    He’s right

    Some people have huge backlogs of games they will naver be able to play, some games alone will count for hundreds of hours of playtime.

    You can’t manage all them, and that platform encourages overspending

    I wondered which studio would be bold enough to do blatantly insult an entire marketplace of potential customers, but it’s just some guy.

    Chris Zukowski.

    I am a game marketing consultant and strategist. I have helped Games-as-a-Service companies, indie publishers, and small to single-person teams understand their audience and communicate with them in a more personal way.

    Funny way to communicate with your clients audience mate, calling us all “a bunch of drunken sailors”…

    I specialize in optimizing your marketing for the Steam algorithm

    Ah, so you’re part of the reason nothing has a soul any more. Got it.

    You best be glad these sailors are drunk and laying about on their hoard. Before Steam, those sailors were pirates. Do not tempt them to set sail again.

    It’s like gym membership or books. If everyone with gym membership would go regularly, the business won’t be profitable. Or if everyone only buys a new book after they finish what they have bought, the publishing industry would be in shambles.

    These businesses play the probability game. They are actually just insurance by a different name.

    When I first got a Steam account, my original plan was to buy every game released on it. But now that’s impossible.

    I mean, where is the lie? Gimme cheap games, I’ll “buy” all of them!
