People have such a hatred for steam that they focus only on that and not the wider picture. Up to 30% US tax on games sold through steam from outside countries. Crazy. Those who make games in the us face 0% there and only income tax. They used a publisher that that took ~40%

It's really sad that the games industry is drained by a 30% tax on gross revenue. You could vibe code a Steam alternative in a week. Cloudflare egress is basically free. The industry is in desperate need of a distribution platform that allows developers to keep their revenue. Networks effects and the fanatic obsession with "muh Steam library" will make this very difficul. But if devs could actually keep their earnings, we'd have a greater selection of better games and far more financial success stories.

They even put a good point that their marker they chose is china which resulted in a staggering 22% refund rate due to how strict players in that country are with games.

My point in the end is not everyone wil have the same outcome as this lovely developer. Some may be based in one of the nine states in america where there is no income tax (clears up the irs and income tax lines) And that 30% steam cut goes to 20% from revenue from all sales.

So. I love capitalism but this isnt the exact proof you want since its using percentage. 50% on $1000 is $500 7% (which is roughly where the us is at) of $50000 is $3,500 Now this does point out that the amount we spend on food in relation to the rest of what we spend, is less.

America has the cheapest food in the world. So maybe you should support capitalism????

You’re offered: $1,000,000 salary for ONE year. But you have to work: 36 hours/week Only 2 weeks paid vacations Every other weekend required Fully remote After exactly one year, you’re done. Are you sacrificing one year of your life for the money?

Something to note. Unless the wording of the law is different from what i am guessing. Its only going to effect government loans. You can still get other loans, and scholarships. Hopefully this makes these courses cheaper, but that may be asking too much.

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/NmmAzhf

Trump Moves to Cut Off Student Loans for Tons of College Programs

Under a new rule, if a college program’s graduates don’t make enough money, it won’t be eligible for student loans.

Seeing this comparison, its kinda annoying me that Kojima wore the PlayStation jacket but Hermen didn't that day Asha clearly understands the power of good branding and isnt wasting this moment. Better vibes and better look all around

That camera angle ruins it for me. Hopefully the camera angle isnt static like that for that scene. I love seeing a good chin shot and that looks like it could have been one.

Funny enough. To me the king looks much better in s2 and makes me wonder if they redesigned him first and made everyone else to fit his design change.

No. Steam doesnt use this model in the way you think it does. Steam is like a marketplace where each dev/publisher has their own stall. Each dev/pub can decide whether they give a license or not. They utilize steam's drm to enforce their license.

It is for this reason that when a game is delisted, you keep the game on your library. But the dev/pub can remove the game from the store and your library, like the crew for example.
