This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Developers and publishers set the prices of sales like CD Projekt who makes Cyberpunk and has a 65% off sale right now.

So look at that, the company that owns GOG is one of the companies you're upset about making all those sales and "taking money" from people.

Wheres the hate man? Why not boycott?

Or is that only for Steam and not really about who sets the sales?

I mean if you're going to be outraged at least have some consistency about it.

Sounds like the only thing you're upset about that Valve controls is more people use it and the CEO has a yacht. Due to those sales that your beloved owners of GOG set.

ALSO GOG ALSO TAKES A 30% CUT

It’s not sales specifically that I have an issue with, it’s a business model based on selling people tons of games they don’t play. Is GOG doing that too? Well I don’t like that either, but at least I can take my games with me when I leave GOG because they’re DRM free downloads from a web browser.
