    This coming from game journalism, which has just turned into a mouthpiece and constantly been used to lie about how good games are.

    Funny how the date of this article comes out around the time that Amazon is failing, Epic is failing, Ubisoft is failing, and they’re failing because they hate the people that they sell their products to, and they refuse to be user-friendly and user-focused.

    Steam isn’t perfect, but the reason why they’re a monopoly is they actually give a shit about gamers, unlike all of their competition.

    Gamers aren’t a product, they’re a user, and Steam understands that offering the voice to those people makes their product what it is. The more users they have, the more money they make. They don’t need to nickel and dime and squeeze.

    This is something that every single competitor they have had has just blatantly ignored.

  • But there’s a certain point where your age does matter when you’re trying to do what is said to be the most stressful job on the planet.

    The stress from the job is just going to make them have those cognitive decline faster at the age that they’re at.

    So age does matter. Where it should not be the only marker, it should be included in the decision.

    Also, there’s already a limit on how old you have to be to run for president. There should be a top end as well for the same reasons you are no longer reflecting the majority of your peers at that point.

    And when you consider most 80 year olds don’t understand technology at all, and I haven’t met any 80 year olds that were up to date, it is a big factor.
