Actually, the moths cost extra.
You got some of them moths??
Steam being a US-based company kinda put a damper on my willingness to shell out the moolah for games I might not even play ...
GOG is my go to. Still have a huge steam library from before but my future purchases are going there.
...and which you don't actually own.
TBH for me, between the sales and the Linux compatibility it's still worth it even if I'm effectively renting the games.
What about the time they tried to implement paid mods with Bethesda?
They've tried, they've listened, they've not gone forward with the implementation, apologized and refunded and everyone else moved on.

Except they didn't apologize and according to them adding paid mods was not a mistake, their mistake was starting with skyrim. I think it's funny how enamoured people are with steam to the point of misremembering what really happened.
That's not great, but it's not 'company thriving under a very literally fascist regime'-bad.
There is too much on the backlog for this bullshit
What is that third representation of money? Paper bills, credit card and [???]. Is it a ring?
It's a wallet
Thanks, now I feel silly for not recognizing it.
That's a wallet containing 50€ notes
Thank you, don't know how I didn't recognize it.
I'm going to play all those games! Really! Some day.
Im saving up for retirement!
I wonder if we get a Steam Deck 2 by then.
Jokes on you I have no money left and huge backlog!
But this indie game is only 50p and so is this one and this one and this one...
My rule is I can't buy a game unless I am going to play it that same day.
Even in cases where the rule causes me to miss a sale and end up buying the game later, I'm sure it still saves me money, and - more importantly - saves a tremendous amount of regret and stress caused by buying games that would just sit my library unplayed.
I've been making a huge dent in my library since last year. I've fully completed over half of my 200+ library. I shouldn't, but will probably get some new games to add to the decreasing backlog so that I can have more backlog to play! :P
GIVE IT TO ME! I NEED IT. I sold a good portion of my Steam inventory in preparation!
