Gabe Newell is not a video game developer

Yes famously all video game developers are billionaires

Of course they are made to cover costs and make money, but you can cover more costs for future games or ongoing development the game if more people are buying the game, even if it isn't at full price

I would think it usually implies the opposite

Games on Steam are not usually recurring purchases, one person won't buy the same product over and over like they need to for food. This means the market of people willing to pay the full price gets saturated over time.

Sales are a way to increase the market size by lowering the "barrier to entry" (price). Sometimes a price will be permanently lowered, however usually not because a temporary sale encourages people to buy now instead of later.

And here I am discussing, trying to not disregard ideas I am cynical of, and instead ask questions to gain understanding. Apparently that is discouraged here.

Thank you for the resource, next time lead with that and skip the insults.

It might be ignorant, but I certainly don't get the impression at all that things are going well in Ukraine despite being exposed to this propaganda, nor do I see how it benefits NATO for its citizens to believe so. It seems to me that believing Russia is weak would make people value NATO less.

But thanks for stopping by to insult me for asking a question, really love that attitude.

If this is true, then who is generating the propaganda? Who does it benefit?

??? The logic is pretty clear, cybertruck was first entered production in November 2023, and Elon has been doing his shit well before then. This is exactly why I talk about cybertruck owners specifically, because other Tesla models have been out much longer, so people may well have bought them before Elon started doing shit

While I get where you are coming from, the flawed logic is that cybertruck owners chose to support elon with their purchase well after he had shown his true colours (though tbf it has only gotten worse since then)

So comparing that to people whose only support of Russia is the fact they were born there (which is out of their control obviously) is not exactly fair
