Ask them that. I am using them as examples of political inaction. Sometimes you have to sacrifice a little bit of your budget to support something.
Heck I read they are campaigning the politically incorrect way to stop killing games.

it would be a small percent of users providing the majority of donations

🤣 I am glad you’re also applying the principle even now. But you can reapply it to amount people unaware steamdb even exists🤣. Just like you were unaware the pleading was made for months, 80% of the population didn’t know either. We are the 20% knowledgeable base. I’m just part of the .001% that is too politically aware enough not recreate steamdb as a subscription crowdfund.

Plus, I hate capitalists.

Okay, now I’m extremely confused. How is being aware of the Pareto principle and mentioning it in situations where it applies “political inaction”? And more to the point, how does referencing it in response to reports about game revenue distribution in any way related to a person’s willingness to donate to steamdb?

  Because as of typing, both, !skg@lemmy.dbzer0.com & steamdb community have yet to accomplish their goals.
  Political inactions in correct game conservations, inactions financial stabilizing a community project.
  
  I apologize if my language makes shortcuts in conclusions, I don’t want to be writing essays on how politically ignorance is the prime cause of gamers losing the political battles they set out incorrectly to achieve. It just gives me much dramatic irony to see history repeat itself. I take inspiration from Buddhists, and cope laughing.

    Yeah, sure, gamers are politically ignorant and fail to achieve their goals.
    
    But what does any of this have to do with the Pareto principle?
