public company CEO may be incentivised to maximise share price
It's not even really CEOs that make all the bad decisions. Layoffs for instance are almost always in reality a direct decision by the board, and the board members of public companies are usually even worse people (and in many cases just a direct representative of a bigger company so it bubbles to the same worst people at the top) than the CEOs, as hard as that is to believe
much larger comision
GoG, every console, play store, and Apple store take the same cut. Itch io is strange and takes a smaller cut but only indie games publish there in the first place. Epic and (windows) Microsoft store take 12%, but they fucking suck and you know they're evil fucks that would definitely fuck you and publishers over as hard as they could if they ever got the market share. I couldn't immediately find numbers for all the various publisher run stores (I'm not even sure if arbitrary games can sell on them) like the ubisoft one but they also fucking suck and are run by evil fucks.
It would be awesome if steam took a smaller cut, but complaining about it like it's not the same cut everyone else that has marketshare takes and accounting for the ones that do take less being garbage run by public companies trying to buy marketshare then enshitify is disingenuous.
You're countering a statement I didn't make.
If it's going to fail I'd rather just get it over with.
CEOs them to make power points using the already pre built company presentation template then talk about how they couldn't have made it without AI like that's supposed to show how useful AI is and not how incompetent they are
Yeah I'm assuming the goal is some kind of cryptographic process that meets the stated goals. Publishing this news before actually having anything is obviously going to lead to nothing but skepticism though.
I don't see any details here that make me understand how sites couldn't just save the PACT and collude to build profiles.
Not saying it will definitely help, but if you're not even feeling it the caffeine dependency might actually be making you feel worse rather than better
