Strange that they targeted Palworld but not any of the other monster collector games that came out in the last 10 yesrs that weren’t nearly as successful.

They don’t need the money, but them wanting other developers money is what makes them do these petty lawsuits. And if they really wanted the money then they could have just made the pokemon game that Palworld ended up filling the niche for.

But they’re lazy and greedy instead of a fun games company so they choose to hire lawyers to suppress real competitors

If they spent half their lawyer money on making good games they wouldn’t be losing money to competition

Playing games is different than manipulating money out of minors.

You know that too

Yeah Lina Khan is fired the second Trump takes office, and she’s the one opening up all these antitrust suits

Then ban that shit too

We shouldn’t allow corporations to psychology manipulate children.

There’s a current effort being made by games companies who see themselves as a competitor to valve to sow criticisms of Valve in online spaces.

A ton of it is inorganic.

Really insane that companies will pay for memes like this to be posted but refuse to develop viable competition

Cool we all know how the system works, you saying it when it’s not needed implies you are supporting and reinforcing it.

You are implying you agree with it by playing devils advocate.

And that’s conditioning to prevent solutions to probems.

Check for the games you play here, it will tell you if there’s good linux support for it currently

They have you advocating for the devil instead of wanting a better system.

Nobody should pay money for education. The government should finance schools directly as public services like most civilized countries.

It’s completely unreasonable to expect literal children to do future cost benefit analysis and gamble with their degrees. And it’s not really acceptable to hold individuals who made these choices as children responsible when systemic changes are required to fix the systemic issues.

Tying min wage to inflation would also fix these wage issues.

But tbh nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Oops my b

The Steam Desk isn’t cumbersome tho, at least not more cumbersome than any laptop would be. I really struggle to see how any of the concerns in this thread are legit.

If there were competative gaming laptops that had the samr power as a Deck then people would be buying those instead of Steam Decks, that’s why they’re so popular.

TBH this thread sounds like a marketing campaign that idiot c-suies would assign to a troll farm instead of actually competing with their competitors.

Nah the steam decks are laptops but cheaper

Just get a little usbc > usbc/hdmi/usb and you can plug in a keyboard and mosue and then you have a gaming linux laptop for like $350

Show me another capable gaming laptop you can get for $350

It’s a bad argument that I want my programs to run on my computer?

Fuck off lmao

Well windows has 100% support. So it’s reasonable that an alternative that people want to use would be as accessable.

Sorry

That’s how publicly traded companies work, profits above all else.

Good thing Valve isn’t publicly traded!

How would steam crack down on gambling sites they don’t own and trades they don’t know are linked to those sites?

How would steam crack down on gambling sites they don’t own and trades they don’t know are linked to those sites?

Why is steam/valve bad?

They are a privately owned company with 100% focus on customer service and sustainably.

Yeah they charge like 10% of profit for the games on there, and more if you make it big. To be on the only platform where people actually shop for PC games…

Nobody has ever given me a real problem with Steam where some other company isn’t already doing significantly worse shit in comparison.
