It's because the fanbase is a bit tired of the developers.

The developer already set the tone very early on by being a pompous prick over the whole ban nonsense. No one could prove it but it seemed like certain key remappers (like for joysticks and things like that) were causing the anti cheat to trip even if they weren't being used, just running in the background. The CEO was a real jerk about it on twitter when people asked why there wouldn't be any appeals.

That kind of arrogance and behaviour came out several times. There isn't any reason for the community to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Big surprise that Crema has stepped in it again. They've been pretty awful since this game started. I can still remember when they first rolled out the bans and insisted their would be no appeal because their ban process was never wrong. The CEO aggressively defended it, and it wasn't very long before community managers were walking that back admitting some people had to be unbanned.

Their discord was run by dictators as a meme that cropped up around a botched patch resulted in the mods going nuts and banning anyone who mentioned it, and the steam forums were the same. They had a gaggle of fanboys who'd attack anyone who said a bad word about the game, and if anyone talked back to them one of the developers would come along and ban them.

It was such a great idea ran by absolutely awful people.

If you sell steam keys through your site you can't charge less than the steam price. In order to sell it cheaper on their site, it would have to be a non-steam version and they'd have to serve up the files themselves. If it's a multiplayer game it wouldn't be compatible, they'd need to switch to EOS or something else. realistically speak, developers could probably charge a bit less by providing that their own. it doesn't cost 30% to serve up the files and process some payments.

Steams cut off that, at just the $3 million mark, is $450 million. This is $900,000 per game.

People wonder why other companies wanted to make their own launchers. They leave millions on the table by having steam 'handle' things.

This is also why Valve isn't that inclined to pump out tons of new games.

A game like Palworld, which as of 3 weeks ago, has sold 12 million copies would end up making Valve somewhere in the neighbourhood of $72 million as of the end of January.

As a Canadian that's scarf weather.

We've definitely hit that low a few times, but we also hit that low with the wind quite frequently. It's really not uncommon to hit -35 or lower but if it's windy it'll break -50 with the windchill.

LGR hammering the buttons on a mouse that also doubles as a drinks cooler while looking on ebay for these...

yes it's very clear that that is your position. You blame me because you failed to read the words in front of you. Here we see you trying to gaslight the blame onto me like it's my fault your reading comprehension failed. The hypocrisy and projection is really telling.

I was very clear. All you had to do was read up 1 line and your inability to do that is to claim that someone is gaslighting you. Get help.

Read the whole message which is quoted above. I clearly identified that scenario as an example to make a point to you. Good lord.

I'm aware they're different.

Are you capable or parsing what you actually read?

Let's try another example since you clearly have a bee in your bonnet over gun rights,

Person A mouths off at Person B who then punches Person A in the face.

You come in carrying on about freedom of speech

This is called an example because you're clearly too wound up over gun rights, I thought I'd give you another example of a similar situation to see if you'd be capable of taking a step back and looking at something objectively. Thanks for answering that question though.

Now that’s just a lie. This is all that I said in regards to the U.S. Constitution:

You've repeatedly posted the 'it's totally legal' claim.

She was inside her home. The gun was her property. She had it legally

she did something that, again, was 100% legal,

she was holding her legal property inside her own home (posted that one twice)

Your words.

That's how we're playing this game isn't it?

France is pretty strict on that. Apparently men can't wear trunk style swimming bottoms. I'm not sure how they handle the burkini vs rashguard issue. I know rashguards are very popular with a lot of east asians because they worry about skin cancer.

You have a choice. You can be right and dead. Or you can be alive and sort it out later.

I never said that she deserved to be shot or that the cops were justified. I only explained why they shot her and why they're likely not to face any consequences for this. I gave no personal judgement. Here is the problem with people like you, you have absolutely no ability for nuance. Anyone who doesn't immediately cheerlead everything you say 100% must mean that they're 100% against you and should be attacked.

it's funny because your behaviour embodies what you claim you're raging against.

The same window the victim could have looked out? The cops clearly identified themselves on the video.

I'm not your educator, nor am I under any obligation to answer questions that fundamentally bad. Entitlement doesn't stop bullets.

You can't be this clueless.
