The 30% percent cut, stealing money from devs

This is a pretty spicy take. Let’s consider two possibilities:

1. Game devs choose to distribute independently, and sell their game for $20. They sell 100,000 copies and make $2 million in revenue, and keep the entire $2 million.

2. Game devs choose to distribute via Steam, promote it with a 50% off sale, it goes to the Steam front page, sells 500,000 copies at only $10 each, for a total $5 million in revenue. Steam takes $1.5 million and the devs take $3.5 million.

In scenario 2 the devs make 75% more than in scenario 1. Did Valve steal from the game devs?

Is there like a word that stands for, “I can’t be perfect so I gave up trying to be better”?

Weird assumption you made when all I did was refuse to whitewash the GOP’s fascism and white supremacy.

Obviously I don’t have any faith in Democrats.

I hope your distain for Democrats and the Cheneys brings you comfort in the direct consequences of the GOP’s electoral wins in 2024. Congratulations, you owned the libs.

In Cyberpunk 2077 the major antagonists are the corporations, although the game is not as punk as the name would suggest as you spend spend about the same amount of time working for them, or even for the police or government.

Interesting that ICE agents invading schools to kidnap children and put them in concentration camps is “say what you want about the GOP”.

Interesting that the end to birthright citizenship is “say what you want about th GOP”.

Interesting that trans erasure and genocide is “say what you want about the GOP”.

Interesting that the annexation of Gaza into Israel is “say what you want about the GOP”.

None of that matters to you though. When it comes to the GOP, the only thing that really matters to you is not people saying what they want, because you allowed it, but that the GOP upheld the values of Democracy in it’s primary elections and did not rig it’s primary for someone other than Donald Trump to win.

Say what you want about the GOP.

Because under the hood x11 code is such a hacky mess the developers found it easier to start from scratch than add new features like HDR and VRR to x11.

If new features don’t matter to you, there’s still plenty of distros and DE’s and WM’s that ship x11 and will continue for a very long time.
