There's also the gambling, and the 30% cut that allows them to make $3.5 million per head.

Steam is pushing the industry forward on Linux support though, so they have my support.

Flash sales were great but refunding is better.

While they are worse now, part of the problem is that long time users already have many of the games that get big discounts in the newer sales.

I've been steaming for that long as well!!!
