So what's the advantage of funneling 30% of the entire PC gaming industry's income into yachts
So what's the advantage of using anything else? Oh right, there isn't any.
Life has no meaning.
GAMING
do you think he jerks off onto that thing?
what's the point of being rich as in I can use money as toilet papper and don't give a fuck richyou got a yacht, coolnow get bigger yachtlike imagine thinking some gorillionaire or celeb is out there playing the same dogshit games like you (henry cavill, musk with diablo etc), feels unreal to me
he can and he wants towhen you have 30% of the entire PC gaming industry's income you can do whatever the fuck you want with it
>>727729718fuck off sweeney, we get it you're jealous
He's prepping for Waterworld
>>727729718It's for his marine science hobby, he does have a life outside of gaming unlike you.
>>727730181the ones that aren't sociopaths/psychopaths do the same things but at a higher overall level of quality because they don't have to give a shit about how much something costs, they just do itthe rich either are content with living 'life +1' where they aren't worried about money or they specifically seek out richfag shit to do that either skirts or blows past the line of morality to feel anything, like hunting people on a slave reserve or fucking kids on Epstein Island
>>727729718Making you personally mad.
Alternative world where Valve doesn't exist!>"I'm an indie dev and I want to sell my game!">You earn nothing on PC because everybody just pirates! In fact, you're more in the hole because, without Steam, you had to sink money having game DVD's printed that nobody bought>Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft unanimously tell you to fuck off unless you get the backing to become one of the big game developers/publishers to support youBut hey, maybe your game will become a cult classic. Sure, everybody pirated it, but they loved it!
>>727729718anyone who tells you "dont use steam because of the 30% cut" is advertising egs to you. the conversation has no other answer than egs because that's the only store that doesn't take 30%. you cannot respond to "ok what store should i switch to?" with gog because they also take 30%. you cannot respond with switching to consoles either because consoles take 30%. every single time, the statement "you should not use steam because of the 30% cut" only has one real response, and the statement is set up in a way to make the egs seem like the only real alternative to steam.
>>727730818worse actually, without Steam Microsoft probably would've been still dominating the market with either GFWL or a successor they decided to make
>>727730115Probably.
I'm going to redeem this card
>>727730115He's the 'eck poster.
>>727731540i thought that was an it*lian
Why do lefties care what successful people do with their own money? Just stop being shit at life. I'm an ex heroin addict and my wife is a yuropoor immigrant and we still gross like a quarter million dollars a year.
>>727731763>lefties>hating steam.Its right wing contrarians, Brazilians, and Indians that hate gabe
>>727729718>he could finance like 30 AAA games for every yacht he buys>has dozens of yachts>gabengoblins will still defend this fat sack of shit
>>727729718ask Gaben. it's his money
>>727730876>BUT EVERYONE ELSE DOES ITshut up nigger

>>727732710-10 Izzat, shouldn't have responded, lil Jeet
>>727729718ngl it would be nice if he funded some games... it'd only take a fraction if the money he wasted on yachts
>>727729718The last thing modern devs need is to be paid more. If anything they should be paid less for being measurably shit at everything relative to devs of 20 years ago.
>>727732710Tell me store I should use instead. Remember, the store can't take 30% either.
>>727732710You're right, only Steam LOWERS their cut after certain sales milestones. They are generous huh?
Why does he need so many?
>>727730115somebody post that one gif
>>727732710pajeet mad
>>727732980Have you tried the Epic Games Store?
>>727729718You can sell the yacht again and make most of the money back
>>727729718Good morning sir.
>>727729718So he can game on his yacht
he's innovating maritime gaming
>>727732862sheesh
>>727730876>because that's the only store that doesn't take 30%Itch.io actually lets developers set how much of a percentage goes to them. Fuck, they even let devs set it so all profits go to the devs. Kind of makes you wonder why Timmy doesn't let devs do that when he brags about how much he cares about developers and wants to make sure they get the most out of their sales of the game.
>>727736756>Kind of makes you wonder why Timmy doesn't let devs do thatWell he wants it to be a descent source of income and AWS services aren't free at scale
egs is better
>>727734174
I like eggsthey yummy
>>727731245BLOODY BITCH BASTARD DO KOT REDEEM
>>727729718There isn't.Steam drones are console war niggers and don't play video games.The steam drone calls you epic shill as he spams endless valve dickriding threads in catalogue every single day for years.And the average tourist tends to absorb the most retard goyim opinion (the most popular) instead of the most reasonable and factual opinions (which are fewer and rarer) it's not hard to imagine how so many retards unironically started shilling gaybe jewell with their copious nitpicks and borderline schizophrenic invincible ignorance fallacy.I mean we live in a world of publicity and advertisement. Retards, shills, schizos stick to each other like glue. Most people don't care about actual truth and just want to be part of the big herd and feel validated. If a meme dies they'll just jump to the next and act like nothing happened. That's npcs for you.
it's still a thousand times less waste than any publicly traded company.
>>727729718what's the point of you being jealous of another man's success?he built a successful platform, he can buy as many damn yachts as he wants
>>727741316Well then. I hope you won't mind when I fuck your wife while you sit in cuck chair. You are not jealous are you?>NOOOO NOT THE SAME THINGShut up nigger. You make it sound like he is some innocent little puppy and we are coming to crash his sand castle. You are defending a ruthless billionaire on the internets. Think about what you are doing here.
>>727741103>>727741529Ok then if stores that take 30% are bad then what stores should I use?
>>727729718I thought he lost a ton of weightWhy does he look fat again
>>727741613>Ok then if the countries use my tax to support illegal wars then what stores should I use?lmao this isn't a competition anonfuck offyou can pirate singleplayer games but most multiplayer games are locked behind some launcherwhat is a cs fag, fortnite underage going to do? not use steam/epic? literally impossible
>>727741847Hold the fuck up, if the problem is that developers aren't getting enough money, then wouldn't piracy be even worse than a 30% cut?
His bootlicking simp fanboys will justify it for him after he steps on their balls again.
>>727742021hey didn't you already admit that you get butthurt about pc because you work a shitty job that doesn't pay enough to buy a good one?
>>727741954Donate your money to developer then retarded drone
>>727742075I make 22.50 an hour, I could buy a PC if I wanted to.
>>727742170Are you in the wrong thread? This thread is about how steam takes too much money from developers.
>>727742205>derails topic>makes dumbass claims to different posters>asks irrelevant time wasting questions>pretends to be retardedbroooooooo if you are going to bait at least amuse us
>>727742364What does the OP say? Can you quote it for me?
>>727742420why did you reply to me without addressing anything i said and instead asking irrelevant questions?
>>727742480how the fuck am i derailing the topic by talking about what the op says?
>>727729718he's got that george rr martin phenotype of being a despicable fat hedonist who gets needlessly praised
>>727742594You asked if 30% is bad what should I doYou got told to pirateYou said but they don't get moneyYou got told you can donate to indie devs regardlessYou are done. You lost.GTFO nigger
>>727729718So make something better and no Tim "I hate monopolies but you have to use windows" Sweeny did not and will not ever be able to do that.
>>727742883If you think that developers not getting enough money is the problem then why the fuck would you suggest giving them no money as a solution? Do you not understand why your logic is retarded?
>727742883uh oh someone's having a melty
>>727743007Can you not read? If you are concerned about dev you can buy it from their site or just donate the money directly to them.Steam drone mind broken i guess.
>>727741529i'd normally ask if you're 12 but you're in your 20s and still this fucking retardedand there is a high chance you're also a shitskin
>>727743101Are you illiterate? What the fuck? I'm trying to discuss the topic of the thread and you told me to pirate games. Like what the fuck does that have to do with anything? What does piracy have to do with what I said?
>>727729718He's developing irl Borealis, give him some time
>727743072>727743140>727743160>MOOM I AM BAITING ON THE INTERNETZI accept your concession
>>727729718Big mad respect from me. It's a based move that styles on everyone, especially console fags.Long live king Gabe.
it's sad how giving all the profit to one guy still works out better than publicly traded globohomo corporations. owning tiny fractions of a company is retarded
>>727743664Are you a zoomer? I heard that your generation doesn't know how to read, would explain a lot.
>>727730818This is the best outcome. Consoles gave a quality filter to game creation, pc opened the floodgates where literally any no name, talentless faggot can put out pure shit.
>>727743865You're acting like console games weren't shit back in the day too and that indies aren't threatening them into not being shit now due to alternatives
>>727729718Proton
>>727733879
how fat is this nigga
>>727729718I've never seen this guy play a video game, or hold a controller.
>>727747238ive seen him eat a few
>>727729718You get to sail around and do fun shit on them
>>727746242Not nearly as fat as he used to be
One time when I was in high school i emailed Gabe on a whim and he actually responded and sent me a new shirt. I legitimately can't be mad about his 8 yachts or whatever.
Gaben actively contributes to research and our knowledge of the ocean.Also sure seems to be a lot of seething about Valve recently. Perfectly natural.
>>727730818Before steam most cool indie games had they own site and blog
>>727743865>Consoles gave a quality filter to game creation>Consoles gave a quality filter to game creation>Consoles gave a quality filter to game creation>Consoles gave a quality filter to game creation>Consoles gave a quality filter to game creationlol
>>727729718>So what's the advantage of funneling 30% of the entire PC gaming industry's income into yachtsBecause it then gets funneled into the New Zealand/Australian economy, which pays for their neets who keep making great games.
>>727743865>Consoles gave a quality filter to game creation
>>727750791>>727750189The average PC game is worse than shovel ware, even all the "classics" of PC are genuinely bad games
I actually can't believe retards download this bloated drm and let it run on startup.I use it for steamvr because I'm not giving valve a fucking cent that fat kike can choke on a dick and die.
>>727750879There's probably more shovelware on PC than any other platform, but that doesn't really matter when there are so many great PC games that stand alongside or even surpass the greatest console games.>even all the "classics" of PC are genuinely bad gamesOh nevermind you're just retarded
>>727743865>Consoles gave a quality filter to game creationcounter-point
>>727729718Deep sea research
>>727729718>your money doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the ~PC gaming industry~Hello commie
>>727750979>bloatedIt uses like no memory.
>>727732710So why is only a problem when Valve does it?
>>727752150Valve VAC banned OP for cheating and he can't access his CS skins, so yes.
not having to pay property tax and other upkeeping costs assciated with maintaining a building means that the company can keep prices down
>>727729718>So what's the advantage of funneling 30% of the entire PC gaming industry's income into yachts
>>727752346But at least then you had a slow, failure prone disc and one activation of a CD key that would be void if you reinstalled Windows.
>>727729718He bought a yacht builder shipyard recenlty (Oceanco). With how inequality will just keep rising unless some calamity happens (read The Great Leveler) betting on the rich buying custom yachts to avoid being landlocked isn't a bad investment.
>>727733085ouchie!
>>727729718safetyif he didn't spend his life on a boat, he'd get assasinated and valve would get sold, go public and get ravaged by investors
>>727729718Making Rothschilds mad, mostly, because a good rich person is actually beloved, as they got rich by being awesome, and not a predatory scam artist, like Zuckerberg per example.Their golems cry & spam bait threads like these to appease their masters, I hope you kill yourself TODAY, OP
>>727751397>Deep sea researchThe only thing they are "researching" on Gabe's yachts is how many dicks underage girls can take.
>>727732525Steamies are the most devoted cultists in the world.
>>727753292nah, gaben is not a loliconhe looks like a booba man, especially in his younger nerdier years
>>727753374Shame you're VAC banned and poor.
>>727753528
>>727753531Sounds like projection, steamie drone.
ITT
Based Fat Fuck Gabe mindbreaking third worlders, trannies, jews and his competition by just existing
>>727729718proton is pretty nice, not needing to funnel money towards microsoft to play a videogame is very cool
>NOOOOOOOO WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU NOT FUNDING MUH HECKIN VIDEOGAMES AND INSTEAD DO ACTUAL COOL SHIT
Also, reminder to all Steamie drones:Fatfuck gabencunt is the one who allowed AI sloppa on the Steam. They banned it in 2023 but then rolled back their decision later because turning Steam into a digital landfill where you can't find good games made them more money. This decision was spearheaded by gabencunt himself.If you support fatfuck gabencunt and valve you subsequently support AI and it pricing you out of system components. That is all.
>>727753567absolutely
this kill the rockstar drone:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGpFEv1-mAo
>>727732390as a leftist i also hate Gabe same as any other landlord
>>727733085the rates on consoles are unverifiable.the google app store rate is out of date its lower now.the epic store rate is out of date, its 0% now
>>727753732>where you can't find good gameswhy do you use a storefront to find new games?
>Timdian thread
how do you get good internet on a yacht?
>>727754156it says 2019 at the bottom of the pagebut i agree - up to date information would be preferable
>earn money>you can't spend it as you wantImagine being a car dealer and being forced to invest your earnings into Ford or something, because it would seem disrespectful to customers to spend it on your hobbies
>>727755734Starlink. It works great. It is quite reliable except in areas with GPS-spoofing (he coast in front of Israel).
>>727751078It was kino, zoomies just can't appreciate the classics
>>727729718>valve funneling 30% of money into deep sea research, linux support/destroying microjeet monopoly and the most convenient pc gaming platform in existence>meanwhile epig funnels money into flooding the internet with more jeets shilling a shitty platform that even the lowest standard fortnite zoomers wouldn't use to buy games
>>727733085having a very hard time understanding how xbox made almost twice as much in games sales as steam, even if the figure includes hardware
>>727729718If Valve lowers their rates too much they'd have the US government dropping on their ass with a anti-competitive pricing lawsuit. Valve probably looked at Nintendo, Sony, Xbox, Apple, GOG, retail stores and followed that standard.Valve is already destroying the competition in the PC space. They would have extremely high margins even if they lowered their rates to 10% and would end up destroying the only remaining competition even more if they did and fucking nobody would release on GOG, Itch, or EGS.
>>727729718the same advantage to give it to american liberals
