The irony of someone who uses "AI" and spicy autocorrect to rank employees trying to complain about a company people love to work at, and provides a good product.
Let me see if I got your statement right: you took the comment I made on another post to spare people having to click a link as me talking about myself?
In any case, steam does provide a good product but it also uses anti competitive measures to stay on top of the market and is owned by a billionaire. There are no ethical billionaires, sorry.
What anti competition measures do they use?
So I was right about you trying to use something against me that you didnt understand. Good to know.

Have fun
You should evaluate why you came to a barely populated thread, and made up a complete straw man to get upset over.
You're manufacturing outrage for yourself. That's not healthy.
What? Isn't this a common W for steam? This seems like a good thing to me.
I was referring to the very vocal crowd that can not ever accept steam being criticized for dominating the market and serving its billionaire owner, however „less bad“ he is. There are no ethical billionaires.
It could be viewed as a measure to get free games away from the main focus so valve can make more money.
This would've been a useless comment even if it were relevant.
Whatever mate. I wont stop criticizing anti competitive companies, there billionaire owners and the crowd that worships them.
I mean, comments are free. If you believe that's a decent enough use of your limited time on this Earth, who am I to argue?
This is literally an example of why Steam gets praised as the only good game store. They make a change, users complain that part of the change sucks, and they listen to the feedback
Steam does provide a good product, no critique there. My point is the fact that they too are employing anti competitive measures and serve a billionaire. I wont stop criticizing that.
To imagine there was a long time games didn't offer enough demos anymore, and now we get so much that they need to be filtered 😂
