Japan and China hate each other. Japan still got along better with the US after we nuked them twice than they ever did with China.

But this orange motherfucker is managing to unite them against us.

I'm honestly impressed how bad he is at this shit.

That's part of the problem. If they charged the same to developers as Epic, I wouldn't be so critical.

For games primarily sold through Steam, Steam is often the most expensive part of the game. Is it okay that Steam's take is higher than that of all the actual developers combined?

Have you ever played a game that was actually worth playing and thought that the fucking storefront and game launcher were worth 30% of the game?

Have you played a bunch of half-baked PC ports that could've used a bit more money on finishing the game?

Developers decide to launch as-is partpy because they know Steam will be taking a massive cut and there will be no ROI for fixing the game.

My Samsung phone comes with an alternative android app store pre-installed.

Hating on Apple for their 30% cut is popular.

Hating on Google for their 30% cut is popular.

Hating on Microfot, Sony, and Nintendo for their cuts is popular.

But somehow hating on Steam for their 30% cut is going too far.

Looks like you don't need new glasses.

I blame Alanis Morttisette for people confusing coincidence, weird juxtaposition, and shitty luck with irony.

When we need to unite against a literal fascist, I'll gladly stand with conservatives with whom I have serious policy disagreements. Telling them to fuck off will just strengthen Trump's hold.

Once we've finished the fight against the MAGA cult, we can debate each other about policy without worrying about anyone getting disappeared.

Nope. When France didn't join the invasion of Iraq, "Freedom Fries" was a thing.

It was truly stupid.

I'll buy the Flavor-Aid.

Seems like a helluva Mars plan. I'm all for it.

My only addition is that we'd stop shipping the supplies and cut the comms once they're up there.

I dread calls at work more than anything in life.

Just send a fucking email.

That would make building a $2500 iPhone in the US even more difficult.
