You can get a RaspPi instead, and after a year or two you’ll have saved enough electricity to have paid for itself.

It certainly isn’t when you’re spending more than that just to get exclusives.
You’re right. Hosting files is more difficult than creating art for the game. Steam deserves a bigger cut than artists.
Game files and updates need to be distributed
You also recognize that 30% of each game sale applies to each game sale, right?
Do you really think 30% of developing a game is hosting not just the original game, but also the updates and the save files? CDNs only make it cheaper.
Steam is able to charge 30% because they effectively have a walled garden on PC games. Very few publishers are well known enough to successfully sell their game outside of Steam.
It’s not as egregious as the Apple or Google stores, but they’re basically all in this together. It’s like the old mob families where they split territory.
most are quite happy with the services they get back from that 30% cut.
I agree with most of that, but this part just isn’t true. 30% is highway robbery. It’s a scam. But PC gamers are trained that Steam is where the games are, with few exceptions. If you don’t pay steam their cut, your game doesn’t sell at all.
Consider all that goes into development of a game and compare that to the effort/infrastructure to host a download and display a webpage. Is Steam really providing 30% of the game experience?
I think Steam could be profitable at less than a 10% cut.
Are you armed? You don’t have to reveal political affiliation to go to a gun range and learn how to shoot and basic gun safety.
This isn’t even close to the other, actual stochastic terrorism they’ve done before.
If they were going to get charged for it, it shouldn’t be this one.
Now, whoever runs the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire account, that feels like an actual crime.
The cat thing should disqualify him as president because he’s blatantly lying. But it’s not a crime.
I don’t know that Ukraine could have done this well in 2014, even with help. They had 8 years to prepare for the next round that they knew was coming.
And the only reason he can be retried is that not all jurors agreed. Had they just refused to enforce the law, then they walk free forever (at least from that crime).
They evacuated schools today, by the way. Bomb threats. Parents had to pick up their kids at a different school.
She says 9/11 was an inside job, so Trump invited her to the 9/11 memorial this week.
It’s almost like they have an agenda.
Kessler Syndrome trumps this application of Moore’s Law.
I’ll have to try to get a picture from the YouTube ad next time I see it. It doesn’t seem real. It’s two shirtless kids with giant line scars from armpit to armpit. I don’t think there’s any legitimate surgery that creates scars like that.

Wow, how did they find two 10-year-olds to pose with horrible breast reduction scars across their chest to pose for this commercial I keep seeing in Ohio?
Important government secrets will be strictly separated from personal/civilian devices. The only classified information being transmitted by personal devices is the location and human knowledge of the owners.
He doesn’t. He may serve Russian interests at times, but he’s not a direct report the way Tim Pool and many of our government elected officials are.
And they conveniently ignore everything that doesn’t align with what they want to believe.
It’s lemmy.ml. They’re always like this.
