They're enforcing artificial exclusivity rather than trying to deliver a better product, which is annoying enough that I'll probably just wait until the exclusive games get released on all platforms (or buy it from the publisher directly, like with the new Anno).

One could argue that paying the game makers more money IS "making a better product"

Everyone else takes 30%. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, 30% is an industry standard.

"Everyone is doing it" is not a valid argument.

The entire community aspect of Steam is just pointless bloatware and I wish there was a "lite" version of the program that didn't have any of it included so I could just use it to buy/download/launch games and configure my controllers so I can keep avoiding going back to DS4Windows. I will never log onto steam Friends again.

A-freaking-men.

The big games industry crash of 1984 was mostly caused by nobody curating the quality of games released

Nah it was because stores literally ran out of space for all the shovelware, to say nothing of the many new systems coming out, and since nobody was curating the releases consumers would get tired of trying new games only to find out that they're completely unplayable poo poo

Which sounds kinda familiar :thunk:
