They charge 30% because they have a soft monopoly, it’s basically robbery and it is affecting the indie scene and the quality and amount of games we receive.
Gaben has 6 mega yatchs and a number of submarines. The yatchs alone are worth around 1 billion and cost an estimated 75 to 100 million per year just to maintain.
This is from my first post, I’ve repeated myself 4 times now (over two threads because you have answered mutiple different comments). I won’t be answering anymore of your comments, all you are spitting in my face is childish rhetoric.
And, to be clear, Capitalism is bad. I’m on board. But riding Gaben’s dick, or the dick of any boring dystopian billionaire instead of the people actively fighting to maintain the system is just grossly missing the point
Not all evils are equal, and any perceived slight by Steam is honestly smoke for the thousands of disgustingly rich venture capitalists constantly abusing the system that exists and lobbying the shit out of any attempt to fix it. I don’t blame Gaben for owning more yacht’s than anyone needs, because, at the end of the day, he’s providing a quality service through an unfair system. He’s not the one fighting to provide shittier and shittier systems, demanding fatter and fatter paychecks and encouraging us to blame each other for the state of the world while he runs off with the largest slice of the cake.
Should he have the wealth he has access to? Fuck no. But, again, the dishonest and disgustingly simplified argument that homie is making is only idiofying the cause. Target the problems, not the lucky guys who are providing halfway reasonable services through our broken-ass system.
Its kind of a shame that you respond to him instead of me, you are literally circle jerking each other.
Homie over her is just tired of seeing simps defend this pos billionaire and his company. The fact is the government will never act if this is the kind of vibe they’re getting from the community. Bootlickers are holding us back.
He is not just part of the unfair system, he is 1/4 of it. You make it sound like poor old gaben is a victim here and was forced to participate in collusion and robbing a whole industry blind.
I respond to people when they say something worth responding to. You think my post makes Gaben sound like a victim. Either your reading comprehension has completely failed and you aren’t capable of having a real conversation, or my first comment about being far more interested in saying controversial shit than thinking things through was spot on, and you’re arguing in bad faith and/or to pleasure your ego. Since it’s not my job to educate you, nor satisfy you, even giving you this much recognition is a compliment. Have a good one.
You responded to him not only to get his praise, but so I’d miss it and wouldn’t challenge your opinion. It’s the definition of a circle jerk. And you literally talked about me and my previous inputs in the comment in a derogatory way. It’s rude.

This is what I mean by bootlickers being the problem. I’m exaggerating when I say you make him out to look like a victim, but this praise is way too heavy. He is the unfair system. He could have taken a step back after his first mega yatch but he choose to keep the ball rolling with his buddies at Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo.

Oh look, another boring block of text so you can avoid replying to the commentor who proved you’re either dumb or just lying.
We get it, your point can be dumbed down to a mouth-breathing “capitalism bad”.

Well said.
It’s not that what he’s saying is out-and-out wrong – it’s just not useful or interesting in the context of the discussion.
