If you cared to read the article, you will find that they also are investigating AliExpress, Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok.

It’s 6% of revenue, not profit. So it cuts even more into profits as it doesn’t allow a company in breach of regulations to reduce the impact of the fine by adding expenses that will temporarily lower their profit.
Even more spicy, they can also impose periodic penalties up to 5% of the average daily worldwide turnover for each day of delay in complying. That shit can bankrupt you.
No shit. Glad they investigated it so it’s official, though. I ditched my account when Phony Stark took over as the writing was on the wall.
Anyone who still uses X is complicit. There’s so many alternative platforms to invest in, there’s no excuse anymore.
Wow what a read that was. Only skimmed through the first few pages, but that is just terrible product owner behavior. And this guy is the cofounder? Fuck Discourse
Yep, I was only summarizing their angle. Here are the specifics for anyone who wants to read the source documentation: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys#3
The only thing that doesn’t sit right with me is developers stating Steam threatened to delist the game when they expressed wanting to sell elsewhere. I haven’t seen any proof except just the statements, but it would be weird for a developer to lie about that stuff. If anyone has any more sources on that, it would be appreciated
That’s exactly what they’re trying to say. It could have been cheaper if Valve didn’t have pricing clauses that doesn’t allow developers to price things cheaper elsewhere.
Great list, pretty much my childhood. I’ll add some more:
Statistics might be hard. But there’s studies https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/homophobes-might-be-hidden-homosexuals/

Next to these studies there’s also examples of staunch anti-queer people who later got caught being queer themselves, especially politicians.
Seems like a lot of folks are not really interested in the quirky sport, so saying fans are rejoicing because of this announcement sounds like they don’t really understand why people played HL.
Its like saying Dark Souls fans rejoice because From Software announced a fitness spinoff called Yoga with Solaire. Okay actually, they might. Bad example.
I was sooooo salty when SC III went PS2 exclusive. I mean not really but I was pretty bummed back then. Until I got a PS2 to go with my GameCube and Xbox, at least.
Soul Calibur was one of the few fighting games I really enjoyed because of the different weapons and stats they could have. It really set it apart from the other fighting games back then like DBZ, Bloody Roar, Mortal Kombat, etc.
The intro cinematics were pretty epic for their time too!
Lol I was thinking of this one when I saw the thread title. Still, I don’t see a way to filter those out
Is the level in the demo? Gonna check it out regardless, I love games that are meta and turn themselves inside out
$600 fine, wow. This guy should spend a few nights in jail instead.
It will take a while before we can shake off the redditisms, I think. But I’m with ya
You forgot the “take my upvote and” part
It might be the perspective but fuck they are shooting so low in the footage of blowing up the Ukrainian UAV that they seem to be hitting the residential buildings behind
That’s what the world needs. Smart notifications. And I’m not being sarcastic, this is such a good example of how something like that enriches the user experience that a timer on your phone could never achieve. Keep it up!
Remember that reddit bot that would repeat the parent comment in all caps when someone said “what?” or a variety thereof? Good times.
An example could be AliExpress, with a 130B in revenue and 11B in profit (2023), it would reduce their profit to 3.2B with the 6% fine. That’s a whopping 70% less profits, and cutting expenses isn’t gonna fix it either.
