It quite literally is. That's the purpose of being a landlord, exclusively, is to lord over land and expand your domain with the profits.

All landlords are leeches, all landlords would rather leave homes empty than rent them as long as the line goes up, all landlords exist still lely to make money from having money.

That's nice dear, any comments on this article which has nothing whatsoever to do with car infrastructure?

Just a reminder, they're just better at being landlords. All landlords, every single one, is responsible for this, they were just too inefficient to raise rents this high this fast before becoming conglomerates.

It'll still be a huge employer, by way of more indie studios. AAA and other big publishing houses might go away, but they've been flailing for years specifically for the same reason this will fail; sameness and lack of innovation is boring.

If it were this simple to automate level design for infinite playability net hack would've stopped the updated in the 80s and we'd all still be playing it.

Not really. Certainly some "encryption" algorithms or really implementations have backdoors, but RSA for example doesn't. Encryption is only worthwhile if it's mathematically sound, and you can't backdoor mathematics without some random undergrad working on their maths degree figuring out for fun.

Crazy that Marx and Engels weren't socialists.

Less than 20% of the Israeli population was upset at their government during the height of internal disapproval when the protests were going on. If that's the standard to overthrow a nation, then Mexican immigrants should be in charge of Canada and the US.

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.
