Valve needs to regulate Call of Duty
I like CoD, but they're just abusing Steam's community features way too much.

1. They launched their Call of Duty service that attaches every $70+ release as DLC, making it difficult to get refunds.

2. The most basic of achievements, as a result, come up at 0.1-0.3%, completely breaking rarest achievements on profiles.

3. Time played doesn't reflect actual time played in a release, it's all of them together.

4. You can't easily view community sentiment on any given release, as the forum is locked to "Call of Duty", or all of them combined - no link to discussion on Black Ops 7 for example.

They're just working the system to make every lazy release seem more impactful than it is, it's annoying. Most annoying is completing a single mission in SP and having a difficult achievement be knocked off my rarest achievement module.

Valve is no one to 'regulate' CoD

please post your question or requests in the games own forum. This is a STEAM ONLY related sub-forum, to discuss Ideas and suggestions for valve to make to the steam User Interface on the App, client and website and The online steam services.

This forum is not for any game related suggestions or ideas, or any game related topics.

Valve does not have the legal authority to regulate anyore but themselves.

They cannot force any other game devs to do anything.

Steam doesn't own Call of Duty, just distributes it.

All good points OP, steam should indeed regulate CoD , and tbh every other game which utilizes these quesstionable maarket practices too. They could easily do that on their platform. Attaching launchers to games should be forbidden, as well as merging games into one big game after some time.

I'm afraid Valve isn't that much interested in protecting consumers interests though.

EA did once. We got a decade of "Why isn't battleflied games on Steam!?"

It's no longer that cold outside of Steam.

Valve isn't much interested in every users self serving opinions that amount to Valve destroying its self by engaging in gaming fascism.

Also none of your complaints amount to anything other than "I don't like how Activision operates, so Valve should use Steam to force my opinions on Activision."

So how do you get Activision games removed from Steam? See OPs crackpot opinions.

Also if you don't like CoD on Steam, buy it thru battle.net. Or at a certain point, stop playing CoD if you don't like how it's managed. Valve can't force Activision to operate how you want. And they don't want to.

Yes.

Battlefield isn't doing that, afaik you can launch directly into BF6 from steam. So battlefield will remain here for sure.

But those games hidden behind another launcher should be gone, yes. On the long run that would profit steam and increase trust in this platform, because then customers can rest assured that games purchased here won't suddenly be locked behind another launcher.

Why exactly would you want to have it here when you can't even launch into the game directly from your library? You might as well buy it in another launcher and then add it as a non steam game, that would literally have the same effect.

At this point, I do not trust the steam store anymore.

It was an analogy. **woosh moment**
Call of Duty is big enough that people would go off Steam to get it. Valve cannot regulate that level of abuse.

The last time Valve tried to force EA to do something, EA pulled ALL of their games from Steam for several years.
The reason EA came back is because of Steam's large userbase that would allow their games to sell better.

Yep, and people are doing exactly that already. It makes a lot more sense to get Call of Duty off steam, because it doesn't disconnect every week during steam maintenance.

Understood. It was important for me to point that out, otherwise it might seem that advocating for OP's sugggestion might result into EA games being pulled off steam.
