    I’m gonna hope it’s a troll.

    But some people are really weird about “owning” games. The other day I was in a call with someone who spend hours hunting through dodgy key selling sites to buy a delisted Steam game at nearly twice the price…

    And yes I told them where else they could get it but they cared more about having the game appear on their Steam list than actually playing it.

      even if it’s not. There’s just a severe lack of thinking skills here. What do they think happens to the pirate copies people already downloaded will happen when drm is added to the store version? There’s a reason we keep saying DRM only punish legitimate customers.

      Clearly these kind of people have relinquished their ability to think and let ads do the thinking for them.

    Please don’t take Clown farmers serious:

    On steam you can give awards to people, one of which is a clownface. If you receive a reward, you gain steam points which you can use to purchase profile customizations, emotes, steam startup movies and maybe more idk. So People started spamming ridiculous shit on steam to be a clown and receive those clown emotes by people taking them serious. The best move is to report them, block them and move on. They also quite often pretend to be marginalized groups to as a “bonus” make those groups look bad which kinda brings despair to me when I see people actually taking them serious and not realizing it’s all fake.

    PLZ Add Publisher Launcher, it’s unfair that friends find me on steam and not my super favorite publisher fancy go clicky web 3.0 cloud store with digital lucrative dlc lootboxes for my simple consoomer satiation.

    PLZ make it so if cheats r detect that GameApp.exe explodes the battery in their laptop.

    Scratch that, explode the Solomonite.

    typical steam thread user, will report you for pirating games and does massive corporate dick-riding
