Came here to save everyone a click but you beat me to it

I’ll add on to say the video is stuffed to the brim with ads, affiliate links and is generally exactly the kind of content I despise.

Literally a list of “here’s an assortment of objects I found by searching “Steam Deck” in printables and shitting out a video to hopefully trick some kid in to clicking a link”.

Absolute garbage

Such a unique and fun design is going to stand out in our collective culture. Kids are going to love this thing.

Okay…so…I don’t understand how this ties back to community colleges being bad?

I mean. Good luck at real school I spose’

So you tested out of remedial math, but wanted to take it anyway. But it was full. Got it-tracking

So you checked later and slots opened up which is…normal? And you didn’t take it?

And this is the fault of community colleges everywhere?

I don’t get it.

I mean…that sounds like maybe a bad teacher. Not really a reflection of the school.

Why not?

I’ve made a comment before in the past when dealing with game publishing. All of the things Steam provides, including worldwide distribution to a lot of regions EGS, MS store, etc don’t sell in because of a variety of laws, Steam just does better.

You pay less because you get less. I’m selling a product. The last thing I’m going to cheap out in is sales. I’m not going to see great sales from the EGS because A)Nobody uses it and B) the shopping experience is terrible. I don’t have access to the same makers and (hearsay) the actual process of getting your game distributed is a pain. I wouldn’t know, I don’t sell on EGS.

Further, we were having a conversation about a problem that doesn’t exist. You’re more than welcome to use Steam and other storefronts.

Hell, you can handle all of the sales yourself AND put it on steam. Most people will buy it on steam simply because that’s where all of the customers are.

Asking Steam to lower their prices because that’s where you’d make the most money is a mind bender.

It’s like trying to sell your hand made Combs. The gas station on the corner is happy to take only 20% of the profit. They’re all over the place and accessible. But you really want to sell it at the boutique shops because they have more comb-seeking customers. But then when they ask for 30% of sales, you balk and tell them that’s too high and they should lower their cut to that of the gas station.

That you’re like, 12 years old? Or at least have the fundamental world view of a 12 year old.

Fukkin lmao “steam is a necessity they owe me to make it cheaper”

Get the fuck back to reddit child. Enjoy your block.

Lmao, thanks for demonstrating my point for me better than I ever could.

This thread contains a lot of great bangers. But let’s play devil’s advocate for just a minute.

Let me know when you build a global distribution platform with 5-9 uptime, credit card processing, full compliance with all of the various laws in all the countries you serve and also provide a cdn for my game for free.

I’ll be waiting. You better pull through on this, you owe the community your labor
