Yeah. Bethesda games are bad. Nobody plays them. They don't sell. They aren't appreciated by critics and players. They are totally unsuccessful and aren't remembered after years. Yeah.
Nice move. There's a lot of good software out there. It could really benefit from a wider audience. We could have lower prices, better deals and less silly DRM
The EU ruling will affect not only digital download platforms, but the whole DRM scheme of limited activations. It's a revolutionary change. We'll see if publishers and digital platforms are willing to comply or face legal controversies and class actions.
A lot of wonderful indie games don't make it to Steam because Valve employees aren't able to tell gems from shit. More power to gamers will correct that.
No hate here, I just think that Valve is an overrated company. There are a lot of other companies out there making wonderful games, some of them better than Valve's. But it's a matter of personal taste and opinion.
