Yes, pay more to Steam to get people buying it and also enjoy other Steam perks. Or, pay (presumably) less and receive nothing and not get your money back.

Shit like that could work 10 years ago, not anymore. Not that it worked reliably 10 years ago. You essentially want people to spend all the money and time making a game, and then gamble on the algorythm and that Zukerberg will allow anyone to see your shit. And if you lose the gamble, enjoy your 7 buyers and no shot to get anything in the future.
No wonder nobody actually does that, and people publish on Steam where there are oodles of mechanisms to connect people with money who want a game and people with a game who want money.

The shit about numbered worlds is a relic from the cold war. Neither of the worlds exist anymore, really.

If you read that from this meme, you might need to go back to school to learn some literacy a bit more.

I mean, yeah, I would also like to live in a socialist world. However, we’re not, so we need to judge companies on a grade of existing world, not on a grade of luxury gay space communist one. And in our capitalist reality, it’s really unreasonable from a capital to not go for more capital. We also don’t judge companies by revenue per employee, at all, it’s not a thing that we do in a capitalist society. We sometimes congratulate them on winning at capitalism if the ratio is particularly high like in this case.
That aside, Steam is a product and a service, and 30% is very reasonable market rate for products and services they produce.

steam has sub 300 employees.

What does that has to do with anything?

Nothing stops them and yet they mostly don’t. There is no good way for a dev to put a game before your eyes, so they have to have some kind of store to do it.

Apart from running gambling for children (pretty hefty thing to put aside, but still), what do you mean?

Until we actually create post-scarcity luxury gay space communism, there is always someone who is at least somehow motivated to do some crimes. And when there are easy murdermachines lying around, that motivation just gets married with opportunity.
Your loaded language betrays your deep gun-related motivation so I don’t think you will actually hear me, but I will try to convey this anyway. Improving the lives of 99% of the population necessarily will have to include strict gun control, it is impossible without it, and it’s one of the prerequisites. Not the first one, not even top 5 maybe, but it’s up there.

That’s not how it works my man. If you’re claiming something it’s your burden to prove it. If instead you start butthurt rants, it means you know shit about shit and should be discarded.

Before slop started ruining our life, I quite liked the absurdity of “we made ai watch 1000 hours of whatever and it wrote whatever” or people recreating “ai generated recipes”.
Only later I realised that I actually liked it because it were people doing comedy, and ai has nothing to do with it. The same level of absurdity but actually generated doesn’t do anything for me

throwing soup at paintings

That was Just Stop Oil, also a UK group. Their goal was to make people talk about them and what they stand for. Here we are, 4 years later, talking about it, so I guess that was a success.
Not only you missed the mark, but you named two countries that are quite known for people successfully standing up to the government in recent decades, Germany through unions and strikes, and France through throwing bricks at rich people’s buildings and setting some stuff on fire. Both seem to be something yanks need to actually learn.

Surprisingly, it’s the most realistic part of the movie. If you know scientists, if they have a concept for a perfect thing that can’t be found, and then they find it for real, they’re calling it unobtanium for sure.

Kids has social lives before the internet so your argument

I will let you figure out yourself what’s wrong with your logic without insulting you with stating the obvious

What in the fuck are we even talking about then, you know shit about the topic and don’t care (don’t get me wrong, valid stance)

In US? Unless you’re very lucky with location, and 99% aren’t, you can’t ride a bike anywhere, it’s dangerous and there are stroads everywhere. You can’t see their friends in real life because there is no place to gather, and nobody is doing that anyway. Kids are talking to each other on various internets and talking in memes the pick up online. You can’t even socialise with non-technology freaks and wonabe amish, they’re all home schooled.
It’s slightly different in other, more developed countries. But even then, not being able to connect with your peers on discord will cost the kid a bunch of socialising points, and make their social life that much harder (up to impossible) for no reason.
And that’s just social life, I’m not even talking about the fact that you practically taking away any prospect of a good employment rising them like that.
Maybe talk to your kids once in a while so they don’t want to seek connection with 30 year old maga predators on the internet as a crude replacement for personal connection, instead of locking them up in a tower.

Playstore got so unbelievably bad now, and it happened so quickly, I feel like I’m going insane. Who’s decision was to do it like that and was there even a person to make decisions!

You don’t have to buy your kid a smart phone or tablet or computer.

You do if you want them to be normal members of society with any skills. Things are happening on a computer now, so if you want your kid to not be a socially isolated looser they kind of have to have one.

Is it? Is there research on it?

But it’s also about numbers, it’s just not a curve more of a ladder. You can’t saturate the society with guns and expect that they will not be a problem because your culture is good and control is implemented. Switzerland just about did it, but there is so many caveats it doesn’t even count, and let’s admit it, nobody else is Switzerland, so that’s an enormous outlier.
