Weird, I read the article and it contradicts everything you are saying. It even states that too many meetings hinder communication. Maybe I’m looking at the wrong article.
It’s almost like the Welch style of business has chemically altered people’s brains into thinking that style of management and communication is the only thing that works or something. Regularly scheduled meetings are a waste of time. If communication, the right team, and trust are in place they are totally unnecessary and that’s what that CEO has. Something Welch didn’t know shit about. That boomer mentality needs to die already. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

lol I didn't say that. I agree with everything that you said in your second half. They got "lucky" because they put themselves in a good position to get lucky. They are also not above criticism because their stock price is really high. Both those things can be true. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

It depends. My boss is in another country, 8 time zones away. We have a weekly 121, which is very handy as we never get to chat whilst passing in the hall or whilst making coffee. It’s a good time to give a report or ask advice.
For my direct reports, we have a weekly meeting as a full team, each Monday and anything else is “as required” but could be grabbing a moment whilst standing by the microwave waiting for lunch to heat up… | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
I bet it was useful for them. With that many direct reports, how do they compete for attention? Not brown nosing attention, but getting management sign off or setting up meetings with high level customers. That 121 time is when you put forwards your case for them to act. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

What happens if you fly into the microwave | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
If you're going the speed of an airplane, it would last a fraction of a second and much would be reflected by the aluminum
But as long as airplanes are listening to air traffic control, they'd never be likely to go near it
Also I'd hope the frequency of microwave is tuned such that it would do minimal damage to any animals, and/or be felt and therefore any animal will tend to avoid it even if other lines if deterrents don't work 100% | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

In addition to protecting our auto industries we should also be pressuring them to get off their asses and catch up on electric vehicle technology and production or face the consequences of making themselves obsolete.

But why should a company be punished for making a successful product?
Cars are the most popular mode of transport. Do we sue the car industry because there’s not a better option. Much like YouTube there’s other options to watch videos online, they’re just not as good or popular.
You can’t punish a company because there’s a lack of competition. There would be no incentive to innovate.
Here’s an example. Say you, yourself tonight came up with and successfully got working a teleporting machine, it was affordable it was easy to make and everyone on the planet could have one. You change the world.
And then you wake up in 10 years and are being sued because people don’t have better options for travel. You alone know the secrets behind it, and you’re forced to sell it.
You did nothing wrong, but you’re punished. Explain how that concept is fair.
You’re basically saying that any product or service must give away its secrets so other company’s can make money from it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
The answer to your first question is yes. Yes, a company, even if the product is successful under certain circumstances should be curbed, punished, often broken in pieces and sometimes bought out and dissolved. Despite personal preferences.
You assume that the answer is no and proceed to explain it in vain. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

Can you give the people who buy it direct exclusive content or rewards that steam doesnt have? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
Not quite correct.
As per [Valve's docs](https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys), Valve doesn't allow you to sell ***Steam keys*** for cheaper elsewhere. The relevant parts:
* You should use Steam Keys to sell your game on other stores in a similar way to how you sell your game on Steam. It is important that you don’t give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam Key purchasers.
* Steam Keys shouldn't be given away for free if you aren't also offering the same deal (i.e., give the game away for free) to Steam customers. This includes giveaways for promotional purposes, unless that giveaway is very small (under 100 Steam Keys).
* It's OK to run a discount for Steam Keys on different stores at different times as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time.
Valve doesn't prevent you from selling ***non-Steam versions of your game*** for whatever you want.
It also should be noted that Valve doesn't get a cut of the sales that don't happen on Steam. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
Then just sell your stuff on the epic store.. this is just a cake and eat it too scenario where steam has the best market and people want in cheaper.
Why in a free market is there a lawyer asking for almost $1bn damages representing “14m” game devs telling them that 30% is exorbitant after the fact? The answer was: don’t sign the deal and distribute it yourself for no cost or turn to any other distributor looking for a better price. Not sign the deal, not do that well, then come looking for reprisals after your game didn’t earn you a million dollars.
TLDR: make a better game and distribute it yourself or, pay 30% to join the largest distribution platform for a shot like battlebit to make the big bucks. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
I thought it was just with the steam keys based on what I read. Do you have the source for what you mention?
I also remember having bought cyberpunk at a much, much lower price than it was on Steam, so I don't understand if it really applies. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
Can’t believe people actually like the Steam UI. It’s dated looking and not very intuitive to navigate. Sure, if you use it enough you get used to it and it’s totally fine, but that doesn’t make it a good UI.
It’s the one thing I think I can definitively say Epic does better than Steam. So much easier to navigate and cleaner to look at. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Many stores have some sort of exclusive product to attract buyers, whether we’re talking about a grocery store with some exclusive pasta sauce or a home improvement store with an exclusive line of paint. No rational person would argue that that means the store has a “monopoly” in any meaningful sense. And that’s without getting into situations where Epic funds development of the game in question (should Valve have to sell Half Life on EGS?). | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
So I could then say you’re not used to it; doesn’t make it bad. Should the Windows file explorer and layout be completely redone because newer generations haven’t learned and don’t understand file paths like those who learned on DOS or 3.1 do?
What’s the alternative you’d rather have? Something flashier like Epic where form rules over function, and every part of it is maximized for advertising? Sure, the Steam storefront page obviously is advertising its games, but ads aren’t intrusive throughout.
Disclaimer: I’m honestly not passionate about Steam’s UI one way or another; it just gives me nostalgia and I find it easy to find games, purchase them, and play them, which is all the functionality I need in Steam. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I don’t think that argument works in reverse. I’m almost no scenario would actually rather a UI that is difficult to use and “requires getting used to”.
Steam and file explorer are very similar in that they were both designed very long ago so their outdated UO can be excused. But if I’m purely looking at which is better to use today without the rose colored glasses, then yeah, I’m taking Epic. I disagree that form rules over function with Epic. I believe Steam is all function and no form, while Epic is a better balance of both. Less function than Steam, but vastly better form. Thereby Epic wins the UI competition.
Not sure where you are seeing more ads in Epic than Steam. I see very few ads in either. And no, a new release being promoted is not an ad. Either way, both steam and epic do that, so it’s a moot point. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
> Whether it's worth its commission is a whole other debate.
I don't think that's really up for debate by anyone serious.
A great example being that many major MMOs (including every team I've worked on) have little issue paying Steam their cut for access to the Steam userbase, even when they fully have their own infrastructure set up.
On a personal level, utilizing Steamcmd/Steamworks is a far, **far** better experience than EGS' BuildPatchTool and their godawful backend. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
> Whether that’s reasonable or not is debatable but it’s definitely not as bad as the blatantly illegal price parity clause people think Steam enforces.
I don't see how it's debatable, it's quite literally theft of service if you're skipping over Steam's cut but still having them handle content hosting/delivery, platform benefits, etc as a Steam key does. They're far from a useless middleman here, heh. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

That's all well and good that you did that, but it's interesting to consider how much it changed the impact of your original post.
Steam keys are an entirely optional value-add service that Valve provides those who sell on the platform and *don't* come with the 30% overhead per sale. There's understandably restrictions on this, given these are effectively providing access to Valve's services without the developer or consumer paying for it.
Is providing the free keys an unfair practice? What if they didn't? Because they don't have to. Given they're legally forced to make the terms less favorable, they have the option to simply stop providing the service. Is *that* good for game publishers, for the stores that sell the keys, for the consumers who get cheaper access to games?
That's been my ongoing question with these lawsuits in general. What, exactly, do the plaintiffs want to happen? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Being a monopoly in of itself usually isn't illegal, in order for there to be anti-trust action the company has to have had attempted or colluded to monopolize.
Both this and the Wolfire lawsuit make some claims, but they are sketchy. Maybe something will come up during discovery, but there's been no outward evidence of Valve deliberately exploiting their position to maintain their monopoly. Even the Steam Deck, a Steam "console", comes with an additional storefront (Flathub) that lets you install competitor's storefronts.
I don't think it's a good thing that Steam has a total monopoly, but the answer to this is for the other stores to stop being shit. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Valve has, in their wisdom, not forgotten that Steam is a desktop application first, so they continue to take advantage of that to allow for a greater amount of information density.

> Steam isn't a massive success because Valve started out making an amazing service, it's a success because they were the first to create this sort of platform and that let them become pretty much the default option for PC gaming.
EA launched EA downloader in 2005 and that led to Origin through to "EA App". There were many other upstarts at the same time, most of which failed, because they sucked. EA's had almost 2 decades to make something consumers want, to iterate and build on top of their failures. They've had every opportunity to.

Their product didn’t get less valuable, their costs for production got lower. As a consumer I’d like cheaper prices, sure, but I am also happy to accept that developers are free to charge a fair price for their product.

Gas engines cost the same to replace if you buy brand new ones. A new BMW engine for a 2019 3 series is like $25k brand new.

As I’ve had it explained to me by my dad, who worked in purchasing for many years, China will make you exactly what you ask for as long as you’re willing to pay for it. Otherwise, you get exactly what you pay for. Also, you need a resident QA guy who lives at the factory to make sure they don’t cut corners to lower their costs at the expense of your quality.
Basically, if you make it clear you want a good product, are willing to spend for it, and are willing to babysit it, China will make you good stuff.
Thing is, many companies are willing to accept lower quality stuff for a lower cost and ride on customer goodwill because it looks good next quarter, next year or decade be damned. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
"Electronics generally get cheaper over time" is a far cry from invoking Moore's Law, bud. I don't think anyone is suggesting electric cars are gonna double in range or capacity every two years, but I also can't think of a single electronic device or component offhand that hasn't gotten cheaper while simultaneously improving in quality.

For now. Do you think batteries will never get any cheaper?
Also, you get most combustion powered cars up to a quarter million miles and the engine fails catastrophically, cost of a new engine is often more than the vehicle is worth too so unless you're going the intellectually dishonest route of comparing an OEM battery pack replacement to giving a mechanic buddy a few cases of beer to slap in a junkyard engine over a weekend, this really isn't the damning point you think it is. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

I think you're right, we're going to see the smartphone-isation of electric vehicles. They will be designed to be as disposable as possible after a decent period of use, with things like battery replacement made difficult and expensive, to force people to buy new vehicles. This will be justified by pushing things like structural batteries further and further, until they find designs that make it almost impossible to replace the batteries without destroying the structural integrity of the vehicle. This will be sold to people as necessary to create appealing, lightweight vehicles, but will really only make a few percent difference vs creating something where you can replace parts. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
