You just said that if steam goes down there would be a shit period
guys stop bullying gioni he just doesnt want to get stabbed by crack-addict former software engineers
yes, but that's a physical impossibily for all of steam to go down
if valve collapses another company could just buy it's servers and return it to operational status
if steam fails, the data on the servers won't just magically dissapear from brokeness
It could kill the company
yes
"steam" and "money runs out" are incompatible
steam dies, another company merges (most likely epic), steam returns to operational status
If the wrong people take over
Valve won't die
||They have CS market place||
It can very much happen
then we get scammed
this isnt ancient china
but steam will continue working
gaben will appoint successor who knows what they're doing
you can still have your games, we'll just have a worse experience
So a government should trust gaben on not to shit on the industry completely
i got spookier
That would definetly not backfire
what do you want the government to do?
like genuinely
what WOULD you do?
the government should put more focus on fixing inflation
WHAT LAWSUIT?
gaming isn't that important
TO DO WHAT?
the United States Government should make their own games platform called Capitol
the government should push out a tf2 update like damn please do something
The shit lawsuit
LMAOOO
They made a lawsuit in steam for being a monopoly
split valve? ok? the problem doesn't change
if you split the game making valve from the marketplace valve, you will still have marketplace valve
schizo in chat
chat flooding in the meme channel
which is exactly the same as current valve
Reduce the amount of influence so others can do their own things
thanbk you
hi orange people
steam has ZERO influence on other stores
it's just GOOD
but seriously guys im just saying breach MP pvp gamemode on gmod (which literally feels like SCP SL but with more stuff and in gmod) makes me realize how much more SCP SL could be
You just said that if steam goes down all the other stores would be able to rake over
you are autistic
SL sucks anyways
I think thats
Kinda influetnial
what games would capitol publish
hello spooky joumn (I think im the only orange person here)
I'm talking customers, dumbass
there's a guy called "I HATE ORANGE PEOPLE" but hello to you as well
Yah what else could they take over
other companies would take the customers that are no longer being served by steam
my nuts? iunno what fuckshit you on about
America's Army was a series of first-person shooter video games developed and published by the U.S. Army, intended to inform, educate, and recruit prospective soldiers. Launched in 2002, the game was branded as a strategic communication device designed to allow Americans to virtually explore the Army at their own pace, and allowed them to determ...
i love when gioni is in a conversation saying normal things
like EVERY other company does
same way lockheed martin influences texas instruments
and makes literally everyone confused
Yeah and what competition is there for valve
EPIC
Except 3 other huge copmanies
Who the shit even uses those
gog
yeah and lockheed martin has made every fighter jet in the united states since the f-16 but I don't see you bitching about that
??
just cause a company is big doesn't mean it's a monopoly
do fortnite cosmetics count in that?
no it's store only
fortnite is owned by epic so it's possible
Lockheed ain't the only one
fn purchases don't go through epic store
Making planes
fighter jets, yes they are
Worst example posible
lockeed makes the F-16, F-22, F-35
but they been on goverment contract
Can't companies use epic if steam blows up
The rafale the mirage the mig the suhoi the Js the eurofighter
does the US use any of those?
itch is great
yes
that's right, fucking no
indie devs love itch
just cause a company is big doesn't mean it's a monopoly
I never said that
I can hear him giggling behind his keyboard
i dont buy games on epic because the ui is trash
Gioni Drip:
but I genuinely can't tell if he's trolling if he's actually autistic
i prefer gog to epic tbh
gog is not a launcher
it is
is it?
it is
yeah gog galaxy
i've literally never heard of this before
i thought you meant g2a mb
what's gog galaxy?
Used gog for a while
gog's launcher
what's on gog
It has some features better than steam
why?
All i said was steam is a monopoly and if it goes down the industry would suffer a lot from it, so the lawsuit they got was good because it did something about the situation
I never said anything else
like what?
Idk why you're so mad at me
the lawsuit isn't even going to do anything
You can Launch any executable from its launcher
isnt gog free of dmr
And it raised some awareness
i think it was
It's nice having everything in the same place
the lawsuit wants to get rid of steam's equal pricing guarantee, which ensures steam doesn't get scammed by people selling steam keys for less on other stores
You can on steam too
Add non-steam game in library
I'm talking about the one that sued steam for being a monopoly
where is this from this is great
Ok. I guess I still don't know steam
I got it from another discord like I do most of my videos
it did nothing
It did bring awareness
what games does gog have? everything like steam?
the 30% "overcharge" is just steam's operating costs + profit
every store, even physical takes a cut
๐
yeah pretty much
gioni
maybe not so many indie games tho
you keep saying lawsuit
could you source it then please
I can't find it
but you haven't posted the link for the lawsuit
please provide sources
megadingus posted one for something that happened in the UK
where people were overcharged
and it was another bullshit lawsuit
is it a big company? never heard of gog before.
thank you
he's now saying this is the wrong lawsuit
its pretty big google them
price parity
https://tenor.com/view/zero-two-anime-gif-11421714
Nah I know what gioni is thinking
the lawsuit is PRICE PARITY
Just speaking for him
crazy cheap
i got all the metro games for free from epic games
quick explanation of price parity:
steam forces you to set the same price on every store you sell your game on, including steam
this is so steam would have a fair chance at being the source of purchase
this isn't a monopoly, this is ensuring you don't get fucked over by developers
exodus too?
looks like a cool company and their refund policy is very lenient
this "excessive" charge of 30% that valve takes, is because valve handles EVERYTHING that your game needs
bruh
i have exodus on steam though
THIS WAS WHAT THE LAWSUIT IS ABOUT
The Steam storefront. (Screenshot via store.steampowered.com) A new class action lawsuit alleges that Valve Software is a โplatform monopolistโ that has
which i payed full price for
oh, i didnt even know it was that good
30 days is crazy
again, price parity
I'm gonna pay you a visit tonight
is the game good
The word monopoly doesn't exist....
I finished the game it was good
valve does a LOT of server side stuff for games and manages downloads, this shit is expensive which is why it takes 30%

Unpopular opinion: valve is not a monopoly people just use it because other game launchers suck
the story was lackluster?
I liked it when I played it but it's nothing amazing
im gonna cry if that happens
peak cinema
but it's true
Hi I just had a thought and im gonna post it here completely unrelated to what is going on but a side profile of the new guard model smiling would go hard for this one
Who are you trying to convince
kind of
steam is just the objective best option
Like who is that directed at
not a monopoly
YOU
How do the 2 have anything to do with each other
there it is
Did i ever say steam is bad and the others are good lmao
Both are related because it affects where users will go
I said steam is controlling the market so hard that other small companies stand no chance against it
And if steam dies
There would be a big problem for the industry
Then epic
Could the smaller ones handle the situation?
yes
yes
yes
Yos
Can the games and people who depend on steam survive the time it takes to move on epic?
Ye
No they just provide a good service other launchers like epic, ea, and ubisoft launcher suck
IVE FUCKING HAD IT WITH THIS CONVERSATION
NINE ROPES, POLARIZED LIGHT, CROW AND DECLARATION BETWEEN FRONT AND BACK. HOLLOW. PURPLE.
https://tenor.com/view/gojo-gojo-satoru-hollow-purple-sukuna-mahoraga-gif-13503454303453550028
man ubisoft launcher is probably the worst game launcher. it's extremely buggy
Yeah, there's nobody who wants to make a good competitor to steam
Only reason ea and epic have their own launcher is because then they have more control and ease of acces to it
gamers would crowd fund steam 2.0

I'm broke yall could you guys just give me 20 dollars
sorry im also broke
this argument is pointless because steam wont die any time soon
Nobody except epic is even trying to go after steam
good
Then how is steam a monopoly
Let's change the subject to the root cause of gionis problems. Capitalism is bad because it leads to corporatism
It's so infulential nobody wants to compete against it?
who else likes steam
That's like
nah bro I spent my last 10 on a bottle of jager, sorry
What a monopoly is
no that's not what a monopoly is
False.... capitalism is the only way you can avoid corporatism.....
damn
I love communism and anarchy
we should bring back duels to the death instead of lawsuits
That is not a monopoly, a monopoly is where you actively try to buy and do whatever to stomp out competition no matter how small
the fuck?
so called anarchists when I kill their entire family and let them bleed out in the street (suddenly they want medical help)
Monopoly means controlling the a market
monopoly is bankrupting your little sibling and making them cry because you win and they lose
yeah exactly
trading out 7 of your properties for one land spot
The stomping part is just a crime
only to go bankrupt 3 moves later
is this game evil?
Communism is when I take two popcorns from your bowl then hand them to you and take you bowl
I don't think yall know what a monopoly is
now this is peak
I don't think you do either
We can agree to disagree
gioni is that one dude I see swinging into 4 level 200 knights in mordhau
have a good eat
lardy
wtf
I could go for a calzone right now
I don't know what that means
"welcome to the bread store. We sell bread, we sell loafs. Toasted. Roasted."
Like i said a monopoly is trying to do whatever to stay on top and buy out and stomp competition not being the most popular service
we need to bring back Romanesque
that's okay
What
this game has ruined many fine evenings
jorkin depenis
Can I ask. What causes exist for steam to crash
jd hasn't confirmed if this is fake. the possibility is there
at least currently on this day there would be no reason
like the app or company?
there exists a universe where our president is jorkin depeanus vance
Company
praying that's our universe
If Valve goes then steam goes
world war 3
I don't think even world war 3 could take down valve
why can't it be this one
unless their headquarters are hit by a nuke
yeah I'm sure they have a nuclear proof server room somewhere
lmao
And backups
it's ok guys if steam dies we have roblox 
they have servers in most parts of the world I think?
Monopolies get created when rules are broken
Uh
There's laws for a reason
roblox still operates like it's in a nuclear winter
roblox is cursed
roblox spending 20 dollars out of their multi billion dollar budget on servers
i don't touch that with a 10 foot pole
cart ride into 17 pregnant hyenas
Why do you know that...
I don't think valve will go because of financial struggling before it's costumers will move to other Launchers
... like what rules?
morals?
I saw an image where there was a just stop oil protest in that game
cart ride into 17 not-pregnant hyenas
my friend convinced me to play roblox recently and she just kind of said "cart ride into 17 pregnant hyenas" and added no other context
so i looked
i'm buying a big mac with ya'll
she knows what peak is
Its not perfect
that's a game, yes.
windows's got what... 70% market share?
it's appeared in my recommend for whatever reason
But it's doing good
Nice
I trust her taste in gaming (kind of)
no, god no
Good that valve won't go then
It's going better as time goes by
my mental health is doing better than anti-monopoly laws and I'm a fucking alcoholic
there is no actual solution to monopolies outside of morals
I think it's way better now
and not even that will work
Laws?
better yes, but it'll never be solved
what law would stop amazon?
Let's be honest here; Roblox moderation still sucks. I've seen a bunch of borderline NSFW games on the recommended page. Let's not forget the cosmetic market, which is absolutely horrible.
And punishing who doesn't respect them?
what series of words would stop amazon?
like we do that
big tiddy shirt on roblox is still for sale
roblox is ass
don't play it
The same laws that stopped coal giants in the past
motherfuckers will drink a bud light a day and call themselves alcoholic
As time goes by
you mean the ones that pivoted to oil?
One monster a day and say they're diabetics
get out
Who took the pixels

god I wish
I can't try develop a discussion with a nihilist
your hair looks like ass
It's over
you can, but you can't ignore the fact that anti-monopoly laws havent' fixed anything
they have made the appearence of helping
They have

@sand oriole If you wanna monopoly example search up Microsoft, Embrace, Extend, Extinguish stratgy they used in the early 2000s
We still use slavery. Just not here
that's besides the point
we just keep the slavery low-key
debatable
You can't say there's no improvement
no, we're arguably worse
ELON MUSKS 3 ๐ TO SUCCESS:
- slavery
- slavery
- child slavery
yep
sure there's LESS monopolies but the monopolies that do exist have more control than ever
Not good
we're regressing
what are you guys discussing
rapidly
capitalism and monopolies
feet
wait
feet?
does this count as political talk?
https://tenor.com/view/jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-jjk-fight-jjk-fighting-gojo-gif-15967256988010385725
yeah
I wouldn't say so but that's up to each of us
obviously
NATHAN I'M SORRY
Crying about big companies ain't politics
Smh
PLEASE DON'T PUT US IN IMAGE ONLY MODE
Yes it is
it literally is
??
money is politics and more
Money is economics
One time playable games
it's still politics
Politics is where there's disagreements
Meme chat having the most mature discussion out of every channel once again
What the fuck
blame gioni
So true king
Yes for example: amazon for delivery, google for search, apple for the smartphone ecosystem, microsoft for the desktop OS share.
bolitics bore me
your politics bore me
yeah cause only intellectuals gather in meme zone

Linux and edge are actually used doe
what do you guys think of pineapple on pizza? is it a sin?
I use Linux because I hate windows
never tried it
windows has 70% market share, edge is chrome based
edge?????????? ๐คค๐คค๐
its for people who like their pizza sweet I think
It's chrome but square
๐ฃ๏ธ
I use edge for pdfs
this is fucking loss
change your default browser please
Linux is only 4.5% and edge is based on chromium which is owned by google the only good browser without chromium is firefox
a fellow ๐ค
he speakin facts tho
What do you mean itโs lost? I see it right there
It's joogle
Use Linux and Firefox to maximize your "I'm nothing like y'all ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ"
But i prefer edge for pdfs
for PDFs too, not just search
fair enough
Pdf view ui on chrome is unappealing
pdf files
Okay bro
idk I just use word
I use edge because of its rewards program.
now THIS is stupid
They give rewards?
I use chrome because that's where I've got adblock working
minimal
I use Firefox and Linux because I am
Like what
I have no reason to
One robux
I just do it
cents per day, like fucking robux
free robux
when chrome shoots ublock i will change to opera or some shit idk
In exchange for the rewards you have your personal data sold
Get out
isn't that every browser
To get free robux you're better off looking for money on the ground at night
i haven't found one that doesn't sell your personal data yet
that's basically every browser you use
yeah atp idc who steals my data
Do so, adblock is always justified
I use firefox, don't want to use linux cause some school programs are incompatible with linux
ik damn well everyone does
so what's the point
tor ig
They're already making money off my data, no need for ads
what is tor
That still sells your info
Except TOR librewolf ungoogled chromiun
A web browser
Just to the FBI
I mean ads are ok as long as they're not as invasive as they got
And you are extremely insignificant to them
The Internet is never private; your data is sold everywhere. It's hard to avoid.
Unless you do like, extremely illegal shit, they don't care
it's a nonprofit, why the fuck would they collect data
I like would like ads if they weren't so malicious
or if they appealed to me at all
The CIA made it bro
To profit
The CIA made tor
but they don't
Tf you expect from a CIA funded browser
and? the feds also made the internet
Yes
What
No
The browser itself does not collect data unless you got to certain websites that track you or you log in to services
just cause the feds invented something doesn't mean it's ratted
Or wait
reject windows, embrace templeOS
The internet started as public property
they invented it* sorry, worded it poorly
Which to say government
Mystical fumble
the feds invented the internet, they didn't actually build it
which is literally like almost everything: yt, gmail, etc.
Fumbled your balls

stop.
Stupid fucking ๐๐ฉ๐ป emoj
I need to speak to her
Speak to me instead 
So i guess we moved from jjk to the zero 2 thing
it's hard being a sigma in a world of betas
Yea but the browser software i listed by itself does not collect it until you connect to a website
@obsidian hollow
No, this cannot be forgiven

Cry all you want you're still gonna get punished no phone and no sweets for a week
I understand, but it's still unavoidable, even if the browser itself doesn't collect data. At some point, you will need to access those services.
Next time don't talk about balls online
no balls
That's better

oh ill give you something to slide

so real
thanos smoking a giant fucking blunt
Green aura with flies
open tor on my arch virtual machine
turn on mullvad VPN
send email using protonmail
purge virtual machine
Real puffa
Yes the only way out is if you host those services yourself yet it requires work and not everyone has time to do that also you got your internet provider and no a vpn wont protect that. The only thing you can do is minimize the data collected which is what i do
fuggit, make your own ISP
That is basically what you can do at that point, yes.
under 5 different VPNs
using tor
2 proxies
contact CIA, telling them they will be executed
record the whole process and stream it online
Terry Davis, the legend
real
cigars are cool on special occasions
terry davis was a goat
feds couldn't handle such uncontrollable swagger
Chain smoking makes you cool
I was unfamiliar with your game, I apologize.
only if it's expensive cigarettes
chain smoking cuban cigars is baller as fuck
Inhaling them however, will cripple you
Yea i looked into doing that and it cost as much as a house to set it all up for a year
privacy is expensive

objectively this is the best kind of pizza
Ah drunk

Never saw that word being used for that
Ain't that the thing you put in molds
no, the best pizza is whatever the local pizza restaurant makes but I can't say the name of the place or I'll doxx where I live
