  • There is a smart and funny french comic on this concept: "Imbattable" by Pascal Jousselin

    The author plays with all the rules/codes of the European comics, one character can go through pages, another uses their speech "bubbles" as weapons, one uses the perspective of the objets, and the hero "Imbattable" can go through the page's frame.

    English version

    Highly recommended !

  • https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#can-i-use-private-repositories-for-my-project?

    Can I use private repositories for my project?

    In many cases, yes, but please read on. Our goal is to support Free Content, and we do not act as a private hosting for everyone! However, if we see that you contribute to Free Software / Content and the ecosystem, we allow up to 100 MB of private content for your convenience. Further exceptions are spelled out in our Terms of Service:

    Private repositories are only allowed for things required for FLOSS projects, like storing secrets, team-internal discussions or hiding projects from the public until they're ready for usage and/or contribution.

    If you are still not sure if your usage is allowed or if you require a lot of private space for a Free Software project, please send us a formal request and we'll have a look.

    So if you use a GitHub private repository to store some private data, e.g. your bash config or home server setup, Codeberg is not the right replacement. Any European alternatives?

  • And the worst is: your saves are not even stored in your IOI account: A Steam save is not visible on EGS and vice versa.

    It seems the "always online" feature is just for the leaderboards, alias the stuff I don't give a fuck about.

    This is a shame because Hitman WOA is really great.

  • I read somewhere that Librewolf is not recommended because they are a small team and slow to patch vulnerabilities / integrate security fixes from Firefox.

    Is it true? (Sincere question)

  • I have read your link but they didn't say the EGS is at loss specifically because of the 12% cut nor that the Fortnite money is subsidizing the lower cut.

    It could be that the EGS is at loss because creating a new store and client from scratch costs money ?

    To be honest here, we don't have the numbers to say exactly how much margin Valve is making. But my guess is the following: if EGS estimated that with a 12% cut they could be profitable if they had enough customers, it makes me think that the cut of valve is way overinflated in regards to their costs.

    And yes Fortnite is awfully predatory. But the topic is Valve and Steam there 🙂

  • Whats his problem?

    Jump

  • Maybe, maybe not.

    Frankly I don't even know if this clause can be enforced in Europa. I wanted to point out that we shouldn't rely on the customer protection laws of each country to address that: this clause shouldn't exist in the first place.

    But to be frank, it most likely doesn't come from Valve and rather from the games company themselves.

  • Whats his problem?

    Jump

  • Yeah you're of course right, they are not a charity and shouldn't have to provide their service for free.

    I expressed myself too quickly (the rage!). What I meant is the this cut of 30% is fucking predatory, mafia or middle-age money lender style. You get one third of the rewards of my efforts just for delivering my product? And don't talk about promotion because this store is now stuffed with too many games for visibility.

    You can argue "but this is it the standard rate of the industry". Well it is predatory everywhere else and I hate Google and Apple as much for it.

    A cut of 10% would be more humane. Or whatever to reach a "normal" profitability. But now the discussion becomes complex because we don't have the concrete numbers.

    What is sure, is that it is possible without pain to take way less than 30%. This is something EGS got right, even if I dislike them for many other things (Epic and Tim Sweeney).

  • Yes you can workaround it. But this is still a society right they forbid you. And who can say that in 2100 they won't implement a cleanup job that lock all accounts that are over 100 years old ? 🤪

  • Whats his problem?

  • But this is a problem right ?

    Because the libertarian view of the world DOES have an impact on Steam: they have so much inertia to fight against hate speech and extreme right, they do nothing against gambling, and so on. All under the pretense "free speech" which is so convenient.

    IMO this is the view of the modern libertarian: all the money, none of the accountability.

  • I have a mixed feeling about Gabe and Valve.

    While I am insanely grateful for proton (even if it was strategically important for them, they didn't do it out of kindness of heart), some other stuff disturb me:

    • Valve being so lenient on CS2 skin gambling, hurting the young people
    • A steam account being un-inheritable, making you defacto a tenant of your games
    • The 30% percent cut, stealing money from devs
    • Gabe spending his money on multiple mega yachts, like every asshole billionaire, instead of making the world a better place
    • Gabe claiming to be a libertarian, like Elon and other pieces of shit
