Comment Steam Just Another Form of 30% Rape (Score 1) 295
Valve wants their form of 30% rape to beat out MS's future 30% rape marketplace. I wish internationally laws would ban providers from taking more than a 5% cut on apps, music, and movies, books, magazines. It's too much power for Apple, Microsoft, Steam, or Google to be grabbing 30% of all intellectual properties. 5% is still too much but a bit more reasonable. Also, laws must mandate alternate marketplaces that can be selected by the user. Valve is really grasping at straws. Remember how a few months ago they boasted that a many years-old version of DirectX (version 9?) was slower than the latest OpenGL? They're just on a smear campaign to boost the last hope of 30% rape they can hang on to: Linux.
