Why is this getting posted so often?

[-] ysjet@lemmy.world 39 points 4 months ago

Because Epic Games is really hoping to turn people against steam any way they can other than actually improving their service or morals.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 4 months ago

And how... is this supposed to help that?

[-] HauntedCupcake@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

By making it seem that Steam is raking in money and uh, money bad?

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 months ago

This is so silly. Do people think hosting thousands of games and having thousands of users is cheap?

[-] Daveyborn@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Millions* of users, I guarantee it isn't cheap.

[-] HauntedCupcake@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

tbf, it's likely significantly cheaper than the 30% margin. I still think it's silly though

[-] TurboHarbinger@feddit.cl 37 points 4 months ago

This is a "they are hoarding all the profits" "they're not open to stock exchange" "why I can't have a piece if this cake, it's unfair" kind of news.

Pure pressure politics.

Who should they share it with?

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Just me. Don't worry, I'll do great things with it. Trust me, bro.

[-] shadowspirit@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

You sound confident. Like a person I can trust.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

gives confidence too. like some sort of superhero that has confidence powers. you could name him, uh... let me think...

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 32 points 4 months ago

I honestly think it's a badge of honor.

I worked in a company where we had 1000+ engineers on a SAAS platform for three years. And it barely has the same relevance or reach as Steam.
