    They don’t make games

    DOTA and CS beg to differ. Spotify is a “storefront” that produces nothing but has about 25x more employees.

      And valve contracts out or has the developers and publishers self moderate their own pages on Steam instead. Why is this shocking? Because a company contracts out instead of employing people and has their customers do stuff for free…?

          How does a discussion have a loser? I was adding how valve has such a low employee account since it apparently wasn’t clear to anyone currently in the discussion.

          Take offense that they legit have issues publishing any games due to their corporate structure…

          But I was only adding to the discussion, why do you need to “win”? They have their customers moderate their store pages and they contract out employees instead. Can you provide polite discourse to this topic without being an ass or no?

              Well people are claiming valve is making loads of games and don’t have issues with their structure. So I’m providing evidence to counter these clearly wrong opinions. Isn’t that what you do? Support your claims with evidence instead of screaming and yelling like the other users are doing and provide nothing meaningful to the conversation…?

              Do you guys not like proof to show that you are wrong or something? I get it valve is being bashed and you don’t like it, so why is everyone derailing conversations about the topic…? People can’t discuss stuff that you don’t like or something….?

                Hey, you do you. I just want to give you the feedback that when you repeatedly post something as blatant as a full page screenshot, it really stands out, especially on mobile. It might give off some fanatical vibes (in the original sense of the word).

                Do with that what you will.

                  You’re reading far into shit, you think you are adding to the discussion here?

                  There were three chains that got started from my comment, so those three have that information to support the points I was making and people were counterpointing with no supporting evidence, which by all definitions is textbook trolling. These are all upvoted heavily but one. I supported my claim, with evidence from them themselves saying they sucked at making games because of their corporate structure.

                  The other is my original comment, to provide the original context since people were fanboying downvoting my comment since I sinned against lord Gaben.

                  So again, I was having a normal discussion, now some trolls are for some reason telling me that having a discussion isn’t okay? Some person literally told me to take the L and move on. People seriously think “discussions” need to be won? Thats fucking trolling dude lmfao. I supported my claim to show I wasn’t trolling about saying they suck at releasing games. That’s not a false claim despite the amount of users shouting otherwise.

                  Get a life buddy. Why is someone defending their point from trolls somehow at fucking fault? Yeesh.
