  • If you sell steam keys through your site you can’t charge less than the steam price. In order to sell it cheaper on their site, it would have to be a non-steam version and they’d have to serve up the files themselves. If it’s a multiplayer game it wouldn’t be compatible, they’d need to switch to EOS or something else. realistically speak, developers could probably charge a bit less by providing that their own. it doesn’t cost 30% to serve up the files and process some payments.


  • Steams cut off that, at just the $3 million mark, is $450 million. This is $900,000 per game.

    People wonder why other companies wanted to make their own launchers. They leave millions on the table by having steam ‘handle’ things.

    This is also why Valve isn’t that inclined to pump out tons of new games.

    A game like Palworld, which as of 3 weeks ago, has sold 12 million copies would end up making Valve somewhere in the neighbourhood of $72 million as of the end of January.











  • I’m aware they’re different.

    Are you capable or parsing what you actually read?

    Let’s try another example since you clearly have a bee in your bonnet over gun rights,

    Person A mouths off at Person B who then punches Person A in the face.

    You come in carrying on about freedom of speech

    This is called an example because you’re clearly too wound up over gun rights, I thought I’d give you another example of a similar situation to see if you’d be capable of taking a step back and looking at something objectively. Thanks for answering that question though.





  • You have a choice. You can be right and dead. Or you can be alive and sort it out later.

    I never said that she deserved to be shot or that the cops were justified. I only explained why they shot her and why they’re likely not to face any consequences for this. I gave no personal judgement. Here is the problem with people like you, you have absolutely no ability for nuance. Anyone who doesn’t immediately cheerlead everything you say 100% must mean that they’re 100% against you and should be attacked.

    it’s funny because your behaviour embodies what you claim you’re raging against.
