30% is industry standard
It was an industry standard, that's been changing for a while, just take a look at how much fire google and apple are taking over their stores.
but valve are good and kind and shit rainbows so they deserve money
Valve is a corporation, it might be less bad than the rest, but at the end of the day gabe is still sifting mai thais on his 500 million dollars yacht.
95% of the players on pc are on steam, if you don't publish your game there you're just shooting yourself in the foot - this has very little to do with the quality of the service valve provides and everything to do about their monopoly on the market. Would devs like to pay a smaller cut to valve? Sure, but it's just the cost of doing business, you go where your customers are.
the heel of the show i'm not familiar with that idiom. if you don't realize you've been getting an increasingly shallower version of the same character you've not been paying attention, it usually happens naturally in tv shows (flanderization) - like how homelander is suddenly asexual and breast milk obsessed. but yes the writers are pulling in every stop to make sure you hate the character because they understandably don't want people to root for the main villain which for some reason is trump 2.0, as if we needed yet another portrayal of that. the amount of shows that don't degrade after season 1 is incredibly low unfortunately.
Yeah the writers didn't like how part of the audience sided with homelander in the first couple of seasons, so they did what writers do and took a hammer to the character.
It's unlikely that whatever issue you're having with your games is because of the desktop environment.
developing an app directly on wayland and that it would be really difficult.
yes it would - you'd just end up reimplementing work from projects like SDL and gtk, this is why we invented libraries.
firefox and gtk
firefox is gtk3 based, which is substantially different from gtk4, and moreso adwaita. there's some discussion about porting to gtk4, but for large projects like these shit is slow moving - just look at how long steam is taking to port their client to wayland.
The blockers are in Gnome's design guidelines
And yet most gnome apps use context menus... They're just not a priority given that any functionality in a context menu needs to be duplicated elsewhere so that people can find it. This isn't just a gnome thing btw, it's the way UI everywhere is going: Hamburger menus all the way down.
bottles
I like it, i use lutris though because i don't care for the sandboxing.
I never mentioned publishers, in fact indies do not even have publishers. Can you stop with this whataboutism ?
