David Rosen of Wolfire Games (Receiver, Overgrowth, Lugaru) is alleging that steam reps have threatened to de-list his game if he lists it as less expensive on other platforms. Specifically not just steam keys but other distribution platforms.

The name of the game is to delay until after the election.

Just an open source e-ink device with the build quality of a Kindle. Nothing fancy.

Man, I love it when evangelical christian supporters tell me I am not Jewish enough. Friggin' heretical idolators.

They definitely give curated preference to companies that have had successful games on steam. I wouldn't be surprised if they have something worked out with EA.

Honestly, I wouldn't try to gotcha Valve on anything. They are a games distributor, and they will do and say anything to promote games that are selling well, and the developers and publishers behind them. They don't give a crap about games or devs that aren't selling. Nor would/should they.

Silly. Why can't we just regulated the sale of ammunition and gunpowder?

It's not just that there are people thinking about it, it's that this is what our brightest minds in our society are incentivized to think about.

There is a joke in tech circles - if you are smart enough you eventually end up in ad tech. It's really unhealthy for our society.

Brother, I got news for you. If you are feeling bi-sexual yearning, it's not because you watched a movie.

This is so silly. There is no technical solution to trust. What if Russia or China want to run a bit farm? Or the US goverbment? Are you not going to trust their signatures, and face legal action i their markets? This stuff is so stupid, just be honest that you want people to watch your ads. Than we can all refuse and move on with our lives.
