!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I mean.... yeah?
steam is running a business and game devs are too.
if you develop games because it's a hobby, more power to you, but the platform you're using (steam) requires capital to operate.
And same with consumers. We aren't a charity throwing away money for no reason. We actively seek out discounts to get more for our money. We want discounts to be given priority.
sure, Karen.
The entitlement in these two words astounds me
are you certain it's entitlement?
If you're referring to how consumers were previously described, then I wholly agree. consumers should get what they paid for.
that said, if the price is too high for you don't complain. don't whine about it online. don't buy it.
I don't complain online, I wait for a sale to bring it into my buying range, it's entirely the business owners choice if I buy their product, that said that money represents hours of your life, why spend more than absolutely necessary when buying?
