- Comment on Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store 3 weeks ago:
oh no, a person at the head of a company that has created a great environment has profited from it! the horror.
Gabe’s wealth isnt a problem. if you dislike his yach the problem is in the taxation system of the country not the individuals wealth.
BBB hasnt been relavant for decades its a dead ratings system that was bought out years ago by corpo interests. citing them is like citing donald trump on medical treatments for covid.
oh no! 80 employees? the horror. thats literally what software is about. its economics of scale are insane. you dont need more than a couple dozen people if they’re competent.
finally: geoblocking is a feature developers enable. they don’t have to. steam doesnt force them to. if you dont like it don’t by those games. I promise you there are plenty of games you can buy that dont have it.
really if this is all you have as complaints thats pretty small time. compared to google/apple/microsoft/EA/nabisco mistreatment of their employees, funding of fascist politicians, etc. quite frankly I have bigger concerns than gabe being wealthy.

This is likely 100% misinformation. Only EU lawsuit i found was clone about geo blocking games. Which is a game developer/publisher decision not valves.
From there we can extrapolate the rest of their comment is nonsense.
- Comment on How much of a risk is it for naturalized US Citizens (or those with Derivative Citizenship) to protest against the US government, compared to the risks of natural-born US Citizens doing the same? 2 months ago:
Protesting is the least useful form of collective action. Dont worry if you cant participate in it directly. Its not materially useful.
What you need to do is organize locally and hold your local reps to the fire. Ensure your local elections are run fairly, etc etc.
Help run info ops for naturalized citizens who are comfortable taking direct action. Gather information and make it publicly available. Could be as simple as locating all the charging stations in your state for example. Or dossiers on particularly disgusting ceos.
Plenty of things you can do without directly exposing yourself.

lol. well I dont live in the EU thats true. seems like you’re the misinformed one. its pretty common for ‘electricity usage’ and ‘delivery’ to be separated. hence my question.

Are you sure its the actual cost of the electricity or the fact that many other costs are often bundled into your bill?
