GIỚI THIỆU Anti Pre-Order and Day-1 DLC !

It is up to you to make a difference!

Hello all and welcome!
This group was created first and foremost in order to raise awareness among our fellow gamers regarding the huge illness we have on the gaming industry today:

- Toxic Pre-order system.
- Imposed DRM (specially Allways Online DRM).
- Day One DLCs.
- Microtransactions on Pay to Play games.
- Loot Boxes.


Many of you will instantly relate to what i'm talking about here, others will need some enlightenment in order to comprehend what's going on, how we are the responsables of it, and how is it on our hands or better said in our wallets, the power to stop this.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some great explanations as to why Pre-Orders and DLCs overall are bad for us(the consumer) and for the gaming industry in general:

"FTP Done Well: Games with a fair Free to Play business model, that rewards the users for supporting the game economically while not being "Pay to Win" nor "Grind Forever" if you dont pay."

Hi folks! I know this is short notice, but I wanted to let you know that I sadly won't be able to do any moderating for this group anymore. I'm afraid I'm spread too thin these days, and really need to cut down on my Steam groups, guilds, Discords, etc. etc. etc. Too much to moderate!

Anyway, I wish you all the best! It was great being with you for as long as I was!

Campy, Yellow, thank you both especially for making me feel so welcome! Take care out there, and don't be a stranger!

I agree and can't afford to eat much less pay for digital video games in this greedy world. All so some exec who doesn't give a F about gaming can live on the hog.
Biggest problem is the game publishers and bloated marketing teams. I block all ads anyways. Worthless profession gaming could do without.
Also don't feel guilty about dl'ing free games when companies are handing out free copies to influencers.
They make a killing on digital sales due to the lack of production costs.
Also games should not be more expensive than film. Never should have been.
This is coming from a minimalist who makes a measly $10K a year in the communist USSA after the Gov steals more than half my income to reward themselves. And to bailout game studios.

You don't own your games. You are only renting them from Steam. If you die or close your account, you can't bequeath the games to someone else or download them to your PC. The ownership reverts back to Valve.
Steam was/is the worst thing to ever happen to gaming. There was no "DLC" before steam, there were standalone expansion packs that were basically full games themselves.
Review manipulation, trade scamming, lootboxes, aggressive DLC marketing, online gaming addiction - all started when steam came.
Imagine someone from Microsoft coming to your house and taking all your software away because you were caught cheating in an online game.
The games on my steam account probably add up to several thousand pounds, yet I can be completely barred from accessing them at any time Valve chooses. The idea that you own your steam games is completely wrong. It's ironic really to see how the developers themselves have ruined their own industry through greed. Oh well.
