Disco Elysium is always free, the devs got fucked and won’t get a cent from sales, everyone should pirate the game.

And then you get a drought that lasts longer than your infrastructure is able to handle and you’re still fucked
The Guardian has reported previously that 1,000 pages of internal documents obtained by freedom of information requests showed that early on in the investigation the province’s department of environment and public health units began eagerly exploring the possibility of environmental causes alongside their federal counterparts. But by mid-2021, New Brunswick appeared to have halted the probe with little explanation.
Yuuup
They called the police and were told to keep the money since there’s no crime.
If people don’t want a Reddit clone they’ve come to the wrong place
This discussion was about Valve but all big companies are in the wrong here. The accumulation of wealth is always done at the expense of the less wealthy.
My question is… Why from there? 🤔
wildly unrealistic, unfounded in reality
Under capitalism it is.
Is the company generating enough profit that its owner is at least a multimillionaire while people (especially in their own country) can barely afford to pay for basic needs?
No > Not a problem
Yes > There’s a major fucking problem, they’re overcharging their customers and something must be broken in your brain for you to defend them instead of your own interests
That applies to every single company in existence.
I’m against all retailers taking a 30% cut and therefore leading us to overpay, this discussion was about Steam.
Are you guys unable to compute that just because someone is talking about company X, it doesn’t mean they it’s the only company they are angry with?
Oh, is it other retailers the article is talking about? No, it’s not.
Stop defending a billionaire and his company, you’ll never be one of them, all billionaires need to go, none of them became one by being moral, if it was any other company you would be talking about guillotines.
This discussion is about Steam, they have control over the market, all distributors are in the wrong and take too high of a cut, I’ll talk about the other distributors when we have a discussion about them.
Check my comment
I talk about wealth then I talk about income, compare both, then I compare wealth to net worth (which is how you measure wealth)
If you have enough wealth, it’s used to get money as your wealth is used as collateral, you don’t need to be rich to do that, you just need to own stuff that is paid for. I know people who only own a house that isn’t worth a fortune, the got a mortgage on it when the rates were down to 1% to invest it at a higher interest rate, their not rich, they just have wealth that can be used as collateral to get money.
Suing them because they’re making too much profit isn’t the way to go to make it so they’re prevented from making too much profit in the future…
Eh…
Ok
I dumbed it down to the level of the people who are defending billionaires. No one should be allowed to have multiple millions or billions in wealth while people are starving even in rich countries.
It needs to be sold for 70 on Steam in order to bring in the revenue per copy they need for their RoI, why would they go and sell for less elsewhere if Steam with their 30% share sets the bar? People won’t feel ripped off, the price is the same, what they don’t realize is that the only reason the price is that high in the first place is that Valve gets 21$ from each sale! The company needs 49$/copy in their pockets, if the distributor’s share had always been 15% instead of 30% we would be buying games for 58$ instead of 70$ right now.
It was the only intelligent part
That’s why I included both numbers, but if you know how to deal with your finances, at some point wealth is pretty much the same as money.
I use three monitors and could use a fourth one (ultra wide) for some specific tasks, meanwhile my colleague that does the same job is working from a 13" laptop screen sitting on a cushion at her coffee table…
