  • Saturnalia creators Santa Ragione will "wind down operations" after Valve ban horror game Horses from Steam

  • The issue with the child was fixed in a later build. A build that Valve doesn’t want to review.

  • In Pathologic 1, there is a quest line where the player is given the option to kill a child. The player is encouraged to kill the child as looting gives the player much needed resources.

  • People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be poor and how close middle class is to being below the poverty

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

    Jump

  • And while many like our Steam benevolent (almost) monopoly, I do wonder how would the market look like if we had 20 competing companies that cannot gain more than 5% of the market share. Can you imagine the competition between them and how would that benefit us, the consumer?

    More comptetion wouldn't just benefit consumers, it would benefit devs. A dev could shop their game around go with a store front that suits their needs better.

  • Your lemonade stand would be more like if there was a stand on every block: By virtue of the scale of their business they could afford to undercut any competition that tried to start up. If they did that they could be slapped on the wrist for being anti-competitive.

    Cough Walmart cough

    Walmart has been accused of selling merchandise at such low costs that competitors have tried to sue for predatory pricing (intentionally selling a product at low cost in order to drive competitors out of the market).

    In 2000, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection accused Walmart of selling butter, milk, laundry detergent, and other staple goods at low cost, with the intention of forcing competitors out of business and gaining a monopoly in local markets.

    Crest Foods filed a similar lawsuit in Oklahoma, accusing Walmart of predatory pricing on several of its products, in an effort to drive Crest Foods's own company-owned store in Edmond, Oklahoma, out of business.

    However, in 2003, Germany's High Court ruled that Walmart's low cost pricing strategy "undermined competition" and ordered Walmart and two other supermarkets to raise their prices. Walmart won appeal of the ruling, then the German Supreme Court overturned the appeal.

    Walmart has been accused of using monopoly power to force its suppliers into self-defeating practices. In 2006, Barry C. Lynn, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation (a think tank), said that Walmart's constant demand for lower prices caused Kraft Foods to "shut down thirty-nine plants, to let go [of] 13,500 workers, and to eliminate a quarter of its products."

    Sinbad in Jingle All the Way has the best character arc. Sinbad plays a postal worker and starts off fine before ending their character arc by going postal on everyone.
