Was?

Raised prices and announced less RAM for non-pro models

Yes, but a good chunk of feature updates notate certain features only works on 9 and up or 10 and up despite no apparent reason, at least to myself why it wouldn’t work on the 8 series

I hope this is exclusive to newer models and leaves my 8 pro alone… fuck Google

This really bums me out not cuz I was looking to buy one but because I wanted it to shake the market up and make every company do better for the consumer… I feel like this price takes them completely out of the console market and purely into the entry-level PC market where I think it still is a decent specs and price for that market. It’s just not what it was made to be

The problem with this is sounds great on paper until you explain how it’s done… Which is everyone having to verify their age by submitting sensitive documents to random corporations that get breached all the time and hand over an easy way for governments to see absolutely everything someone does on the internet

I meant list it elsewhere and not on steam. You can list it as many other places as you want that don’t have that policy and price it however you want. Nothing stopping you. But if you agree to the terms steam has long had set for listing it on steam then that’s how it be

Im saying there are other key sellers that have it for less that they don’t stop from doing so, but the things steam had and the publicity it gives are of value and they don’t want to have publishers using steam for publicity and other community and forums what it and directing most of the sales elsewhere. They can by all means list their games elsewhere and price it however they want. But that’s always been the terms of selling on steam. Of they don’t like it they shouldn’t agree to the terms. But it’s not like it’s some new policy that valve implemented out of nowhere. I don’t completely agree with their policy but if publishers have an issue with it then don’t agree to it

When steam provides substantially more services for a game with achievements, forums, workshop, etc. And then developer wants to list on steam and then funnel people over to a different platform to buy it cheaper. Steam isn’t getting compensated for the services they provided to boost the game’s popularity.

As others have said there’s already ways to get the game cheaper like humble bundle or Green Man gaming. This is literally just steam doing what they can to see a return on investment and not provide these services for free.

The comparison between Google and apple doesn’t really make sense as steam provides a whole bunch of services while epic provides a purchase button

Even then I still can’t tell if it’s that or just a lorez image plus compression

Oh there’s no extremism… this is a normal reaction

You could set up an exception for that website to not have its cookies cleared when you wipe the rest

But I like that it has that toggle at least

On the bright side, now I can divert my small amount of extra money to more tattoos since my main expensive hobby is priced out by ai slopcenters
