Their propaganda machine works so well, you’re proving it by bringing up all the usual talking points.
“They offer a good product so they deserve it.”
“They would leave if they were forced to reduce their profits.”
You know what countries can do? Get together and impose the same kind of rules to all companies no matter where they’re established. They can also decide to force companies to pay taxes based on where the revenue came from under the threat that they won’t be able to do business in their territory anymore.
It’s funny how in a previous conversation you were saying that people should be able to make donations to devs and you never thought “Hey, maybe it’s not normal that only 50% of what I pay ends up in the pockets of the people doing the actual work…” and you even suggest that art should be encouraged via tax redistribution. Well guess what, that wouldn’t be necessary if multimillionaires and billionaires didn’t exist in the first place.
People all around you are struggling and you’re defending the 1%, wake the fuck up.
Those are not my points, you made them up. My point is, there are no rules that prevent it from happening. No competition to make it seem fair at least for some other companies who are not Valve.
I have complains about Steam but financial part is hardly one of them. It’s not that they deserve the money, it’s that most others are being hugely ineffective, which creates this disparity.
It’s funny how you suggest that adding any part of those 30% to the pocket of actual devs would solve any problems.
My other points in other threads remain valid. I think you just misunderstood them.
I’m not defending anyone. It’s you who’s attacking people, for questionable reasons.

What disparity? All these companies generation millions and billions in profits with the boss making hundreds of times what the average employee makes in a year.

It would put the money in the hands of workers instead of in the hands of the elite that already has enough money that the only way it can spend it is by wasting it on millions dollars toys while devs need to camp in their office parking lot.
Your boss must truly love you very much if you believe that they deserve all the profits they generate off your work.
Government of which country or countries? You wouldn’t think they would stay in the US if what you said will happen, would you?
