I’m like 99% sure they’re American or maybe Canadian. Deffo not out of Europe which doesn’t really have a tipping culture.

World News@lemmy.world•Italy’s famous Lovers’ Arch collapses into the sea on Valentine’s DayEnglish
47·2 days agoThere isn’t a notable holiday that corps won’t try to cash in on in one way or another IMO. KFC for Xmas in Japan immediately springs to mind as just one of many.
“Here” being a European country I take it?
Not really, just gotta be organic about it. ex. They hit you with a “Oh they got you working on Valentines Day? Thats rough.” You fire back with the sob story. Easy.

The agency warned consumers not to buy the product in October, noting it contained “the active ingredient in Cialis.”
On one hand, I get it, on the other, we know it 100% works at least, unlike when they put oyster or horny goat weed or whatever in that stuff.

Games@lemmy.world•Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?English
8·16 days agoIf they didn’t have fortnite and unreal engine money propping them up it would have closed by now. Hasn’t been profitable since it opened in 2018.

Games@lemmy.world•Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go aheadEnglish
4·17 days agoIIRC Gog takes 30% but not sure we can count them owing to what they distribute.
The only actual competitor store (i.e. not reselling steam keys) at present is Epic with its 88/12 split after a million in sales, and as far as I know it hasn’t been profitable since it opened in 2018, despite straight up giving away product and buying exclusives to try and build a base, so not really the best argument.
Obligatory LOL if we’re going to seriously note either the EA or Ubisoft stores in this discussion. MS probably falls into that pile too but tbh haven’t looked into them much.

Games@lemmy.world•Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go aheadEnglish
9·17 days agoYes, they have a good interface, but they take a ludicrous portion of game revenue.
They take the same cut as Microsft, Nintendo, Google, Apple, Sony, and more. You wanna argue 30% is excessive? I agree, but Steam isn’t an outlier here. At least Steam has enough extra shit they do for devs to make that 30% almost feel worth it.

I’ve said it before: There is no shot that around 15TB of data is all e-mails or random pictures. It has to be video, and the average person definitely isn’t going to get to see that.
