So this...is the power of Steam....
Whoahh....
explain
>>344421545
I sincerely don't understand why Valve doesn't do a check on games before letting them go on sale on Steam.
All major retailers do some sort of quality control.

My guess is that Steam let a company known to essentially root itself into your PC's kernel, a huge privacy and security concern to just put its product up on Steam. They were also found out to have been using your PC to mine bitcoins for them, which is shady botnet bullshit.
>>344422032
They used to until they unleashed Greenlight upon the world, which basically meant they were washing their hands of any and all responsibility. There has been all sort of barely functional shit on Steam as a result, though I guess this is a new low since it's apparently actively malicious.
>>344422429
For all the money they make, you'd think they could have a few interns download the games they sell and play them for a few minutes to make sure they're not a total scam
>>344422032
It's true, there has never been a single virus in the entire history of Apple or Google's app stores. Every single program has been 100% functional and high quality.
>>344422687
>hey, other digital stores have been negligent in their due diligence so it's okay when Valve is negligent
/v/alvedrones, ladies and gentlemen
wowie this is the shadiest shit I've ever seen on steam

Calling me underage when you get this upset over dumb typing quirks.
I only ever see teens trying to act mature get this upset over them.

I vaguely get that it's some kind of Bitcoin-mining botnet or whatever, but what was this program supposed to do exactly?
I'm a bit confused here.

I don't think you understand.

matchmaking for what
>>344423450
ESEA uses a rootkit anticheat that runs on your system 24/7 even after you uninstall the software. Possible botnet. The owner is a complete retard and the bitcoin miner doesn't help.
It's a shame that there's no good alternative for pugs with faceit and cevo being shit.
>>344423997
CS GO
>>344423709
You're paying $9/month (plus bitcoin mining) for 128 tick CSGO match making server filled with global elite level of players.
>>344424080
and bitcoin mining is a bad thing how?
>>344424143
Not him, it "mines" Bitcoins, that digital currency thing, but it eats processing power on your computer and if left alone, shaves YEARS off your hardware.
>>344424143
No son you're mining bitcoin for ESEA

What.
>>344424143
It is when it's done unknowingly by people while destroying their computer, and being an information stealing botnet in the process.

>>344424552
they don't mine bitcoin anymore, but everything else hasn't changed
you're still giving up your system if you install it, it's a literal paid botnet
>>344422893
Not him but you must not have a good idea of how large businesses with large amounts of products to push and review work. I'll give you a hint; it's a large amount, and the higher volume it has to worry about the higher chance there is that something bad will get through.
Granted this should have been obvious as fuck, back when I played CS:GO me and my friends refused to use that shit because of the whole bitcoin sham we heard about. This should have been a huge red flag to them in the first place. So they fucked up pretty hard there.
But you're a retard yourself if you think any system is infallible. That's not how the world works, friend.
>>344422032
Valve doesn't give a shit about their store now
They'll let literally anything onto it
>>344424561
shut up weeb
>>344425124
cute
>>344422032
What do you need quality control for?
Are you one of those retards that just clicks around the store and buys random shit?
I bet you are the same retarded kid that made mommy buy games bases on the cover
>>344422032
>All major retailers do some sort of quality control.
Not really.
The government does some rudimentary quality control and that's about it. Retailers for the most part just assume everything is good and are generally not held liable for any issues with the third party products they sell even if there are problems.
Isn't this the thing that TeamGamerfood is always raiding?
>>344425256
>What do you need quality control for?
So I don't have to sift through mountains of shit like cat simulator to find a game that actually looks interesting
>>344422032
>quality control
>retailers
on what fucking planet you live?
>>344425415
then why do stores have warranty huh?
>>344425554
>uníronically clicking through the store until you find something to throw away money on
wow dude you are literally RETARDED
>large retail store carries an item that isn't very good
>you buy it without even any research or anything
>you blame the retail store for carrying that item and call for that retail store to close its doors and/or change its policies because how dare it sell a single subpar quality item among shittons of decent to good items
The responsibility is on you, consumers. God, I wish modern kids would understand this simple fucking idea.
>>344425619
Various reasons.
Sometimes it's a policy to encourage patronage, sometimes it's a legal requirement, sometimes the store will just tell you to go fuck yourself and contact the manufacturer if you have a problem with the product.
>>344425707
I don't get this thing
its not like regulations are full proof, but if I buy shit from vons, I don't have to worry about my pringles can being full of worms
even the 99 cents store has standards
there's a difference between a subpar item and a harmful one
>>344425707
This
I want every single video game ever, no matter how bad or good it is, to be on Steam, because I'm not fucking moron and know how to use it
You don't go "HURR I FEEL LIKE SPENDING MONEY LETS CLICK ON SHIT AND BUY SOMETHING LOL OH NO I DONT LIKE IT HOW COME NOBODY STOPPED ME"
>>344425663
How is searching for something using a tag retarded? Go and search basically anything and you'll get bombarded with indie shovelware
There should be a trash filter in the store.
>>344425962
>there's a difference between a subpar item and a harmful one
Explain to me how a video game has ever harmed you you fucking retard
Did it not display the reminder to put on your faggot helmet before you start playing?
>>344425619
>he thinks stores sell warranties as guarantees of quality rather than another way to make a quick buck off of idiots that will pay tons of extra money for something that is almost never used
Come on man.
>>344425554
What they need to do is fix their fucking search engine.
It's one of the worst search engines I've ever seen. It's broken, it's lacking even basic functionality and it has a terrible interface.
>>344426087
>has a bitcoin miner
>not harmful
if its just shit, its shit. If its got rootkits or whatever else people are saying, then its harmful you la-la man
