Polygon loves their hate mongering click bait articles though. If you think they don't do this, then you've not been paying attention for like the last 10 years.

They just lay a few valid points to distract from the fact that there's a lot more to it than what they say

Honestly twinmold might not understand why so many people swear by steam (hint, it's because it does everything RIGHT) But Manspread, you are just one of the worst. Even with twinmold trying to call me out, I would still ignore you over him.

Nah, Manspread's two gimmicks are trashing SFV and Smash, he's a decent amicable poster elsewise and he recognizes that he's a shitposter when it comes to those. Twinmold on the other hand is just trash who I've never seen ever make a positive post. Even if he's agreeing with someone it's to use it to attack someone else and he has no self-awareness and actually thinks he's not a gutter tier poster himself. He's far worse.

I actually do have SLIGHTLY more respect for the Smash community than SF right now

Lol, I was making a point Manspread, that Smash strategy comes from chaining simple moves together. There isn't an added layer of complexity technical inputs between you and the moves you wish to do. You may not like this, but my point was that Smash's overwhelming popularity comes from its ease of accessibility.

Anyway, the point of the article is not that Steam is evil for making money. The point is that Steam has managed to amass an army of fanboys, who attack competitors for what they see as bad business, while Valve is guilty as just as much if not more. The article was about how Valve is misrepresented as a virtuous company, while being anything but.

I use Steam every day. I like it a lot as both a store, and an interface. I don't worship them however, and I still recognize that Valve is every bit as cut throat as the competition.

there is no complexity with SRK or fireball motions

they're basic fundamentals of the genre

Valve definitely has had anti-consumer policies, but most people I know take that into consideration. I have a number of PC gamer friends and none of them are really starry-eyed or deluded about how they do their business.

This "cult of Gabe" thing isn't something I see people do seriously, similar to the PC Master Race joke.
