Gabe Newell is a scammer and belongs in federal prison for fraud.
Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
I hope artifact shcizo's resolution for new year is finally off himself.
Why do zoomers always think it's one guy? I've used that copypasta myself
If the Navy SEAL copypasta was made today, you'd probably think it's all one guy
In March 2018, Gabe Newell held a presentation on Artifact claiming there would be regular expansions, an eventual mobile release, and a $1 million tournament, all of which ultimately failed to materialize.
In August of that year, Gabe Newell repeated the claim of an Artifact tournament during the opening of The International: https://youtube.com/watch?v=X4xYOmUwad0
On March 30, 2020, Valve announced Artifact Beta 2.0, stating they planned for a closed beta (which happened), transitioning to an open beta and later full release (which didn’t).
On March 4, 2021, Valve formally abandoned Artifact. No expansions, no mobile version, no million-dollar tournament, not even something as basic as allowing users to invite friends to the beta like they said they would.
I'm still not sure what the federal crime is here
Or even the regular one
Was beta access a paid service or something that they just took the money when the project was cancelled?
It looks bad for steam sure but unless they embezzled money I still do not see a crime
60,746 users played Artifact at launch, it was one of the 100 best-selling Steam games of 2018, was nominated for Best Strategy Game at the National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers' awards, and was selected as Game of the Year by PCGamesN.

when is the Steam Deck oled going on sale. currently trying to sell this oled SHITCH on craiglist that i bought a week ago. laugh at me Ganker. point at me and fricking laugh.
Companies set their own discounts and companies are all struggling to please their israelite-- I mean their boards. Be prepared for discounts, cheap products and good deals to disappear forever.
steam sales have sucked for ages now. we didn't gatekeep hard enough, we brought in all the console rejects because you homosexuals couldn't stop gloating so now the console rejects buy games for non historic low prices because they see it's on sale and can't do any research.
>used to go down to 75% >took a year hiatus from all sales because of elden ring >now goes back to 50% >skips 2023 winter sale altogether
Frick these fricking israelites.
>dogshit steam sales BTFO by gog
if it's cheaper on gog then I can just pirate it and get a 100% discount. frick steam and frick valve right in the ass with these israeli af prices
>no fun event >just another year of clicking a page to get a sticker >another year of clicking through 8 pages to get a trading card
I want my in-game Christmas items back, Gabe.
>So the prices are bugged, right? >No fricking way the steam sale is THIS bad.
The absolutely state of consoomer valve wienerjockeys lmao. Steam sales have been objectively and absolutely dog shit the sale where they removed flash sales.
>Still can't remove stickers from your invetory
I understand not being able to sell them or turn them into gems. But at least, let me delete them.
Everything I see Hold in your farts I want to fricking delete this whole fricking account.
They would mass buy dozens upon dozens of random games (since they couldn't afford anything otherwise) and then mass refund everything they didn't actually like.
Obviously you should be allowed to refund products, but third worlders were basically gorging themselves on games and them vomiting refund requests onto steam the next day.
If there's a game I want I'll just pirate it, sad we live in an age where tech-illiterate zoomers and losers who care about their "steam profile" are so abundant, even on Ganker. >Game of the year edition + bonus soundtrack + all preorder bonuses + all DLC for FREE?
Thanks fitgirl!
>let publishers set their own prices free of interference from the store front because its "bad" to force greedy companies to sell their game with a 80% discount
>they keep them jacked up insanely high and rip off customers with 5-10 year old games that keep the same price they had at release
>First Call of Duty from 2003 base price at 20€ >NOW AT A 50% DISCOUNT! Get this 20 years old game for "mere" 10€!
CoD in particular is a ridiculous scam.

You're gonna be here forever aren't you?

Because one of is a copy pasta made as a clear joke and the other one is genuine autism? moron
>it's one guy posting it cause it's clearly one guy posting it
Stellar reasoning
Because it's hard to believe more than one person cares about Artifact. If people are just copypastrying it as a meme though that's funny
>Look up artifact 2
>Cant find any preorder shenanigans
So what was the crime here? A game you wanted a sequel too didn't get one?

nothing about this seems unprecedented for something that reached double digit playercounts
Because they didn’t open the beta like they said.
No, that seems like the logical trajectory of the trend

In a way. It was only available to people who owned the original Artifact and was never opened up like they said they would.
you need at least two players to play this shit game to have a tournament

more like Fartifukt
Mindbroken by Gaben.
Many such cases!
Keep up the good work Artifact schizo
I choose to believe you are a person and not a bot, nor people making this a meme.
I hope artifact shcizo's resolution for new year is finally off himself.
tbf we have a lot more schizos now
meant for
what a steal!
it’ll be on Gamepass for free soon, just wait
>Gamepass
>free
!
They already said they are definitely not doing Game Pass
they have game of the year, why would they kneel to consumers while the demand is high? lol.
its on gog, it couldnt be easier to get 4 free
>expecting a highly popular game that is going to sell anyway to be 80% off like 3 months after release
moron
first steam sale, eh?
wdym? dont be so antisemitic
when is the Steam Deck oled going on sale. currently trying to sell this oled SHITCH on craiglist that i bought a week ago. laugh at me Ganker. point at me and fricking laugh.
>Oled handheld
>The dock has an ethernet port but why buy oled handheld anything if you're gonna dock it to begin with
Lololololol
But Switch has 13 sentinels, Mario Wonder, Bayonetta, Live A Live, Animal Crossing, Mario 3D World, Pikmin 4, the list goes on and on and on...
I can play those on PC white the tendies seethe.
Most of those games are mid trash and literal toddler games lol. Steam Deck can play h-games. It just wins.
Good prices on my end. I'm getting 100% off of everything.
Companies set their own discounts and companies are all struggling to please their israelite-- I mean their boards. Be prepared for discounts, cheap products and good deals to disappear forever.
Can we just have one day without antisemitism on this board for the love of god
When we have one day without israelites being israelitey.
wow another sale where all the deals are -50% off
amazing deals thank you steam thank you gaben let me slurp up your shit
>flash sales died so that you can fret over whether or not you should refund a game that turns to shit four hours in
thanks Australia
I hate this shit
>over 9000 euro dollars
Wut
>Mutt doesn't know
>AAA shit has no real discount
what a shocker
steam sales have sucked for ages now. we didn't gatekeep hard enough, we brought in all the console rejects because you homosexuals couldn't stop gloating so now the console rejects buy games for non historic low prices because they see it's on sale and can't do any research.
No its the Flash Sale whiners that fricked everything up. We would have still had those kino sales if they just became neets
>50% off a $60 game that’s over 10 years old
>AGAIN
My wallet is saved once again.
sekiro has the same discount since fricking 2020 glad I pirated that shit
SERIOUSLY FRICK THAT SHIT!!!!!!!!! HOW HAS IT STILL NOT DROPPED??? AND AT FULL PRICE IT COSTS WAYY TO MUCH SO EVEN WITH A 50% DISCOUNT IT'S A RIP OFF
lmao now check dark souls. From is fricking moronic, just pirate it
>used to go down to 75%
>took a year hiatus from all sales because of elden ring
>now goes back to 50%
>skips 2023 winter sale altogether
Frick these fricking israelites.
>he didn't buy it at 75% off
NGMI
They even removed the 50% discount on Dark Souls Remastered for owners of the original one, its at full price now
Still worked for me on xbox a week ago when I bought it
You have to wait for everything to update. It isn't going to be mind-blowing though, 90% off on alot of great games is a thing of the past.
>dogshit steam sales BTFO by gog
if it's cheaper on gog then I can just pirate it and get a 100% discount. frick steam and frick valve right in the ass with these israeli af prices
>no fun event

the FROM tax is real. no discount for from soft paypiggies
Are you pretending to be moronic? Seriously, I want a legitimate honest non-meme response. I don't understand you people.
Short of piracy, STOP LOOKING AT STEAM!
https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/armored-core-vi-fires-of-rubicon
why are you getting mad at me bro. sometimes I like to own the game too. not at these prices though
Sorry to bother you good sir, carry on. Have a Merry Christmas.
Seems like a shady key website, no thanks brah
I didn't ask what it seemed like.
>10% discount
>shady black market key reseller
that shit is an insult. it's more honest to charge full price than to offer this dogshit -13%
glad to hear, bro.
Not even worth pirating.
steam is growing bigger each year
why would prices go down lol?
pay up, b***hes
Timmy was right
Frick timmy gon do?
When do the flash sales usually start?
>So the prices are bugged, right?
Yes. Don't know who is Gabe Newell trying to fool
>donates your money to the Democrats
nothing personal, chuds.
The Democrats are based though.
>2023
anon........ the democrats arent racist anymore.... theyre not based...
playstation store sale prices are also fricking bad this year
inflation is fricking up everything
PS sales were never particularly good. Steam sales used to be
ITT:
THE CONTRACT WAS PRICEY PC AND CHEAP GAMES
WHERE ARE MY CHEAP GAMES NOW???? WHY ARE ALL GAMES 70 DOLLARS WHY???
>having games
pc 1 consoles 0
By "cheap games" we meant piracy. Sorry you had to find out this way.
>30% cut
>game is 70$
>15% cut
>game is 70$
take my money gaben, buy yatchs
gaben tongues my anus
Why are you giving this fat frick money. You fricking idiot.
Seethe about it, jeet.
>Still can't remove stickers from your invetory
I understand not being able to sell them or turn them into gems. But at least, let me delete them.
Everything I see Hold in your farts I want to fricking delete this whole fricking account.
reminder steam sales haven't been good since like 2011
I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed.
Not even trading cards this time? Damn.
Steam sales have been shit ever since russians and other subhuman thirdies abused the lightning sales back in the day and got them removed.
>abused the lightning sales
elaborate
They would mass buy dozens upon dozens of random games (since they couldn't afford anything otherwise) and then mass refund everything they didn't actually like.
Obviously you should be allowed to refund products, but third worlders were basically gorging themselves on games and them vomiting refund requests onto steam the next day.
sounds moronic as frick and most likely made up
Yeah, I've seen some of the shit anons have been buying and these prices are outrageously bad. Imagine paying 15 euros for fricking a hat in time
ZAAMN
Destroy all humans worth it ?
I played the shit out of the original and have heard the remake is pretty faithful and even adds some new content.
Steam Sales aren't for browsing the Steam store. They're for browsing the key sites.
>no dark souls sale
i die of cringe
So how do you use the seasonal badge to level up?
If there's a game I want I'll just pirate it, sad we live in an age where tech-illiterate zoomers and losers who care about their "steam profile" are so abundant, even on Ganker.
>Game of the year edition + bonus soundtrack + all preorder bonuses + all DLC for FREE?
Thanks fitgirl!
any single player mmo style game ? I want comfy grind, 3rd person view, dress up
Ff14 is free to play up to stormblood you can play the entire msq solo with some other bots. Comfy game, play dress up, just get used to morons.
>sekiro is still 50% off
Ffs its a 4yr old game why the frick is it still priced same as Elden ring which is a 2yo game?
I finally broke down and just bought keys. Lower than Steam sale ever had anyway
You didn't buy the game.
It just works. 4 games for less than 20 bugs
It always takes an hour or so for the prices to all update properly. Never buy shit right after the sale starts.
>let publishers set their own prices free of interference from the store front because its "bad" to force greedy companies to sell their game with a 80% discount
>they keep them jacked up insanely high and rip off customers with 5-10 year old games that keep the same price they had at release
This wouldn't be necessary if that fat frick Gaben didn't take 30% cut with his monopoly!!
japanese publishers and devs are discount averse
>2016
Black Ops 2 is 11 years old and still $60 without any DLC.
With all DLC it's $100.
>First Call of Duty from 2003 base price at 20€
>NOW AT A 50% DISCOUNT! Get this 20 years old game for "mere" 10€!
CoD in particular is a ridiculous scam.
how do people not have the good games on steam yet? its not like steams getting any more good games coming. you should have bought them all by now.
>its not like steams getting any more good games coming
We're getting all the good Playstation ones soon 😉
like what? spiderman? bloodborne? theyre not in this sale
