We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

    Me:

    30% markup

    Them:

    everyone only talks about the 30 since thats all they hear about. Only an Epic Games apologist would parrot this as a talking point

    You:

    He didn’t. He said people who parrot it are [Epic Games apologist]

    Confused noises.

    Semperverus said anyone who says that 30% is too much is an Epic Game apologists, whatever that is.

    Semperverus is insinuating anyone who says that 30% is amount taken by Steam is wrong, and saying that is parroting, and should be instead thought as “Poor Steam is forced to take 30% because this is industry standard”, but Valve, and I quote here, “goes out of its way to make exceptions to this rule”.

    And no; realistically, if you lose Visa and Mastercard, you can close shop. Obviously it’s for profit, because a 99% reduction in turnover means all employees out of work.

    Doesn’t change the fact that bending over backwards for Visa and Mastercard and banning some content because of their whims is enshittification. The service is worse than it was before, in the name of profit.
