    The problem is that without those exclusive deals noone would change

    Most people didn’t buy EA games at origin or Ubisoft games at UPlay even though you needed those launchers anyway. They even didn’t buy CDProjekt games at gog despite the games being dem free there.

    Excluding deals on sought after games is literally the only way to get a majority of the players moving away from there comfortable “I have ally games and friends there already” position

    People are lazy and hate change - without force it’s not going to happen

    No it won’t - people are lazy

    Even CDProjekt sold many more copies on steam than GOG when you

    1. Actually own the ge there instead of renting a licence for it.
    2. Know that 100% of your money go to the game developers.
    3. Get many additional goodies for free

    Don’t tell me people are choosing the better deal when it’s all just steam having the might of “I have most of my games there already” on their side…



  • Case in point “luxury” clothes that cost insane amounts of money just because they have labels printed on them for everyone to see and not because.the fabric is particularly great.

    Sure it’s good quality but not better than what you get for half the price and not even close to the custom tailored stuff the really rich people wear…

    Really don’t understand how people spend a fortune to walk around advertising for Gucci, LV, etc…











  • you’re not paying for you electricity in the US? Here in Germany you pay an expected amount for heating and electricity and then at the end of the year the landlord has to send you a statement telling you how much was used exactly and either pay you back the difference or you have to pay additionally and that usually results in changes in what the expected amount is in the future
