That said, even quite unpopular posts are unlikely to get so many replies that the user can't deal with them, just due to the number of people on Lemmy right now.
You haven’t touched any taboo yet is my guess.
Muting replies is not a thing on Lemmy.
I’m against all gambling, especially targeting kids. So yeah, we can get rid of gumball machines. Bad attempt at whataboutism because I’m no hypocrite.
Selling cosmetics via loot boxes is gambling. They market their video games to children (all rated 13+). Way to twist what I’ve said lol. Goodbye, I’m blocking all Valve shills for sanity lately.
For me that comes up to a couple hundred euros, definitely not seeing where that goes.
Someone said here that Valve doesn’t chase profit at all cost because they’re a private company. We’re talking about pioneers of enshittification though, look what they’ve done to CS, Team Fortress 2 or Dota 2. They turned both into casinos for children, breaking cohesion and balance, just to chase the profits. Do you think those people run Steam ethically or with your interest in mind? Other companies would be crucified for anything similar but Valve gets away somehow.
Are you saying that if there was another store that you could move all your games to, with 10% cut, 10% discount for you and 10% discount for the developer you wouldn’t use it because Steam is so good? Take a look at your games library and imagine 20% of what you paid not going to Valve. Do they really provide good value for that money?
I’ve only ever used a single huge public tracker for manga and anime and it’s still there. I assume there are more but I never bothered to look.
Why would manga piracy ever get hard, unless they stopped printing it on paper?
I guess there are issues with third party RSS feed I’m using, thanks for heads-up.
It continues to amaze me how Valve fanboys are the only group here that is completely incapable of critique of their platform of choice, will defend it by trying to convince others that a commercial entity can be benevolent and it happens to be this one.
I am surprised that steam is even lacking on this.
This is an „underdog” feature - if you own the market like Steam does it could only ever harm sales on their platform. Some people don’t seem to be bothered by the grip Valve has on the market however. Not like Microsoft wouldn’t do that either if they were in the same position because both are ultimately out there to make as much money as possible.
I’m here to get away from a normal internet conversation but with size it seems that it is inevitable.
