    Profit/employees isn’t a measure of efficiency, completed projects/employees is and I’m willing to bet that a company without any real organization like Valve doesn’t complete as many projects/employees as companies like Apple or Microsoft.

        It’s not just files. It’s forums, chats, performance metrics, and game integration for gaming with your friends with a centralized account instead of 30 different friend group listing across 50 games.

        Yeah most file hosts put hundreds of millions into making sure all your files can be used on platforms they weren’t designed for /s

        I love when people are proud of having no fucking clue what they’re talking about

        I don’t see why you consider that bad. Yes, it lets me download them many times. And automatically updates. And provides multiplayer. And friends and chat. And a bunch of other features too. This is what they call a “value add”.

        I mean I both agree but also I think “it’s just x” comments in tech always ignore the complexity of scale, availability, and integrity.

        I wonder how many of them realize that in a couple of clicks someone can decide they don’t have access to their games anymore…
