    Here’s a dev explaining it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/2618947

    Apparently they do chargebacks, which costs the gamedevs money.
    This is something that should have been in the opening post.
    It explains why using these sites actually causes harm.
    Instead of getting a game at a reduced rate without harming the dev much (just losing a sale) you’re actually harming the dev.

    This is something I didn’t know and now I’ll look more at discounted games on official platforms instead of these key sites.




  • Pretty funny that coming from a Norwegian because they still have the flag out many places in my opinion :)
    It’s actually one of the things that stuck out the most after I had moved there.
    Especially at “hytter” (vacation cabins) I think the majority has a flag out.
    Same for national day, you’ll see a bunch of flags.

    Compare that to Belgium, where I’m from. Even on national day it’s a rare sight to see a flag.
    And it’s only very fanatic people that will actually wave it around on the street.

    The moment you’ll see most flags out is probably during the world cup.
