Valve is by far the worst and most greedy gaming company. They kept 75% of compendium money, Valve made more than 55Million dollars. Instead of giving it for tournament. They took 3/4 not even 1/4 or half of the compendium money. They make 0 games anymore., CS is Full of cheaters that its unplayable but they don't care at all. They rob me when i sell something on stream market. They have like 300 employees meanwhile other gaming companies like EA or Blizz have them in more then few thousands. But valve doesn't get any shit meanwhile EA gets it because its cool to hate on EA and leddit kids join in all on hate bandwagon.

>being a communist

Thats not a thing. But if you donate and buy something for a tournament and only 25% of it goes to actaully supporting a tournament thats greed.

>create the content that's actually selling the battle pass (nobody's buying it to "support esports")
>organize the event, rent the venue, and cover the international out of their own pocket
>pay the taxes on TI prize money, meaning the dollar amount you see on the battle pass page is exactly what the players are getting

Sounds like you're just salty that you got ripped off on the market; try not being an idiot next time.

you arent allowed to dictate what others do with their money. try again retard

Based Gaben scamming Moba and esports retards.

This is why we will all be in a mind gulag in 200 years where corporations like Valve will send messages directly into our brains. We will cease to be individuals and survive without their teet money.

Nice job faggots. You have no idea what you're doing.

If you think 1 corporation of 300 people making billions in virtual weapon textures is normal, you must has stockholm syndrome.

You forgot the part where they are THE ONLY REASON PC IS A VIABLE GAMING PLATFORM IN 2017.

Seriously would you rather google or MS be running the show here? CS and DOTA are shit games so what? don't play em?

TI is one of the best e-sports event if not -the- best one in the industry and it also has the highest prize pool. The bundle you call "donating" actually comes with a bunch of shit people buy for their game, not to actually add to the prize pool.

The 30% cut of the Steam store is standard. Apple takes a similar cut on their appstore and so does Google. Your post is starting to sound like a childish EA employee trying to deflect some of the hate because Valve has never done something as scummy as the current lootboxes, save for the paid mods fiasco that lasted for a day.

This is a safe space, OP.
Let me know how you really feel.

They are the lesser evil, just be thankful Microsoft isn't running the show

>CS is Full of cheaters that its unplayable but they don't care at all.

They just had an update today to try and combat cheaters. We'll see how it turns out.

Nah EA and Acti-Blizzard are the worst.

Valve is tame compared to EA and AB

It's worse than that
It's been almost 5 years, and the only game they're coming out with after grubbing money for those 5 years is a goddamn card game, a genre that encourages the spending of even more money

The open policy they have on developing games caused them to stagnate and just pursue the quickest ways to make money using sheep

Kids don't know Valve does stuff like employ their own team of driver developers because the GPU companies now don't really give a shit beyond consoles and mobile.

the VIDF appears

>Valve is tame compared to EA and AB
How is AB worse?

They hit the lottery in correctly figuring out how to abuse lootcrates. And Steam
I may be upset with them but they earned their finically security

>just pursue the quickest ways to make money using sheep
Except Valve is invested in the long term project of moving PC gaming to GNU/Linux to protect it from console makers and phone companies.
That's about as far from 'quick buck off sheep' as you can get.

The latest SteamOS Beta version came out just last week.

>They make 0 games anymore.

you say that like it was a bad thing. Better make nothing than keep shitting out awful games on a yearly basis.

For AAA developers the only way to win the game is by not playing it at all.

Well they're private company, Sup Forums likes it. Sup Forums says vulva wont fail and i believe Sup Forums.

not to mention that was steam that made indie games game hotline miami and FTL spread like wildfire.

Without steam things like humble bundle would never catch on. They may not directly produce games, but valve is today the pillar in the center of PC gaming.

You're right OP. Once a upon a time, Valve was good, but for years they've let their games rot with only the most minor of updates that most other devs would push out quickly, meanwhile Valve takes months to put them out. Hell, The vast majority of the content in "their" updates aren't even made by Valve, they're made by the community.

I could forgive Valve for this if they were some small time company, but with the huge piles of cash they bring in every day, it's really disgusting that they are so fucking lazy.

without valve pc gaming wouldn't have ever become popular, and we wouldn't have steam.

what has EA done for the gaming community?

nothing ever but make shitty sports games and be moneygrubby

>donate

When did they ask for donations?

I can afford to call you delusional, because when they finally do something in 2 years from now, I'll have forgotten about this post

This isn't about what Valve started. It's about what Valve is right now.
It's the pillar of the community because of what it USED to be. Don't move the goalposts.

you forgot killing several brilliant game studios and their franchises.

I will never forgive them for Westwood and Bullfrog

>dota
>wanted the fucking slark immo
>bought it when it was 80 on the market

I fucking myself for falling to these traps

valve or ea

>its about what valve is right now

The only reason i have weeb games on pc

Theyre still top tier compared to errything else

Fuck off AAA dicksucker

"If you donate and buy something for a tournament-"

You didnt donate shit. You PAID Valve for items, just like you pay in any OTHER game for items. And they told you upfront that 25% of ALL sales goes towards the prizepool. It was an INCENTIVE to buy more things from Valve, NOT a donation. Dont misrepresnt it just because you regret spending money, when you clearly knew and understood the terms. No one FORCED you to spend money on those items.

>It's about what Valve is right now.
>It's the pillar of the community because of what it USED to be.

I mentioned what Valve is today though.
They're a major PC gaming infrastructure company.
Valve employs the chief devs of SDL, an alternative to everything in DirectX except for Direct3D.
They have a team of developers dedicated to improving graphics drivers and aiding game devs, with a focus on RadV (third party AMD Vulkan driver) and Vulkan in general.
The Steam Platform Libraries, and SteamOS which builds off of them are still actively maintained.
Not to forget SteamVR which is another area where Valve is investing money to keep the technology going in the open and outside of the power of shitty companies.

If you want to know why Valve isn't investing heavily in new AAA games for Windows and is spending so much time and energy on GNU/Linux, read up on Windows 10 S.

>he spends over a dollar on in game cosmetic items

you need to either die or leave Sup Forums

are you retarded?

valve isn't a gaming company, they're a retailer

>Buy a cosmetic
>Sell it later
Woah.

>he plays the steam market like a stock market

i hope you lose all your money you fucking idiot

Thanks friend, I'll do that knowing you'll lose all yours with any other game.

>he hasn't made over $1000 steambux making obvious investments

lol?
