    The problem is that without those exclusive deals noone would change

    Most people didn’t buy EA games at origin or Ubisoft games at UPlay even though you needed those launchers anyway. They even didn’t buy CDProjekt games at gog despite the games being dem free there.

    Excluding deals on sought after games is literally the only way to get a majority of the players moving away from there comfortable “I have ally games and friends there already” position

    People are lazy and hate change - without force it’s not going to happen

    No it won’t - people are lazy

    Even CDProjekt sold many more copies on steam than GOG when you

    1. Actually own the ge there instead of renting a licence for it.
    2. Know that 100% of your money go to the game developers.
    3. Get many additional goodies for free

    Don’t tell me people are choosing the better deal when it’s all just steam having the might of “I have most of my games there already” on their side…

    Let’s also not forget that game developers have no choice but to release on steam if they want to have any chance on breaking even since they have that huge of a market share and that Epic challenging that already lead to better deals for developers since Valve hat virtually free reign before




  • Case in point “luxury” clothes that cost insane amounts of money just because they have labels printed on them for everyone to see and not because.the fabric is particularly great.

    Sure it’s good quality but not better than what you get for half the price and not even close to the custom tailored stuff the really rich people wear…

    Really don’t understand how people spend a fortune to walk around advertising for Gucci, LV, etc…


  • why else would this be one of the only countries where officers are lethally armed around the clock

    Because it’s also the only country where many citizens are lethally armed around the clock I’d guess

    If you stop a random person in traffic in Europe for routine control then it’s extremely unlikely that they have a gun in their car and even less likely that they will pull it on you.

    If you are permanently having to think about scenarios where random people pull a gun on you because it’s not a very unlikely situation to happen then it’s not unreasonable to expect certain paranoia to start to form…

    While the stats for “people killed by police” are always shown around I’d guess that the “police killed by citizens” also is much higher in the US.

    Gun control is the only solution that even has a chance to remove this spiralling violence of trigger happy cops imho
