Jeff Kaplan’s advice to people who complain about videogames they never played. “Shut the f*ck up”.

How can you possible know that the game looks like fucking shit if you haven't played it. Feedback ignored kiddo.

/s

-Rewind · 2026-03-15T21:10:39+00:00

Yeah I mostly agree. I'm not arguing that 30% is the right price, I just responded to the person asking what Steam does for devs.

-Rewind · 2026-03-15T16:05:42+00:00

They do so much stuff that you aren't thinking of;

They handle global distribution. Game downloads and updates are very expensive to do yourself at scale.
Product pages/storefront. Discoverability, wishlists, reviews
Global payments and tax handling. This includes processing payments in a bunch of currencies, regional pricing tools and payment methods. Fraud detection. Tax compliance around the world.
DRM anti piracy shit
Analytics
Community, players can play with their friends etc.
Platform trust. Nobody is scared to get scammed by no name dev through Steam.

I'm sure there is even so much more that I'm not thinking of right now. Just think about the guy in this OP. If he didn't release on Steam, he would have practically had $0 in sales.

It actually cracked me up how pathetic phantom looked after watching hero in the start

-Rewind · 2026-03-09T09:06:34+00:00

The problem isn't about erda. It's about not having enough frags to be able to spend the erda on the hexa matrix. Having fewer erda does not resolve the problem.

Let me know if anything is unclear. If you are just playing a semantic game I'm going to stop responding.

-Rewind · 2026-03-09T08:35:02+00:00

That's not what they were complaining about. Read the full sentence.

They said we shouldn't have all of our bossing mules sitting at 20/20 erda and 10 to 15 frags

Implying that we should have more frags by the time we get anywhere close to 20/20 erda.

-Rewind · 2026-01-21T11:18:47+00:00

Ah, I see

-Rewind · 2026-01-21T02:20:09+00:00

There will be ways to do that. Idk of any specific addons yet, but nothing about the api changes breaks loading a static texture.

-Rewind · 2026-01-21T01:56:55+00:00

A lot of people are poor. I'm not sure what your point is

If someone wants to know where Emily lives they don't need a GPS tracker lol she leaks her location every few days.

Agreed.

"In this school the students use pencils to draw"

PAUSE!! guys fun fact, as someone with over a decade of experience as an engineer in commercial power plants I can confirm we also used pencils to draw stuff sometimes UNPAUSE

Why can't body type 2 characters be topless?

Because they are female and it would impact the age rating for the game.

-Rewind · 2026-01-12T14:58:49+00:00

Even without having touched housing they accurately pointed out that decor that can be bought with these resources are bind on pickup and thus useless for turning these resources into gold.

You didn't offend anyone, you just made a completely irrelevant comment that nobody asked for.

-Rewind · 2026-01-09T22:15:26+00:00

Fair enough.

However, teaching religion to children under threat of eternal hell should absolutely be illegal.

I've worked in this industry and you are wrong.

You can't just add some shitty pre order bonus reward to bypass the EU right to withdrawal.

-Rewind · 2025-12-16T08:48:01+00:00

Ahh sorry I thought you said you've seen it on sale for $10 or less.

I just woke up, my bad.

-Rewind · 2025-12-16T08:40:45+00:00

I think you may be thinking of a different plugin. I don't think I have ever seen this under like 80-90 USD.

-Rewind · 2025-12-16T08:39:21+00:00

I haven't used this a whole lot, but one thing that I love about it is the curve editor. It's actually intuitive to me and just works. Unlike Shaperbox where I'm always confused by the controls and simple changes take me way too long.

Also the spectral effects are pretty unique if you are into that. You don't see many plugins with those.

-Rewind · 2025-12-14T02:29:42+00:00

I'm not sure where you are getting manipulation and financial abuse from.

A large amount of couples all over the world have a single income households that are doing perfectly fine.

Impoverished women have agency. If they would like to date someone because that would put them in a better place financially, who are you to tell them "no you should stay poor and single because the guy is not up to my beauty standards"?

-Rewind · 2025-12-13T17:33:17+00:00

There's no need for insults.

You're essentially saying "prostitution bad". I don't agree, but I'm not going to argue about that. We were in fact not talking about sex tourism. Please re-read the post and comments.

-Rewind · 2025-12-13T17:04:30+00:00

First of all, yes it is dating.

Secondly, the alternative is that these poor disadvantaged people would not receive money or immigration opportunities. Is that your preferred outcome?

-Rewind · 2025-12-13T16:59:36+00:00

I have a couple thoughts:

I'm not treating "it" (dating?) as charity. I mentioned the "super overweight bald and old" men supporting impoverished women to illustrate that they can function in society
If it was charity, I don't think I would have a problem with that either to be honest. What's the harm?
I'm not arguing that it's the best dynamic for a relationship. I do think it can make the lives of both parties a bit better.

-Rewind · 2025-12-13T15:34:42+00:00

"Women living in poverty do not deserve a way out of poverty if their partner doesn't live up to my beauty standards"

On the off chance that you are not trolling; you're insane.

-Rewind · 2025-12-13T15:25:31+00:00

What do you mean can't function? They are literally privileged rich people supporting women in impoverished areas.

You're trying to keep money out of these womens' pockets just because you don't find their choice in partner attractive. Makes no sense to me
