Because it was never "on topic" to begin with. The OP just wanted to rant about Valve and try to propose the grand conspiracy of them to rule the PC market and like ruin gaming for everyone. You know, like women tried to until those valiant gamers took charge!

No it was. Many of the first responses were Valve could do no wrong and that is how the few posters you continued to post usually kept on thinking. Regardless the other discussion has much more value in thinking and many over there have not said much in high regardations of Valve Corporation.

It may actually have been the idea of Zenimax and not Valve to do these mods and there is merit for the hands off approach just like there is some merit for the hands on approach.

Valve does not exist in a vacuum and I think this video sums it up with accuracy in how Valve is existing in the PC Games industry.

Not sure I'm interested now that they are getting personal.

Honestly if trolling or not I do not care if I get made to look like a dumbass but when stuff is constantly made personal then I do not have much care for it.

So you lie about a guy's family?

You are beyond worthless. Worthless implies neutral worth but you are parasite on society and your family.

No one made you look like a dumbass, I just comes naturally to you. :D

Quite frankly I am sorry for any misunderstanding of my own but it is not a shameful thing to be sorry at all.

Honestly not sure how many times I have ever seen you say sorry to me or someone else.

And no apologies do not give you the win.

But if you were Christian you might understand that.

Who is the one that said a lie if they knew it? I doubt you are going to go after any one other than me cause it is easy for you. I am basically not going to care about fighting this issue right or wrong with you because it is not worth it.

The lack of commentary on your part. See, when you throw up a link it's common to make a comment on how this video or link adds to your point. All you do is throw up a link. The other readers of the thread have absolutely no idea, or whom or what you are responding to. Then when we comment on the link, you respond back with your typical" that's not the point I was making with that link!!M!!!!!"
It's like you have no idea how to properly communicate about anything.

Exactly. I wasted 10 minutes of my life waiting for the video to get to something relevant to this thread and it never did.

No it wasn't. This is just more of same gaming outrage that ends up being senseless, much like so much of the shit you've been going off about. And like I've said before some of the times you actually have valid complaints but because you do such a terrible job at actually voicing them that it just looks like more of the same nonsense.

I've stated many times, even before all this that I don't even particularly like Valve so again you just keep jumping to conclusions. Funny thing is um, isn't that exactly what I was saying with the post you quoted? "Nuh-uh, I totally had a point and wasn't just ranting about Valve, now let me rant about them some more!" Seriously do you fucking listen to yourself?

I have no idea why you're linking that? That's the problem you just keep listening to Youtube talking heads instead of using your brain to think about things. Actually stop and think before you post and for fuck's sake actually read what other people post too. It's clear you're not doing either of those things.

Actually he does quite a good job of explaining everything. Honestly this is the first time I have ever watched this much Jimquisition. I could count on my hand how many times I had ever watched anything from him earlier and think I only ever watched one video to then end from him. Was the one about him testing out an early access game where you wake up in a zombie medical building or something and he could not do anything or even get out of the starting area.

This is when he talks about Valve but it makes even more sense when it is put into context with the rest of the video about EA and the video game industry.

Ok? I don't know who that is and I still don't know why you linked that video. I have very little interest in listening to talking heads and almost none at all with regards to gaming bloggers. Actually that brings up something I don't like about Steam, and that's the Curators crap. I don't care what some Youtuber thinks, if I did, I'd go watch them verbally jackoff on Youtube.

You didn't ask a question you jobless 27 year old. You didn't comment you worthless waste of oxygen. You lied about me and my son.

While you are talking about me, you are sitting in a house you don't pay for, wearing clothes you didn't buy and typing on a computer you didn't purchase. You want to lie about me but the truth about you is the sad part. You claim to be a genius but your posts show no logic.

Have you ever even touched a boob?

Anyone wanna give the tl;dr version of the current argument? 15 pages is too much for me.

Also valve backed down on the modding thing. You can bet your ass EA or Ubisoft wouldn't have done that! Valve aren't perfect but at least they admit when they fuck up.

Lots of bickering all over the place as far as subjects.

Already have said that quite a few times now.

Lots of butthurt and incomprehensible nonsense replies from norseamd. Norse tries to get personal with Rudeguy and says something insulting about him based on something he remembered incorrectly. Rudeguy gets mad. Norse mistakes criticism for the way he links non-sequitur videos without relevance with criticism of the video or its presenter and tries to defend said video or presenter (the criticism was of YOU, norseamd, and it is YOU who you should explain if they are wrong).
