  Lack of funding is mentioned every paragraph?

  belt-tightening can often mean simply shutting down.

  Sheffield says it’s hard not to feel guilty when other studios go under, even as his own struggles. “We’re all kind of fighting for a tiny slice of the same pie,”

  “When an indie doesn’t get funding for its game, you just quietly never see their work again,”

  The industry is struggling because steam and the other stores keep them on the brink, they have no leeway. I don’t know how steams greed could be seen as unrelated.

    Pick a better battle because you’re making all of us anti-capitalists look like fucking idiots.

      Do you know of any other company that racks in as much cash and gets defended this hard. All I’m seeing is people defending an other billionaire cunt just because they use his product.

      Would you say tell me to shut up if I was denouncing Elon Musk or Bezos? You can’t be anti-capitalism and pro-Steam. The moment you defend a billionaire, you are part of the problem.

        I’m not saying I’m pro-steam. I’m saying you’re doing a dogshit job of providing compelling arguments and are making us look stupid.
