Additionally if there was no Steam tax, then it would incentivize developers to buy their own games over and over in a bid to make it look more popular. I'm sure some developers do it now, but at least they have to pay a Valve tax to do it.
I think it’s because if they see someone they know lose weight and don’t do it themselves they will feel like a loser/failure. But if they stop you from losing weight then “it’s just not possible for anyone”. Good luck good job keep it up to get it down.
