The company with more wageslaves of course. I’m sure valve employees are paid very well. Yeah Gabe Newell is a billionaire and I’m not defending that, he should definitely be paying more in taxes. As they all should. But the way valve runs things is their business as a private corporation and I’m tired of seeing the being tore down for no apparent reason lately. Lots of better targets. It seems motivated by something larger behind he curtain and I don’t like being manipulated.
Firefighters were literally private companies before we collectively decided it was a bad idea. Firefighters would just sit and watch a place burn if nobody payed up. Sometimes rival firefighters would even get in brawls over who gets the contract while the house was burning down beside them.
Been seeing a lot of anti-valve corporate propaganda lately I think they’re upset with the way they run their company because it shows that in comparison their own companies are being greedy and hoarding wealth. It also shows how vastly inefficient in comparison they are.
Agreed. Right now trump is a flailing baby. If he was dead they could use him as a symbol and say anything they want.
He hasn’t though. He buried this story with his VP pick and the documents case.
I’m optimistic that America will get through this but I’m also a realist and do plan for the worst. Don’t worry I’m very aware of the situation. I’m in a position to easily jump ship if this country starts sinking.
And he’ll fail because America is too big.
No time, no money, no house.
Honestly nobody is really talking about this much except for loud online spaces and the media. The everyday person like today at work would rather talk about video games and the like. We talked about it a bit at work but then we mostly talked about Shadow of the Erd Tree. The world is so crazy these days we’re all desensitized. It’s just another shooting in America.
Unity was changing the rules after they were already set in place. Valve has never done such a move.
Imagine though if steam suddenly went to a flat fee per install instead of charging the 30% of the sale on their platform.
They would rightly be raked over the coals. But they won’t make such a dumb fucking move because it’s a dumb fucking move.
I’m not one for Corpos but as far as attacking them goes valve is certainly near the bottom of the list.
Then why are publishers and customers so loyal then? There has been attempt after attempt to create a competitor but they all fall short. Steam offers so so so much in comparison to the competition it’s not even funny. The 30% is justified.
I’ll go against the grain as a liberal leftist and say 141 billion for upgrading our entire nuclear infrastructure in today’s political climate seems like a deal.
You’re right. There’s a ton of celebrity endorsements and money involved. Everyone wants to be at the top of this new sports industry.
But I learned to play in highschool over a decade ago. It’s been around but only really gained traction over covid
Right now all it means for the everyday citizen is shunning people socially. Letting people anguish in their own decisions. We as a society have decided it’s ok to let people rot in the street for the crime of having no support system. So we ignore and shun and show society those views are not ok. Let fascists rot. It’s the only real thing we can do right now other than take strong political stances and close off routes to fascism politically.
Portland next please. I want to see my new landlord squirm on my way out.
You’re right, you beat fascism by rooting it out at the source and burning it and salting the ground so it can never take root again. I don’t think those are fascist ideals I think those are just normal moral ones.
Rentals should be owned by the city and the rent they collect should go to maintaining the property and towards new housing developments for the same city. Done. I did it. You could even leave the housing market alone as far as buying and selling houses and everything would still probably work out just fine.
Maybe we shouldn’t have private apartment complexes just like we shouldn’t have private prisons.
Makes sense 36,000. 8K goes to taxes. End up with 28,000 for my entire life for a year. And I work very hard
DXVK is sooo good now I install it for half my games on my Windows machine just for the performance gains
As with any proprietary hardware on a GPU it all comes down to third party software support and classically if the market isn’t there then it’s not supported.
