I blame githubers more than Nintendo pressure.
Plenty more DCVS you can host to, or self.

I am unsure your point here. Every1🧵 knows these unionists are unemployed.
We are wondering why they would go this far for a game that is already leaked.

Then take it up with the first responders. I found all of this silly, so I 🔁.
I am unsure if you caught up, but our scammer released a build.

starting a YouTube channel
Try Peertube channel instead. That way even libre projects get represented as well.

Doing the actual liberation.

I asked a critical question. If you react this poorly to criticism, I am not the one reaching for “lines” on a billion dollar empire.
Now, why don’t you help those indies up, instead of salting your ego on threadiverse?

I pressume is bigger, ’cause there’s rather more private accounts, accounts that don’t make reviews, resellers, keys takedowns, gift card trading, etc…

Reads like an absurdly high barrier to entry.

That barrier to entry is absurdly low. If a game isn’t making sales, it’s not Steams fault, it’s advertising. ANYONE can list games, which means there is a lot of chaff on the market.
I’ll admit that it’s not a great deal for people in poorer countries. Steam isn’t a public utility, though. You can post to itch.io for free, and there is a MASSIVE userbase there
Glad you admitted your mistake.

Recall, percentages are projections for masses that can only count to 100. It is, as this data demonstrates, a very limiting projection for logarithmic scales. When folks can see the cliff, they truly see the nepotistic curation Valve rerewards. There’s no «Surprise me!» like in spotify or bandcamp. «New indie titles to try!» «Indie of the week!» etc…

Yeah, but R⁎ can remove the entire parts they worked on the game entirely, making exposure a gamble.
Fair point about transitioning, not one I sympathize. (changed industries 15 times already )

1&3 seem plausible. 2) Not so much, since everyone of these unionists are merchandising their portfolios. If it’s about the art, they can redo mockups of the work they want others to see in the game that hasn’t been completed. For all we know, R⁎ will cut their works out.

Is iffy for two reason: plenty of non gamedev jobs out there that don’t do history checks, esp. on a work visa. They did make themselves public though.
-
feels like the closest reason, as they have already declared themselves disassociates from the leaker. Maybe they want the court to see they were wrongfully terminated, and “should be compensated.”

I am equally dumbfounded as well.
If only there was some way to address these unionists what demands need to be met, and what their goals truly are.I know for sure they can’t syndicate. Not on work visas.
