Gaben was right when he said "make your store easier than piracy and people will shop there." I never considered playing it before now tbh, but it's literally two clicks away now so I might.
video game distribution and digital storefronts should be a fucking monopoly why do I want a hundred thousand fucking walled gardens especially when I know encouraging it will just lead to shit like what we're seeing now with streaming transitioning back towards more extractive cable package type rent seeking
...because monopolies will always act properly, never abuse their market power once all competitors are dead, and will surely never engage in any extractive rent seeking... right?
yeah but have you considered that no store is easier than piracy if you never learn how to use digital stores in the first place because you've always pirated. i'm routinely kind of suprised when anyone buys something legitimately online because i still have it in my head that you obviously never give your bank details out online because its probably a scam.
It’s free 24/7 on The Pirate Bay tho
Yes

MARKETPLACE
I bet Texans wish they had more power companies right now.
5000 power companies and al of them useless!!!! ]
