I recommend hosting yourself to see exactly what “admins” have to go through.

Thanks for pointing this out.
This “sign up to view” nonsense needs to end. Whoever suggested it should be tarred and feathered.

Pretty sure this is paid propaganda.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" 2 weeks ago:
I’m glad I stopped arguing with morons.
Good luck in life.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 2 weeks ago:
Well that’s stupid. If Steam charged less, the price of games wouldn’t change.
Developers and publishers would just pocket the difference.

Stupid people do.

Valve isn’t forcing anyone to use their platform.
If Steam’s terms aren’t satisfactory for developers, then they don’t have to use Steam.

Epic would charge Steam’s fees if they had Steam’s marketshare.
Everyone thinking they care about creators or customers is a fucking moron.
- Comment on Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI' 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, Charlie Kaufman is actually the one who mentioned AI being able to take the place of hollywood writers because they’re all so shit.

I thought it was Stop Killing Games.

AI can already write scripts on par with or better than most of what hollywood shits out.
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 2 weeks ago:
It’s more nuanced than that.
It’s not, though. If people actually want to play your game, then Steam isn’t going to get in the way.
Look at MMOs. Look at fortnite. Minecraft. Roblox. Those games can succeed without Steam because people want to play them.
If a game can’t succeed without being on Steam, then Steam isn’t the problem.
Why are we defending a system where the fucking checkout system is valued as much as the people making the games?
You’re asking the wrong question here. You should be asking why you’re defending the developers who just want to make more money and don’t care about how it may impact the experience for their customers.
Gabe isn’t your friend and neither are the whiny/greedy developers.
- Comment on TRIMUI Brick Hammer, a weirdly named but beautiful handheld 2 weeks ago:
You can buy a controller for your phone and have a more powerful emulation device without spending as much money.
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 2 weeks ago:
alleges Valve “forces” game publishers to sign up to conditions which prevents them from selling their titles earlier or for less on rival platforms.
As always, these moves are being perpetuated by scumbags who just want to make more money without putting in any additional effort.
If Steam is worth releasing a game on in the eyes of the developers, then they have to pay the price to do it. If it’s not worth the price, then they are under no obligation at all to release their game on Steam.
Most games on Steam fail to gain any traction. If your game fails, it’s not because it isn’t on Steam; it’s because it’s a pile of shit and you’re not special because you made something.

Wiener, wiener wiener, wiener wiener…
- Comment on Players are returning their Dispatch copies due to Switch censorship 2 weeks ago:
This. It’s okay to be risque as long as the Disney/Apple crowd doesn’t catch wind of it.
As soon as they get on board, it’s all over and time to jump ship.
- Comment on Players are returning their Dispatch copies due to Switch censorship 2 weeks ago:
I’m so fucking sick of censorship and the morons that perpetuate.
If you don’t want to see something? Fine. That doesn’t mean you should get to hide it from everyone else, though.
- Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse 2 weeks ago:
Really? I thought it was just the opposite.
Kind of weird how you’re posting this from .ml, though; one of the most propagandized instances in existence.

Copying != stealing
The laws are written so people richer than you can be even richer. Don’t support them unless you’re a useful idiot.

- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 2 weeks ago:
Patreon stopped being benevolent years ago when they changed their pricing model to exploit small donors more.
Send money directly using Monero. Avoid as much ‘overhead’ as possible.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 2 weeks ago:
Why? Haven’t you noticed the apple userbase is filled with morons who are proud to make rich people richer?
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 2 weeks ago:
See? Apple users are dumb as a sack of diapers and deserve to be taken advantage of accordingly.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 2 weeks ago:
That would be nice, but when Apple says “jump,” all the other businesses ask “how high?”
The world is full of morons with more money than sense.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 2 weeks ago:
Why does Apple feel they deserve a 30% cut?
Because they can. Time and time again, useful idiots have proven their dipshittery by sucking off the people taking them for a ride.
A main tenant of business decisions is to fuck over your customers as hard as they’re willing to be fucked. Since nobody has any standards these days, corporations make a killing.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 2 weeks ago:
The game is made up of dipshit players mostly working against their own interests.
