That's very neat then, you'd probably get sued anyway cause companies don't care, but it does make me want to make a game like that and see what happens.
It's not about you and your inferiority complex, either.
You're much closer to ending up on the street than you are from any billionaire that exists.
I'm also much closer to the center of the earth than the sun, I'm still quite far from either, and I'm not very worried about being near either anytime soon.
Short of world war 3 or some other world-shaking catastrophe that won't be my problem alone, I'm pretty sure my biggest worries are my health and not getting hit by a car, rather than sudden bankruptcy, and I don't live in the US so the former can't lead to the latter.
Now off to the block list you go, people like you don't deserve anyone's attention.
You're not a plane, you don't need to announce your departure.
I'm more than economically comfortable, by no means a billionaire but I'm not hurting like, at all. I own my own home, I am set to inherit like 2 more houses, I make good money at a stable job, I have time for my hobbies and a family I love.
I want for nothing that I can't have, with some patience.
Gaben having a Yacht collection makes no difference to me, Steam existing and Valve doing what they do does, so I am happy to see them thrive.
Not everyone is an envious crab in a bucket who feels the constant need to compare themselves to others and ensure nobody is more well off than they are.
What a sad life you must lead that you get this angry over something that doesn't affect you in the least, or did Gabe outbid you on your dream yacht?
You realize that the cut they’re taking ends up being used to pay for a yacht collection, right?
God forbid a man spend his money however he wants. Get that commie bullshit out of here.
Money changes hands consensually and Gaben/Valve have more than earned mine. Treating your customers like they are your priority in running a service will do that.
There’s nothing great about Valve at this point
Except their massive contributions to the Open Source/Linux ecosystems with Vulkan and Proton, SteamVR being the only properly supported agnostic VR library, and them basically being the one thing between us and Microsoft becoming a walled garden when it comes to gaming, and more recently the Steam Deck?
Sounds like he's done a lot of research and has kept an open mind. He's also wise in suggesting to go into therapy and see if there may be other causes/co-causes.
Anecdotal, but a friend of mine has ADHD and once she started treatment for that she also lost like 95% of her feelings of dysphoria and decided to postpone transitioning until she could figure her shit out a bit more.
Years later she's decided she's fine as she is and saved herself shittons of money and physical suffering with no real drawback.
It's important not to be emotionally attached to a diagnosis.
It is a feminist action because a large swathe of South Korean feminists openly adopted it as a shibboleth, whether it is consistent with the principles of your preferred brand of feminism is irrelevant.
It'd be the same as saying protesting in front of abortion clinics in the US isn't Christian (except Christianity has explicit rules so the comparison isn't 1:1) when most if not all protesters would cite their religion as their motivation.
Gaben said stuff to the effect "of steam were to shut down we would take steps to allow your library to stay offline forever" but that is nowhere in the tos and also doesn't really mean much for the fear that steam will stay and progressively enshittify.
Truly a fate worse than death.
