    By allowing a monopolist to ripped you off?

      Steam is bad for developers and publishers, but it’s good for each individual developer and publisher. If the game didn’t release on Steam, it would have fewer sales. Someone with more power or a coordinate boycott could encourage change, but right now asking a developer to stand up for themselves is asking them to be mowed down.

  I think the original headline is more informative and doesn’t make it sound like the author is trying to shoehorn their bias / agenda in.

    Oh, for sure.

    I just wanted to banter a bit about how folks keep allowing themselves to ripped off by monopolist. the “tbb” should have clued that, but apparently lemmy can’t read tones.

      ​It’s not a tone issue; it’s a redundancy issue. The ‘tbb’ doesn’t make an off-topic agenda any more relevant to the post.
