TechTakes

One of the things that really weirds me out about gamers is that when they pay 10 bucks for a game they become the most entitled people around (not talking about the people here, just in general, my comments here about steam should also be seen as that), but they never are as entitled towards steam which takes a 30% bite out of that ten bucks for every purchase (*). Even when steam is like all tech companies simply a non-communicative and hard to contact monster of a company. Im still amazed for example that one of my games on my wishlist is simply a grayed out void. (I know what happened and which game it was, a developer who released a game on steam told me how to figure it out, still odd steam didnt tell us why it was removed. Same with the misery debacle (dont get me wrong steam defenders, the dev(s) were at fault there, but steam could have be more upfront about it (they included stalker 2 assets I heard) but it is a similar sort of dmca shit like what is plaguing YouTube).

*: I dont actually know if keys bought from key resellers like humble bundle for example replace that 30% or if they take another bite, replacing it would explain why humble can sell so many keys at 20% off. Not that I dont have a separate rant about humble (which I suspect will not live very long anymore, as it has been acting weird).
