« Maintenant on pourrait presque enseigner aux enfants dans les écoles comment la planète va mourir, non pas comme une probabilité mais comme l'histoire du futur. On leur dirait qu'on a découvert des feux, des brasiers, des fusions, que l'homme avait allumés et qu'il était incapable d'arrêter. Que c'était comme ça, qu'il y avait des sortes d'incendies qu'on ne pouvait plus arrêter du tout. Le capitalisme a fait son choix : plutôt ça que de perdre son règne. »

« Mitoshi Matsumoto, the most famous 7-Eleven convenience store owner in Japan, wants to do something unthinkable in his 24-hour, 7-day-a-week industry: take a day off. »
« anyway happy to be generating $1,000 they don't need for valve this december even though me and @NjordGamedev haven't had a car in over a year because we're too poor to get a new junker
my whole life would be so much better if valve matched EGS' 12% cut, or hell even if they dropped their cut to 20%, not to mention the lives of people working on stuff like lore finder
reminder that the difference between the 12% and 30% cuts would've meant that we would've made as much extra off midboss as lore finder got from its kickstarter campaign
you know who really makes money off of indie games?
- platform holders
- publishers
- marketing and PR firms
forgot porting companies but they often double up as publishers so eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
and of course valve reduces the cut, but only for games that are turning over 8 figures, giving a break to the wealthiest that gets passed on not to the developers who made those games, but in fat bonuses to CEOs
"For all sales between $10 million and $50 million, the split goes to 25 percent. And for every sale after the initial $50 million, Steam will take just a 20 percent cut."
love to see that corporate welfare and economic rent while small creators struggle
so anyway, that's it, that's my 2019 retrospective. it's been a shit year for lots of indie devs because valve screwed them with several bad algorithm changes and yet we're still giving them 30% while the rich fuckers get a sweetheart deal

you can say there's too many indies or the games aren't good enough or whatever but fact of the matter is there's plenty of money to go around and devs are only getting the short end of the stick because of greed »

En vrai, j'aimerais tellement que tous ces stores fournissent une api sur laquelle des launchers 3rd party (libres) pourraient t'authentifier et downloader tes jeux. Mais bon 🙄
Petite note additionnelle pck il parle à un moment de ce que coûte par mois de mettre de côté pour sa retraite. Le privé est dans une logique de profit que n'a pas le public (ou que ne devrait pas avoir le public) et le privé coûtera donc tjrs plus cher que le public pour un même niveau de service rendu (ou alors, ya des coupes quelque part, et ce sera assurément sur le dos de travailleurs #capitalisme).
Plus cyberpunk que Cyberpunk 2077

« Advertisement needs to end. It is insane to think that a piece of software, so fundamental to running computers, an operating system is selling user behavior to advertisers. This is only going to get worse with IoT devices, don't get me started on those things. »

Qu'on foute des coups de batte de baseball (cloutée) dans la gueule de Bezos et qu'on l'exproprie. #punchACapitalist
Les capitalistes vont réussir à nous faire payer l'air qu'on respire...
