Steam Awards is a bit janky sure, but to say that their inability to run pointless awards properly ruins the convenience and value that Steam brings to its users would be a gross overstatement.

Damn i only have EG and Gog accounts because of the free games... and Ubisoft because of the AC (except ~~Valhalla~~, fk that), series .

No they don’t care about the service, we should be able to play games without steam client, we should be able to resell digital games, developers should not had to pay $100 non refundable fees to upload one game each time, etc.

Steam cares about money, it’s just that simple.

They're a business, not a charity. OF COURSE they care about money. What's nice is that they do it ethically and in a consumer-friendly way.

Are you able to resell digital games on Nintendos platforms? What about playstation or xbox? Wow, no you say?

[–] firecat@kbin.social -1 points 10 months ago

Neither in steam, the keysellers are scams and the developers can scam you with the key. You don’t own the game, Nintendo lets you own games in physical format and has never let publishers remove them.

The steam awards has paragraphs?

Only write-ups I could see was for the description of the award. I don't remember if the games had write-ups during the voting period though.
