
@kaznius @KirPinkFury Here is the thing. They are not PC fanboys. They are purely Steam fanboys. They love talking about openness PC, but refuse to support any store that isn’t called Steam. The Sony want an open PC, they want a Steam console.
English
@KirPinkFury PC fanboys have been awfully quiet. Where’s that energy? You would think they would be 6x more upset with Valve the way they are with Nintendo.
English
@sethecityablaze @TheSystem_0 @Felspawned @KirPinkFury No it’s not a known fact. Nintendo raised the price for the same reasons as Valve. The fact you’re still arguing only proves OP point lol. If we’re just gonna make things up, I’ll say Valve was pushed by shareholders (Gabe) to increase the price so he can buy another yacht
English
@TheSystem_0 @Felspawned @KirPinkFury I'm also saying this with the context of the known fact that Nintendo was pushed by shareholders to increase the price of the switch 2 because it was too good of a deal.
English
@TheSystem_0 @sethecityablaze @Felspawned @KirPinkFury It’s actually funny how they retconned this into Valve being the good guy for offering refunds, when the first store to do saw was EA lol. They’ve also bought developers only to kill the games they’re working on “Firewatch 2”, banned and censored visual novels and more.
English
@sethecityablaze @Felspawned @KirPinkFury A big example is when valve got sued by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission who was refusing to issue refunds to costumers and after the ACCC won the case Valve was forced to implement refund policies and they also got a 3 million AUD fine

@DisussingFilms $1000 handheld lol. You must love shit, and I say this as an 1TB OLED owner 🤣
English
@inter4ever_7 Until the day comes where Steam starts treating it's customers like shit, give him a 7th idrc.
English
Everyone’s being too harsh here. There has been a significant rise in the cost of components that Steam customer spending ultimately funds, and economic trends have created severe disruptions in the component parts supply chain for megayachts.
English
@Dark_Mesyah The fanboys that act like it’s a crime not to list a game on Steam do. They aren’t PC gamers. They are just kids stuck in console wars mentality except they own a PC.
English
@SustainableSlop @Pirat_Nation listen here you little retard, who's stopping a indie game dev from making the game and selling it on their own website ? fcking nothing and nobody. Steam doesn't own the Windows ecosystem.
English
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is getting backlash after attacking Gabe Newell following the Steam Deck OLED price hike and saying he needs the money to buy more superyachts.
Valve says the increases are due to rising RAM and SSD component costs, but Sweeney wasn’t buying it.
“Valve needs the extra revenue to continue maintaining its megayachts.”
English
@ItmeBoe At this point I don’t think they’re PC fans. Over the years Valve successfully made PC gamer Steam fans. They defend Valve no matter what they do, and they hate on any competitors that dares to try. They don’t want an open PC ecosystem. They just want a Steam console.
English
You like how the second it’s Valve it’s now “well AI rose the prices” but they shat on everything else, god man PC and Steam lovers enjoy shitting on others but bootlick Gabe Newell like NO tomorrow

@MaZu_iceTea @g_noahh @oliver_drk My guy you were replying to someone listing the price in DOLLARS stupid

@inter4ever_7 @g_noahh @oliver_drk Avg pony, also it doesnt list swiss pricing, and here ps5 pro was 600, idk what to tell you stupid

@DisussingFilms 6 freaking yachts. Stop defending billionaires lmao.
English
@TimSweeneyEpic Gabe Newell re-worked a luxury yacht for deep sea research and
You fired a guy dying from brain cancer and left his family to pay the bills while your game Fortnite rakes in billions.
You’re a piece of shit Tim🖕
English
@NotTheCigarette Maybe because your favorite billionaire owns 6 yachts, loved his 6th one so much he went and bought the company that makes them for other billionaires. But hey poor Valve needs your support plz buy $1k steam deck thx
English
@TimSweeneyEpic For a second i thought the Main villain of valve was protecting the very thing he hates,
Then i read the last bit and realized how ungodly out of touch this guy is with his competition
It's always the yachts too, why is it always the yachts?
English
@TimSweeneyEpic Hey Tim when was the last time Valve laid off their employees? Oh yeah never?
