    Lack of funding is mentioned every paragraph?

    belt-tightening can often mean simply shutting down.

    Sheffield says it’s hard not to feel guilty when other studios go under, even as his own struggles. “We’re all kind of fighting for a tiny slice of the same pie,”

    “When an indie doesn’t get funding for its game, you just quietly never see their work again,”

    The industry is struggling because steam and the other stores keep them on the brink, they have no leeway. I don’t know how steams greed could be seen as unrelated.

        Do you know of any other company that racks in as much cash and gets defended this hard? All I’m seeing is people defending an other billionaire cunt just because they use his product.

        Would you tell me to shut up if I was denouncing Elon Musk or Bezos? You can’t be anti-capitalism and pro-Steam. The moment you defend a billionaire, you are part of the problem.

          I’m not saying I’m pro-steam. I’m saying you’re doing a dogshit job of providing compelling arguments and are making us look stupid.

            Making 10 billion in a year while having 70 employees isn’t a compelling argument to you?

            Are you sure you know what anti-capitalism is?

              Sure man, keep condescending me, that’s really helping you and isn’t indicative of anything about you in any way. You’re really doing a good job of representing us out here in the internet trenches.

                Reread our conversation. You are the one being agressive.

                I shouldn’t have to be silent in what I believe in because you think it makes you look bad by association. It’s a silly reason to begin with and mostly imaginary.

                You have basically called me an idiot multiple times and threw colorful language like dogshit at me. I dont mind but it does make your perceived slight seem hypocritical. Stop playing the victim, no one is asking you to respond.

                I’m also not here to represent you. Im not part of your club. For one, I can’t be because I hate all billionaires, not just the ones that aren’t popular.
