They do that to try to gain marketshare. They should try to just stop being shitty instead and improve their client. And get off Xitter.
Comment on Tim Sweeney Is Still Crying About Steam AI Disclosures
Corn@lemmy.ml 11 hours agoIt gives consumers free games and takes a smaller cut from the developers than steam. All corporations have mutually exclusive interests with the consumer tho.

This is every single action any entity which exists to extract profit from you that isn’t immediately increasing revenue or decreasing expenses/wages.
They should try to just stop being shitty
Once again, this is done to gain marketshare
It’s weird as fuck to see people with loyalty to one corporation or another.

Sue. My point is they’re not doing it out of the good of their heart. And their doing it in lieu of actually making it a good platform to buy from.

No corporation has ever done anything out of the good of its heart because they do not have hearts, you are still treating them like people instead of entities that exist exclusively to extract money from you while giving as little money to its workers as possible.
They’re doing it in lieu of actually making it a good platform to buy from.
Nah, giving the workers more money and me free games does more to make a platform viable than features. But doing shit everyone hates like filling your store with slop games that can’t be identified until you’ve already paid is a dumb decision.

Wow, amazing. Nevermind that most those giveaways are on sales for peanuts anyway. And you get them on garbage launcher.
Great, they take smaller cut. At a low, low cost of being a black hole of exposure. But hey! They do take a smaller cut from the two copies you do sell.
