Is This Even Legal?

Asshole design being incorrect again and even misplaced. Classic.

Humble is still the best place to buy games to support Devs and charities.

5% to charity is still higher than 0% like all other market places. They still have to make profit and support the staff that work there... They themselves aren't a charity.... Come guys.....

Also, they have the lowest cut take compared to all other market places. Steam, epic, Microsoft, they beat them all.... AND you can get steam keys from them.

If you ever have to buy a game on steam. Buy it from humble to better support the dev. Stop crying that everything isn't perfect, is still better than the rest. What's more annoying then shitty captilism is misplaced anger and uneducated consumers.

Whats a hobby/craft that you wouldn't expect that has an incredibly high ceiling either monetarily or in sheer skill?

Magic: the gathering.

There's several different styles of play known as "formats".

The Cheapest being "Standard". Which is the latest 3-5 sets released. The deck of 75 card deck can cost upwards of £500.

Then the most popular format, modern, which is the last 20ish years of release. The average deck there can be upwards of £1,500.

Then there's legacy and vintage where decks are in the high 4 figures and some even in the 5 figures.

The internet has been dying and changing for the worst for a long time.

Websites trying to be a one stop all on one site that keeps you there are 90% of web traffic these days.

Having multiple bookmarks for multiple sites for individual reasons are the small user basis.

Sites like Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, tik tok and YouTube etc are the majority of web useage. Gone are the days of forums for bespoke interests.

Discord as a closed ecosystem with none threaded or web searchable topics.

Ad ladden shit hole news sites. Click bait shite etc are the norm.

Gone are the days of enjoyabls fun to explore web surfing.
