Its true. Ops argument is basically same as calling ai prompters real artists. Its better to support who you can in good faith to keep funding projects that you like. Sure theres a point in pirating call of yearly remake: basic bitch 6 or yet another disney owned copy paste as low effort slop gets funded no matter what with the people working on it being compensated and fired after end of a project anyway. But I try to compensate to smaller outfits whenever I can and at the very least advertise them.

I see your point but give you an republican reply: "The european mind cannot comprehend this.*

Who cares about ceos except tankies. Ice and everyone in white house are friends of the people. Every single American must pray for their well being daily.

Its illegal to get caught. And even then only in a country that is completely cucked, eg america.

I guess sell your game via email an google drive then if steam is so worthless and offers nothing.

of course someone from tankie triad would argue against facts because their fee fees got hurt.

Same, we all HATED steam in the beginning.

No. If I were to release a game, how big a % would I have to spend out of my revenue to get all the features steam offers?

The companies Ive worked at and my friends have worked at. When theyve been shit theyve been exclusively semi successful indies.

Maybe its cause they have baths?

Theres a lot more good companies that are profitable and pay their employees well than there are not.

Soviet union and other commie nations would regularly kill or send to torture death camps the workers who did not meet the quotas.

Find me the cost of getting all the features steam offers you yourself then.

Valve offers you: Entire infrastructure and great download servers. Anticheat, hosting mods on the server, forums, community gallery, reviews and visibility based on your reviews and category, easy way to update the game, do dlc and all other things and making your game run on linux.

Valve dont get shit since the value they provide for the 30% is cheaper compared to what it would cost you to do it yourself. Besides they were undercutting the market in the beginning.

They are, valve has good wages. Almost all big game studios have good wages. It’s the indies who are scummy with their wages regularly.

I’ve gone fedora gnome, fedora kde, mint and now am on endeavour gnome. It’s not windows, installing a new distro is painless and I keep my settings in a separate drive.

Lame. Write your own source or you aren’t allowed in linux.

I have endeavour os. Arch btw.

Oh and step 7: Spend 10 minutes quitting, restarting discord and then restarting your pc to fix innumerable and common audio bugs caused by terrible windows drivers.

Or quit out of your game to restart and install updates.

“just fine” is not what gamers want, besides sometimes new drivers offer sizeable boosts to stability and framerates.
