GoG isn’t a platform, they just sell keys. That’s GoG’s fault for not wanting to build their own platform, not Steam keeping GoG out of the marketplace.

Happy to clear it up. Now spread the truth far and wide! Developers need gamers on their side in these conversations.

6/26/19

YES OF COURSE THEY WILL DO THIS.

Valve made like $4 billion last year and Epic made $3 billion so this is hardly David and Goliath.

They are already the market leader and the majority of consumers already prefer to buy their games on Steam.

The developer/publisher sells the key to these storefronts or inside physical boxes. Steam doesn’t give keys to other storefronts.

I’m confused.

6/26/19

The simple reason is Steam gives the developer/publisher the ability to create steam keys and sell them outside of steam, while steam gets no part of that revenue

there has still been zero guarantee from anyone that the additional profit goes to the developer rather than publisher’s pockets. If developers have been able to make games with the 30% cut, why would publishers feel the need to increase their pay while keeping their own pay the same? How does that appeal to…

Netscape had the superior web browser, by far. So, Microsoft just started giving IE away, because they didn’t need to make money off the browser, while Netscape did.

Yeah, people tend to forget that. Avatar (like Titanic) was a Xmas release, but it ran for months, and was thrown back into theaters that summer (with bonus content, just like Endgame).

YES! Emily’s plot this season is so, so good, and Alexis Bledel is doing incredible, unbelievably moving work with the material. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Moss is being forced to play every moment to the cheap seats (cue ironic rock song!).

What possible reason do the Waterfords have to include June in their live(?) televised plea? It seemed to be set up for maximum audience shock value, rather than any narrative logic.

Canada’s offer to protect Serena still stands

Nope. When counting off, you count up (1-2-3-4), not down.

6/18/19

Edit: I was too late

6/18/19

Yes, because we all remember “Episode III - The Empire Strikes Back.”

6/18/19

Oh yes, I remember “Star Wars: Episode III - The Empire Strikes Back.”

6/17/19

Who starts a countdown with “4" ??

6/17/19

Yeah, you missed my point entirely.
