We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

    Only an Epic Games apologist would parrot this as a talking point.

    Why are you trying to offend me? I didn’t call you names, why are you doing that?

    but ultimately it wasn’t for profits so much as it was survival.

    Visa and Mastercard aren’t the only available payment options in Steam. Yielding to them was for profit.

    Survival? Steam has enough profit to create it’s own payment processor and make it popular.

      He didn’t. He said people who parrot it are.
      Unless you do, there is no reason to be offended. Up to you.

      And no; realistically, if you lose Visa and Mastercard, you can close shop. Obviously it’s for profit, because a 99% reduction in turnover means all employees out of work.
      Yes, I took that number out of thin air, but I know most people would never bother as that is what they have.
      Maybe it’s different in your country.
