Competition in capitalism is always better than a lack thereof. But, we’ve not busted monopolies in a significant way since Ma Bell. And, even if we were, at 75% of the global market share they’d not warrant any action yet.
There’s going to be a dominant organization because late stage capitalism sucks. And, I’d rather it be Valve than some alternative trying to fuck me over at every opportunity.
I want to note that you’d need about $143 in gross sales to meet the threshold of $100 in net profit.
On the surface that sounds like a lot. But, they’re providing a service without any guarantee of any income. Epic can only compete because they’ve few users and are willing to operate at a near loss in attempt to garner market share.
This will be a difficult one for others to understand as a “good deal”. Gamers are usually correct when they pull out their pitchforks. This should not be one of those times.
Does Steam take a cut for distribution?
If not, while this emotionally sucks, they’ve a solid operational policy.
WSB detected :)
Quartery earnings report due 10/25. There’s no reason to sit capital here if there’s no catalyst for change.
That’s incredibly easy to do on any analysis platform.
Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.
Human psyche mandates we all believe we’re above average. Best of luck, white moderate.
Even more white moderate bullshit.
This is why nothing ever changes.
More white moderates. Sweet.
Racism implies an opinion of superiority based on race.
No. You moved the goal post such that your actions aren’t included. The rest of your post is based on this false premise, minimization, and projection.
racism
noun
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
You can claim it’s not racism a million times. But, that doesn’t change the truth of it.
I’m a natural US citizen of Indian heritage. I do the same thing as you: filter all recruiters with Indian names. It’s the only practical course of action.
The difference between us is I admit that it’s racism. I’m far less likely to fall down the slippery slope.
if my ISP provided prefix changes… affects the IP addressing on my local network.
IPv6 is just people shouting NAT BAD… Having every device have a public IP6 address I’d an anti-featute.
If you’re working in IT then you should find a new career.
A mod deleted my comment and suggested I approach in a better way. I apologize for my presentation.
You were righteously angry. And, it’s definitely not ethical for the other to respond to words with physical violence.
I’m a multiple-minority with a strong sense of justice. I speak from experience when I say: We must pick our battles and means wisely, particularly since the orange baffoon emboldened a wide scope and magnitude of hatred.
I wasn’t there. But, it seems almost certain this was not a wise battle for you to fight alone, perhaps at all. There’s almost certainly something you should learn from this. And, whatever it is to be learned, it’s definitely not to silence yourself and advocate others follow.
If you tell us more and solicit others’ input then maybe there’s insight we could offer. And, if this isn’t a safe enough space to do that, PM me. I’ll share a place where such a post would be very well-received.
If they didn’t have the basics covered they’d not be volunteers. If they wanted money they’re already soliciting. I’d bet most would say as I say when I volunteer, “Donate anonymously to XYZ organization.”
But, I’d be on cloud nine if all were guaranteed water, food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, education, and recreation. It’s been the consistent US left platform for eighty years.
We could monetize and enshitify it like everything else. We could ask if they take donations like good little neolibs. Or, we could consider that some people don’t need or want to be paid for their incremental contributions to society then leave alone the developers of the best software around.
The US. Psychiatrists can Rx. Psychologists cannot. But, they’ve always a psychiatrist in their back pocket who’ll do whatever for a quick buck. If they label themselves “therapist” they’re idiots who couldn’t even hack a MA.
My experiences have clearly demonstrated that anyone accepting money will inhibit progress or have one forever dependent upon pharmaceuticals. Those that provide the best help never asked me for anything in return.
Same goes for education.
Neither is publicly traded. Neither of us know the numbers.
Does Steam make money on hosting indie games?
How does one research such a question?
I don’t need answers. I had them before I made my second post above.
Good luck to you.
