Second Opinion: Valve Hates You, And Maybe You Should Hate Valve

This week's episode of Hey Poor Player's Second Opinion series weighs in not on a game, but on the recent discussion about Valve's "good guy" pro-customer persona.

It's still a company at the end of the day.

jznrpg2546d ago

They dont hate anyone, they need to make money. Sounds like propaganda from another company

IanTH2546d ago

Yea I think hate is a bit strong. I'd say "indifferent" is a more apt descriptor. But I'm of the mind that Valve probably has earned more good will than it deserves, and that's coming from a guy who's pretty invested in Steam thanks to years of building up a huge library there.

Lockdown5552546d ago

But how have they earned that good will? By simply providing a good marketplace? By offering consistent sales better than the competition? If they haven't tried to shove it down your throat that they deserve good will but are simply getting it I don't think it's more than they deserve.

TheColbertinator2546d ago

A certain company must be behind these attacks on Valve. Pulling the puppet strings of the gaming media.

Lockdown5552546d ago

I think you're on to something. All this Valve hate is just baseless and ignorant. People are literally hating on Valve because people love steam so much and not because of anything they are doing. It doesn't make any sense.

psuedo2546d ago

The guy in the video said he hates valve, so his opinion is biased. Why wouldn't valve love everyone after making tons of money?

Lockdown5552546d ago

I really don't get all this valve hate lately. They definitely don't hate us, we're their customers and without us they would make no money. They may not care about us because at the end of the day they are a business. The funny thing is, everybody claims they've somehow gained too much good will, but how? I've never once in all my years of using steam felt like they were trying to convince me they were the "good guy". They simply provided a very user friendly market for games that have killer sales. Any good will they've earned was simply because the customers enjoyed their service. This hate is just ignorant.

Still waiting for its first patch which is worrying. I know it’s been a single man developer but there’s really no excuse for no updates being released since launch. I’ve been part of many single developer releases that are updated daily, sometimes hourly. This’s hasn’t had a single one yet….
