The problem is that Trump’s supporters will still believe him over anyone else.

Dedicating 5% of GDP to military spending is bullshit, but a degree of targeted spending is still needed to counteract aggression by countries like Russia that would otherwise invade countries like Ukraine with impunity.

CBS News would rather spread fascist propaganda than accurately report on American war crimes.

The problem with that solution, from Valve’s perspective, is both the cost of providing the voucher (they would have to pay developers at least 70% of the voucher value) and the risk that an end-consumer that doesn’t intend to use Steam simply converts it to money by selling Steam gifts, replacing a sale they would have otherwise had while not generating additional sales from the Steam Machine user.

The ideal means of doing it to diminish that risk would be to make the voucher not usable for gifts, though Valve would still need to price the system to account for the cost of providing the voucher.

If only there were some way this could have been prevented… /s

They don’t seem to be particularly concerned about supporting the Russian war machine.

Gambling is financially irresponsible and wasteful.

Beyond initial development costs, it didn’t cost Valve anything to ship the Index with Alyx though. Bundling in a $200 voucher would be increasing the system price by $160 in direct cost to Valve for no reason, as consumers are likely to spend that after purchasing the system, but might be dissuaded by a high initial purchase price.

A more apt comparison in that scenario would be Valve bundling their entire software library with the Steam Machine, or developing a new game to bundle with it as a means of adding value.

And the average Trump voter will just accept that happily.

Because Valve would have to pay out 70% the value of the vouchers to developers in game redemptions; the break even point would therefore need to account for that amount being subtracted first (i.e. for $900 including a $200 voucher, $760).

At that point, Valve would likely have higher sales if they didn’t include the voucher and reduced the price by the 70% in voucher value it would have cost them otherwise.

Location points are approximations

You mean the Saudi Arabian desert isn’t the ideal place for a data center? /s

but then offer a $100 - $200 Steam voucher along with it?

Then the same thing would occur—buyers not interested in using Steam would sell the vouchers or the accounts those vouchers are tied to.

It’s an insane violation of privacy to use AI-assisted traffic cameras to scan for seatbelt usage.

Trump is just trying to bring more people onto the side of supporting his illegal war on Iran by proposing an unrealistic risk of danger to the U.S.

App stores shouldn’t have to register at all. If nothing is done about Google’s plans to require developer registration to release apps, then their monopoly will be stronger than ever.

The $175 billion itself is already theft from consumers when accounting for passed on costs.

Including transgender suicides fueled by their failure to protect transgender rights?

Not supporting violations of international law is a pretty good option.

Fediseer perhaps?
