  • Plausible deniability is definitely a thing. I couldn’t pick Bovino out of a lineup personally, so if some jerkoff in a red sweater (which appears to be the case there.) got some food and drinks at a place I ran I wouldn’t think about it at all.

    Once it comes to light that red sweater jerkoff is King Megadick of Turd Mountain (Like him posting about eating with the boys at my place on Instagram or whatev.), then that plausible deniability is lost and now the place is either the place that knowingly served King Megadick, or the one that kicked his dumb ass out. One of those will (rightly) cause a huge drop in business and maybe employees.

























  • IIRC Gog takes 30% but not sure we can count them owing to what they distribute.

    The only actual competitor store (i.e. not reselling steam keys) at present is Epic with its 88/12 split after a million in sales, and as far as I know it hasn’t been profitable since it opened in 2018, despite straight up giving away product and buying exclusives to try and build a base, so not really the best argument.

    Obligatory LOL if we’re going to seriously note either the EA or Ubisoft stores in this discussion. MS probably falls into that pile too but tbh haven’t looked into them much.
