Yeah, you guys, you think you’re the only person ready to suck Gabe’s dick on here? Get in line buddy, then don’t forget to complain that rich people bad when you’re done swallowing.

GOG is owned by a publicly traded company with a $16B market cap

As I said, you’re just a hypocrite because it just happens to be for a product you like so you become unable to think about it critically.

Because it’s always the same story with you guys, you’re angry at rich people but when people point out why they exist and that a guy you love is rich then it’s ok. Gotta point out the hypocrisy so maybe you’ll wake up.

My definition of overcharged is that if someone is able to become a multimillionaire or billionaire from people purchasing their product then their product is sold for more than it’s worth, it’s not real world vs imaginary world, it’s rich people taking advantage of us in the real world and let me guarantee you one thing buddy, you’re not rich enough to be in a position where you should defend that system, you should be angry that you have less than you deserve in your pockets while Gabe and his friends are partying on a yacht.

Funny how your first phrase makes it seem like you understand exactly what I’m talking about but because we’re talking about a product that you like critical thinking goes out the window.

If companies make billions in profit and company owners can spend in a day more than you’ll make in a lifetime without batting an eye that’s because people like you, me and the vast majority of humans on this planet are paying more than things are truly worth.

We might not feel like we’re paying too much for stuff, but in reality if the person at the top has billions to their name, that money comes from somewhere, we’ve just been convinced by them that that’s the cost of things and that’s it.

The truth is the 2$ game that you bought would have been 1$ in a system where there isn’t a billionaire at the top. The 40$ game that you bought would have been 20$ and AAA games would cost 35$. The only reason they cost double their value is because a bunch of guys rake in millions or billions a year, they artificially increase the price everything needs to be sold for in order for companies to be able to pay them.

Your see the exact same thing happening at the grocery store, people doing the work can’t afford the food they’re selling while the big boss owns a house on every continent, take them out of the equation and suddenly everything can be sold for much cheaper because that’s billions the company doesn’t need to generate every year.

Just because they’re cheaper doesn’t mean you don’t get overcharged at the end of the day, what kind of mentality is that?

Israel: Look, three future Hamas fighters, better bomb that tent!

As long as it uses the same temporary discussions system, any social media will be used the same way.

The only reason I hang around here is because there’s no forum equivalent, and that’s too bad because forums end up with much better and more intelligent conversations with vast amounts of knowledge all in the same place instead of just reposts after reposts after reposts.

Unless mods wanted to spend 24/7 making sure people didn’t use FOSS Reddit the same way Reddit was used, that was always going to happen, if it hadn’t then people would have went back to Reddit to doom scroll again.

That’s the thing though, they’re still overcharging you and 70$+ isn’t affordable prices for a game, you’ve just been brainwashed into thinking that your money is worth less than it is because a big chunk of it goes to enrich a few people.

Valve gets 30% for distributing it, the publisher takes another 10 to 20%, add other fees and 50% of what you’re spending goes to the people doing the actual work, that means that Valve gets 60% of what the dev gets for doing barely anything.

Cultures evolve through, in part, the influence of other cultures. You clearly have no historical knowledge, you should just stop.

It’s the same shit as Reddit, sometimes even the same content.

If nobody took the roman empire down, pedophilia would still be a thing.

If nobody killed the medieval lords that enjoyed the “right of the first night”, having sex on the first night of a bride’s wedding, as a means to show dominance and control over the peasants, that shit would still exist today.

You know, an argument is much stronger if you don’t resort to bullshit like that that is impossible to prove.

It’s disgusting to see people defending the people that are exploiting them and preventing them from being more than average.

“I haven’t seen any evidence”

Buddy, where do you think billionaires’ money comes from?

You think people have it against Gabe only? All multimillionaires billionaires exist at your expense buddy, none of them deserve to exist and their companies don’t deserve the profit that made them billionaires.

Unscrew the bath part of the drain and the drain itself should be big enough for it (although probably tight with the 90° bend) otherwise the overflow drain is big enough for sure

Yeah, that’s why I said they didn’t really tried, the distro isn’t even distributed anymore

Billionaires exist because you and me and people like us overpay for stuff, they accumulate wealth by making sure we don’t. Gabe’s wealth comes from the surplus generated by Valve, if they make that much surplus then they could lower their cut by a fucking lot and so could publishers that also enrich multimillionaire and billionaires.

There are no good rich people.

I’m surprised they didn’t really try to make Steam OS a real distro for regular PCs, but at the same time there’s no real money to be made…

Gabe owns six yachts, people should always keep that in mind when praising him, he’s not the friend of the average Joe, he just realized there’s profit to be made by not pissing people off, but he’s still making enough profit from us to be a billionaire while the majority of people live paycheck to paycheck.

Don’t need that many employees to run a store, programmers/IT and marketing and you’re good to go. Employees wouldn’t count contractors either so they probably have a lot more “employees” than that.
