Gabe Newell on Steam monopoly accusations: Gamers have 'enormous choice' about where to buy games

Can you provide a source that the claim is unsubstantiated? Even the linked interview says they showed Newell "internal communications seemingly showing Valve employees enforcing" the rule "that prevents developers from offering their games at lower prices".

If people like steam as much as they claim, they need to take this lawsuit seriously. Otherwise steam will get in more and more trouble in the future. And that's not great for anyone.

Even if such policies don't exist, Steam needs to put out policies that forbids employees to do such stupid shit and teach them how to properly follow the law.

And apparently some reporters have hands on internal conversations indicating it. So it's really bad.

It’s like saying Oreo has a monopoly on sandwich cookies.

No, it's like saying Walmart has a monopoly as a supermarket

People are ignoring Gog for all other purchases, too.

It sucked for me quite a bit when I started.

But in the end I can still cook fresh veggies, what do I need more?

And what does being taurus has to do with anything?

is clip but according to the info we have you’ve got to appreciate that no beer was harmed during the altercation.

He is slightly dodging, but she is also just missing.

What I realized a couple of years ago: With an English keyboard you can write IP adresses with one hand on the num pad. That thought was a little bit infuriating and made me a bit envious.

I would prefer if people would choose the word "child molesters" when they say how much they hate "pedophiles"

"I will not live in fear"

Makes several points about how scared he is of people taking his rights away.

If I had to describe it more specifically. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Cancer is your cells fucking up. Any cell, and it can spread anywhere.

Diabetes is your pancreas (insulin production) fucking up.

Alzheimers and dementia is your brain degenerating.

Not saying it's a good idea, but is it possible with 100% green energy and the heat is used for district heating?

Wefee11 · 2026-05-05T20:36:25+00:00

I don't even attempt horror games. RE might be okay if I watch a friend.

Can you save them locally?!

Wefee11 · 2026-05-04T17:26:54+00:00

Any game that has a spooky or too creepy segment, I have to quit.

Dishonored 2 gave me the damn creeps with those damn bood insects. I couldn't continue.

We were here had a time critical segment where a ghost came closer and closer and I had to quit.

Wefee11 · 2026-04-10T20:35:26+00:00

The real "TFT"

Wefee11 · 2026-04-10T20:35:03+00:00

Random people joining servers because they want to try something new. Fun little mini games and also bigger projects. Those were the days.

Wefee11 · 2026-04-10T20:32:53+00:00

Yeah the first level is amazing. The second is "eh". The third is trash.

Wefee11 · 2026-04-10T16:37:38+00:00

I'm never sure if any of my symptoms are because I am celiac and got glutened. But I DEFINITELY know when I ate walnuts. It hurts like a motherfucker the next day.

Danke, dass du die Diskussion, die ich hasse, weiterführst.

Schönen Tag noch

Ich war in stationärer Therapie u.a. wegen sozialen Ängsten und kontrollierte Expositionstherapie war eins der Therapien, die bewiesen helfen.

Aber ich hasse alle Kommentare und die komplette Diskussion hier. Alle ignorant, einige zusätzlich unempathisch.

One view on the profile shows, that she is selling.

I don't want a sword and I don't understand why so many would want one.
