This thread contains a lot of great bangers. But let's play devil's advocate for just a minute.
Let me know when you build a global distribution platform with 5-9 uptime, credit card processing, full compliance with all of the various laws in all the countries you serve and also provide a cdn for my game for free.
I'll be waiting. You better pull through on this, you owe the community your labor
Always anchor heavy, tall or easy to climb furniture to a wall. Use either a stud or a drywall anchor. Even if you rent.
The holes are tiny and easy to spackle fill and could save your child, pet or elderly persons life.
Don't be fucking lazy, anchor that dresser.
Lmao, thanks for demonstrating my point for me better than I ever could.
That you're like, 12 years old? Or at least have the fundamental world view of a 12 year old.
Fukkin lmao "steam is a necessity they owe me to make it cheaper"
Get the fuck back to reddit child. Enjoy your block.
"All of these disgusting men use anecdotal evidence to claim they aren't deadbeat scum. To prove it, here's my anecdotal evidence!"
I've made a comment before in the past when dealing with game publishing. All of the things Steam provides, including worldwide distribution to a lot of regions EGS, MS store, etc don't sell in because of a variety of laws, Steam just does better.
You pay less because you get less. I'm selling a product. The last thing I'm going to cheap out in is sales. I'm not going to see great sales from the EGS because A)Nobody uses it and B) the shopping experience is terrible. I don't have access to the same makers and (hearsay) the actual process of getting your game distributed is a pain. I wouldn't know, I don't sell on EGS.
Further, we were having a conversation about a problem that doesn't exist. You're more than welcome to use Steam and other storefronts.
Hell, you can handle all of the sales yourself AND put it on steam. Most people will buy it on steam simply because that's where all of the customers are.
Asking Steam to lower their prices because that's where you'd make the most money is a mind bender.
It's like trying to sell your hand made Combs. The gas station on the corner is happy to take only 20% of the profit. They're all over the place and accessible. But you really want to sell it at the boutique shops because they have more comb-seeking customers. But then when they ask for 30% of sales, you balk and tell them that's too high and they should lower their cut to that of the gas station.
Do me a solid. Just go get on a plane to any one of those places. Just step off the plane and just live there. No visas or any other nonsense. You're the smart one and know better. Only 300 bucks to fly! These guys are just dumb.
Go grab a job and just live there.
Have fun, smart guy!
I'm curious. Do you think "educational" being headed up and formulated by a black person would increase scores overall? Just within black children scores?
Cool! Go ahead and let me know! Send me some pics it'll be sweet!
Jeez there's been a shit ton of astroturfing happening lately. I guess Lemmy is finally big enough to be targeted by these guys.
How much do you all get paid? I'm interested.
