And no no, I don’t trust valve all the way. The licensing can be taken at any time in my opinion they have censorship issues and they said that about not being able to pass down games when you die. I dotn trust them all the way.
What bothers me is when people complain and cry about how Valve charges so much in fees when the entire gaming industry charges the exact same fee. And yet somehow PS and Xbox and GOG are always excluded from the conversation when it comes to this discussion.
You being upset at Valve doesn’t change the rest of the gaming industry. Also no, not charging the fees isn’t going to lower prices because just like the sales all of that is up to the publishers and developers nothing is stopping them from charging 30% extra to cover the fees and again they could absolutely host their own stuff and deal with payment processing fees, hosting fees, bank fees and all that without the exposure that every single competitor to valve gives them at the same exact price valve charges.
One of those gives you double the exposure than the other two combined though and I’ll let you guess which one that is.

“I never told you to shut up you are good at putting words in peoples mouths I have noticed.” I mean look back your comments.
Again, I’m talking about 30% is high, and you say it’s not. Fine, then instead of looking into the details, you are trying to convincing me with what’s competitors doing, which I don’t care at all, with swears (not this time though).
I can’t get what you meant at 4th paragraph. No, Steam is heavily competitive market, which means lowering fees lowers price to compete. Even so, publishers and dev take excess sounds nice to me. Yes sir please develop more games. And… why I should care about exposures? I’m just a customer.

Ok I looked back at my comments and never did say that. Can you point out where I did?
And yes, 30% is what every competitor in that market that is making money charges which is why I say its strange and unwarranted that you only call Steam out for this. This is an industry standard.
And these publishers and developers can set the price to whatever they want. They could do 30% over the fees on just the steam store and less on other platforms like itch.io if they wanted to. They don’t owe anything to steam and they don’t have to use it, GOG, PlayStation or Xbox if they don’t want to. They could host and do all the payment processing on their own shiny website. There’s a reason they don’t do that.
Also, you’re an adult right? You should probably stay off message boards and any publicly used websites with comments if swear words hurt you so much. No one is forcing you to be here or engage just like no one is forcing you to use steam or put games on there.

So because it’s an industry standard, my opinion is wrong (with lots of swears)? Not because it’s actual details, but because standard? huh. Ok then, there is nothing to talk about here.
“Pub/Devs love lowering Steam fee” and “Steam has high exposure” are irrelevant.
I don’t hate your opinion in single time (except swears), I just don’t like your zealous mindset. Like what the hell is this a logic behind this: “… they don’t have to use it, GOG, PlayStation or Xbox if they don’t want to” We are talking about Steam’s fee and saying like this means you’re forcing to finish conversation.
“Also, you’re an adult right? You should probably stay off message boards and any publicly used websites with comments if swear words hurt you so much. No one is forcing you to be here or engage just like no one is forcing you to use steam or put games on there.” Then I can report your swear comments …right? Lemmy is quite different from the place like reddit you might not imagine. I suggest you to visit there if you like things what you’ve said.

Nope your opinion can be whatever you want it to be but why not hold the same opinion for the whorl industry standard instead of one storefront that’s a part of it? Why single one out and ignore the rest?
Again I notice you didn’t say anything about how Epic charges less than half the fees any of the others do and yet the games are magically the same price as they are everywhere else. Is that not evidence that you’re wrong with your statement that lowering the fee that everyone else that makes money uses isn’t going to make the games cheaper? I mean bro the evidence is right there.
And yes you can report whatever you want I wouldn’t expect anything less from someone who’d doesn’t even understand how taxes on a storefront checkout work and who can’t read something someone says without completely twisting it into something they didn’t say like saying I said not to argue and saying I said to shut up which never happened.
You seem like the type of reactionary person that would do that when proved wrong. I’m not gonna cry about it. No where in any of my comments did I attack you, simply said your arguments are shit and they are.
