I did not realize they were trying to compete in the first place.

    Look at market shares, Steam is in a monopolistic position, they can turn around and fuck up the whole market whenever they want, and people like you are encouraging it.

    You realize that they’re anti DEI over there? I don’t think drag would ever be hired by Valve!

        They wouldn’t even release a statement about George Floyd because it was too divisive for them, they instead gave 10k to each employee to spend on whatever they wanted, which might just as well have been BLM or a white supremacist group, they didn’t check!

            You should watch the whole thing, it would be very eye opening

            Considering the amount of time you spend on here I’m sure you’ve got the time to spare anyway.

                  Valve is managed by “everyone” (not all people are good at managing), everyone can choose what they want to work on being exiting projects or new ones, the company only hires senior people and anyone in the company can be part of the hiring process, they use their version of stack ranking where your peers rank your performance, the top of Valve does not want to be political even if the employees want to.

                  This causes Valve to mostly hire the kind of people already employed there (white men). High pressure on performance has become more of a turn down for especially women.

                  They probably run the company the way Elon Musk would run it - on paper it’s cool, but humans being humans with biases makes it not so cool.

                    And the boss doesn’t care that it’s a white sausage party in there and that employees who don’t fit are discriminated against even if it’s unconscious bias.

              Drag is willing to watch one minute if you provide a timestamp, and 0 minutes if you don’t. It’s your decision.
