Court documents show that not only is Valve a fraction the size [only 336 employees in 2021] of companies like EA or Ubisoft, it's smaller than a lot of triple-A developers (www.pcgamer.com)

you seem to imply these costs should be passed down to us instead

They already are.

I really think you know nothing about what you talk or how the market works, this isn't even fun.

It sounds like they are parroting what that guy from Epic Games is saying. While that guy also is a millionaire.

You think people have it against Gabe only? All multimillionaires billionaires exist at your expense buddy, none of them deserve to exist and their companies don't deserve the profit that made them billionaires.

Instead of circle jerking it with your buddy, why don't you point out where I'm wrong.

To be clear these are my own opinions and I clearly think Epic Games should be regulated just like the other platforms.

I think all the platforms are predatory and taking advantage (except gog), it's you guys that are giving steam a free pass when they are at best slightly better than the others but still shit. I guess bootlicking is easy if steams marketing team convinces you it's in your best interest.

I haven't seen any evidence backing up your claims. And I'm not here to convince you of anything. You're the one making these bold claims. How about backing them up then?

"I haven't seen any evidence"

Buddy, where do you think billionaires' money comes from?

Less than 400 employees with 8500 million in revenue while the indie industry struggles backs it up.

The fact that Gaben is a multi billionaire backs it up.

No one becomes a billionaire through hard work, it's stolen wealth. Ask yourself if your arguments can be just as easily applied to bezos, it might give you some perspective on how insane it is to be defending Gaben and his ridiculously fat stack of cash.
