>invented digital distribution
Digital distribution was a thing before Steam. Steam's DRM is immoral and should be rejected.
>invented sales
People have been selling things for millennia, what are you talking about?
>helps talented indie devs make a living
Oh wow, they can host and advertise their games, not like they could do that without Steam right? Oh wait.
>created the best multiplayer FPS
They did not create F.E.A.R.
>created the best singleplayer FPS
See above.
>allows users to create and add their own content to games
Users of every software should have all four of the essential software freedoms, and the publishers shouldn't be lauded for respecting the user's freedoms, but rather punished and shunned for taking away these freedoms. Valve does the latter by not releasing their software under a free (as in freedom, not gratis "free" beer) software license.
>brought PC gaming to the living room
People have had PCs in their living rooms for ages. You being a millennial shit and your first video game being HL2 that you played on your mother's husband's PC does not mean Valve innovated anything.
>doesn't charge us online fees
The fact that their software is gratis does not redeem their disrespect for the user's freedom. Valve create evil spyware that steals the user's data and sell it to the highest bidder.
>trying to make a viable Linux gaming platform
*GNU/Linux
If they truly tried, they would instead lobby for wider adoption of GPU APIs in video games that are supported on GNU/Linux systems. Literally all they do is take the games that use an engine that can interface with preexisting libraries available on GNU/Linux and compile it. That is something the user could do themselves, if the game's publishers released it under a free as in freedom license.
>gives us free trading card and items that can be sold for games
So if you use their spyware they "reward" you with coupons for their own shop so you can use their spyware more.

>constantly trying to reintroduce paid mods
Constantly? Bethesda convinced them to do it once and they tried it, nnever since. You're retarded. Paid Mods for Skyrim was wholly Bethesda's idea. When Valve told them to fuck off, they made their own goddamn platform/launcher to use in the future.

Gabe even said if it weren't for skyrim they'd try to introduce it on another game.

Gabestein wants modders to be 'paid' like a third of the profit, so he can take the rest and spend it on more MLP figurines and a bigger golden toilet seat for his fat ass, you think he gives a fuck about the modders? He wants others to develop for valve for pennies while they take the lions' share.

No? They get paid 60%, valve takes 30%, just like they take 30% from 3rd game sales.

The split on the Skyrim mods was something like 16% modder, 16% Valve, 68% Bethesda. That was another reason it failed, the money to be made was so low. Again, this was almost all Bethesda's doing.

>DURR DID VALVE DO THIS EVIL TRICK, OR DID BETHESDA, THE COMPANY KNOWN FOR CONSTANTLY PERPETRATING EVIL JEWISH TRICKS DO IT, DURRR

And again, it's been like 2 years since the paid mods debacle, if it really was Valve, don't you think they would've brought it back with DotA or something already?

You still haven't addressed the fact that Bethesda made their own launcher just so they could do this in the future either.

It's just inserting noise into it," said Newell. "You want to have efficient ways so that the people who are actually creating value are the people that money is flowing to.""

>free to play
Please avoid that term in the future as it evokes other terms like "freedom". Instead you should say "gratis".
A game being gratis to play is still an unethical game if it was released under a nonfree license, as it takes away some of its user's essential freedoms and restricts and oppresses them. Therefore we should disregard the unimportant detail of whether or not playing a certain game requires payment, and focus instead on insisting that games be made free software. Free software is that which grants its users the four essential freedoms:
0. to run the program as the user wishes
1. to study the program's source code and modify it so it does what the user wants
2. to help your neighbor by sharing exact copies with him
3. to improve the program by modifying it and making those modified versions available publicly, preferably under a free license that grants the same freedoms to users of your derivative work.

Share your modified copies

If the software license on the game does not permit you to do all of those things, either disregard the license, push for publishers to release their games under a license that does, or do not play the game.
If the game is nonfree software and through your playing you tempt others to use this nonfree program, you should cease using it in order to not lure other people into the manipulative scheme of the publisher.
Don't play proprietary games.

>you legally don't even own your games, just rent them
Literally every fucking video game is like that. No it doesn't matter if it's a license, they have the right to disable your ability to play any game at any time because FUCK YOU, that's why.
>only focuses on cosmetics and skins
Oh you mean like any other fucking business would because it makes them billions?
>only sells other people's games
Okay, you try making a multi-billion dollar gaming platform used by hundreds of millions every month. Go ahead, I'll wait.
>obnoxious DRM (you can just play in le offline mode xD)
But you can.
>terrible community
Not Valve's fault
>never listens to fan feedback
Because consumers are retarded and don't know what they want
>Locks FOVs in games to low levels
I play TF2 at 110 FOV all the fucking time, get good
>Hasn't made a truly great

I don't even fucking like Valve and your I still find that wall of shit you posted retarded.

Hello there! You seem to have used the term "open source".
The term "open source" was created by a group of people that did not want to be associated with the free software movement. When I say "free" software (which is one of the alternatives preferable to "open source"). It's not about price; in that case I would say "gratis", or "free as in free beer". It's about "freedom"! This is what the free software movement is fighting for.
So what is "free" software? Free software is any software that guarantees the user the four essential software freedoms:
> 0. Run the program as you wish.
> 1. Study the source code and change it so it does what you wish.
> 2. Redistribute exact copies of the program.
> 3. Distribute your modified version of the program.
Some people decided that they wanted to restrict the user; but being able to study and modify the "open source" code is not enough! This is directly hurting the cause of the free software movement because it takes away the sociological "freedom" aspect of free software and turns it into a technological one.
So for those reasons I ask that in the future you use the terms "free", "free/libre" or, if necessary "FLOSS" (short for "free/libre and open source"), though the latter should still be avoided.
>for free
Like I said, free software does not address the matter of price. You can sell your program and make a profit off of it, in fact, you are invited to do so! However, you should not restrict the user in ways that are unethical in order to force him to give you payment. Maybe consider asking politely instead, or making your program so good that people give you money of their own free will. History has shown that this approach works.

Steam is not going to fall in the next 20 or 50 years (who knows) but that sounds like the typical "big companies lies" they say when the thing is working well

Are you really going to care about your TF2 inventory and your steam copies of Hyper Dimension Neptunia and F.E.A.R. when you're fucking 80? If anything I trust steam more than physical shit because it can never break or be defective.

Also, why would Valve lie about that? What would they gain from fucking you over and not letting you access your games were they to go out of business or something?

Fucking cynical retard.

Why are those "four freedoms" essential, and how come they're unique to computing?

Unless other fields of creativity have similar concepts? In which case I'm just unaware of them

They're a company trying to make money like everyone else. It sucks but what can you do other than not support them? That is going to be really hard if you're a PC user.

There's not a single dev that I loved growing up that's still good today. All I can do is hope they eventually release something that's enjoyable to play.

>why would Valve lie
Why companies lie? Why? why?
Keep calm, was just a "Work hypothesis" but the "access to the games is a total lie.

Well considering how literally the entire viability of the current PC marketplace is 100% thanks to Steam, I think I'll give them a pass.

Do you even understand just how much money steam makes them?

They have zero reason to make games, they get 20-30% of every game sale on steam.

>>you legally don't even own your games, just rent them

No you own a licence/Key to the game which extends even beyond Steams service. If it was really a rental service they'd keep the key, let you have access to the game but only through their service.

Beause they give you the CD Key/License you can transfer your copy to a competing service such as EAs Origin or have them listed on both. So long as the key is valid, its not tied exclusively to steam.
