I think they’ll keep doing it until it essentially becomes a meme and we can all roll our eyes each time we see it.

Eh, they probably couldn’t find the sweet spot of putting forth minimal effort while making maximal profit off of people’s low standards.
I don’t really have sympathy for them because this game was most likely going to be more garbage on the pile.
No. Most sites don’t offer their own ways to download videos.
If you want to save videos, you can always use a browser addon. I use VideoDownloadHelper for Firefox and it allows me to download any video, even on Linux.

Anytime!
This is a good one.

This is how we fight back.
Yes, the issue is the low standards.
I’m a firm-believer that if there was a product that could compete with Steam, then people would use it of their own volition.
GOG is the only platform people ever willfully recommend to others without twisting their arms because of exclusives or deals. Why? Well, they have something Steam doesn’t. Epic, Blizzard, Rockstar, all of them have platforms that exist to do one thing: make rich people richer off of the backs of useful idiots.
Getting mad at Steam for having market dominance is asinine. Get mad at the market for rewarding bloated companies who put out garbage just to make themselves more bloated and the useful idiots who go along with it.
What? We still have useful idiots saying “X show is available on Y(netflix, apple, disney, amazon, etc) paid streaming service” instead of just giving a link to free streaming services like https://hydrahd.com/
Manufactured outrage is just that: manufactured. People get mad about things other people get mad about to fit in.
A company that makes a billionaire out of its owner is overcharging you, no matter how much you like the company or the owner.
I agree, but I think people who subscribe to this mentality should be focusing their efforts on more than just Valve.
Do you think you would get the same buggy mess if every single publisher had 30% more budget to work with?
Yes, 1000%.
Games are buggy because developers/publishers/players don’t care. Money has nothing to do with it and if they had more money, they would just pocket it and release garbage for people like you.
Sometimes, monopoly implicitly means a business that is so much better than the competition that the competition is pretty much irrelevant.
I think that used to apply to Steam.
Except there’s already a list of all the sites.
So how does an online list grouping them together make it significantly easier for law enforcement to take them down? For reference, there is already a list of free streaming sites; it’s the list in question. I’m merely mentioning adding further classification for duplicate streaming sites.
It’s sad watching the upvote ratios, but I can’t say I’m surprised. The internet is full of 🧩’s.
So what’s the problem with adding another group for duplicates?
Grouping them together in a list will not affect those logistics.
it’s not wise to put a everything in one since if something “happens” there will be no alternatives since…the sole source will be gone due to everything being grouped into the sole source.
Umm, what? It’s just a list grouping them together.
How are they going to identify the ‘sole source’ out of that?
I don’t think you know enough about copyright law to know whether or not an online list grouping them together will make it significantly easier for law enforcement to take them down.
So are you saying we shouldn’t group them together?

You’re right.
Scientific consensus is never wrong and it will never be wrong again.
My bad.
Yeah. Unfortunately the only developers that are allowed to release good products in this economic landscape are 1st party Sony devs.
Everyone else gets to profit off of people’s low standards.
