I know that WoW, Starcraft 2 and Minecraft are the most successful PC games of the last couple years and none of them were on Steam.
Which neither explains why, nor gives any measure of evidence that they wouldn't or couldn't have been MORE successful if they were available on Steam as well.
Your latter argument cuts right to the point of your opinion. You seem to think that people use steam out of some misguided sense of loyalty, like we're all hapless fools who don't know what's best for ourselves.
I never said anything like that... where the hell did you pull that from?
"Valve, Blizzard, EA... all of them are doing this for the money, none of them are your friends."
Right, that doesn't at all imply that people who do prefer to buy from Steam think Valve is their 'friend' or in some way more worthy of loyalty.
Maybe you honestly don't understand the implications of what you say, but somehow I doubt it. You don't strike me as stupid, just as another dick that tries to hide his disdain for others through feigned civility. There's a clear derisive tone to that statement, as if you know better than we what these companies are like and we need your patronizing commentary to understand.
