I class myself as a power user, other than Galaxy Store (which is also seem mostly as bloatware) is not offered on any non-samsung phone set up.

The Amazon App Store is acceptable but also gated

That doesn't sound like any main stream user can access that.

Why are you mad about this?

Google absolutely does.

Name me 4+ more Android app stores you can use?

Reach then educate then. Don't settle, literally why Lemmy/Pub exists. I feel @Rockslayer isn't a union organiser. Or if they are, they're a very poor one with that attitude/mindset.

Then do better. If you're a Union organiser, you should know to push the better options rather than kneel to the "WELL MOST PEOPLE DO X" BS.

If you donate to the devs, of course they still have to pay taxes. That's still income.

Okay? And physical stores don't? This isn't news and doesn't address your claim whatsoever? It doesn't compare spotify vs indi labels.

Discoverability, publishing, advertising, gigs etc.

Wohh there, that's a lot of claims with 0 proof.

Can yo source any of that?

One of my favourite facts about people hating or finding "gotcha" moments to vegans/vegetarians is that most the time they don't have a clue why people are vegan or vege and miss the whole point.

TWO ADD PROFILES! See the hypocrisy?

Trump is not a good (if at all) businessman.

I read a comment earlier that there has always been the same percentage of stupid people on earth. Just that the internet makes them more obvious and noticed.

Your existence and comment proves this.

You're completely right. People suck steams dick are ridiculously hypocritical and blond.

I was mocked for defending Epic trying to compete withs steam. They're doing great work for Devs and gamers. But sadly, blind gamers (who claim they hate monopolys) aren't self aware enough to see the trees through the forest.

I don't think you understand mortgages very well.

You know you can remortgage or sell your house before it's paid off, right?

If I pay in £500 a month. Likely, 20-80 of that goes to interest. I'm gaining £480 in equity each month.

Which I can gain access it at near any point with very little penalty.

You're focusing very blindly on your single point of "the deposit". Which is the hurdle everyone should focus on however possible.

There are some amazing apps and even web apps now

Unfortunately, the majority of us are fucking stupid. We voted for Brexit...

The other possibility is that the younger voters are even more stupid by not voting.

Either way, politically stupid or stupid lazy.

Stardew valley too.

Then there's factorio.

Then there's any super giant game.

Then there's, frankly, just indie games in general.

Fuck triple aaa

Linux one, I wasn't aware of but that does suck.

Unfortunately, due to the behaviours of the audience they are trying to gain that is likely the best and cost effective way to gain new users. But I do totally agree their launcher sucks ass and needs work.

Care to elaborate why you're calling them Evil Games?

They are better for developers via unreal engine.

They are better for both developers and publishers via the markets lowest cut of earnings via their store front.

They pay well to try break steams monopoly. If anything, steam are the bad guys via their extortionate cut. (30%)

They are better for indie Devs on Fortnight compared to Roblox.

They do everything better than most... so place your anger correctly. I'm sick of people hating on epic while they're the only company trying to beat the monopolys....

Let me frame this another way.

Google is monopolistic and kills any other competitor from competing. Thus preventing consumer choice.

Google is already one of the biggest companies in the world. I've never given them a penny in my 2 decades of service use. Yet the line goes up.

They exist because of us the consumer.

They also don't pay, let alone treat, their creators fairly. Although they are 99% the reason they exist.

Yet Google wants more because line must go up.

There are other services I pay for such as nebula, float plane, patron specifics. But not all creators can sustain that. And I doubt it I pay for YouTube that will change. Because spoiler alert. YouTube don't pay well. It's sponsors and merch that keep creators alive.
