Now do the same with Sony, Epic, Microsoft and whatever other store there is around.
The reason gaming is a meme and they have to hire Indians to do the job for cheap is because all the money is being taken by middleman.
Eventually all you will have is fat fucks with boat's and no game's.

cry more shitty indie dev
your shit game isnt worth playing for free in a flash games site
>>

Every generation you idiots cry that nobody is making games anymore and never asked why.
This is the reason you have a parasite on your back

People want good games. Sometimes the industry makes them, sometimes it doesn't. Indiecucks NEVER make good games. Tranny story time mixed with bing bing wahoo is not a video game, its your fucking digital journal
>>
>>749040252
You are literally paying for 200 games every year but you are getting 0 because the money is taken by people that provide nothing
>>
>Steam
>Ticketmaster
>Doordash
I hate these jewish companies so much its unreal
>>
But you can just not publish on Steam
>>
>>749040864
Can you?
Do you think Google will not hide whatever site you create at page 1000.
Are you delusional enough to think they have no competition and they are playing fair?
All these companies have the same strategy.
Run for years without a profit or very little until you kill all companies.
Then run it like a monopoly

>Can you?
Yes.

>>749038463
Worse, revenue is the only thing mentioned.
These corps could be earning revenue here and STILL be in debt or in negative cash flows.
>>
>>749040252
>NEVER
Now that's some bullshit. Unfortunately, as with everything in life, indie games also suffers from sturgeon's law so there's gonna be a mountain of shit you gotta go through before you get anything decent.

>>749038463
Valve are vampires sucking the life out of the PC platform.

>>749041281
If it's actually possible you would see alternatives all the time.
And you should but since you don't whay do you believe nobody is putting their thumb on the scales?

Now if they have an expected rise in repayment next year that doesn't meet this revenue amount, that's kinda a problem.
God I love interest and honeymoon periods and mortgages. :^)

>we all said "we should ban honeymoon loans"
>instead we made more than we did pre gfc

This is when I gave up on humanity's problems and decided extermination is the only way.

they all take 30% and sony is only digital for one more year.
>>
>>749041974
Yah that's the point.
We should be swimming in games instead the middleman are swimming in pussy and we are paying them to fuck our woman.

No what MS will do is take a game that:
>was long dead, ignored by MS for a decade and a half
>revived by the sheer autism of a community of people that got it to work on OSes that it wasn't built for
>give a few modders a trickle of money to produce a version they could sell on steam and could play on modern windows
>Promoted further by the sheer autism of a couple people that watched the games online with others, that further gave it monetary interest
>give it another "definitive edition" which, despite it being kinda buggy, got a bit more interest as patches and dlc was added, further growing a completely dead game's community
>it makes profit, fucking profit

>lol lets sack everyone and now Activision you are making it
>they (will) proceed to sack everybody making it run well because it competes with IPs they control more and know better
>oh and we'll reveal this on the day of the final decent DLC they will make, before fucking making everything a micro-transaction and force feed shit to other MS games they would rather you play

Apparently talks about this shit began mere weeks after I started to look at AoE2 again. It's like they're programmed to destroy ANYTHING I like nowadays.
>but why is AAA failing?
Because you do this EVERY time. Every fucking time. First it was Rare, then it was Halo, then it was Blizzard's old games, now apparently 10cent are fucking around with FS's games, and now my precious AoE2. You couldn't even let that one go. You just had to fuck with me one more time.
>>
If they've been tracking fans of Rare and that was the reason why they let rare die, then clearly they've been profiling people by genes since the 90s and you were targeted since the 90s.
Which explains a whole bunch of other shit that happened in my life.

So what you're saying is that videogame stores should host videogames for free even if they're also hosting the servers for said videogames and take care of payment processing and automatic update distribution, community management, mod hosting and all of that stuff?
>>
>>749043194
Yes or I will fucking kill them.
I don't have the capital.
You have all the capital.

This is all I have now.
Capitalism only works when you put bullets through peoples brains.
>>
>>749043194
No I'm saying nobody should pay billions for hosting that costs millions.

>stores taking a cut is a new recent development and not how every industry has ever worked since the dawn of humanity

the color of your mom's skin is the color of my shit

>>749043369
Yes they do deserve it. Because they make money off socially engineering you and ruining your life in the background.
Fuck them.

They deserve this hell.
Make it trillions.

>hire Indians to do the job for cheap is because all the money is being taken by middleman
Halo Campaign Evolved had 2,000 people work on it.
>>
>>749042734
But the people that are working on AoE2 and 4 are external studios. Modders included. What were laid off were middle managers and some people who were working on probably AoE5 in Unreal Engine 5.
>>
>>749038463
>NOOOOOOO you HAVE to hire 500-1000 devs to make a generic AAA game that takes 7 years to develop
not my problem

If you like gaming this is the only platform to do it on now. Nintendo has been killing it lately with their masterpieces.
>>
>>749044313
Keep believing you have a free market or that you aren't already living in comunism.
Btw 30% of the entire workforce of America works for the government that means your elections are completely fucked nobody will ever vote to loose their Jobs.

For now.
Watch.

It's already impacting elo and events apparently.
They think it's a recent successful IP and not a revived knife edge IP that returned. They don't realise how brittle things are though.
>>
>>749044451
Yeah they've been killing people with their lawyers and marketing that's for sure.
Death to nintendo.
