Quoting: SamsaiOr maybe people like Valve have been taking way more than they needed to and this race to the bottom is just capitalism working for a change?Nowhere did I say that Valve couldn't afford taking a smaller cut or anything - but there's got to be a line that's fair to all parties: Valve, the game developers and the customers. No one is independent of each other here.
Quoting: SamsaiI find it somewhat mind-boggling that distribution platforms taking smaller cuts is seen as some kind of an evil.As I said: there's a line. Capitalism isn't the best thing in the world, because it will eventually hit you, too.
The excellent SC Controller gamepad tool has two fresh releases available

Do you have any idea if Valve reached out to this dev? They bought other controller stuff in the past.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyOf companies. They will try to beat each other with lower and lower cuts. At some point they will have to operate at a loss. I have no insider-information or anything like that, but 10% isn't much. At what point won't they make any kind of profit anymore? And then what? How will get earn their bucks? Selling user data? I mean in this case and the Epic Store Tencent is involved.Quoting: kuhpunktAnd the downward spiral continues.Uh, of who?

Quoting: CreakScarcity and property are still relevant, even in the virtual world. Not as much as in the physical world, but it is still a thing.Exactly. Some people just need to get rid of the idea that physical things in themselves often just are worth anything. Money itself isn't worth much. It's just generated out of nothing.
The blockchain is exactly about that actually: how to bring scarcity and property in a virtual world. Examples: you need to exchange money but don't want anyone to copy it at will; or you want diploma to be owned by one and only one person => you store that in a virtual ledger: the blockchain.

Editorial: An open letter to Valve on why they should keep on embracing Linux

Quoting: GuestI know this is going to sound harsh, because text can be taken that way, but I mean this as something more akin to a constructive comment: you appear to have "Valve blinders" on. The original comment was about if Fortnite disappears, what do Epic have? They have Unreal Tournament. The original UT was up there with Quake3. It's really not hard for Epic to build more success around Unreal Tournament, and use that to continue to leverage their own store. And yes, that keeps them quite happily in competition with Valve.I don't think Fortnite is going anywhere soon, but I don't think Unreal Tournament is such a draw anymore. Arena shooters might just not be a thing anymore. Law Breakers completely failed. I don't know how many people play Quake Champions outside of Steam but on Steam it's just ~1400 players on average. And don't you think there's a reason why they stopped working on the new UT?
