Well, can you blame us? :(

And then you just have people who just don’t know any better.

This is an interesting perspective that I hadn’t considered. Can’t really blame folks in that situation.

It would be more interesting to also get this data for other platforms (e.g. GoG, Itch, EGS), to be able to compare. If the statistics are the same everywhere, Steam isn’t a relevant part of the equation, and it’s just that 1% of video games in general generate that much of the revenue, which seems logical.

This whole time, that was an option?! I feel so cheated.

My mother told me Santa wasn’t real when I was fairly young, and then told me not to tell the other kids. I, being a little know-it-all, of course told the other kids and my mom got a few angry calls from other parents.

That’s quite the potty mouth for a six year old.

I still refuse to believe that any of them actually believe the earth is flat. It’s either a grift in the case of social media accounts that push the rhetoric, or a big joke in the case of everyone else. Even if some of them do actually believe it, I still choose to believe this theory, because it makes me hate humanity a little less.

When will people realize that nobody likes accounts created specifically to market shit? For fuck’s sake. Join the platform as a normal user. Engage with it as a normal user. Post shit that isn’t about your products, comment on posts, join communities. Maybe then, and only then, you can earn the right to post some self-promotion now and then. This, though? Fuck this. Fuck off.

Yes, and the low-resolution pointer when you do this excessively is just unacceptable. I’m glad they’re finally addressing this pressing concern.

Aww, man. I saw this post and was immediately excited, thinking that these games were being remade or re-released on a modern system, only to find that no, it is merely a post rightfully dedicated to how good these games were.

Music discovery algorithms don’t have to be AI slop. Some of them used to work effectively peer to peer based on likes.

You like songs, as does everyone else. The algorithm compares the songs you liked to what other people liked, finds people who liked a high percentage of the things you did, and recommends you other songs that they liked, and vice versa. Basically “Many people who liked [song you like] also liked [song you maybe haven’t heard]”.

Can confirm, this would make me much more likely to visit this establishment.

Elemenopee is the undisputed high point.
