there was a spring sale historically, but for some reason that didn't happen in 2019 or 2020

I rarely buy games directly through steam now. Mainly use deals sites to find the best prices like

Im glad they dont have more sales.

Those are usually the only times I buy games, so that means I spend less

Nah stream's obsession with gamifying their sales can fuck right off.

I will only buy directly from steam if no other option.

Scummiest non mobile publisher in gaming

You can regularly find better sales on Humble, GMG, Fanatical, etc anyway. There's always a sale going on somewhere.

How? They aren't forcing you to take part in the gameifying or whatever. I've never done it and I just buy games and ignore the other shit

Can't think of anything intelligent to defend predatory practices, just reach up your ass and pull something out. About the only way to still support the first video game company that partnered with China, the first video game company to say yes daddy China when they blacklisted dota 2 personalities for making a joke about Chinese censorship, one of the only non mobile companies still pushing lootboxes, and the only company that sells fan mods in lootboxes.

Lol sounds like some dumb shit a Trump supporters would say. "BoTh SiDeS"

One has a good interface with tons of features. The other is directly connected to the Chinese government, moneyhats games away from other launchers creating a "console war" culture where there wasn't one before, and just recently got around to adding a fucking shopping cart to their store.

So valve, who was partnered with China for years. But since you're afraid to lose your steam library it's yes daddy China keep censoring daddy China.

So nothing that impacts you and helps fund indie games. The horror. They should be more like valve, buy the developer, pump it full of lootboxes, and if the lootboxes dont sustain let it die and never be heard from again.

You keep defending selling fan made lootboxes though.

Did Valve report directly to the Chinese government? Somehow, I doubt that lol. Tencent does though.

You mean like how Valve taking 30%, the industry-wide standard, doesn't affect you?

Except it actually DOES affect me because I have to wait until games release on Steam, Uplay, Origin, GoG etc. Because I refuse to use the Epic launcher.

You mean indie games that were already successfully crownfunded, and then go back on their promise of a Steam release because Epic bought some copies of their game from them?

And the fuck are you talking about lootboxes? You mean Steam cards, which are totally optional and you can sell for some extra money?

It's the only way to do business in China. You should do some research before you come into a topic ass blasted that your chinese bae is being exposed for their predatory practices

Hence it isn't any thing I brought up about valve. Go figure how being logically consistent works.

No you choose to wait because you want to make sure pro china pro lootbox valve gets your money. I'll keep using gog galaxy and not give a fuck what launcher it is on and follow the cheapest price.

Yup and every other one they did that doesn't fit that criteria too. One day you'll figure out how to be logically consistent.

Getting secured funding allows for more risk taking allows for better and more variety of games for me to enjoy.

Nope I mean lootboxes that valve is one of the few companies still using them.

Censoring what exactly, I can go on to Steam and buy several full on porn games and other games stores refuse to touch.

Or you could provide proof... except you can't because it doesn't exist.

As opposed to pro-China, pro-barebones store Epic? And again, citation needed on the bolded.

Sounds nice in theory, but do you have any examples of games that have benefited from huge post-launch updates thanks to Tencent money? Because here in reality, the publishers just pocket that money.

Such as...? Are you referring to Counter Strike skins or something?
