What would swapping servers achieve?

SEO is wrong - it’s like an arms race where the shittiest party spending the most wins and every one else needs to play by the rules to even exist.

The world would be better off if noone did it in the first place and search engines could just do the job they intended to do.

Google totally went to shit in the last years with their first page often full of websites great at SEO but horrible in whatever you were actually looking for.

Meanwhile the little ultra-specific forum that had a thread years ago about your specific search and no money for SEO is somewhere on page 5 while websites just repeating the search phrase over and over with no answer in sight are at the top.

That whole industry can cease to exist from one day to the next and nothing of value would be lost - if anything value would be gained for the average person

Steam is just perfect at keeping the gamers behind them as they are only assholes behind doors to the Devs on their platform.

30% is an absurd cut for a store that has such a monopoly that if you don’t release there your game is pretty much cancelled even if you release at your own store without DRM and with additional goodies (Looking at GOG and The Witcher - they released the Gwent standalone like a year later on steam because it didn’t sell at all on GOG and then it apparently outsold the GOG version without a week)

People are just too lazy and Steam is keeping them happy enough to not bother looking another way.

Epic isn’t a good guy in any case but the exclusive deals on AAA Games they do is probably the only way to get someone to buy the game there instead of Steam

I feel a lot of people only look on HP with a lot of nostalgia and don’t want to see the problems with that world.

It’s a great children’s book but imho not as good for adults to look at it without giving it a second thought

How is harry potter in the center with all the terf shit Rowling pulled recently and how the world is clearly structured in strictly conservative hierarchies where everyone has their role and there are races only made for serving despite clearly intelligent and races with huge noses that are all working in finances and so on.

Shaun did a great video on the series pointing out how problematic a lot of it is

Or they still think they are entitled to a “free” search engine and don’t see the amount of resources needed for that and that it’s actually a service worth paying for, either through a subscription or through a donation-based service.

Switching one private company for another is definitely not the way to go…
