Weird. Does this mean the selling of cheaper steam keys just isn’t true or is it just not enforced?

And if you want to sell on a good platform that platform is going to want to take a cut.

So you’re saying even in the case of steam keys valve is cool with it?

What does that have to do with my comment?

Videos games aren’t like food or housing. If you want to buy a game you can look up all the different sites selling it and buy from which ever one you think is best.

Goal post.

What do you mean it doesn’t exist? Epic got me to download their launcher because they were selling gta 5 for free. How could I have found that out if I only play on steam???

If there’s a genuinely good product that’s popular because it’s good. There’s no need to step in and give shittier products more share in the market.

The point in breaking up monopolies is to be more fair for consumers. If you want to say they’re technically a monopoly because they have a large share of the market then fine. But I don’t see that as a bad thing until it starts abusing its power.

That’s only for steam keys.

If they do anti-competitive behaviour then that would make them a monopoly.

“Steam is so popular because they’re good not because they’re a monopoly”

“Oh yeah? Well what if Steam was a monopoly? They would be a monopoly then right!”

It’s weird because normally having a monopoly is really bad but all the competition pales in comparison to Steam and they actually provide a good platform. Maybe after Gaben dies Steam will go to shit but for now they’re not just the best but also doing way more than just being a place to buy games.

Everyone deserves a fair trial ffs. That’s how you prevent innocent people being thrown in jail.

If you’re legally required to have a degree or whatever related to the topic then all you have to do is require social media sites integrate some sort of display that shows the users qualification that they can submit to these sites if they want to use their platform to discuss such topics. Then when you see someone making consistent claims without displaying their credentials you have the evidence right there to deplatform them.

I can literally go and do this right now I wouldn’t need authority.

But with an actual dedicated team they could collect this evidence and present it to a court for this issue.

Those people are not cops. I could right now investigate top youtubers to see if their platforms are being used to spread misinformation without displaying any credentials. And if you paid me to do that I wouldn’t be a cop.

Right but it’s not the only part. You’re making it seem like I want more people on the streets with the power to arrest people for whatever.

I feel like you’re confusing policing for investigating.

Why does it need a complete restructuring? Just have an agency who’s purpose is investigating these specific crimes and then rely on regular cops to handle perpetrators.

Cops aren’t the same as say the FDA.

And there is harm when people take misinformed medical advice from people claiming to know better.

because things like libel

Why does it have to be like libel? Why not death threats? Advocating for an intellectual position on things like medicine can cause harm and should be regulated.

Sure, more cops is clearly a great solution!

I didn’t say that you cunt. Why can it not be like what they did with Alex Jones where he was throwing a bunch of conspiracies around school shootings and parents who had their children murdered started getting harnessed so Alex Jones ended up facing consequences. This isn’t “oh so you just want more police. Good.”
