@lonesamurai00: That's true. That's one of the reason why I'll always stick with Steam. Valve being a private company has full control over Steam. They don't have to worry about any shareholder or them controlling the company or other corporations forcefully acquiring them and changing policies for the worse. As a Steam user, I feel the safest doing any kind of transaction on Steam and as well as know that my games I purchase there will be safe. We make memes of Gabe Newell (Lord Gaben) but really what he and his team has done to the PC industry is nothing short of a monumental achievement. And really more than anything else, the guys at Valve cares about the PC community. This fundamental philosophy of theirs reflects on Steam and we, the PC community are even grateful for it.
@Tiwill44: Same here. Its because when you buy games on Steam, it also comes to many in-game and beyond features that enhances the overall game experience. Without it, it kinda feels like pirating a game.
@lonesamurai00: Agreed 100 percent. Also remember when Epic Games said that they will not make games for PC cause 90 percent people are pirates ? Now that the PC gaming scene is bigger than its ever been thanks to Steam and GOG, they've crawled back from their hole and wants a piece of the pie.
@nickpeck36: How clueless can one be ? Steam's competitor, GOG also takes 30 percent cut and games there are mostly indie / old games. On the console side, Sony and Microsoft takes 20 percent cut. This is literally the industry standard.
@sephirothswing: Or EA could just release a fully featured game with lots of contents on release instead of nickel and dime them behind paywall microtransaction. People stopped being EA's bottom b**ch like you.
