  • Unfortunately, I have the opposite experience. Living in rural Australia I often come across people who treat any non-white person as “other”.

    A good example of this is an ex-coworker who refused to eat Indian food because she’s not a “curry muncher”. I pointed out that she likes butter chicken and that’s curry. She admitted that she did indeed like butter chicken but not curry.

    That’s the logic we’re dealing with. It’s hostility driven by a lack of exposure to other cultures and people and the demonisation of those cultures and people in media.

















  • Don’t forget non-profitable free-to-use features such as:

    • Steam Link
    • Cloud storage for saves and screenshots
    • Over the internet couch co-op (I don’t remember the name.

    And there’s probably more that I’m forgetting. These things cost Valve money to make and maintain. Only a small portion of users actually use these features and yet it’s not locked behind some subscription or whatever and instead can be used by all users of the platform.
