It’s sad when somebody hates themselves.

If you treat it exactly as it should be - as a loan that must be paid off within X months, so your payment must be $Y/X per month - then there isn’t a problem with it. A lot of people don’t realize that, though, especially when the store offers a “no payment” component on top of deferred interest.

Does money fall out of your boss’ mouth when they say “Good job” to you? Perhaps look up the word “commended” in the dictionary.

What’s really a dumb way to think is to take what one person says, insert words that they didn’t say, and then proceed to rip them apart for saying something they never said.

You don’t mean to sound like a jerk, but instead of sticking with “Yeah, that sucks,” you chose to go the extra mile and invent things that the commenter supposedly demanded like a promotion or extra pay, none of which was stated or implied.

Valve did not invent the 30% cut. Handango claims that distinction. (The website’s history section and the Wikipedia article are identical, though the Wikipedia article has at least some citations, so I’m not sure which was copied from which, and therefore I’m not sure how accurate it is.)

The point I was making about gift cards was not about the cost per card for manufacturing, but rather the stat by the initial poster in this thread stating that stores keep 10% of a gift card’s sale price, which would leave 90% of the revenue to Valve. That of course doesn’t include Valve’s actual expense in…

Exclusivity is precisely the problem when you use it as a club to beat potential customers into submission, which is exactly what Epic is doing.

Itch.io is quite niche, for one thing, and also doesn’t sell gift cards in stores, which Valve does quite a lot of for Steam, and definitely doesn’t have the overhead of Steam, which includes things like their API (massively-popular achievements system, trading cards), item trading and sales, and multiplayer…

Right, because “cocksucker” has not been a euphemism for gay for, like, forever now.

It’s not called “Faze Clan.” That would just be silly. Come on, now.

Seems like “Welcome to Giordano’s. I’m Me. Our deep dish pizzas are cooked fresh to order and can take about 45 minutes. What can I get you to drink?” would take care of it without an extraneous question and answer.

This is why you are literally the exact person that excreting bodily fluids on food was invented for. Could you be any more of a douche?

*committee’s responsibility

I agree with you except to the degree that it crowds out actual interesting creations from other players. I don’t know how the game determines what shows up for you, since I presume there are (or will at some point be) more created missions than would be able to show in any given area without completely taking over…

Congratulations, Captain Obvious? Like, I want to meet the person that didn’t see that coming.

One thing I miss, as a self-employed work-from-home transcriptionist, is surprise sex mechanics in the office.

It’s also pointless because no triple A publisher will touch a loot box if they can avoid it now

Are you completely daft or do you just act that way on the internet?

It should have already been there, considering it’s Microsoft-published and all of their first-party games should be in Game Pass already. Don’t know why it wasn’t.
