Their goal is to maximize profits, if they get more money by selling costly units they will stick to these
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 weeks ago:
but there’s also likely no way they could make it cheaper.
Valve ceo owns an entire fleet of mega yachts, i’m sure there’s a lot of room to cut profits there and make their products cheaper

Would be nice if it pushed back 20 years before steam become so popular

The ceo of valve has more money than sam altman, valve is a for profit company, what makes you think they want to sell you something for cheap?
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is being blackmailed? 2 weeks ago:
What makes you think he’s being blackmailed? War is a business, they don’t care about people, they are fine with what israel is doing and supporting it, being able to blame someone for it is a bonus point.

Nothing is more patriotic than wanting your country to do better.
Is being patriotic and wanting your first world country to do better something heroic?
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
I would argue that praising soldiers for their bravery and calling them heroes is a bootlicker thing to do.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
He did good and did something heroic but the title of hero should be reserved to actual heroes that never chose once to side with scum. Before turning out as good this guy was serving in the US army

running game without a bunch of garbage
Steam is part of the garbage, you don’t really need a third party launcher to run a software.
Microsoft just got into the video game selling business
In the past years microsoft made big and aggressive acquisitions in the videogames industry like bethesda and blizzard. The new xbox portable which is a direct competitor to the steam deck doesn’t have cd anymore, the only way to get games is through microsoft store.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
Valve is winning because the average gamer doesn’t care much about owning his videogames.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
it doesn’t just do nothing,
Valve is a for profit company, one of their main goals is to make money and they work daily to do that. There are people at Valve who work 8h a day on how to boost profits.
People love to shit on valve working on lootboxes, but I was there to see how it developed. It was there as part of a way of getting money back to the people making stuff, which is why a shitload of the TF2 hats came from the community and steam workshop. The system came from a left wing greek economist, before , you know, he BECAME Minister of Finance for greece (for half a year)
I think you are confusing lootboxes with the items market which was there mainly to compensate the free to play model. If you were there i hope you remember too no DRMs and no third party software launchers to run games.
This is why they have steam OS
They have steam OS because microsoft become one of their competitors

Remember that you are on Lemmy: a decentralized and open source platform owned by the community.
Steam is a proprietary, closed source, for profit third party software launcher owned by a billionaire.

“No new wars” was a trump slogan, leftists aren’t the only ones against the genocide, pretty much everyone who doesn’t have ties with israel was pissed with US involvement.

People got tricked to vote between a pedophile and a guy with dementia and this guy ended up in power as a result.
If you wonder why people trust authorities so much we own part of that to centuries of living under rulers and people getting leashed.

In reality all parties have the same change of winning in elections.

Doesn’t work in single vote winner-takes-all elections.
If a third party get 70% of the votes they don’t end up in power?
