![]() ![]() Quite a lot of dev's now prefer their game to be the giveaway because highlighted games not only get great exposure but it normally means a set amount of sure income from them above a certain amount of downloads that they are guaranteed in a window where it can get greater the more times the game is there were a lot of modifications made to make the game politically correct as well as removing "objectionable content" as well as cutting a lot of content including dlc claiming that the source code for it was missing (later disproven, they didn't want to allocate the budget) with the ME trilogy. Steam really stuff over a lot of content creators and favor people who learn how to game the system, this is kind of why epic has been landing so many exclusives (not saying they are great either, but you get what I mean).Ī lot of the time these days purchasing physical copies of games gets more money to the dev team than a release on psn, xbl or steam, where the argument used to be used that getting rid of the physical versions would do it, where now the platforms and publishers still take the lionshare of the income. I get why its there but I dont get the cult around it where not one negative word or holding them to account for australian consumer law, their own words or promises can be tolerated as they are sacred. Having a family member and many mates that are game dev's, steam sadly is a monopoly cult. A lot of kickstarters, dev's, fangamer, limited run etc release some awesome box set games that can also be played drm free.Ī lot of the remasters as well have not been great, sadly theres a huge list of remasters that did a complete fail at what they attempted (XIII, mass effect trilogy etc). Their customer service is sadly it's honestly pretty good for anything that doesn't touch steam. It sadly won't let me redeem and contacting valve support, just like when I cracked open my sealed total war rome 2 collectors edition years later and found they had delisted it due to a dispute with the publisher, won't let you redeem the code, their customer support teams response is "we can't help you". Yeah buddy, all the physical boxed games i've bought that even state in the steam key registration that they're from the physical retail box version, but I might be a bot… Meanwhile wanting to use full services on the platform despite having a few hundred games on it, and they will still restrict your account because you didn't use it for a few years (despite having gamers on it since Half life 2 launched) because you won't pony up and give them any money to prove you are legit. Made a ton of promises about where they would take the platform for the benefit of gamers and it hasn't been the promised utopia. Steam killed that and made physical release once issue coaster sets. ![]() Used to be able to buy a pc game, install it and play it. No chip on shoulder, just hate what it did to the market. ![]()
