This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I’d rather gaming developers have that money than casinos.
If only it was the programmers and the development team that received 100% of every purchase.
I'm willing to be ridiculous, because the pittance most workaday programmers and designers get from their hits is also ridiculous.
Yeah, even 50% would be baller. So like 20% to the storefront, 20% to the publisher, and 10% to random other costs.
They won't admit it, but most AAA game companies are casinos
Same. Most of the money I spend on games goes to indie devs, and I'll usually only buy a AAA if it's either on steep discount or actually really good. Something like 70% to indies, 30% to AAA.
Too bad money goes directly to the publisher to decide who gets what.
