30% of 45 Billion is 13.5 Billion.

Of which Valve made 8.6 Billion.

Which means only 4.9 Billion was made by every other PC platform combined. Including the standalone games like Fortnite and Minecraft.

How does that boot taste?

Philantropic activities do not negate billionaires behaviour. You can’t get that rich without things like tax evasion.

Steam has effective monopoly.

If a game is not released on Steam, it might as well not exist. There are only a handful of exceptions.

Monopolies are more than just “competition does not exist”.

Yes, it will give Power Over Ethernet to whatever PoE device you plug it into.

They are an author, obviously.

Pretty sure 4.20 bucks is less than 20 bucks

Never seen it before, and neither seen the girl.

Is it some US commercial?

They are exactly the same as in Belgium.

You’d just have 2 inefficient power generators

It will burst the same way the dotcom bubble bursted.

Just like the internet, AI will be here to stay.

Don’t mommy milkers need to be a specific size?

Socialism wouldn’t prevent fascism.

One is an economic system, the other is a political system.

They aren’t mutually exclusive.

She uses her child as a radiation shield.

Kind of like humans.
