Passport applications that were processed by people that were working from the office and by teams that has been cut to the minimum number of employees possible by shipping people to other departments that were actually necessary during the peak of the pandemic!
All unions keep saying it, a gain for union jobs puts pressure on non union employers.
Also it’s the population’s money and time that’s being wasted by pushing for RTO, traffic in the Ottawa-Gatineau region increased so much since September 9th that public servants with other obligations aren’t able to work their regular schedule when they go to the office.

Have you seen the summer of discontent from the federal government employees over RTO?
Yeah, me neither
At the same time, both need to be done, your solution doesn’t solve the fact that it’s only a license you’re purchasing and you depend on a third party service to download the game in most cases.
Funny how you’re only using positive examples and not the reality for the majority of games…
Eh… I was just showing that you don’t actually own your games as access to them can be taken from you, that’s all.
As to why I dont mind the fee as a consumer; valve invests its earnings into linux gaming and does cool shit like that.
You’re also talking like they wouldn’t have as many customers if they reduced their cut which is completely ridiculous. More profit would go to the people actually doing the work or prices would go down.
Stop defending the billionaire, you’re making a fool of yourself.
There’s a difference between dealing with it and defending it, you’re doing the latter by saying 30% is ok because reasons.
So they’re not DRM free then if you need Steam to download them. You also need to be connected to the internet at least once to confirm ownership, so even if you download it once and think that you can now just transfer the game from one PC to another without an internet connection or without Steam, you can’t.
DRM free and owner ownership means physical.
They can still delete your account and cut you off from your games.
Again, they can afford their R&D while paying their employees more than the industry average and while making the owner a multibillionaire, they 100% could afford to lower their cut without any negative impact on everyone but Gabe Newell.
The lower % starts if a game sells enough copies to make 10m$, Valve has made 3m$ at that point.
Stop defending the people that make you poorer, they’re not your friends, all billionaires exist at the expense of our wealth. All. Of. Them. Are. Evil.
“Ubisoft take note”
Ubisoft is nothing compared to Valve… You don’t own anything you purchase on Steam and it’s the biggest store by a huge margin, don’t know why Ubisoft is mentioned specifically…
I’ve had this conversation so many times and some people just can’t imagine that they might be paying more than they need to just so Gabe can collect yachts… People feel they’re getting their money’s worth because everything they’ve ever bought is priced based on the fact that there’s multimillionaires and billionaires higher up the chain…
Preach brother, fuck all billionaires!
You could create the best launcher in the world and people would ignore it because they don’t want multiple launchers and their library is already centralized on Steam.
The government hired so many employees in the last few years including tons of positions where they didn’t care about distance from an office until December 2022 (and that are now exempted from RTO)… I don’t think that argument has too much weight to it, people complain without trying to leave their current job, that’s why office workers don’t see as much gains but I can guarantee you, gains at the federal level has make impacts in the private sector and outside of the GOC in the Ottawa-Gatineau region because employers need to compete (a receptionist position for a small town paying 30$/h???). Make the public service as open to WFH as possible and now it’s employers from all over Canada that will need to compete with it for office jobs and those in the private sector should realize that!
