| JEMC said: Instrumental or not, now they own it and it's another source of income, which is what matters. A deal for all those games makes more sense, but I still find it a bit excessive, specially given the lower cut they game from each game sold on their store and that the exclusivity will only be temporal. But hey, if thei're willing to pay it, all the better for S-E. |
Most people think of Edison for the lightbulb, when some of us really know it was Tesla, as well as other stuff he invented, that doesn't mean to say I'm going to give Edison all the credit, just because he made it popular. I go by who created it first, not who owned or made it popular later, because that matters little to the very conception of anything (as I see it).
RL is also oldish now, so I don't really see that bringing in as much as Fornite is atm. That's probably why they fully cut off new users from getting it on Steam, because they wanted to funnel them onto their client instead.
You can see what they've paid so far, and I doubt all those indie devs costed them more than the AAA deals they made, that's why I think the majority of those deals made in the 400m were mostly AAA and publisher costs (like Remedy/505 games for example, or making GTA V free for a limited time).
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
