Why is this getting posted so often?
Because Epic Games is really hoping to turn people against steam any way they can other than actually improving their service or morals.
And how... is this supposed to help that?
By making it seem that Steam is raking in money and uh, money bad?
This is so silly. Do people think hosting thousands of games and having thousands of users is cheap?
tbf, it's likely significantly cheaper than the 30% margin. I still think it's silly though
Millions* of users, I guarantee it isn't cheap.
This is a "they are hoarding all the profits" "they're not open to stock exchange" "why I can't have a piece if this cake, it's unfair" kind of news.
Pure pressure politics.
Who should they share it with?
Just me. Don't worry, I'll do great things with it. Trust me, bro.
You sound confident. Like a person I can trust.
gives confidence too. like some sort of superhero that has confidence powers. you could name him, uh... let me think...
I honestly think it's a badge of honor.
I worked in a company where we had 1000+ engineers on a SAAS platform for three years. And it barely has the same relevance or reach as Steam.
