I thought it was Stop Killing Games.

AI can already write scripts on par with or better than most of what hollywood shits out.

Five Nights at Freddy’s, Minecraft, Roblox, Repo, Lethal Company, all look and play like they were made by AI. It won’t be long until users genuinely can’t tell the difference.

This is mostly due to the fact that audiences have no standards for the media that they consume.

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.

You can buy a controller for your phone and have a more powerful emulation device without spending as much money.

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.

Why bother arguing with them?

If they want to be stupid, that’s their decision.

The distro shouldn’t matter too much, but the desktop environment will.

I recommend using KDE if you want something similar to Windows, and GNOME if you want something similar to macOS.

Using a GUI also isn’t really dependent on the DE either for most programs. It’s dependent on whether or not a GUI for it exists in the first place.

Wiener, wiener wiener, wiener wiener…

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.

I’m so fucking sick of censorship and the morons that perpetuate it.

If you don’t want to see something? Fine. That doesn’t mean you should get to hide it from everyone else, though.

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.

I’m gonna OGC right now.

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.

Why? Haven’t you noticed the apple userbase is filled with morons who are proud to make rich people richer?

See? Apple users are as dumb as a sack of diapers and deserve to be taken advantage of accordingly.

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.

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.

The game is made up of dipshit players mostly working against their own interests.
