  • YongYea; Execs Stupidly Claim Steam Has A Monopoly And Get Mocked...

    Jump

  • There's no good competitors because the money isn't there to build one. [...] Would take tens of billions of dollars today to get in there on top of having near feature parity.

    This is ridiculous bullshit. Epic had shitloads of money, they just couldn't find their ass with both hands. It took them years to implement a freaking shopping cart.

    Is it possible to find a friend or partner on Lemmy?

  • That's no reason to give up. Post it here, we'll respond!

  • Larian Studios defends Valve: Steam's success is deserved

    Jump

  • I sincerely doubt that even if another launcher did everything Steam does, it would rival it. People already use Steam.

    At that point, you can start grabbing business from steam via promotions and such. You don't need to rival or outgrow Steam to break into the market, you just need a bit of the market.

    And that's assuming they get to this point, ignoring that Steam had decades to get there. It used to be ass.

    It's not even that other launchers have less features than Steam. It's just that other than GoG, which has a very limited catalog and no regional pricing, there is not a single store that is not actively anti-consumer to a hilarious extent.

  • Non-drm steam games can actually just be copied around like you would copy the installer

  • Epic can't break into the market because of their own shitty launcher, not because of anything Steam has done to lock down the competition.

    Now imagine how hard it'd be for a smaller player.

    Not very hard, if they were willing to create a decent launcher and engage in sustainable business practices (and regional pricing).

  • Are Memoirs and Autobiographies partly fictional? How the f do people remember so much detail?

  • Do air purifiers really reduce dust much?

  • Even in early access, Tavern Keeper already feels like the fantasy pub sim of my dreams

    Jump

  • Jeez, how does a sim game like this take over a decade in dev?

  • Anyone else got a dreadful sense of direction?

  • I'm in the right place. It's everything else that's in the wrong place

  • What fictional character do you wish was real?

  • Player of Games is actually considered one of the better entries in the series, generally. That said, most of his books have a different feel to them, they're not so much a series as a bunch of books in the same universe. So you might try something else. Going by publication order helps understand the universe building, but it's not required for you to grasp the plot of the books.

  • I still want to know how they solved the woman of Kleenex problem. Did Lois use a vagina dentata of kevlar or something?

  • Producer of stinky thermal paste that corrodes copper knew about the issue since 2024 - the paste emits acidic vapors, corrodes copper, 'glues' heatsinks to processors and permanently damages coolers

  • In addition to what the other person said, it's not American. It's pretty universal college / university numbering

  • [Solved] Help finding meme of cutouts of different racoons visible on the All feed - Top today, something about "when you realize you're trash"

  • The Culture does not get mentioned enough. I'm hoping it gets made into a TV series one day, to get additional visibility.

    (An actual adaptation, not whatever tf they did to WoT and the Foundation).

  • Are you less likely to comment on a bot post?

  • We just call them comms here

  • EA pinky promises to 'maintain creative control' in its post-buyout era, but the list of 'cultural values' it plans to keep doesn't mean much at all

  • Privately owned firms tend to be really bad because they don't have a feduciary duty to long term value

    You say that as if publicly traded firms do
