A) they don't double dip on the marketplace, developers (or publishers) get the steam tax on all items sold there.

B) maybe, but they provide unlimited nonrate capped downloads for eternity for your game, including free unlimited downloads and uploads of workshop items. Bandwidth isn't cheap at scale, you could spend >50% of your income as a small dev on distribution, or for 30% you get everything steam provides for eternity for all your players.

Incorrect, steam allows for lower prices and give aways if steam keys you request... As long as it's not the base price. That's how humble bundle works. That's how every dev give away works.

The "devs" in this case want to sell access to the steam version of their game for lower than the steam price, on a permanent basis. Which is against steams rules, because steam provides a service that needs to be paid for, one that is worth far more than the 30% cut.

The bad .world instance has access to this instance, and they absolutely hate when you insult their God king or their preferred side of the uniparty.

Ah yes, the great and powerful American nuclear lobby... That hasn't sold a new reactor in 30 years.

Most people support nuclear because it's the best base load generation method, and that can't be replaced by renewables.

You're literally less than a degree of separation from the "nuclear is a Chinese psyop" people.

It's simply not a part of the fediverse and it's centralized to a single instance. It's not any different than Twitter, except no one interesting uses it.

Expeditions are what you're looking for, for the most part. There's also at least two main story lines now. But yeah there needs to be more

It's a common estimate that by 2030 we'll probably have the first blue ocean event, but at the rate we've accelerated fossil fuels use along with the military build up and use promised by Trump it's increasingly likely we'll see it before then, during Trump's term.

So, the entire collapse of the food chain.

That definitely seems more important than fixing your cost of living crisis or dealing with the two provinces now that are actively rolling back human rights advances.

Starting a war with China when you're losing the one you started against Russia seems stupid. Go for it. It's time westerners understand what it's like to be the victims for once.

Yes, it's more likely it's an accident than someone coming up with an idea to cut one of many undersea cables using an off the shelf anchor -- something undersea cables are hardened against depending on the company that produced them. We've had undersea communication lines for more than a hundred and fifty years now, we've had anchors for longer than that. The former was designed to withstand the latter.

Also the attack serves no purpose as many have pointed out. There are literally hundreds of routes, dozens of other cables under water. At most this costs a random company


not country, company a few hundred thousand euros worth of replacement cabling for such a short distance... What's the literal point? It's not particularly expensive venture, it's not going to cripple anything, it doesnt affect the countries involved just entities within them... What is the motive?
