Wonder how licensing is handled with this title when it comes to streaming. Videos of playthroughs can be found on youtube but I assume they'll be demonetized?

If my position is steam/valve/newel aren't the saints they get portrait as and back it up with a example that demonstrates that they are just as bad as their competition and your retort is their competition does it too then I'm not sure what you've debunked there.

Here is another example: Valve has been, and still is, pushing unregulated gambling in it's games, which are also marketed at minors. Please remember if you want to debunk my take then "their competition does so, too." doesn't cut it.

Sounds like Valve is the trendsetter. The other e-shops decided to follow suit. Epic Store has an interesting model about how games must make X money before the dev pays up, and the games made with Unreal still get sold on Steam. Go figure eh. Its almost as if they know Epic Store is ***and they said to gain more by selling on Steam.

Speaking of “unregulated gambling”, Fortnite (Epics flagship money maker) also has unregulated gambling, does it not?

Whales are everywhere, its not exclusive to Valve, sorry to burst that bubble. You cant say “REE VALVE BAD GABES EVIL” when the competition does the exact same ***. People in glass houses shouldnt throw stones or something like that.

I didn't narrow it down to just Humble Bundle.
I narrowed it down to the ones you listed. I didnt cherry pick jack ***.

Lets take the second example on your list. According to steamdb Pragmata never went for less than 59,99 on steam. If we look it up on ggdeals we see multiple offers for 50 and less. Fanatical, which is similar to Humble Bundle, is among those sub 50 offers.
They sell you a steam key. I dont know the process how they get their stock but my guess is theyre resellers who bought in bulk at discount.

I remember when psyops were convincing and made you think for a hot minute if its real or ***.

We deserve better psyops.

Solo with my 5 mules is considered solo, correct?

Your trying to re-frame my position, here is a reminder of what my position really was:

Haven't read the article, never understood why the internet worships that man as much as it does.

As far as I understand it your position is contra to mine so your take is valve/steam/gabe still are saints and deserve all the worship they receive?
I think we can agree that being on par with the rest isn't worthy of worship.

In order to debunk my take, burst my bubble or how ever you want to phrase it, you'd need to show where Valve does significantly better than their competition.

I went to Humble Bundle to see if I could buy Crimson Desert. Oops, cant find it. Maybe its too new.
Lets see what other big 2026 games there are:
Pragmata: 79.99 on Humble Bundle, 79.99 on Steam
RE:Requiem: 94.99 on HB, 94.99 on Steam
Nioh 3: 90.99 on HB, 90.99 on Steam
Reanimal: 53.49 on HB, 40.11 on Steam

Any other 2026 games you want to look at? Did I cherry pick to suit my narrative?
You did cherry pick, it just doesn't suite your narrative.

Third entry on your list Resident Evil Requiem so far never went below 69,99 on steam according to steamdb. On ggdeals there are currently 10 offers listed that are cheaper, 2 of them below 60 bucks.

I'm starting to see a pattern here. Shall I continue or can we acknowledge that the pricing argument doesn't always play in steams favor?
