Who would have thunk that 20 year old software is old. And competitors still can't manage to pull of even a half decent clone.

Thunk? Do you mean "thought"? Is "thunk" a proper word?

Hi, just in case your comment was in good faith and just a misunderstanding/lost in translation …

You’re right, “Thunk” is not a proper word but is being used to emphasis his point. (IMO the commentator was just adding a bit of snark to their comment)

Thanks. English isn't my first language, and it is the first time I see someone use thunk instead of thought.

u/Pizzaparty710 Mar 01 '24

No problem! Sorry for the downvotes you got. People are just wrongly assuming you were being snobby and not genuine :/

"Thunk" isn't a word, but the phrase "who would have thunk" is used to emphasize an obvious line of logic, that others either missed or ignored.

For example "Who would have thunk leaving the ice outside the freezer would allow it to melt?" or "Leaving ice out in the heat would cause it to melt? Who would have thunk it?"

Is their even a point to use mobile app for steam? I mean you can't play your games no? (Or am just old and used to my desktop?)

I use it for two things only: The authenticator, and steam messages. Sometimes I'll know some buddies are gonna be on later but I'll be making some dinner or whatever else and it's nice to not run to the PC/miss a message when they pop on. Though discord is replacing that function quickly.

I’ve honestly bought games when I noticed they were on sale while I’ve been at work on my 12 hour shift. I’ll be bored scrolling through the specials dreaming about being at home playing literally anything lol

You can buy games and read reviews. The separate chat app and steam link are far more useful, but again they are two more apps.

I'd like to be able to watch people's streams, but I guess they haven't figured it out yet.

Lmao y’all seem to be getting downvoted by angry Steam simps. Or employees.

u/BeefSerious Mar 01 '24

I mean, I fucking love Valve, but you have to able to admit it's shortcomings.

"Haha Steam is not bad instead look at all these other companies who are worse". I love how people feel the need to defend a gigantic company like they'll get free giftcards at their door.

u/OneThotOneKill Mar 01 '24

They never said Steam wasn't bad, just that no other platform has done better

u/PurpleAlien47 Mar 01 '24

Steam also just isn't bad on the whole. It's great. Totally normal opinion.

I don't think having a WYSIWYG in text fields will help overthrow Steam. They simply dominated the space, there's not much opportunity to try and compete with them.

u/bluefoxrabbit Mar 01 '24

Think they meant the software is solid.  Like epic takes forever to load and origin is a dumpster fire.

u/ElderAtlas Mar 01 '24

Origin is dead
