Why don't more gaming companies take the Steam approach? Pretend it never happened. Seriously,credit card info and addresses were all leaked and everyone just doesn't care while steam brushes it under the rug. Why don't Sony and other corps who fuck up take this approach?
>>
Because most other companies don't have a fanbase that's willing to ignore these kinds of problems in order to defend the superiority of the brand they support.

Not only that but the Steam service has been getting worse and worse, costumer service is getting worse as well. Every decision Valve has taken on the last few years have been detrimental to it's users ultimately and yet Valve fans will still come out and say Steam is the only place left where consumers are treated well despite that not being the case for like 2 years now.

idk how thats possible since it has always been shit

Because steam didnt really drop significant info on anyone, as in, such little info no one could have gotten scammed out of it.
People were pissed, plenty of threads here about it.
No harm no foul i guess, i couldnt really care, not like ive got more than a few hundred dollars in that account.

Cause valve is one of the shadiest companies in video games, but unlike Ea or activision they have the most dumbass shills that try to sweep all their scumbag shit under the rug.

This is what happens when you hold a monopoly on a market.

How is that possible? its been garbage for awhile now. It hasn't changed and i don't think it could get any worse. I put in a ticket and got an automated response after 1 week then after saying i still needed help i had to wait another week and a day to finally resolve the issue because it required a human.

What? that was my first post in this thread you nigger, youre only proving my point that valve has dumbass shills that try to sweep their shadiness under the rug.

I'm an omni gamer, im just tried of valve getting away with their BS and i think they are dangerously playing with fire that could potentially cause pc gaming to have a crash in the near future.And there sure as fuck arent any fucking alternatives to steam which is why it'll cause a crahs, where the fuck we gonna go god damn origin
>>
>>323840395
Whats this id shit?
>>
it's quite obvious, it's an sjw agenda
the fact that valve doesn't make games anymore is simply based on sjw's having invaded and manipulated valve into not wanting videogames at all, they're a pool of patriarchy and sexuality so why would they make them and catch flak for it

basically, they're self-censoring their whole games from fear of SJW giving them a hard time if they do something remotely triggering in their games, and now valve caught on and is under SJW tumblrina control

hiding their fuck-up is only helpful for the SJWs at valve and steam, if nobody bats an eye they stay free to do as they please and gear this industry towards an SJW friendly environment

>>323841284
The fuck are you talking about? what does gog have to do with valve being a shady ass company? And gog is not an alternative and in the event that steam goes down gog will not be able to carry PC gaming on its back. Thats what MONOPOLY means, valve is in the majorityof the entire pc market right now and thats why they are deteriorating.

>>323841505
that doesnt change the fact that your being cucked not having a console and a pc,retarded brand allegiance is just holding games hostage from yourself.

I'm not saying it wasn't a big deal, but your sensationalist bullshit isn't helping your cause. The last 4 (or was it 2?) digits on your cc != credit card info being leaked. There is more sensitive information than this "leak" on your receipts.
>>

Are you talking about the recent cache problem? No credit card info was leaked you mongoloid
