tbb, headline should be:
Some people like to get paid for their work.
By allowing a monopolist to ripped you off?
By putting your game where most people see it.
If the dev thought it was a rip-off, no one forces them to be on it.
Also, I’m not watching 15min Youtube videos with clickbait titles.
If you have a point to make, make it yourself.
I did in my first reply. You pick monopolies, you lose your game.
Steam is bad for developers and publishers, but it’s good for each individual developer and publisher. If the game didn’t release on Steam, it would have fewer sales. Someone with more power or a coordinate boycott could encourage change, but right now asking a developer to stand up for themselves is asking them to be mowed down.
Refresh 🧵. Made another key argument.
I think the original headline is more informative and doesn’t make it sound like the author is trying to shoehorn their bias / agenda in.
Oh, for sure.
I just wanted to banter a bit about how folks keep allowing themselves to ripped off by monopolist. the “tbb” should have clued that, but apparently lemmy can’t read tones.
It’s not a tone issue; it’s a redundancy issue. The ‘tbb’ doesn’t make an off-topic agenda any more relevant to the post.
trueeee, I guess we deserve monopolies ╮(︶▽︶)╭
It’s entirely possible to dislike a monopoly and your blatant bias at the same time. They aren’t as mutually exclusive as your comment suggests.
Don’t engage them anymore. They’re just a very confused person who believes everyone else is out to get them.
play monopoly games, win monopoly prizes╮(︶▽︶)╭
