They do for in app purchases. But there is also the ability for free to play games to seemingly avoid the steam tax by offering purchases through their own web store (See Albion Online and War Thunder, which upcharge in-app purchases by the exact amount Steam charges, but offers, even to steam accounts, the ability to purchase items from their web stores at the same price as accounts which were not created by steam users.)

I'm not actually sure that Sea Tribe's change in legal entity here is necessary for steam. It appears that historically, steam did not allow pass through partnerships from non-US residents to publish, unless they created a company (like this) they could tax.

However, it appears more recently Steam has allowed non-US pass through partnerships, so long as all partners provide appropriate tax data. I am not sure whether or not Jorb and Loftar were aware of this, or if they could satisfy Steam's tax requirements as is. So, I am not going to strongly conclude that this change to a taxable entity is necessarily a steam related change... Or that it isn't. There's some evidence that's not necessary, which would lead to the conclusion this isn't steam related.

But, I think it probably is Steam related. I am merely acknowledging the possibility and evidence that points to other possible conclusions.

Hopefully it is the fabled Steam release foretold of decades ago.
Hopefully single player will be possible too when that happens.
Hopefully world 15 gets wiped and we can start world 16 soon.

Losing my fucking mind here.

The new Seatribe limited company could signal some big changes. It might be a rebranding or a fresh start with new partners, especially since it's different from the older trading company.

Our HNH is used to develop programs for practice, just like ProjeckZomboid, although it is now. . .
Who cares? Our HNH is just a game for learning programming. jorb needs more IDEA and then makes another real game, just like Salem. I believe that in the near future, another game will be born soon, Salem's sister game.

I, on the other hand, believe you to be the most obnoxious and clueless schizo-rambler on the forums. Respectfully.
