Neither is publicly traded. Neither of us know the numbers.
Does Steam make money on hosting indie games?
How does one research such a question?
I don’t need answers. I had them before I made my second post above.
Good luck to you.

Competition in capitalism is always better than a lack thereof. But, we’ve not busted monopolies in a significant way since Ma Bell. And, even if we were, at 75% of the global market share they’d not warrant any action yet.
There’s going to be a dominant organization because late stage capitalism sucks. And, I’d rather it be Valve than some alternative trying to fuck me over at every opportunity.

I want to note that you’d need about $143 in gross sales to meet the threshold of $100 in net profit.
On the surface that sounds like a lot. But, they’re providing a service without any guarantee of any income. Epic can only compete because they’ve few users and are willing to operate at a near loss in attempt to garner market share.
This will be a difficult one for others to understand as a “good deal”. Gamers are usually correct when they pull out their pitchforks. This should not be one of those times.

Quartery earnings report due 10/25. There’s no reason to sit capital here if there’s no catalyst for change.

That’s incredibly easy to do on any analysis platform.

Human psyche mandates we all believe we’re above average. Best of luck, white moderate.

Even more white moderate bullshit.
This is why nothing ever changes.

Racism implies an opinion of superiority based on race.
No. You moved the goal post such that your actions aren’t included. The rest of your post is based on this false premise, minimization, and projection.
racism
noun
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
You can claim it’s not racism a million times. But, that doesn’t change the truth of it.
I’m a natural US citizen of Indian heritage. I do the same thing as you: filter all recruiters with Indian names. It’s the only practical course of action.
The difference between us is I admit that it’s racism. I’m far less likely to fall down the slippery slope.

It’s an ancient meme rooted in green text brevity, intentionally misused to form another ancient meme, leading through yet another to a fourth.
Appending .exe to whatever states that the contextually implied action was performed. For example:
payday groceries.exe steak on sale dinner.exe
It’s being used here to obfuscate a folder, as file format was used to obfuscate distribution of the LOIC in the picture of the “It’s dangerous to go alone…” meme.
But, the cake is a lie. It was Morgan Freeman, all along.
I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away.
- Comment on Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference? 2 months ago:
All the lukewarm attempts to help, rooted in shallow understanding, reinforced my suicidal ideation. What’s the value of false love from a paid hotline worker one will never speak to again? It’s negative.
Be ready to love the shit out of someone yourself. Share their sorrow. Don’t try to fix it. Just try to understand. It’ll fucking suck. The other person knows it sucks for you. Tell them it sucks and that you’re choosing it.

No sugar for peasants.

You delivered nonsense without even considering semantic. You felt entitled to others figuring it out for you. And, you were rejected due to your lack of effort.
I’ll now reject you for gaslighting me about your comments, which I’ve read, and the follow up strawman.
It’s simply not good enough. I don’t care why. But, I know you’ve nothing to contribute but practice material for identifying logical fallacy.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
You’ve forgotten to mention the minority that did not agree and how strongly they believed they were correct. You’ve seemingly not considered that democracy’s best case scenario is mediocrity.
We will not be led by or stagnate upon popularity among the lumpen. Democracy be damned when faced with such a threat. We did what the majority could not do.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Predictable responses, now assigning me intent. I’ll no longer disturb your comfortable order. Best of luck, neolib.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Did I fault your content or your presentation of it?
Nice strawman. You just can’t help yourself.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Here’s the vote that approved the granular instance-by-instance approach
And then what happened? It seems like you were present for awhile but perhaps not in the trenches, through the OpSec, and to the end.
What?
Indeed.
Are you describing the consensus building and struggle sessions as “forcing the wisest decision on everyone”?
Q: Why did hexbear brigade the fediverse?
A: Certainly for the lulz. /s
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Definitely not a neolib
Language analysis of your post history says differently. If you’re not a neolib troll then perhaps you should stop presenting as such.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Yes.
If I invest effort into figuring it out for myself and demonstrate that effort in the quality of my questions then nearly every teacher will at least match my investment. In the US teachers are so starved for good students that one-on-one education is free, from philosophy professors to diesel mechanics. One doesn’t even need be past the “nonsense” stage, only recognize their status and ask what pieces of the puzzle they’re missing.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Hexbear was the only lemmy for 4 years, over that time their code base diverged, it took a few months to make federation possible again… a lot of users opposed federation concerns about harassment or just valuing one of the few leftist communities. The end result was slow federation, with users suggesting specific instances to federate with, and instances getting defederated if the admins failed to take adequate action against transphobes/chasers.
Now there’s two of us that are speaking truth.
Half this thread is hexbears and others telling people exactly what they believe about random topics.
Are they? That wouldn’t be thematically consistent with their years of telling others what they’d like to hear for their entertainment. Their culture is selfish in that way.
There was never a consensus on whether HB should be segregated
There was never formal consensus in that leadership repeatedly denied the vote, favoring a granular, instance-by-instance approach.
What are you talking about?
An organized, grassroots movement that employed questionable means to force the wisest decision upon leadership and everyone else.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Hello, low effort neolib troll. Thanks for the opportunity to continue to speak truth.
There’s a cultural similarity to what 4-chan was prior to the LOIC. But, they’re definitely not tankies. Sincere expressions of authoritarian means are soundly defeated and unusually result in permabans. The principle and practice is consistent for MAGA, neolibs, and authoritarians.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
You can’t deliver garbage writing to communists and expect positive results. The standard of semantics and nuance are set by socio-economic authors predominantly from the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Prerequisite to even speaking is a comprehensive understanding of at least The Conquest of Bread. One is expected to have the ability to segregate content from presentation and ideology from means of implementation. It’s as if you walked into university dynamics and poorly presented an algebra-based approach to a single body problem.
In certain forums, unless I’m very well-informed about a topic, I’ve learned to shut the fuck up unless asking questions, and to ask them with humility. In communist forums, which always stress education, I consistently receive high quality answers.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Also, post is not a genuine question.
I’ll answer yours in good faith.
what else do you expect them to do? Sit and politely agree?
Internally reach consensus to segregate themselves, then brigade the fediverse whole with content that allowed the majority to believe it was their choice.
Because such actions are well outside of status quo want for bandwagon validation they’re by definition “insane” and “unexpected”. But, the hexbear community is well aware that the majority is better off not yet knowing what they believe. Many expected such actions as it was an obvious moral and ethical imperative that lacked internal leadership support.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Based on this interaction I’ve realized my perception of lemmygrad is hypocritical: My experience indicates that our shallow, automated and wide scope language analysis likely isn’t human truth. I’ve decided to spend more time there.
Thank you for risking good faith engagement when it’s not popular or politic. Iron sharpens iron.
- Comment on Anon finds the secret to losing weight 2 months ago:
I’d never worked out in my life. So, I visited many gyms, found a mom & pop, and hired the trainer free from corporate constraints.
My second session he said, “You might be better off doing bodyweight exercises at home for a few weeks.”
I told him that there was absolutely no way I’d form this habit by myself. I needed him to hold me accountable. I needed a routine.
We did bodyweight exercises at the gym for a few weeks. We set goals of a certain number of push ups, (band assisted) pull ups, sit ups, and (I forgot the name of the hamstring exercise) to “earn” my way back to the machines and free weights.
I can definitely understand how a trainer could get frustrated with an individual. But, a trainer that sends a noob home simply sucks. They should at least provide a referral to another trainer.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
I’ve perceived only good faith from your posts. I apologize if I’ve not demonstrated that in my responses. It’s difficult to do here.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
when I see financing like that but looking at like that isn’t incorrect
None of the devs got paid. There are no other expenses.
I normally expect people who hold sympathies towards hexbear to use an account on like lemm.ee so they don’t have to use more than one account to browse everything they want to see
You expect the convenient implementation of MLK’s white moderate. But, my content should give no indication of that stereotype.
I’ll answer your previous question: I’ve personal accounts on world, ee, ml, and hexbear. The fediverse doesn’t limit viewing content from multiple accounts concurrently. One must only choose an account to post. The only obstacle to such a tool is a means to avoid burdening the fediverse with duplicate responses. We solved that problem in a few hours.
If you want actual insight communicated properly then you should ask in the correct venue. For example, I’d have no issue explaining in nuance on hexbear because the majority has a strong understanding or conversion of theory to praxis. I’m not even needed. Others would adequately explain on my behalf.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
I don’t think they really helped with the financing
All the computational resources the users tested the code base on must’ve been free.
I’m surprised to see a sympathetic comment like this from an account on an instance that has them defederated
Identity politics from .ml?
If you’re surprised at such small acts of individual praxis, you’d be amazed at what we’ve accomplished in groups.
