It’s okay because one person is late and they also need to get some dinner down once they arrive. So it’s not your fault it runs long.

They could. That takes a lot more employees than they have and would mean that they were the place with all the shitty free games.

I don’t think it’s cynical. Their review model would make it very hard to make payment fair (we call always argue about whether Steam overcharges for its services) since it would be a pain in the butt to track income from advertisement.

But the advertisement business model makes for worse games. I think it makes great sense for Steam to ban them. And if games on Steam are better then that’s good for game developers that use their platform.

How would Steam get paid for their services if all your income was from ads?

Both are full so it reduces the amount of cold air that can escape when you open them.
