!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It's really interesting to see how out of touch with reality these folks are, really an eye opening article.

If Gaben wasn't in it for the money, he wouldn't be able to afford a fleet of 6 mega yatchs worth 1 billion and costing him 100 million per year just to maintain. He grabs 30% and enjoys his soft monopoly just like every other big videogame store.

A lot of that 30% goes to things other digital stores aren't even close to offering. Also, if your game does well enough the cut Steam takes is lowered, albeit this only really happens for very successful games.

Can't be all that much of it going towards features considering how profitable Valve is.

Yup. Gabe's... Unethical to say the least. I have not respect for anyone with even a single mega yacht. And he has so many.
