'Knowing Steam players are hoarders explains why you give Valve that 30%,' analyst tells devs: 'You get access to a bunch of drunken sailors who spend money irresponsibly'

  • I'll just find another torrent tracker where its improved 1.5 version is available.

  • So basically "Valve discovered a gold mine by selling you so many games" and "it's your fault for spendijg money on games". Yeah wait wut? As if it's someone's fault that so many games are getting released. Also ending with "beware, not every customer is a die-hard fan". Wow.

    Go crack the F2P business model next, Sherlock.

  • That's still less lifting than can be found on Putin's face.

  • They probably mean the majority of people, not 4070 Ti owners. For them, buying that 4070 Ti would be a better choice already.

    • Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all

  • It was basically a faster 7 (also less hungry). Universally hated Metro stuff can be get rid of easily. Plus it had better forward compatibility - I could run some apps that said to require windows 10 which I knew didn't work on 7.

  • Worse. Steam is basically built on top of CEF, which is not much better than Electron.

    It's amazing how deep Chromium (and web tech in general) got into everything. Microsoft - which I regarded for how light and well optimized Windows 8.1 was - went from using Chromium for Edge to using it basically everywhere. Latest observation is how you open Copilot app, chat a little and see how it eats 4 GB of RAM and lags like hell, on a higher end business laptop.

  • Nah I'm just Russian. Our government is an example of a problem, they tried to manipulate Apple and Google, and was successful to some extent.

  • And I would welcome that. Most other people will probably not though.

  • The problem is how government entities dictate media corporations what to do. This time it's pro-consumer, the other time it might not be so.

    • Oof some tough questions for them

  • And what happens if we don't stop it soon? They will attack... Russia or something?

  • With all respect for people who hate Apple (myself included), this doesn't look like how penalties should work. I doubt there are adequate standards of how an entity like EU can request any percentage of global revenue from anyone. What would you do if you request any more than Apple considers adequate and decides it's more profitable to just leave your market?

  • With "optimized for gaming" premise? That's obviously nothing more than "hey we decided to allow you to terminate resource hungry explorer/copilot/edge when you play".

    • GEEKDeck Is A SteamDeck For Your Living Room

    Jump

  • It's arch...

    Yeah but its downside right now is that it doesn't really support latest tech, since it is not based on latest Linux. Wish they would change that because I seriously consider SteamOS for my next gaming PC.

    • Bazzite would shut down if Fedora goes ahead with removing 32-bit

  • That must be on MacOS programmers. See WOW64.

    • Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing finds

  • I heard they are irrelevant for Proton as it has its own fsync.

    • Bazzite founder might shutdown whole project if Fedora drops support for 32 bit packages

    Jump

  • So it's actually the whole cause of the issue? If Valve shifts to 64bit then there would be no issue? Or is there a limitation that would then prevent 32bit games from working?
