So, you think a good way to correct someone is to directly insult them because you find their points unrelated but yours perfect? Rude. And the only thing steam controls via contract is the ability to sell your games via steam keys for price parity.

And you misunderstood my point. RuneScape isn't even on the epic game store so you aren't reading my words carefully. You are projecting your own hypocrisy.

That's the policy on steam keys. If you are not using their steam keys it's not covered by their contract agreement at least.

The lawsuit is not yet finished and while we can take their complaints into account we can't take them for fact.
The case was already dismissed once because they argued the 30% was controlling the market but it's been there since day 1 of their storefront and has not changed to force game price changes. Beyond that they argue that Valve bought servers to take them offline to push players to them but... That's not really on this point of price controlling or the ability sell non steam keys.

Literally RuneScape does this by offering memberships not available on steam.

If you see something I am missing from the lawsuit please let me know, preferably without the hostility if you can manage.

children’s poet Shel Silverstein

What? Is that the same Shel Silverstein as 2 time Grammy winning, Johnny Cash swongwriter, Academy awards and Golden Globe nominee, and Playboy Cartoonist, also prolific one act playwright, Shel Silverstein?

The answer is yes.
I just think he needs someone to shout out his other works in here in case you didn't know.

I was about to jump in and defend the heck out of Shel Silverstein but it's based on a broad sweeping nudity ban?

That's fair. That man was an accidental children's book author and the best kind of weirdo.
The ban is dumb but his inclusion less so.

Right. Ok then. You have wasted enough of your time. I hope you figure out how to make your life less miserable through actions rather than complaints.

And you'rs has been non existent while you are making responses of a period to just have the final comment.

My opinion of your contribution is accurate to what you have, and my contribution has been me conversing with someone who doesn't care.

I'm gonna stop responding now. Feel free to think about things, or just post your follow-up comment so you can get your tiny victory with no meaning that means we know you lack the maturity to understand your actions.

I am asking you to explain your point. You can not rely on making others do your work for you.

That is you obstructing your point through others. Make your point and make it clearly since you seem insistent on doing so.
Effort is not dropping a link and thinking it argues on your behalf.

And you insist on getting the final word. You want it and your wants are not able to always be met which causes strife. You view silence from those you bully against as your victory for shutting them up.

Yeah that. That's what I'm talking about. It's like a tantrum.

Pure emotional response to hopefully get one from others. You are a bully.

Consider me not in your head to understand your perspective and try to get it across clearly to me. No sarcasm or condescending tone.
I do not see how these are comparable and don't think of steam as a utility that owns the singular option for infrastructure as it's a digital service that others can and will spin up to avoid using Steams backend.
They literally don't have to.

And sure I am welcome to information if it is accurate and you have it.

You are acting like a bully because you are upset about something and have decided to take it out on the largest target you could find and anyone that doesn't agree with you, or your method of acting like a bully.

You think I'm wasting your time? Boy howdy do I have a mind blower for you.

You are wasting your own time. I can't do anything to it.

And you are being pretty good at wasting that and yourself already. Wasting time by not even bothering looking at yourself and your actions is gonna delay you a lot.
