Gaben is playing with policies he doesn't understand. Steam isn't a country, if he keeps this up it'll end badly.

I don't fucking get with PC users ones. They call Gabe out on paid mods then Gabe further puts himself in shit on reddit saying that the modding community will get better once money is involved. Now he is the Lord Savior again for back flipping.

The gaming industry is almost becoming worse than Hollywood. They are trying to charge us for literally EVERYTHING now. It's at a point where "full games" have basically become betas now.

At least Hollywood is starting to change by being less corporate. Gaming, on the other hand, seems to get more corporate by the years going by.
