I think it’s always the same one more or less.

No more oil to change so I can feel like a mechanic :( .

Oh look, a shell representative

The guy bought a billion dollars worth of boats.

He screwed you, he just has a constant media campaign running to convince you he’s your buddy.

It’s not meant to confirm a bias but to sell you things.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT STEAM KEYS

Read the article, jfc

I like the electronics, I just want anything that connects to the internet to be disabled. I’m close to needing to buy a new car, I plan on specifying at the dealership if they will stop me from disconnecting the GPS and other connections.

This isn’t about steam keys, it’s about Valve throwing their weight around.

Valve was arguing that Rainbow Six Siege needs to change their pricing on UPlay or they would be delisted.

It’s the equivalent of Amazon telling a manufacturer that they can’t sell their product at a lower price on their own website if they want to sell it on Amazon.

None of this should be defended.

Do you defend Amazon with this kind of energy. It’s super convenient compared to my local business and cheaper, Amazon has massive commercial competency.

Bootlickers, the lot of you. And I say this as someone who has a steam deck and mostly games through steam. I’d never defend billionaires and their money extracting machines but all it takes for most of you is a media campaign telling you Gaben and Steam are your friends and how they care for you. Pathetic.

Ahhh so it’s because one is a billion dollar company you like and therefore, can do no wrong and must be defended at each point.

Every billionaire is living off stolen wealth except Gaben because he has a nice product that I like.

You know when everyone was simping for Elon before he went mask off, that’s what the Gaben fan squad sounds like.

Threatening and forcing price parity because you own the largest market share isn’t acceptable no matter who does it and to whom.

Only one is consistently defended. Reverse the roles, would anyone be defending Ubisoft?

There’s two clip but the first is just normal merging on the highway before the event and the other is a few seconds during the event and never actually climbs to height window so nothing can be seen.

I guess waymo would already be contesting it if there wasn’t any truth to it but I’m not sure it’s as extreme as the media makes it look.

The waymo AI is evolving from a thoughtless computer to an actual being capable of love and understanding. Even if it knew it meant trouble, it still tried to protect its passengers from the cops.

Pay today to get what MySpace gave for free 15 years ago.

To be fair, 90% of that 250 is going to three guys so someone was getting a yatch either way.

1000$ may seem like a lot but its a small price to pay when you think of the new boat Gaben will be able to own soon.

Valve doesn’t buy their ram off Amazon, I don’t think we can estimate so easily. Sorry if I don’t trust the guy that spent 1000 million on boats to be greed immune.

I think a price increase was inevitable but 300% between the cheapest model in the space of a year is hard to swallow. Any other company would be getting dragged through coals.

It’s not like they are open about their costs, and steam already takes advantage of its clients (both gamers and game devs), so it’s not like taking a bit more profit than they need to is below them.

The LCD deck was even cheaper, and this is the second OLED price hike as well, after having removed the cheaper LCD version.

I legit think they are hiking prices because they can’t bring down the cost of their other upcoming products. You can’t have a 300$ LCD steam deck next to a slightly better 1200$ steam box. At least it’s easy to blame someone else right now, no one will call it greedflation when steam does it.
