Ah, yes, capitalism. Because they don’t have to pay to maintain servers and infrastructure or anything, right?
Nor do they pay for bandwidth when you download your 100gb game for the nth time in the past month.
Nor do they have a ton of functions and services for both devs and consumers like easy refunds, regional pricing, steam keys, trading cards, steam workshop, steam forums, chatrooms, remote play... just to name some.
Yeah, such moneygrabbing comic book villains that just sit in their pile of money and don't provide anything good.
I think it's less about perception of time as you're experiencing it right now.
Like, a month to me right now feels much MUCH shorter than a month when I was a kid. Much more when we talk about years. But an hour is still going to be as long or as short as it wouldve been whether or not I'm doing something.
