Valve and its ceo decides the price of their products. Considering valve is a corporation making billions and the ceo owns an entire fleet of mega yachts, arguing that they are directly to blame for the high prices doesn't sound stupid at all to me. If they are literally swimming in billions their profit cut is high.
Because they are a for profit company with a billionaire ceo. Making profits it's their job.
BTW, try putting together a same or better spec build yourself and get back to us with the cost.
The price you pay for something in a store is not the same price valve pays for a stock of parts. They buy the same stuff for a lot cheaper and resell it at an higher price to make profits.
If you disagree on valve share in publishing a game on steam it would pretty much be the same story. Valve is a for profit corporation whos ceo own an entire fleet of mega yachts, they are just as shit as any other corporation.
What would be your plan, Mamdani making a party of his own and getting nowhere because he has no platform to stand on
Running for corrupted parties with a century old history of doing shit will not get anyone anywhere. If you actually want to get some change the best option is to build and support a new platform where to stand on, like the one you are using right now.
Purists like you are the resson the left is so divided.
Red and blue have been cycling in power for the past century ruling with the same authoritarian policies, none of these two are "leftist" they are both shit.
Because he has a massive public presence. Why do people like mcdonald and not burgermeister? Because they have never hear of the latest. The proper way to give this guy the middle finger is to stop giving him any exposure if not for serious stuff that show he's scum.
This guy isn't simply buying stuff, he's the ceo of a corporation also people buy stuff because they have no other choice this guy has plenty of choice to run with other parties if he doesn't like what the democrats do.
They jack their own prices to begin with, valve is a for profit company making billions, their faith is making profits.
