He's not obtuse, he's a ceo. His goal is to make money. Not care about what's best for gaming or gamers.

That's pretty obvious. It's been on prominent display lately. All he cares about is money and a personal vendetta against Steam when EA and Activision and Bethesda have been raping this industry we're supposed to believe Valve is the big bad enemy.

I kinda agree it seems that way. I dont know Tim but whats going on with pc platform isnt good, its really stirring a lot of shit up. I expect it to get more locked down content wars.

PC even with a Steam monopoly where we had GOG and Humble and GreenMan and a thousand other companies to choose from was better off six months ago than it is now. PC gaming now feels like the goddamn cold war.

I like how i never heard steam fanboy before all of this lol. I personally hope it doesnt get content blocked, if im a steam user with 700 games i dont want to use another store for a game or have to wait 6 months to get it on steam. Doesnt seem “open” at all

That's the thing. I believe we should have the freedom to choose. Even with the way the revenue structures are we all agree those need to change. If Epic wanted to be at the forefront and make that a big message I would be celebrating that. As long as they did it in their lane

What’s more fundamental, though? Developer freedom to choose which stores to sell on, or customer freedom to buy any product at any store? The first derives from the developer’s creative freedom and ownership of the works they create.

The “right to buy any product at any store” isn’t a principle of any known philosophy or economic theory. And it would directly contradict developer freedom, by forcing creators to sell their works through stores against their will, regardless of store terms.

Steam’s 30% cut versus Epic’s 12% cut is just one point on the spectrum. What if another store took 50%? Should developers have to sell through that store too? What about 90%?

Question: how much is the cost of your milk in the fridge? And how much of that is the net share of the diary farmer, who produces it?

I don’t know anything about the economics of milk production and distribution, though if I were to advocate or protest on behalf of a milk distribution strategy, I would certainly study the topic in considerable detail.

So you obviously don't care as a consumer. And why exactly gamers should care about the net share of game developers or publishers?

Because games is a hobby that deals with creativity and innovation. Getting the developers more money can increase the creativity and innovation, that can make the enjoyment of this hobby even more.
