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?

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?

Alright yeah, I agree with all that, but what does that have to do with the users that responded to reports about how game revenues are distributed by accurately associating it with the Pareto principle?
Theoretically even if the donation needs were met, it would be a small percent of users providing the majority of donations. So I don’t really see how acknowledging the existence of the principle changes whether it’s surprising that no one helped out.

Wait, you link three examples where Lemmy users point out that the Pareto principle explains data showing the way that engagement and revenue are distributed between games on Steam. I’m failing to see how that’s relevant to whether people would be willing to assist or take over the steamdb project. Obviously we can see in hindsight that they didn’t, but how do these links address whether that’s surprising?

For those not prepared to replace their OS, I’ve been enjoying this project the last couple weeks.
