This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not a thing.
Also, are you complaining that smaller devs get a bigger cut than larger devs? That's certainly an interesting gripe...
It's "an interesting gripe" that indie game devs have to give a larger percentage of their money to the yacht fund than big companies do? If I thought you could read I'd believe you're a corporate shill.
tbf the way it's worded sucks and does sound that way if you don't already know what it's supposed to mean. which i didn't until i scrolled down. why so hostile?
It doesn't sound that way at all.
They were hostile (and for my part, im honestly fresh out of fucks to give)
Smaller devs have to pay 30% of their revenues to steam. If a game sells well enough, their revenue share increases and steam takes a smaller cut, 25 or even 20%. This greatly benefits publishers of big games and unfairly punishes smaller developers. I think that's a perfectly fair gripe.
