Neither is publicly traded. Neither of us know the numbers.

Does Steam make money on hosting indie games?

How does one research such a question?

I don’t need answers. I had them before I made my second post above.

Good luck to you.

Somehow reaching that conclusion is one of the stupidest thing I’ve read in awhile.

When the majority were aware of injustice we sang in the streets, “Fuck Donald Trump and fuck Biden, too! Neither of them give a fuck about you!”

That’s was an incredibly good thing. The trade unions were paying attention. Now is our time. A few years later the US has more strikes than we’ve seen since between the world wars.

Seems you’re not paying attention to We the People. That’s a critical mistake.

Competition in capitalism is always better than a lack thereof. But, we’ve not busted monopolies in a significant way since Ma Bell. And, even if we were, at 75% of the global market share they’d not warrant any action yet.

There’s going to be a dominant organization because late stage capitalism sucks. And, I’d rather it be Valve than some alternative trying to fuck me over at every opportunity.

I want to note that you’d need about $143 in gross sales to meet the threshold of $100 in net profit.

On the surface that sounds like a lot. But, they’re providing a service without any guarantee of any income. Epic can only compete because they’ve few users and are willing to operate at a near loss in attempt to garner market share.

This will be a difficult one for others to understand as a “good deal”. Gamers are usually correct when they pull out their pitchforks. This should not be one of those times.

Does Steam take a cut for distribution?

If not, while this emotionally sucks, they’ve a solid operational policy.

I don’t like what you’ve said so you’re a troll. We don’t serve your kind around here.

SMRT.

Effective means of societal change always have collateral damage. It’s especially true in the current paradigm. But, the more that choose meaningful change and proactively sacrifice for it, the less the collateral damage.

That’s why there’s a homeless man living in my shed. Without need to seek out shelter, water, food, and clothing he learned to use a computer/internet in a week and has now secured several job interviews. If he fucked up or someone fucked him over he can come back. He’ll probably be one that makes it to the “other side”.

I don’t think I’m special. These are basic human responses to the situation that exists. Government won’t help. We must help each other. Seems simple enough to me.

It’s not worse for me as a brown individual. That damage is already done.

It’s worse for MLK’s white moderates because they can’t ignore the issues the rest of us have been suffering our whole lives.

I’ll choose justice over order and principle over comfort. It’s the only way forward.

For adults: box knife with a jig consisting of a fence and stop block

For children: auto-retract safety knife and add a second fence to keep the blade enclosed

A child learns nothing but dependance on stupid gadgets from the device in the OP.

Harris suggests giving Israel whatever they want. But, one is far more effective at killing innocents than the other.

Giant douche or turd sandwich? I’ll endorse neither.

And, it sucks relative a box knife, straight edge, and stop block. The only decent use case I’ve seen presented is for the small minority of developmentally disabled individuals that require extreme safety measures.

Such limitations aren’t received well by intelligent and ethical others. Best of luck.

That’s great. Use this thing. It’s what I’d give my developmentally disabled 55 year old uncle as well.

But, it’s definitely not what I’d teach my child or the vast majority of other children. A typical child only needs a couple of safety accommodations relative an adult: an auto-reteact safety knife and a double fence.

No rational response, huh?

Cutting carboard with scissors? It can be done, but it’s a chore amd the results are poor. I wouldn’t wish it on school children.

Your tools probably suck.

Any knife and straight edge is faster and easier. Any warehouse worker knows this. Any compost bin is better than cat scratchers. Any environmentalist knows this.

For scissors I recommend Fiskars titanium nitride. Just yesterday they gave me a nice curve in 1/16th aluminum. Cardboard cuts like a hot knife through butter. And, I bet they cost less than the materials used in the tool in the OP.

Box knife reco: any metal housing without an auto-retract safety feature but with a retractable blade

Knife reco: Morakniv Companion: cheap, sharp, extremely versatile.

Aviation snips reco: Klein J1102S will take 12" cheater bars and be fine

Fence: use a metal level instead of a metal ruler to prevent mistakes

Learn how to make a jig for speed and accuracy in any repetive cutting task.

People have been interested in useless gadgets since capitalism has mandated perpetual increase in consumption. It’s now so bad that the solution to all problems is needless consumption.

But, neolibs gonna’ neolib until they can’t afford their filament.

WSB detected :)

Not a boomer and it’s not just kids. My suburban neighbors are calling plumbers to fix toilets and electrician to fix light switches. They just mindlessly consume resources, as they’ve been instructed. They’re choosing fiscal slavery, like lemmings off a cliff.

My objection is that it’s needless consumption that sucks relative alternatives such as learning to use a box knife and starting a compost bin.

Your reasoning is so obscure very few will follow. CONSUME!
