IT'S NOT THE DEVIL IT'S GABE NEWELL
STEAM SKIMS 15% OFF OF EVERY MARKET TRANSACTION
30% OFF OF EVERY GAME PURCHASE
THOSE TRANSACTIONS ARE DENOMINATED IN FUN BUCKS THAT YOU ALREADY PAID TAXES ON
EVERY TIME AN ITEM CHANGES HANDS, THE FUN BUCKS DIMINISH AND VALVE KEEPS A FRACTION
YOU CAN'T TAKE OUT THE FUN BUCKS FROM THEIR CIRCUIT LEGALLY, BECAUSE IT'S LITERALLY A FUCKING CASINO
EVERY VALVE GAME IS A STORE FRONT FOR LITERAL FUCKING NFTS AND LOOTBOXES THAT CONTAIN NFTS
AND YOU GUYS KEEP SUCKING THE COCK OF A GUY WHO DOESN'T JUST OWN A YACHT BUT A YACHT COMPANY THAT HE OWNS BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE
It's literally DIGITAL COIN CLIPPING
Also Steam acquired its user base in the first place by vendor lock-in on Quake mods. (Counter-Strike derived from Navy Seals Quake, Team Fortress was originally a Quake mod, and Half-Life is a Quake total conversion originally sold on a CD-ROM in a box.)
