    The problem is that without those exclusive deals noone would change

    Most people didn’t buy EA games at origin or Ubisoft games at UPlay even though you needed those launchers anyway. They even didn’t buy CDProjekt games at gog despite the games being dem free there.

    Excluding deals on sought after games is literally the only way to get a majority of the players moving away from there comfortable “I have ally games and friends there already” position

    People are lazy and hate change - without force it’s not going to happen

    No it won’t - people are lazy

    Even CDProjekt sold many more copies on steam than GOG when you

    1. Actually own the ge there instead of renting a licence for it.
    2. Know that 100% of your money go to the game developers.
    3. Get many additional goodies for free

    Don’t tell me people are choosing the better deal when it’s all just steam having the might of “I have most of my games there already” on their side…

    Let’s also not forget that game developers have no choice but to release on steam if they want to have any chance on breaking even since they have that huge of a market share and that Epic challenging that already lead to better deals for developers since Valve hat virtually free reign before









  • While money doesn’t but happiness the absence of money surely makes happiness almost impossible with how much you always have to worry about different stuff…

    I’m very thankful to be in a position where I don’t have to worry about which supermarket has the cheapest groceries as I know I can afford it if it’s 10% more expensive than it needs to be - seeing my mom spending hours going through ad-magazines to figure out where to buy what only to save a handful of euros is something I’m very glad I don’t have to do


  • Yeah Battery capacity getting low is one of the main reasons why most people replace their phones

    Once you are able to just switch to a fresh battery again and clean up some of the apps running on your phone it’s as good as new in most cases and people wouldn’t buy new phones as often.

    Can’t have people not buying new things regularly…
