Not enough gravity, the atmosphere will drift away from the planet with the help of solar winds etc. Too much gravity, and the ammount of fuel you need to leave the plannet weighs more than the rocket the fuel is being used to lift can carry.

Even in our current ships, most of the fuel used to leave orbit is really used to carry the other fuel you need later.

This is the straw that killed the cammels back for me. 15 year old account deleted.

Had to scroll too far to find this one.

The 2nd one is better in some minor ways, but the OG is a classic

Steam has had monopolistic policies. There just so benign compared to other monopolies of the current time, that they seem pedestrian.

Im not anti steam, but i try to never be pro any company.

Digital markets are naturally monopolistic. If there are no other barriers in a market, a single solution will rise to the top. Once it has gained enough market share, the “network effect” and incumbancy are often enough to keep it in power, even if the product degrades. Leaving steam is difficult, even when a better solution exists ( like gog) due to separated game libraries and friend groups.

See the following examples: Amazon, facebook, youtube, google, instagram, X

Amazon has many examples of enshitification. Higher prices, worse search, paid promotion of products etc.

Facebook adds, social experimentation and propaganda machine.

Youtube removes the dislike button, more advertisements and recommendation algorithm pushing conspiracy theories.

Hell. Here we are, a small group of people who left reddit because of their anti consumer policies. But lemmy is still no competition, and getting smaller by the day.

Markets are not the solution to monopoly, they are the creator. Its the natural end state of competition.
