Said while the fanboy shills for GOG's tiny 30% cut because Steam's 30% cut is far too much

And you now admit that 12% isn't enough to make a profit

Sorry, now you can have the last word. Just wanted that to sink in you proved my entire point for me. I really appreciate you changing sides...despite your short attention span and ad hominem deflections.
This is Slickdeals. You're supposed to be here because you like saving money. Here you are, arguing the case for a multi-billion dollar corporation's right to milk you (and independent developers) of their money. You're a very confused man.

So what part of GOG's 30% is "saving money?" How is corporation A charging 30% not "milking" but corporation B charging 30% is "milking?" Does the difference between number of employees or overall corporate valuation add value or subtract cost to the end user? Please, show us the math.

And yes, that is a very confusing statement if you are actually suggesting such.

The product, price, and reseller gross profit are the same. Zero difference. Only actual difference is Steam is not true digital ownership, but offers much more through their service, while GOG does offer (some) DRM free games yet doesn't offer a lick beyond that.

Pick your poison but both charge the publisher 30%. Your entire pretend point, one you cannot contest. You are basically arguing swimming in lake water will get you wet but ranting how we should go swimming in a pond so we will get less wet somehow. Same H2O, just a smaller body of it. LOL....

(now he is going to start nitpicking my analogy)

I'm not defending GOG, I'm just saying that it's better to buy from anyone than Steam.

Epic, Microsoft and others sell games at a much more equitable 88/12 split.
So why aren't games cheaper on those platforms? Because Steam won't let them. If they ever want to sell their game on Steam, they have to make the end-user price the same (excluding some sales). Here is an excerpt from an active class action:

"Valve interprets and enforces its PMFN (Permanent Most Favored Nation) to mandate that the publisher cannot sell that version in other stores for a cheaper price, even when the competing store has a much lower commission. Valve thus prevents the game publisher from selling at a lower price on the alternative store ..."

I think the best part is you are holding Epic Games as an example of what Steam should be, while complaining about a "multi-billion dollar corporation"....the owner of Epic,Tim Sweeney is worth about 10...billion all by himself. Epic Games is worth roughly 30 billion. But "multi-billion dollar corporation" are bad...not to mention their own fair share of countless class action lawsuits, many of which are because Epic was targeting children as victims. $300,000,000 was it?

Then the alternative to the alternative is GOG collecting a 30% cut vs Steam's 30% cut. Big difference! The splitting of hairs couldn't get any thinner.

But hey, like I said many times above...GOG is still great. I don't hold anything against them. But between their 30% GP% and Epic's "multi-billion dollar corporation" size...not sure you should be casting stones towards the only true innovator out of any of them. But Steam does have faults, no one has suggested otherwise.

Fun useless fact: I live about 30 minutes from Tim Sweeney and somehow his cell phone calls (for like a month) would automatically roll over to my wife's cell phone because someone messed up a digit on his call forwarding at Epic Game's HQ. It was an interesting month for my wife to be sure! Even spoke to Mr. Sweeney a few times trying to get that corrected, he promised to send me "a bunch of games and merch"...never did arrive...but I honestly didn't expect it to. No harm done, just 500+ voicemails for us to go through.

I have JC 3 XL and 4. I got them in some bundle or for free. I don't remember. Whichever I played was not fun for me. Just mindlessly blowing things up without a purpose. I think I played for a couple hours and then uninstalled. So I'd save 2 bucks.

Did you mention that developers like the Steam platform? They have all these tools available so there's a good reason to publish on steam and make use of its API.

It's crazy how much people prefer Steam. I get the convenience but Steam is a big reason AAA games can be $80 now. Their 30% cut is ripping us all off.
I didn't know steam is taking 30% from sales, that's a rip off, I can't believe they were taking that much, more than 20 years using steam and in my mind their cut was around 10%. I'm going to consider other options whenever is possible.

People should prefer GOG to Steam - no DRM and you are not tied to playing one game on one family PC at the same time.
Exactly this, I am now buying games on GOG rather than Steam. When Steam made the choice to make people use windows 10/11 to be the only OS that can use their Steam Client to launch and buy games, that basically was a big red flag. I prefer the GOG way of not being limited on playing your collection of games that you purchased to some game launcher that can only run on an OS of their choosing. I still look at all game deals posted but I only buy on GOG now when possible.

Great point. I also didn't mention Steam workshop, seamless mod support, multi OS support, Steam Link, Steam Input, Remote Play, etc.

But I don't think the other guy is actually able to look at things objectively so it would most likely fall on deaf ears.

Odd...because Steam has a Linux OS of their own, as well as full Linux and Mac support.

The move from Windows 8 to 10 was because Windows 8 stopped getting support. Why would (any platform) continue to support an OS that has gapping security holes that no one plans on patching? It could put MILLIONS of users at risk. One infected machine could spread to the entire user base.

This was a software industry move, not just Steam. GOG didn't do it because they are mostly running a file server....heck their "GOG GALAXY 2.0" (and glorified download client) is still in beta and appears to have been last updated January of 2023. Wonder if GOG even knows Windows 11 is a thing Wink Download.com doesn't care either if you are running Windows 3.1.

But GOG GALAXY still works fine, I have it installed. Also it is pretty cool how it seems open source so things like Heroic Launcher (Linux / Steam Deck support) can integrate with it.

Spoiler alert: in 2025 Windows 10 will stop getting support [microsoft.com], you are about to be mad at thousands of software companies in a few months for jumping ship from Windows 10.

We see things differently, but I myself still have a pc running with windows 7 and a lot of installed games, so when Steam did that I was affected differently than you. I have my laptop with a newer version of windows, but my tower pc was windows 7. It actually has helped me save more money by being more selective in buying games, before I was just trying to add to my almost 500 games on Steam, now I don't have the urge to just buy anything cheap.
As far as beta thing goes, beta isn't always a bad thing. Take "MakeMKV" for example, it says on their forum support page "all features of MakeMKV are free while program is in beta." It has been in beta since 2008.

Frankly, not concerning Steam but you are really opening yourself up malicious software / people by still running Windows 7. Unless you don't connect to networks or have zero personal information on the machine it is almost like having no security. The exception would be you manually applying 3rd party fixes to every single program, app, driver, and 'framework.' That would be a lot of work and almost a full time job keeping up with all the zero day exploits and 'fixes.' Highly doubt that is what is occuring.

And I never said "beta" a bad thing, assuming active development. Not patching your current and only software for 24 months which is still in "beta" stage is a bad thing, alarmingly so. 24 months is an insane amount of time in computer terms.

Good luck and I mean that sincerely.
