UPDATE!

Just wanted to tell you folks that I’ve been reading Steam forums lately. The thread I started around 8 months ago is alive and it’s been really abused by Steam moderators today.

So what actually happened? Those lunatics are removing every single post that contains a link to other store(s) than Valve’s. They claim people are advertising? I understand those guys work for Valve in a way (they must obey the forum rules and enforce them) but seriously some of them should take a chill pill or simply calm the fuck down.

I mean look at last few pages of the original Looks like $1 = €1 after all thread. These guys are out of their minds and seriously out of the line here – deleting every single post with links to other stores because they claim that people are advertising!

But actually people are simply pasting links to different Steam alternatives like Good Old Games (the whole Fallout prices thing), Impulse, Direct2Drive and others and compare prices to Steam prices. That’s it.

Is comparing considered advertising? Maybe in their little brains but in the modern world it’s like this, when people see that they can get the same product for 50% or even cheaper, guess which place they will choose? Yes, Steam moderators, it’s hard to believe but they will chose the cheaper alternative which might be harsh for Valve’s business (I’ll give you that) but this is not to piss off Valve it’s to make them lower the prices. In real world when you see that some store sells the same stuff for a lot more cash your natural behavior would be coming up to that asshole and tell him that you and your friends will never shop here again because they rip-off people and guess what? A store owner with brain will actually think about that and do something about it. But not Valve, “the creators of best-selling game franchises and leading technologies”.

Right here, right now I ask everyone who’s interested to visit official Steam forums in their free time and defend our friends (or should I say friends of our cause?) who have some really good points there but are getting bashed by the childish moderators – of course most of Steam forums moderators are nice people and you should always remember that and you should also remember not to spam, rage or post offending stuff there because you will simply get banned.

Consider this message as simple rant and RAGE!!11 and ignore it if you don’t like it. Good night.
