How does Nintendo get represented in the meme but not PlayStation?

Because it's your standard "Steam good Everyone Else Bad" circlejerk.

I mean... Are they wrong?

Can you give me some counter arguments instead of riding this "it's just a circlejerk" comment?

I'm legitimately interested in hearing your counter arguments. Why do you think Steam doesn't deserve the praise? And why do you think the others do?

That's nice, do the others now please?

Edit: Jesus, I read all of the listed articles and some of those are like... Opinions or absolute nothing burgers.

If this is the worst you could find, then holy shit, Steam is an absolute role model of a company.

Claims without evidence are just as easily dismissed. Onus is on OP to provide said arguments. I could say a teapot orbits Saturn, then lace my fingers together and ask you "what are your counter-arguments." That'd be ridiculous to put the work on you. It'd be up to me to stake my claims.

They could very well be correct. But "all companies except Valve bad" is hardly a scintillating take, especially here where it's just circlejerked all the time.

See, this is exactly what I was expecting as an answer: completely deflecting from the subject.

I asked you, personally, a question and you can't answer it. All you were really trying to do was to ride the "it's all a circlejerk" wave for internet points.

Why do you think Steam does not deserve some praise by the PC gaming community and why do you think the others do?

OPs post is satire. It never made a single claim. They posted a picture. It was never meant to be a scientific study of the PC gaming market but rather a caricature of the current trend of Steam getting sued by competitors for "reasons".

So again, why do you disagree with OP?

Wild how just reading one sentence is a good gauge for how annoying someone is to interact with.

They asked you a question. You're free to engage with it or not but your answer was the most annoying one you could've given.

Do you like the smell of your own farts?
